Thinking about popping into Toyota of Orlando to take home a new Toyota truck? When you get here, don't be surprised if you're torn - our two new truck options both have a lot to offer, and many truck drivers find themselves unsure as to which best suits their drive time needs. We're here to help - we're breaking down the main differences between the Orlando Toyota Tundra and Toyota Tacoma so you can shop with confidence and decide which to put in your driveway! Should you take home the new Toyota Tacoma? We're going to break it down for you in terms of categories and remember - specific features depend on specific models, so don't be afraid to scope all of our online inventory if you're still not sure what's going to work. Let's get started! Price: The 2018 Toyota Tundra has a starting MSRP of $31,420. The 2018 Toyota Tacoma, on the other hand, kicks off at $25,400. It's a smaller truck than its sibling, so it's no surprise that it has a lower starting MSRP. Engine options: The new Toyota Tundra comes with the option of a 4.6L V8 (310 horsepower and 327 lb-ft torque) or 5.7L V8 (381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque). The 2018 Toyota Tacoma comes with the option of a 2.7L 4-cylinder (159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft torque) or 3.5L V6 (278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft torque). Obviously, both present solid options that you can choose among to best fit your drive time needs. Additionally, both offer cool performance technology like Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence to improve fuel efficiency and also give you a bit more power. When it comes to putting the pedal to the metal, the Tundra takes the cake (after all, it has a bigger and more powerful engine to get you going). However, the Tacoma pulls ahead in terms of fuel efficiency - it gets 18/22 mpg while its larger sibling gets 15/19 mpg. Towing: Since it's rocking a larger engine, the 2018 Toyota Tundra can obviously tow more. It can pull up to 10,000 lbs while the Tacoma manages a still-impressive 6,400 lbs. You can find long, regular, and short bed options in both trucks to better suit your hauling needs, too. Interior space: Since it's a larger truck, the Tundra does offer more wiggle room inside the cabin. However, you can seat up to five inside both of these Orlando Toyota trucks. When it comes to parking and storing inside a garage, you'll find more maneuverability with the Tacoma since it's more compact than its sibling. Does the 2018 Toyota Tundra suit your needs? Off-roading: The Orlando Toyota Tacoma takes first place in this category - it's renowned across the world for its off-roading capabilities. You'll find more off-road packages and accessories up for grabs, and it's also smaller and lighter than the Tundra, giving it an obvious advantage. However, the best way to choose a new ride is to get behind the wheel yourself and see which one suits you better. Why not take both of these Orlando Toyota trucks for a test drive? They're waiting for you at our dealership and we're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall!

The good old tailgate - what better way to show pride in your school, Alma matter, or simply your favorite team? There’s no doubt that even if you place a group of people with nothing in common, one thing they do share is their passion for football. Whether it’s because they’re into sports, love their school, or even just like dressing up for tailgates. No matter the case, Toyota of Orlando is here with an easy guide on what you should pack to have an epic tailgate, just in time for the UCF and SC game! Which new Toyota should you take to the tailgate this season? First things first, not every car is fit for tailgates. Toyota of Orlando offers a variety of SUVs and trucks that are best suited for celebrating the upcoming football season. A few Orlando Toyota vehicles that we recommend for ideal tailgates include large vehicles like the Toyota Tundra, Highlander, 4Runner, and Tacoma. With all that extra space, you’ll have no problem celebrating with all your friends! What Should You Pack? Portable Couch: Portable couches are easy to travel with. They are the size of a suitcase when folded; once it gets opened, it turns into a pretty comfortable love seat. Toyota of Orlando’s trucks like the Tundra and Tacoma will make a great haven on the bed of the truck for the portable couch. Bluetooth Speakers: Evidently, speakers are a must. Music will always be the mood setter in situations, therefore in this situation, it’s important to remember the reason behind this Orlando football celebration! Portable Grill: This is pretty self-explanatory. No grill equals no food and without food you can’t have a proper tailgate. Cooler: On a hot day with so many people around you, a cold refreshing drink does not sound like a bad idea. It is what keeps you pumped and hydrated throughout the day so that you could cheer on your team! Cooler for Hot Foods: Yes, you read correctly. This is something you can finally use a DIY skill for. Use an empty cooler and cover the inside with foil and hot bricks. Be warned, this trick isn’t meant to cook your food. It’s meant to keep your tailgate delights warm and enjoyable to eat. Jumper Cables: While this seems more like an emergency item rather than a tailgate necessity, jumper cables will prove useful in the event that your Orlando Toyota battery loses too much charge. During the tailgating celebration, you’ll most likely forget that your car is running or you may be using accessories that require power from your car.

