It's back - the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser has officially been unveiled and is headed to a dealership near you next spring. Our Orlando Toyota dealership has the details on what this reimagined fan favorite will offer when it arrives... let's dive in. Before we get deep into the details of what the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is bringing to the table, let's start with the basics. Remember - the last time we saw this SUV was back in 2021. In its last iteration, it was a full-sized luxury SUV that also had off-roading capabilities woven into its sophisticated design. This made it expensive ($80k+), and it was also sporting a 5.7L V8 engine under the hood that was great for power but dismal in terms of fuel efficiency. Here are the most notable changes headed our way. The newest model is focused on its off-roading heritage instead of luxury. You can still count on a high-quality Orlando Toyota, but the 2024 model will be toned down in terms of luxury features and have a starting MSRP in the mid $50,000 range. Gone is the V8 engine, replaced with an i-FORCE MAX turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder hybrid powertrain. What's new on the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser? You've got the general idea - now let's dig into the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser a little bit more. Here's what you should know before it arrives at Toyota of Orlando. The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser sits on the global TNGA-F body-on-frame platform, which is great for off-roading. It has more rigidity in the chassis with new high-strength steel. This new iteration of the classic SUV is 4.4 inches narrower and 1.2 inches shorter than its predecessor. There are three models headed to Toyota of Orlando - the Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Land Cruiser 1958, and the Toyota Land Cruiser First Edition. The new turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid system gets 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This is more horsepower and torque than the previous V8 engine, and you'll get better fuel efficiency as well. All 2024 Toyota Land Cruisers are equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system with a center locking differential and an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case with high/low range. They'll also have vehicle stability control and automatic limited-slip differential. Electronic locking rear differential is also standard on all models for superior control on rough terrain. An all-new front stabilizer bar disconnect is standard on Land Cruiser and First Edition grades and increases flex at the push of a button. The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser has an approach angle of up to 31.0 degrees and a max departure of 22.0 degrees while the breakover angle reaches 25.0 degrees, and ground clearance is up to 8.7 inches. You'll also find multi-terrain select, CRAWL control, downhill assist control, and a multi-terrain monitor. Additionally, front tow/recovery hooks come standard. This new Orlando Toyota can tow up to 6,000 lbs. Plus, if you want to take your off-roading game to the next level you can add accessories like rock rails, skid plates, and more through the new AAP program - you can choose from more than 100 accessories for off-roading, overlanding, and performance. Climb behind the wheel of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser What about looks? The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is a far cry from the last model (the 200 Series). Here are some of the things we love about this all-new model: A smaller interior - gone are the 8 seats, replaced by a spacious and ergonomic five-seater interior. It's also updated with a new moonroof Updated cabin technology. You'll find the latest Audio Multimedia System with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as connected services and over-the-air updates. You'll also have access to a 12.3-inch multimedia monitor, a digital rearview mirror, and a 14-speaker premium JBL sound system. Plus, no matter where adventure takes you you'll have 4G connectivity for up to five devices. A sleek but functional look. Each model has a different interior, and you'll find options ranging from fabric to SofTex to leather-trimmed seats in multiple colors. Cool heritage badging, unique round headlights, and new paint colors round out the package. You can choose from hues like Wind Chill Pearl, Trail Dust, and Heritage Blue, just to name a few. A sporty exterior. The new exterior of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is still stylish, but in a whole new way. It's boxier and edgier and showcases features like RIGID lighting, 18" alloy wheels, running boards, roof racks, mudflaps, rock rails, and more. New safety tech. You'll find the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system standard on ALL 2024 Toyota Land Cruisers, as well as a blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and hill start assist control. You don't have to sacrifice comfort, either. The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser will come with options like power-heated and ventilated seats, a head-up display, Qi charging, and more.