Has the thought of adding a car spoiler to your Orlando Toyota recently crossed your mind? It's a great way (and an affordable one) to create a custom look for your ride and also - believe it or not - to improve your car's performance. However, although they're just an accessory, you do need to take a few things into consideration before you buy and install a car spoiler. See what the experts at our Toyota of Orlando body shop have to say about it! What you should consider before adding a car spoiler #1: You need to do the right research. You can't just buy any car spoiler and stick it on your car - you run the risk of it looking ridiculous. Certain spoilers look good with certain vehicles, so do your research. And don't just rely on pictures. Remember, they're taken at certain angles and with particular lighting. Try to find the car spoiler you want in real life and look at it on a car that's similar to yours to get the best idea of how it'll look after you install it. #2: You need it to match your vehicle's paint color. If you're buying a carbon fiber spoiler or one that's primed to paint, you're in good shape. However, if you're buying one that's already painted, you need to ensure that it's going to have to match the existing car paint color on your car or you run the risk of it clashing. Paint codes are unique to makes and models, so do your due diligence before swiping your credit card. #3: You'll have to care for it much like the rest of your car. You'll have to take care of your car spoiler much like the rest of the car - wash it, wax it, etc. And don't forget, it can still be damaged like the rest of your Orlando Toyota, too. It's at risk of dings, dents, scratches, and even wind damage if the weather is bad enough, so take the proper precautions. Why you should invest in a car spoiler However, we're big fans of car spoilers here at Toyota of Orlando. Here's why we think it's a great accessory to add to your car: #1: It creates a truly custom look. You can spend a ton of money swapping out wheels, having your car repainted, etc. - or you can add a spoiler to the back. It's an easy way to create a custom look for your ride without having to spend a ton of money or put your car in the shop for a long period of time. #2: It enhances performance. Believe it or not, adding this car accessory can actually enhance your car's performance. Car spoilers catch wind when you're out on the road and this actually causes them to push the back of your car down, giving you improved handling. It's a performance improvement that you don't even have to crack the hood for, and it's free. Have questions about car spoilers or want to start shopping? Call Toyota of Orlando today. We're open seven days a week at (407) 298-0001 and conveniently located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Everyone loves a good concept car and this year at SEMA 2021, Toyota fulfilled. Seven custom Toyota concept vehicles were just revealed and our Orlando Toyota dealership has the breakdown on each of them. Which of these custom Toyota concepts would you drive? #1: TRD Desert Chase Tundra As if there wasn't already enough buzz about the new 2022 Toyota Tundra, Toyota upped its game and turned it into an off-road racing chase support vehicle. This new Toyota concept truck was transformed by the Toyota Motorsports Garage Team and includes a long-travel suspension system, a wide-body kit, a custom roll bar with two spare tires mounted on it, a custom-mounted off-road jack, and all of the other recovery equipment needed to rescue a fellow driver in harsh desert conditions. #2: "Tacozilla" Toyota Tacoma Camper We already talked about the " Tacozilla ", a Tacoma converted into a camper made for off-road adventures, at length. We'd buy it. They should make it. #3: 2022 Lifted and Accessorized Toyota Tundra The 2022 Toyota Tundra itself will be up for grabs next month (hint - follow us on social media for updates), but not like this. This customized Supersonic Red truck will offer a 3" lift kit among other things and will showcase a wide variety of the 100+ accessories that will be available for this redesigned truck. The good news? You can order each and every one of them right here at Toyota of Orlando to customize YOUR new Tundra. #4: TRD Sport Trailer Overlanders, get ready - this all-new overland trailer is designed for finding adventures in the toughest terrains. The trailer is made out of a Tacoma pickup bed and can serve as a base camp for overlanders, offering a remote-operated scissor lift for an additional platform, as well as a Yakima four-person tent with awning, a fridge a slide-out sink, a stove, lighting, fresh and gray water tanks, and a hot water heater for hot showers no matter where your adventures take you. #5: Tacoma Overlanding Concept Cruiser Outfitters and Toyota came together on this one to put together a Tacoma truly intended for adventures off the pavement. This concept truck showcases an Old Man Emu BP-51 adjustable suspension system, Dakar leaf springs in the rear, an ARB summit combo bar with fog lights, an Ultra HD skid plate system, rock sliders, and rocker protection. It also has a Yakima rooftop tent so you can go wherever the wind takes you and be ready for anything. #6: GR Supra Heritage Edition This incredible concept Toyota has 500+ horsepower, is sporting Re-Entry Red as its paint color, and has retro-inspired headlights and taillights as well as a rear wing that takes it back to the 1990s. It also has a tuned engine and turbocharger, bigger brakes, and custom push-rod rear suspension for bigger wheels and tires. #7: GR Supra Sport Top This open-top Toyota Supra was carefully designed to be open-air but still offers the structural rigidity and safety you'd need to hit the road. The two removable roof panels can be stored in the trunk of the car, and there's no "t-top" design - it's just open air above. It also has retro styling similar to the GR Supra Heritage Edition. Honestly, bring them all into production. We're ready for it!

