Are you ready for back to school? It's time to pack up the backpacks, plot your route to school, start setting the alarm earlier and prepare yourself for the busy school year to start. As you hit the road to get back to school this fall, however, remember that with the change in routine comes a whole new set of road hazards for you to look out for. Toyota of Orlando is here with tips to help you avoid these road hazards and get back to school safely (and as stress-free as possible!). Look out for these road hazards this fall Road hazard #1: Heavier traffic. Back to school means more traffic out and about on the roads as parents get their kids to campus. You'll need to be aware of this and give yourself extra time to get where you're going. The last thing you want to do is to drive recklessly to make it to homeroom on time, so be sure to plot out your route to and from school, give yourself an extra 10-15 minutes, and always check your route before you leave home to see if there are any serious delays. Things should slow down a little after a few weeks, but there will be more cars on the road in Orlando during the school year, period. Road hazard #2: School buses. Back to school also means school buses are back on the roads. Remember, you have to be extra vigilant when driving around school buses because new rules apply. When you see their lights flashing and the stop signs swing out, you also have to stop, even if you're on the opposite side of the road. The only time you don't have to stop is if you're on the opposite side of the road and there's a divided median. Also, never pass a stopped bus as students are loading and unloading, and be sure to leave plenty of space in between the school bus and your Orlando Toyota. Road hazard #3: Bicycles. Lots of kids bike to school (and some parents, too) so be sure to be on the lookout for bicyclists. You should always yield to them, give them plenty of space when passing them, and double-check your surroundings before making a right turn to ensure your path is clear. Remember, some kids aren't totally steady on bikes so it's a good idea to give them plenty of breathing room. Road hazard #4: School zones. School zones will once again be active next week in Orlando! These special zones always have a lower speed limit that you have to stick to, and you'll also need to be ready to come to a stop in case a crossing guard has to get students across the street. You'll need to be extra attentive in school zones and watch out for bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and pedestrians. Road hazard #5:  Pedestrians. Whether you're in or out of a school zone, there's always more foot traffic during back to school. Lots of kids walk to school or to their bus stop, so be sure to pay close attention to what you're doing when you're behind the wheel. No distracted driving and always look both ways before pulling through stop signs and stoplights. Shop for "school supplies" (i.e. a new Toyota) at Toyota of Orlando!

It's a big week in Toyota news and we're hitting all the highlights here at Toyota of Orlando. Check out what's been trending this week below. Toyota introducing diesel engine? YouTubers were all aflutter this week as Toyota uploaded a new video series onto their official channel. Why? Because the series is basically a "diesel engine 101" tutorial. The series of shorts explain just how a diesel engine works. This is a big deal - and also out of the ordinary - because Toyota doesn't really make diesel engines at the moment. They killed off the last of their diesel engine production in Europe in 2018 and America has seen nada on that front in a long time, so we're interested to see why they're being so informative on the topic if not for a new and upcoming model that might sport one. We're rooting for a new Toyota Tundra diesel model which isn't out of the question; after all, despite all of the teasers and tidbits we've gotten about this new Orlando Toyota truck, Toyota still hasn't confirmed much about the engine. New 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser on lockdown So by now, we're all aware that the Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser has been put out to pasture. 2021 was the last model year for America, but a new, redesigned 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser will continue to carry the torch overseas. However, demand is super high and as this SUV is no longer available new in the US, there's potential for buyers to resell it overseas (and for an insane markup, we're sure). Toyota doesn't want this to happen as it could violate foreign exchange laws, so they're banning resale for anyone who purchases one. Buyers will have to sign a pledge saying they won't resell their new Toyota Land Cruiser for a certain period of time (we're not sure of the specifics yet) and if they do, both they and the dealer could face issues. New baseball-themed EV concept car created for Olympics We're all about Toyota's crazy concept cars, and this one is no exception. In honor of the ongoing Olympics, Toyota created a baseball-themed EV that's best suited for transporting visitors and staff around a large venue (i.e. not on the open road). It's an open concept vehicle that's low-speed and short-distance, and it has astroturf carpet and a rear seat that is shaped like a catcher's mitt. Weird, but we like it, we can't lie. Toyota Land Cruiser 40 parts coming back into production Classic car fans, rejoice - Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series parts are coming back into production, including engines. These parts were discontinued back in 1984 which can make finding them a bit of a hassle, but not anymore. Toyota conducted surveys on a worldwide basis to see what their customers were into and which parts they may need; this also coincided with the Land Cruiser's 70th birthday this year. Starting early next year, it'll be a whole lot easier to get your hands on engines, exhaust systems, and drivelines, so start clearing out the garage now.