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has been revealed and the automotive world can't get enough of it. Not only is it sporting a new look and new technology inside the cabin, but it's also rocking all-new features when it comes to performance. Today we're hinging on one of the major talking points: the 2024 Tacoma engine. Which 2024 Tacoma engines are available to you? When you shop for the newest generation of the Orlando Toyota Tacoma, you'll have two engine options available to you. Here's the breakdown: A 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder. This 2024 Tacoma engine offers 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft torque on the SR model, and those numbers increase to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft torque on all other models. This is because the other models pair this particular engine with an 8-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission with intelligence. There's more good news, too - you can still get a six-speed manual transmission with automatic rev matching and anti-stall technology. The manual transmission gets 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft torque. An i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. This is the most powerful powertrain available on the Tacoma to date. It has a 2.4L engine with a 48-hp electric motor, as well as an 8-speed transmission. This combination results in a 2024 Tacoma engine that produces 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft torque. You'll be able to get it on the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter models. This 2024 Tacoma engine doubles the torque output of the 2023 Tacoma V6 engine and can ascend an 8% interstate grade without needing to downshift. What is the 2024 Tacoma 0-60 mph time? So, how long will it take the new 2024 Tacoma to get from 0 - 60 mph? We don't have an answer for you on that quite yet (although we'd love to test it out). However, we can tell you from experience that the i-FORCE MAX engine under the hood will make it an impressive number. Remember, you're going to have 465 lb-ft torque to work with. The more torque a car has, the faster it gets from 0-60. We'll give you an example - the 2023 Toyota Tundra has a 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine under the hood. (It's a different engine that what'll be in the Tacoma but you get the idea). Despite the size and weight of the truck, this Tundra manages to get from 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds. We're thinking similar (if not faster) figures will apply to the 2024 Tacoma 0-60 time. What are the 2024 Tacoma MPG estimates? No info on this one yet, either. (We know, we know.) However, we're looking at it the same way that we looked at the new Toyota Tundra. The old V8 engine in the Tundra got dismal fuel efficiency, and introducing the i-FORCE MAX engine bumped it up to 20/24 mpg. Not insanely efficient like a Toyota Prius, but still an improvement. The current V6 option in the Toyota Tacoma gets 18/22 mpg. We think that pushing a new i-FORCE MAX engine into the bay will bump up fuel efficiency further when it comes to 2024 Tacoma MPG estimates, giving you a nice blend of fuel economy and power. Follow Toyota of Orlando for updates on the 2024 Tacoma engine and more As soon as we have more information about the 2024 Tacoma 0-60 and mpg estimates, we'll get back to you. You can follow us for updates on social media, as well as call us for more info at (407) 298-4500. Toyota of Orlando is located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road.

We're beyond excited about the completely overhauled 2024 Toyota Tacoma headed our way later this year, and we're willing to bet that you are, too. However, we're not just excited about the new design, the new performance features, and the new tech that's going to be woven in - we're also (overly) excited about the all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter edition. The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter is a brand new special edition that's been added to the lineup this year. And not only is it sporting all of the incredible updates that the redesign is bringing to the table, but it's also introducing - for the first time - aftermarket parts as part of its standard features. Let's dig into the details of this off-road-ready Tacoma that's already making waves. What is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter, and why are people so excited about it? The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter is described by Toyota as "a factory-developed overlanding rig built from the ground up with the latest integrated off-road equipment from ARB, Old Man Emu, and RIGID." Adventure is definitely within your reach in the Trailhunter, and here's why. It has a new Old Man Emu (OME) 4×4 Suspension by ARB that is tuned for optimum levels of off-road control and load-carrying capability. Toyota actually worked directly with ARB to codevelop this suspension system. ARB also helped Toyota develop the Trailhunter even further by integrating a steel rear bumper, robust rear recovery points, and a bed utility bar with removable MOLLE panels into the design. The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter comes in 