Here at Toyota of Orlando, we love to sit back with the popcorn and watch the rumor mill churn. And we especially love it when the rumors surround bringing back much-loved icons like some of the popular sports cars in Toyota's past - namely, the Toyota MR2. This iconic coupe was a popular ride back in the 80s - 00s era, and with good reason. It was a unique mid-engine design that offered power but also fuel economy; it was also sporty and small, making it a ton of fun to drive. Is the Toyota MR2 headed back to Toyota of Orlando? However, to our chagrin, the Toyota MR2 was retired back in 2007 and we haven't seen it since. Imagine our excitement, then, when we hear rumors that it's coming back a la Supra - redesigned, retuned, and ready to hit the road. Here are the details! Supposedly, Toyota wants to bring the Toyota MR2 back to market. If you recall, back in 2017 there was a statement made by Tetsuya Tada, chief of Toyota Gazoo Racing, about a future performance-based group of cars called the "three brothers". So far we have the Orlando Toyota 86 and Toyota Supra, so it wouldn't be out of the question to assume that the MR2 could be making its grand return. According to rumors, Toyota is looking for a partner on the project similar to how they partnered with Subaru for the 86 and BMW for the Supra. If what we're hearing is true, they want to partner with either Lotus or Porsche. The new Toyota MR2 would harness hybrid power under the hood - specifically, plug-in hybrid power. It would be mid-engine again, with a 2.8L or 3.0L V6 engine that would offer anywhere from 345 horsepower to 395 horsepower. Pricing would kick off at around $43,900, making it even more expensive than the current Toyota Supra models at Toyota of Orlando. Aesthetically, the rumors claim that this revived icon will look similar to the Toyota Alessandro Volta concept, which featured a sleek and modern sports car. However, this concept was designed back in 2004, so we don't know how much weight this one holds. Supposedly, this iconic sports car would be returning to market in 2024, which means it would already have to be in development to meet the timeline. We truly don't know what to expect from this rumor - it may be just that and disappear in a few months with nothing coming to fruition. We'll just have to wait and see! However, if you need to get your sports car fix, come on down to Toyota of Orlando. We can get you behind the wheel of the new Toyota 86 or Toyota Supra so you can see which of them meets your drive time needs! Test drive a sports car today at Toyota of Orlando Our Orlando Toyota dealership is located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road. Come see us in person, or call!

It's another week in the world of Toyota news, and Toyota of Orlando is here with all the updates you need to stay current in our corner of the world. From a new US-based electric car battery plant to a die-hard Supra driver, we've got all the latest and greatest news - check it out. Man bodily protects his Supra from a hailstorm We all know that some people love their cars. Like, really love them - name them, treat them like children, would do anything. But we saw a whole new level of devotion on TikTok this weekend. A man in Sydney, Australia was featured actually COVERING HIS SUPRA with his body to protect it from hail. Apparently, he had cardboard and blankets to mostly cover the car and fend off the elements, but the hood was left unprotected so he himself acted as a human shield to try and prevent hail damage. All we can say is ouch. Toyota testing hydrogen combustion engines in race cars Toyota recently announced that they're testing hydrogen combustion technology in the engines of their race cars in an effort to hopefully start utilizing this clean tech in their commercial cars (aka what you drive every day). It wouldn't happen anytime soon, of course - the technology is still in its infancy and would need to be tested and studied thoroughly before making it a mainstream option. Additionally, the infrastructure for this type of vehicle (fueling stations, repair shops, etc.) isn't in place and would take time to develop. Regardless, it's nice to know that another alternative fuel vehicle may be available in the future. Electric car battery plants coming to US Toyota is bringing more business to the US! Over the next decade, the automaker will invest a cool $1.3 billion to build an electric car battery plant right here in the U.S. It's expected to begin production in 2025. Additionally, another $3.4 billion will be spent on employee training and equipment to ensure the plant is up and running. We don't know exactly where the plants will be built, Is a new special edition Tundra model coming? Rumor has it that not only is the 2022 Toyota Tundra completely redesigned, but it's also bringing a new special edition to the table. Most other truck makes (like Ford, RAM, and GMC) have a top-of-the-line luxury model in their truck lineup that pulls out all the stops. It's been speculated that Toyota WILL offer a luxury model at some point in the game called the "Capstone" model. Toyota hasn't confirmed anything, but here's to hoping! Toyota switching to hybrids and electric cars only in Brazil We all know that the push for cleaner energy is on, and Toyota is jumping aboard by upping their research and production of alternative fuel vehicles. They're taking it one step further in Brazil, though - in the next six years, the automaker till ONLY sell hybrid and electric vehicles in that country.