So you got into a car accident. Stressful, right? That's putting it lightly. Even if you're not injured and all of your passengers are OK, you still have to deal with the fact that your car is not. And usually, you have to go through an insurance company to get it fixed (remember, it's illegal to drive without car insurance in the state of Florida). Our Orlando Toyota body shop is here to walk you through the process so you can get your ride fixed and get back on the road after a car accident. Steps to take after a car accident to get your car fixed Step #1: Make sure you have all the info you need. Before you file a claim with car insurance, you need to make sure you have all the info about what happened during the car accident. This means getting everyone's name, contact information, vehicle information (make, model, plate number, car color), and insurance information. You'll also want to get a copy of the accident report and if necessary, the full traffic crash report from the agency that responded. Step #2: File a claim with insurance. Next, you'll file a claim with insurance. You'll need to figure out which company to file with - basically if the car accident was your fault, you file with your insurance. If it was the other driver's fault, you'll file with their insurance. Remember, there is a time limit on how long you can take to file a claim so get the ball rolling as soon as you possibly can. Step #3: Choose a repair shop. Choose a repair shop that you can trust - you'll want to ensure that they'll work with your insurance company, will use the right parts (for example, if you drive a Toyota car you only want Toyota parts used in it for the best outcome), and will do the repairs in a timely manner. Bonus points if they can help facilitate your rental car. (Toyota of Orlando can do all of the above, PS.) Step #4:Make sure you ask about your deductible and rental car coverage. Before you set everything up, ask your insurance company about your deductible and if you have rental car coverage. You'll want to know up front how much of your deductible you have to pay so you're prepared for the bill, and you also need to figure out a rental car and whether or not your policy includes coverage. If it does, the car insurance company will need to set things up with the car rental company so be sure to sort that out BEFORE you drop your car off for repairs. Step #5: Get an estimate conducted. Your insurance company (or the other driver's) will want to conduct an inspection of your car so they can prepare an estimate of how much the repairs will cost. You can't get repairs started without the estimate, so be sure to work with your insurance company to schedule it. Step #6: Commence with repairs. Now it's time to get repairs started! Make sure you schedule your rental car pickup in accordance with your repairs appointment. When you drop your car off, ensure that your body shop has your insurance company's information and ask them how long they think it will take for repairs. Stay in contact with them - some rental car agreements have limits.

Everyone - well, at least it seems like everyone - has been buzzing about the impending unveiling of the new 2022 Toyota Tundra. It's headed our way this fall and its details have been shrouded in secrecy except for a few teaser photos and some sprinklings of details here and there. But good news - more details have just been released from Toyota, as well as new photos of the interior. Toyota of Orlando is here with the info! A new trio of photos was released, showcasing the plush interior of the soon-to-be Orlando Toyota truck. In addition to the awesome rear power window that was unveiled a few weeks ago, the new 2022 Toyota Tundra will also showcase a red fabric/perforated leather interior option, similar to the current TRD Camry's interior. (We're living for this.) There will also be TRD badging on the interior of that model, including on the seats. This new Orlando Toyota truck will also offer drivers top tech, which we expected; one of the teaser photos revealed wireless charging for devices, so we expect that the rest of the cabin's tech will follow suit. Additionally - and this is the part the 2022 Toyota Tundra enthusiasts are really pumped about - the photos showcased a knob for drive modes. From what we can see in the photo, you'll have access to Downhill Assist Control, CRAWL Control, Multi-terrain Select, and Tow/Haul modes. Basically, it'll be ready for any type of terrain you want to throw its way. That's all that was unveiled in this set of teaser photos and we don't know when full details will be released. However, here's what we DO know so far: There will likely be a hybrid version available for drivers who want more eco-friendliness and fuel efficiency; also, the V8 is a thing of the past. Some version of a turbocharged V6 iForce Max engine will likely be under the hood (especially as it's becoming a popular option in the Lexus lineup). V6 engine means better fuel efficiency and possibly even more power than its V8 predecessor. We're thinking that a new designed means a new chassis; likely body-on-frame construction with high-strength steel. This will help to lower the overall weight of the truck. It's also expected that it'll be on the new TNGA platform, and will feature a 10-speed automatic transmission. Technology will be tops - we know that wireless charging will be an option, and photos have revealed a huge tablet-like touchscreen interface for all of your audio and entertainment technology. We're also guessing that safety tech will be the best of the best (it is Toyota, after all). The exterior has been completely redesigned - you won't even recognize it from the spy shots. We don't know when the 2022 Toyota Tundra will be arriving at Toyota of Orlando, but we can keep you posted! Follow us on social media for updates or call for info. We're open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500.