The good old tailgate - what better way to show pride in your school, Alma matter, or simply your favorite team? There’s no doubt that even if you place a group of people with nothing in common, one thing they do share is their passion for football. Whether it’s because they’re into sports, love their school, or even just like dressing up for tailgates. No matter the case, Toyota of Orlando is here with an easy guide on what you should pack to have an epic tailgate, just in time for the UCF and SC game! Which new Toyota should you take to the tailgate this season? First things first, not every car is fit for tailgates. Toyota of Orlando offers a variety of SUVs and trucks that are best suited for celebrating the upcoming football season. A few Orlando Toyota vehicles that we recommend for ideal tailgates include large vehicles like the Toyota Tundra, Highlander, 4Runner, and Tacoma. With all that extra space, you’ll have no problem celebrating with all your friends! What Should You Pack? Portable Couch: Portable couches are easy to travel with. They are the size of a suitcase when folded; once it gets opened, it turns into a pretty comfortable love seat. Toyota of Orlando’s trucks like the Tundra and Tacoma will make a great haven on the bed of the truck for the portable couch. Bluetooth Speakers: Evidently, speakers are a must. Music will always be the mood setter in situations, therefore in this situation, it’s important to remember the reason behind this Orlando football celebration! Portable Grill: This is pretty self-explanatory. No grill equals no food and without food you can’t have a proper tailgate. Cooler: On a hot day with so many people around you, a cold refreshing drink does not sound like a bad idea. It is what keeps you pumped and hydrated throughout the day so that you could cheer on your team! Cooler for Hot Foods: Yes, you read correctly. This is something you can finally use a DIY skill for. Use an empty cooler and cover the inside with foil and hot bricks. Be warned, this trick isn’t meant to cook your food. It’s meant to keep your tailgate delights warm and enjoyable to eat. Jumper Cables: While this seems more like an emergency item rather than a tailgate necessity, jumper cables will prove useful in the event that your Orlando Toyota battery loses too much charge. During the tailgating celebration, you’ll most likely forget that your car is running or you may be using accessories that require power from your car. Either way, have a set of jumper cables on hand in the event that you need a jump. Shop all of our Orlando Toyotas in time for the big game!

When was the last time you brought your car in for brake service at our Orlando Toyota service center? If you can't remember, it may be time to let our techs take a peek under the hood. However, if you're already on a routine brake service schedule then you should be good to go unless something goes amiss. That's where we come in - Toyota of Orlando is here to give you 6 warnings signs that you should never ignore. Let's get started! When should you be worried about your brakes? Sign #1: You smell a weird smell, like burning carpet, when you brake. Any out-of-the-ordinary smells should never be ignored, but if you smell an odd odor that kind of reminds you of burning carpet when you hit the brakes, then it may mean your brakes are overheated (which is never good). If they can't cool off, you run the risk of brake failure. Bring your car in to have it checked! Sign #2: You hear your brakes screeching or squealing when you use them. Squealing or screeching noises are usually due to the fact that you need new brake pads - brakes have a set of indicators built into them and they emit this noise when your brake pads are too thin so you know it's time for brake service. Don't ignore it - your rotors can be damaged if your brake pads are too thin, and this can be costly to fix. Sign #3: You have to press harder than usual to come to a stop. Feel like you have to press harder than usual to bring your car to a stop? This can indicate a big problem and imminent brake failure (and it's also very unsafe when you're driving). Have our Orlando auto service techs check it out for you. Sign #4: You feel vibrations when you press the brakes. If you feel like your car is vibrating, shaking, or shuddering when you brake, then your rotors may be damaged due to brake pad issues. You'll need to have this fixed immediately so bring your car in. Know when it's time to schedule Orlando auto repairs for this very important part Sign #5: Your car is pulling to one side when you slow or stop. If your car seems to pull itself to one side when you brake then you may have an issue with a brake caliper malfunctioning or a leaky brake hose not getting brake fluid where it needs to go. Don't ignore this sensation. Sign #6: Your brake service light is on in the dashboard. This one is pretty obvious - if this light is illuminated in your dash, then you have a problem with something in your brake system! Don't ignore it and don't let it go too long - get your car in for Orlando auto service as soon as you can to avoid expensive and time-consuming repairs. Feel like you may have an issue on your hands? Come on down to Toyota of Orlando's auto service center! We're open seven days a week and you can drop by 3575 Vineland Road OR call (407) 298-0001 to schedule your appointment and learn more about our service specials today.
