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.

Last updated on July 10, 2026 The Toyota Tacoma has been a mainstay in the Toyota lineup for a long time. It’s a legend among outdoorsmen, campers, off-roaders, and overlanders. This is due to its reliability and strong resale value, as well as its customization potential and off-road prowess. Whether you’re navigating city streets, exploring remote trails, or taking a cross-country road trip, the Tacoma has got you covered. This is why Toyota created one of the most memorable concepts ever at the 2021 SEMA show: the Tacozilla Toyota camper. It’s been years since its big debut, but its popularity hasn’t faded. And even though it was never put into production, it still serves as major inspiration for Tacoma owners who want the ultimate overland rig setup. Our Toyota of Orlando team is here to explain… let’s get into it! Executive Summary The Tacozilla Toyota camper is a custom Toyota camper concept built on a Toyota Tacoma platform. Toyota unveiled the concept at the 2021 SEMA Show as a tribute to classic Toyota-Chinook campers from the 1970s. The camper includes living quarters, a kitchenette, sleeping space, a bathroom, and serious off-road capability. Although Toyota has not announced production plans, the concept helped fuel growing interest in Tacoma overlanding and camper builds. The modern Tacoma lineup continues to be one of the most popular foundations for custom Toyota camper conversions. The Tacozilla Toyota Camper: A Dream Build for Adventurers When Toyota first unveiled the Tacozilla Toyota camper, off-roaders immediately took notice. The concept perfectly blended off-roading and camping, and paired that mix with a sporty Tacoma platform. It was a simple but smart idea: mix the rugged capability of an Orlando Toyota Tacoma with the comforts of a compact motorhome. The end result? A Toyota camper that could overland, off-road, and tackle tough terrain while still offering a comfy place to sleep, relax, and even cook dinner. This Toyota camper was developed by the Toyota Motorsports Garage team in Texas, and they used a Tacoma TRD Sport as the base. They also made it a point to pay homage to the classic Toyota-Chinook campers that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s (while throwing in modern engineering and off-road features). And to this day, the Tacozilla Toyota camper is still one of the most-searched Toyota concepts ever. What Made Tacozilla Toyota Camper So Popular? When you first look at the Tacozilla, it looks like something out of a retro magazine. This Toyota camper has vintage-inspired graphics, a white exterior, and a white camper shell. However, you’re getting vintage vibes with a modern Tacoma platform. Here are some of the features we love most at Toyota of Orlando: A custom-built camper body integrated into the Tacoma chassis Raised roof design for standing room inside Dining area and seating space Kitchenette with cooking capabilities Functional bathroom with toilet and running water Sleeping quarters large enough for two adults Rear access door Lifted suspension setup All-terrain tires designed for off-road travel Short rear overhang for improved approach and departure angles Retro-inspired exterior graphics The design team’s goal was to make a camper that could be comfortable but still take on tough terrain. This combo was supposed to be the perfect balance of adventure and convenience, and we think they nailed it. Toyota's Camping Heritage We think one of the reasons people loved the Tacozilla Toyota camper so much was because it wasn’t an altogether new idea. Toyota actually has a solid history with campers. Here are the highlights: In the 1970s and 1980s, companies like Chinook built camper conversions and used Toyota pickup trucks as their bases. These Toyota campers were small, fuel-efficient, and easier to drive than bigger RVs. A lot of these vintage Toyota campers are still out on the road today and are considered major collectibles. Many of those vintage Toyota campers remain on the road today, and some have even developed cult followings among collectors.The new Tacozilla pays homage to them, but mixes in advanced off-road tech and modern performance features. Why Do Tacoma Owners Love Camper Builds? Toyota has never committed to actually produce the Tacozilla for general sale, but it definitely encouraged a comeback in terms of adventure rigs. The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most modified vehicles in the automotive market, and camper conversions are some of the most popular upgrades. But what makes this Orlando Toyota truck so popular for camper conversions? Durability Toyota Tacomas are renowned for their durability and long life. It’s super common to see models with hundreds of thousands of miles on them still running strong. This makes them perfect for long-distance road trips and remote exploration. Off-Road Capability There are so many new off-road features up for grabs. At Toyota of Orlando, our Tacomas are decked out with features like Multi-Terrain Select, CRAWL Control, locking rear differentials, skid plates, and off-road suspension systems. This makes them perfect for tackling tough terrain. Strong Aftermarket Support If you buy an Orlando Toyota Tacoma, you’ve got access to one of the biggest aftermarket communities in the auto world. You can opt for aftermarket parts and accessories like roof-top tents, bed racks, suspension upgrades, camper shells, and more. Manageable Size Tacomas are capable, but they’re still easy to maneuver due to their more compact size. This is perfect for off-roaders who want versatility and comfort without a massive truck. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> How Has the Tacoma Has Evolved Since the Tacozilla? If you remember, the Tacozilla Toyota camper debuted at SEMA in 2021. So what’s changed since then? Well, for starters, the Orlando Toyota Tacoma was completely redesigned. It has a new look, new technology, new performance, and better off-roading capabilities. Here are some of the features we love most: Advanced multimedia technology Digital gauge displays Improved towing capabilities New powertrain options including a hybrid powertrain Advanced safety features through Toyota Safety Sense Enhanced off-road trims like the TRD Pro and Trailhunter We particularly love the new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter. This truck has become a favorite with off-roaders and overlanders because its features are focused on performance, and it’s designed specifically for extended off-roading. Will Toyota Ever Build a Production Toyota Camper? So will there ever be another Toyota camper? A lot of people ask, and the answer is still no (at least for now). Toyota has no plans to actually mass produce the Tacozilla, much to our disappointment. However, here’s the good news - the current Orlando Toyota Tacoma is perfectly capable of being modified for overlanding and off-roading. Explore parts and accessories like: Camper shells Roof-top tents Slide-in campers Drawer storage systems Portable kitchens Solar power systems Auxiliary batteries Water storage tanks Depending on your budget and goals, you can build anything from a simple weekend adventure rig to a fully equipped overlanding vehicle. The Toyota Tacoma is versatile enough for it, so all you need is your imagination. Test Drive the Toyota Tacoma at Toyota of Orlando Want to start exploring our current lineup of Toyota Tacoma for sale? Visit us at Toyota of Orlando! We’re open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road just off I-4 near the Mall at Millenia. FAQs About the Tacozilla and Toyota Campers Is the Tacozilla available for purchase? Nope (sadly). The Tacozilla was created as a concept vehicle for the 2021 SEMA Show and was never released as a production model. What truck was the Tacozilla built on? The Tacozilla was built using a Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport platform and featured extensive custom modifications to create a fully functional Toyota camper. Can you turn a Toyota Tacoma into a camper? Absolutely. Many Tacoma owners install camper shells, roof-top tents, slide-in campers, or custom overlanding equipment to create their own Toyota camper setup tailored to their travel needs.