5- or 6-foot bed configurations, and there's also an ARB bed rack to support a rooftop tent or canopy. It has 33-inch Goodyear Territory R/T tires that jack it up an additional two inches in the front and one and a half inches in the rear. There's a standard high-clearance trail exhaust tip as well as a low-profile high-mount Trailhunter Air Intake. The air intake is routed up the passenger-side A-pillar to push cleaner air to the i-FORCE MAX engine. You'll also find rock rails and a multitude of hot-stamped high-strength steel skid plates for ultimate protection off the beaten path. The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter is serving looks, too. It's got a bronze-colored “TOYOTA” heritage-inspired grille with an integrated 20-inch LED light bar that’s complemented by white/yellow color-switching RIGID LED fog lamps. You'll also love the triangular lighting in the bed of the truck to avoid dark spots, as well as integrated bedside scene lighting to illuminate the area around the truck (perfect for setting up camp in the dark). There's a 2400W AC inverter that provides power to two locations in the cabin and the rear deck, where you'll find both 12V and USB outlets. Trailhunter also comes pre-wired for accessories with three auxiliary toggle switches on the dashboard so you can customize things further. 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter MSRP: What is it? It's a burning question, and we get it. We don't have any information about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter price yet. However, we'll be sure to keep you posted. The best to get updates about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter price, availability, specs, and more is to follow us on social media - we'll keep you in the loop. Get aftermarket parts for your Toyota... from Toyota And here's the best news yet (we're really, really happy about it) - additional accessories are now (finally) available through the new Associated Accessory Products program (AAP). This means you can customize your Tacoma Trailhunter exactly the way you want straight from our Toyota dealership. The AAP will continue to grow and evolve and currently includes over 100 accessories such as off-road recovery gear, rack attachment brackets for storage gear, outdoor sporting equipment carriers, and more. These products can also be conveniently rolled into your monthly payments, and they aren’t exclusive to Trailhunter, either, making accessorizing any other Tacoma easier than ever. Now you can find your aftermarket parts through a trusted source, as well as have our expertise when you're shopping.

If you've been living on this planet, you're probably aware that the new Barbie movie is about to hit theaters and make Millenials worldwide take a deep dive into nostalgia. And with the movie has come an endless parade of pink... well, everything. It's never been easier to live your best Barbie life, and our Orlando Toyota dealership is taking things up a level - check out this quick list of parts and car accessories to Barbie-fy your new Toyota before you hit the road! 6 car accessories to Barbie-fy your Orlando Toyota #1: Pink seat covers. Investing in pink seat covers is dual-purpose - not only will it create a vibrant pink vibe inside of your car, but it'll also protect your car seats from wear and tear. Car seat covers ward off harmful UV rays that can dry, crack, and fade seats, and also protect them from staining and other forms of damage from you sitting in them. You can even find covers for the backseat, too. #2: Pink cup holder coasters. Bringin your Starbies along for the ride and sick of spills and condensation accumulating in your cupholders? Try out a pair of cupholder coasters. They're designed to absorb moisture and protect your vehicle's cup holders from long-term damage... and they're pink. Every time you pick up your drink you'll get a flash of your fav color. #3: Pink steering wheel cover. Another dual-purpose car accessory is a steering wheel cover. There are endless options when it comes to pink, and not only will it up the ante for your Barbification, but also protect your steering wheel from the sun and your hands. It even has a third purpose - things heat up in the summer in Florida, and a steering wheel cover will protect your hands from a hot steering wheel when you get behind the wheel. #4: Pink license plate frames. When you buy a car at Toyota of Orlando, we hook you up with a sweet free license plate frame. But if you're going the Barbie route and want something with a little bling and a whole lot of pink, check out the endless pink license plate frame options on Amazon to customize your ride on the outside. #5: Pink push button start ring. Make yourself smile every time you start your car - consider a bedazzled, pink ring that goes around your push button start button. No matter where you're headed, you'll have a little Barbie in your life when you get things up and running in your Orlando Toyota. #6: Pink floor mats. And just one more car accessory that's pink AND useful - floor mats. Pink floor mats (especially if paired with pink seat covers) will transform the interior of your car into one worth a Barbie road trip, and they also protect the floor of your car from sand, mud, moisture, and dirty shoes.