If you're driving a high mileage car, you know that even if it's the best quality around (ahem, Toyota) it's bound to have issues occasionally simply because as things get older, they wear out. However, there are ways to keep your older Toyota on the road for years to come. First, routine maintenance. We know we're always bugging you to get your oil changed, but sticking to a routine car maintenance schedule will keep everything running as it should and also give our techs the opportunity to spot any developing issues and nip them in the bud before they become big and expensive. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> What car maintenance should you be doing for an older vehicle? On top of a car care schedule, here are a few other suggestions: Test things frequently. If you have an older vehicle, our Orlando Toyota service techs recommend checking things frequently (and they're not just talking about under the hood). It's to your benefit to check your A/C, heater, defroster, radio, all of your lighting, your power-adjustable seats and any other knobs, switches, or buttons in your ride. Oftentimes if you catch issues early, they're less expensive and time-consuming to deal with.  Our techs can give you an estimate on the repair and you can decide if you want to schedule it or if you can live without said feature for the remainder of your car's ownership. Get creative and find workarounds. Let's say your car does need repairs for something non-performance-related. Do you have to shell out for it, or can you find a workaround? Aesthetic imperfections can often be cured by aftermarket parts and accessories - faded seats can get seat covers, peeling wood-grain accents can be covered or painted, and non-functioning radios can be updated to newer audio systems. However, we don't recommend taking this course of action if you're dealing with mechanical or electrical issues. It's best to leave those to the experts at Toyota of Orlando so you don't cause a bigger (and much more expensive) problem. Do your research. Do your research before you schedule auto repairs for your older car. Is this something you can do DIY style at home? Is it an issue that needs to be addressed immediately, or can it wait a little bit? Make a list of all the auto repairs your ride needs and figure out how much it's going to cost. This can help you narrow things down to must-fix and fix later; it can also help you decide if it's worth it to sink the money into the car, or if it's time to trade in and trade up (and don't forget, our Vehicle Exchange Program can help you make that happen).

If you're driving a high mileage car, you know that even if it's the best quality around (ahem, Toyota) it's bound to have issues occasionally simply because as things get older, they wear out. However, there are ways to keep your older Toyota on the road for years to come. First, routine maintenance. We know we're always bugging you to get your oil changed, but sticking to a routine car maintenance schedule will keep everything running as it should and also give our techs the opportunity to spot any developing issues and nip them in the bud before they become big and expensive. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> What car maintenance should you be doing for an older vehicle? On top of a car care schedule, here are a few other suggestions: Test things frequently. If you have an older vehicle, our Orlando Toyota service techs recommend checking things frequently (and they're not just talking about under the hood). It's to your benefit to check your A/C, heater, defroster, radio, all of your lighting, your power-adjustable seats and any other knobs, switches, or buttons in your ride. Oftentimes if you catch issues early, they're less expensive and time-consuming to deal with.  Our techs can give you an estimate on the repair and you can decide if you want to schedule it or if you can live without said feature for the remainder of your car's ownership. Get creative and find workarounds. Let's say your car does need repairs for something non-performance-related. Do you have to shell out for it, or can you find a workaround? Aesthetic imperfections can often be cured by aftermarket parts and accessories - faded seats can get seat covers, peeling wood-grain accents can be covered or painted, and non-functioning radios can be updated to newer audio systems. However, we don't recommend taking this course of action if you're dealing with mechanical or electrical issues. It's best to leave those to the experts at Toyota of Orlando so you don't cause a bigger (and much more expensive) problem. Do your research.