The 2021 Toyota Mirai is a pretty insanely cool car. It's. hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, which means it runs on hydrogen - not gasoline - and emits nothing but water vapor when it's out and about on the roads. It's extremely efficient, eco-friendly, and also teched out with the latest and greatest features for convenience, entertainment, and safety. However, it's adding one more accolade to its list - it just broke a Guinness World Record. New Toyota Mirai drives 845 miles on one fuel-up Yup, you heard us right - the new Toyota Mirai broke a Guinness World Record by traveling 845 miles on a single hydrogen fill. Our Orlando Toyota dealership has all the info! To fill the Toyota Mirai with hydrogen, it takes about five minutes. So basically, this car drove almost 1,000 miles after a five minute fuel-up. Behind the wheel were professional drivers Wayne Gerdes and Bob Winger; they left the Toyota Technical Center in Gardena, California (this is where the fuel cell development group is housed). From there, they took two days to put in the 845 miles. They traveled south to San Ysidro and then up to Santa Barbara via the Pacific Coast Highway. Throw in some local driving loops and rush hour traffic on the San Diego freeway between LA and Orange County, and you've got your 845 miles. The record is legit, too - Guinness World Records monitored the whole thing very closely to ensure it happened the way it was supposed to. Michael Empiric, a Guinness employee, validated the process by putting a seal on the Toyota Mirai's tank once it had been filled. If the seal was broken at any point, that means fuel was added and the record was not validated. The seal was intact when the 845-mile marker was hit, meaning this is one for the books (literally). “The Toyota Mirai’s journey without the need to refuel showcases the power of fuel cell electric technology. This technology and the design ingenuity by the team at Toyota led to a history-making moment," said Empiric. But record-setting distance capability isn't all that the new Toyota Mirai has to offer. Here are some of the highlights of this unique alternative fuel Toyota: This teched-out new Toyota offers a 12.3" infotainment screen and features like dynamic navigation, Bluetooth wireless streaming, a color head-up display, AppleCar Play and Android Auto, and an optional JBL sound system. Performance features like rear-wheel drive, a 402 mile range, and three drive modes (ECO, Normal, and Sport) allow you to customize your drive time to your individual needs. A sleek, sedan-like exterior and a luxurious interior with features like a panoramic moonroof, satin-silver or copper-colored accents, and heated and ventilated seats ensure a comfortable drive no matter where the road takes you. See all of our alternative fuel options at Toyota of Orlando We don't offer the Toyota Mirai at Toyota of Orlando - believe it or not, it's only for sale in the states of California and Hawaii right now due to infrastructure. But we've got plenty of other alternative fuel cars waiting for you - explore all of our options today!