There's been a lot of hype surrounding the new 2021 Ford Bronco (and we get it - we're a Toyota dealer, but it's a nice-looking ride). However, when you get past the hype, how does it compare to much-loved fan favorites like the 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro? Toyota of Orlando is here to break it down so you can decide which is the better option for you to send out summer from off the pavement. The 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro The 2021 Toyota 4Runner is practically a cult classic at this point - it has quite a following, especially amongst off-road enthusiasts. Let's start with the basics: The starting MSRP of this off-road-ready truck-based SUV is around $51,290. However, that price tag includes all of the performance features you need to tackle some seriously tough terrain, plus top technology and a sleek but durable interior. The Toyota 4Runner has body-on-frame construction, which means it handles more like a truck than a car (which many drivers prefer, especially when taking things off the pavement). It has a 4.0L V6 engine under the hood that provides 270 horsepower. This Orlando Toyota SUV also has a narrow body, almost 10" of ground clearance, and dedicated off-road suspension. The Orlando Toyota 4Runner is slightly bigger than the 2021 Ford Bronco - it has a longer wheelbase and overall The 2021 Ford Bronco Now let's talk about the competition. The Ford Bronco is a new introduction to the market; it was retired for some time and then redesigned and reintroduced this year. Here are the basics about this new SUV: It has a starting MSRP of $29,995. However, that's just the base model. If you want to add in all of the performance features, style specifics, and technology, it's going to be quite a bit pricier than that. Two engines are available - a 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder with 275 horsepower or a 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 with 310 horsepower. This new Ford SUV also drives like a truck, although it lacks a certain level of refinement on paved roads as its forte is really on off-road terrain. So, which is these new SUVs is right for you? Let's talk about similarities now. Both of these SUVs are off-road ready and get similar fuel efficiency; they also both seat 5 and have pretty similar width and height. They're both also decked out for off-road terrain and can handle pretty much anything that Mother Nature throws at them. One solid advantage, however, that Toyota has is its brand quality. Toyotas have incredible resale value and reliability that are renowned on a global level and far surpass Ford. If you want a vehicle that you can depend on for years (decades, even!) to come or a ride that you can sell for the most bang for your buck down the road, you know where to find us. Shop for the new 2021 Toyota 4Runner in person - you can get your hands on it at Toyota of Orlando! We're located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road and we're open seven days a week. Call us at (407) 298-4500 to get things started!

After all, our vehicles are full of new entertainment, connectivity, and safety technology and continue to add new features with each and every passing model year. But vehicle features aren't the only place you can access cool technology to make your drive time easy - Toyota has a series of new apps that are designed to keep you connected to your new car and bring simplicity and efficiency to your driving experience overall. Check out our quick guide to each. Three new Toyota apps you're going to want to download Toyota Service Connect It's critical for performance and resale value that you keep up with car care, but we know it can easily slip your mind with everything else you have going on in your busy life. Toyota Service Connect (part of the Toyota app) makes it easy - it can send reminders to you about the health of your car overall, when you're due to visit Toyota of Orlando for car maintenance, and what an illuminated light in the dashboard means. Even better, it can also send alerts about your new car to us so we can remind you when you're due for service or if you have an issue. Toyota Remote Connect Remote Connect takes things to a whole new level in terms of convenience. When logged into the app, you can lock and unlock your new car, start it up (hello, A/C), assign guest drivers and limit their mileage and speed, find your vehicle via GPS, and get vehicle status alerts for your fuel level. Plus, if you have a plug-in hybrid or Toyota Mirai, you can use Toyota Remote Connect to find charging stations or hydrogen fuel stations, manage your car's charge, and control climate settings. Joya Virtual Driving Companion We all know how important it is to stay off of our phones and keep our hands on the wheel when we're driving. Voice control makes that a whole lot simpler, and we're excited to announce that it's coming to the new Toyota Sienna. Joya is a virtual assistant, and it acts as a digital tool to keep you connected to anything and everything you want to know about the new Toyota Sienna (think of it as a new car owner's manual in AI form). Joya can be accessed in the Toyota app and is powered by Google AI.