Happy spooky season from our Orlando Toyota family to you! October is officially here, and we're back with another round of Toyota news updates to keep you in the loop of everything automotive (at least in our corner of the world). Check out updates ranging from speculation about the 2023 Toyota Sequoia to your chance to win an all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra. Let's get started! What's new in Toyota news this week? TOM'S pays tribute to Paul Walker with three new Toyota Supras Even if you're not a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise, you still probably know about Paul Walker's tragic story. TOM'S is paying tribute to him in the form of a kitted-out Toyota Supra (the car that his character drove in the movies). Walker owned a Toyota A80 Supra in real life, so TOM'S took an A90 model (three of them, actually) and applied mods that Walker's Supra showcased. These include a special body kit, a tall rear spoiler, BBS LM wheels, a leather interior, carbon fiber accents, and a "TOM'S power box" under the hood that boosts the horsepower from 382hp to 420hp. The best news? They'll all be for sale... in Japan. Time to buy a plane ticket! (Or if you need a Toyota Supra fix stateside, visit us at Toyota of Orlando.) What will the next generation of the 2023 Toyota Sequoia offer? As of now, we know that the 2022 Toyota Sequoia won't be that different from previous iterations of this generation. Rumor has it, though, that 2023 will be bringing major changes to the table. Nothing has been confirmed, but it's being speculated that it'll receive the same twin-turbo V6 engine AND hybrid option as the 2022 Toyota Tundra. We're also thinking the design will get a major overhaul, similar to the new Toyota Tundra. Follow us on social media for updates and we'll keep you posted as details are released! You could win a 2022 Toyota Tundra Want to get your hands on a new Toyota Tundra but don't feel like paying for it? You're in luck - Toyota and NASCAR are teaming up to give away a 2022 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax with TRD Off-Road Package. All you have to do to win is enter online daily during the NASCAR Playoffs and even into the off-season. Good luck! (And if you don't win, you can always just buy one at Toyota of Orlando later this year.) Toyota Plug-in Hybrids are on the rise Hybrids and electric options - alternative fuel cars in general, actually - are becoming more and more popular options. Not only do they offer a much cleaner performance, but they also give you hugely improved fuel efficiency and help you save money. We're not the only ones that think so, either - Toyota plug-in hybrid sales (like the Toyota Prius Prime and RAV4 Prime) are on the rise, big time. They've tripled in the third quarter of 2021, meaning more and more drivers are going green when they hit the road. If you're ready to make the change, come see all of our new Toyota hybrids at Toyota of Orlando! Follow Toyota of Orlando on social media for the latest Toyota news Want more Toyota news updates?

Toyota drops 500lb engine into the bed of a Tundra We all know that the iconic Orlando Toyota Tundra is about as tough as it gets.

You'll be able to see it in person by the end of the year at Toyota of Orlando. Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner to share Hilux global platform? We love rumors, especially rumors about our cars. Tea time!

It's finally official - after months of teasers and close-up pictures that didn't give that much away, the 2022 Toyota Tundra has finally been unveiled in all its glory. Our Orlando Toyota dealership has the full scoop on what you can expect when you test drive it at our dealership! What's new on this redesigned Orlando Toyota truck? The new 2022 Toyota Tundra takes performance in a whole new direction, enhancing both power and efficiency simultaneously. Here are some of the highlights: Two powertrain options: A twin-turbo 3.5L V6 i-Force engine that offers 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, as well as an even more powerful twin-turbo hybrid i-Force Max engine that provides 437 horsepower and an incredible 583 lb-ft of torque. Both will be paired with an automatic 10-speed transmission. The hybrid engine will offer an EV mode for city driving as well as additional horsepower and torque, so whether you need efficiency or power, you're covered. A towing capacity of up to 12,000 lbs (an increase of around 2,000 lbs from prior models) and a payload max of 1,900 lbs An all-new chassis with a fully boxed wider rear frame for better stability, towing capacity, passenger comfort, and enhanced rigidity. Additionally, the chassis is designed with high-strength steel and aluminum alike to improve performance but also bring down overall weight. A new Sheet Mold Composite bed with reinforcing aluminum cross members to help ward off dents and dings as well as reduce overall weight. Plus, your key fob will now have a cool tailgate release function! New multi-link suspension with coil springs instead of leaf springs with shock absorbers strategically placed to improve damping and towing. There's also a new air suspension system for the rear of the truck on certain models, offering drivers automatic and manual leveling functions and different height modes. Additionally, Adaptive Variable Suspension will be available on the Orlando Toyota Tundra for the first time ever. Off-roading features will also still be available, including Multi-Terrain Select, CRAWL Control, Downhill Assist Control, and more. A new Toyota Audio Multimedia System that boasts features like an available 14" touchscreen with improved screen resolution and touch functionality, a virtual assistant, a cloud-based native navigation system, and a user profile system so you can customize your settings and save them as such. And... have you seen it? This new Toyota truck is back and better than ever with a complete redesign inside and out. We can't get enough of the muscular new look and the sleek, comfortable interior decked out in all-new colors. Test drive the 2022 Toyota Tundra at Toyota of Orlando! Want more info?
