The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is coming - its official unveiling will take place on May 19 (at 1:30 am, if you're a night owl). There's been a ton of speculation surrounding this new Toyota truck because it's FINALLY getting a redesign. Toyota hasn't unleashed all the details just yet, but we have gotten our hands on a few. Here's everything we know so far about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma! What's been released about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma so far It's getting a full redesign. And it's well-deserved - the last time the Orlando Toyota Tacoma was redesigned was way back in 2015. The fourth generation makes its big debut on May 19 and should be in a dealership near you later this year or early next year. We don't have an official release date yet. Looking at the teaser photos Toyota has provided, it seems like the 2024 Toyota Tacoma will take stylistic cues from the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia. Both of these new trucks were redesigned for a more angular and modern look on the exterior, and we think the new Tacoma will follow suit. It's going to have an i-Force Max option. This popular hybrid system is found in both the new Toyota Tundra and Sequoia, and offers increased horsepower and performance while improving fuel efficiency at the same time. We're also thinking a new engine is in the works for the gas models - the Tundra and Sequoia both got turbocharged engines with their redesign, and we think the new Tacoma will follow suit. There are going to be multiple cab + bed options. Toyota released a series of silhouette teaser photos indicating that there will likely be both crew and extended cabs, as well as a long bed option for this Orlando Toyota. It's getting a new body-on-frame platform - the TNGA-F platform that's newly designed by Toyota. This means better off-road performance and handling, as well as more capable towing and a cheaper manufacturing process (which rolls into a lower price for consumers). You'll have a six-speed manual transmission option still, so you can stop worrying about it. (A lot of Taco enthusiasts were terrified that a new generation would include Toyota dropping the manual option). Toyota released teaser photos of the gas, brake, and clutch pedals a few weeks ago. A new Trailhunter special edition model is getting added to the lineup. We're expecting it to be perfect for off-roading and overlapping. From the teaser shots, it looks like there are ARB add-ons and tow hooks... and that's just what we see in a quarter shot. It looks like the audio system will get a major upgrade. We're expecting a bigger touchscreen (the current one is 8") and the new wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Toyota Connected Services to be woven into the mix. Additionally, a JBL option is likely to be up for grabs - Toyota put out a teaser that the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma will have the option of a JBL Flex speaker that can be removed from the truck and used as a portable speaker on the go. Get updates on this redesigned Orlando Toyota truck This is what we know so far... and we can't wait for May 19th to arrive.

You've heard of the Million Mile Tundra... but have you heard about the Million Mile Tundra? This 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid belonged to Mark Miller of Bonita Springs, Florida and last year, it celebrated its million-mile mark. Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here with the details! How did this Toyota Hybrid make it to a million miles? Mark Miller used his 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid primarily for work, driving across Alligator Alley (a stretch of I-75 in the Florida Everglades) routinely enough to rack up over a million miles. He described his SUV as a "workhorse" - he used it to tow trailers for his asphalt paving business, as well as a mobile office for work on the go. According to Miller, he's taken around 8,000 trips across I-75 in his Toyota. His secret to getting it to a million miles? Routine maintenance and a reliable mechanic - and routine oil changes. No joke. The million-mile Toyota Highlander would have probably kept right on going, but fate intervened in the form of Hurricane Ian. In 2022, Hurricane Ian roared onshore in South Florida, leaving a wake of destruction. Miller's home in Bonita Springs was the victim of a massive amount of storm surge, and his Toyota Highlander was destroyed in the flood. But here's the good news - Toyota stepped in. Miller had plans to get another Toyota Highlander Hybrid as he missed his old car and its comfortable reliability. Toyota took it upon themselves to thank him for his loyalty and gifted Miller a new 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition so he could get back on the road. The 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition We're not surprised Miller was so thrilled by his new Toyota - after all, the 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a fan favorite. Here are some of the features we love about it: 35 mpg fuel efficiency A height-adjustable hands-free power liftgate LED headlights, taillights, and Daytime Running Lights 18-in. bronze-finish alloy wheels SofTex-trimmed seating for seven with second-row captain's chairs Qi wireless charging for devices Three-zone automatic climate control Connected services including Remote Connect, Service Connect, Drive Connect, Safety Connect, and Wi-Fi Connect Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 A backup camera with a projected path A Blind-Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Drive Mode Select with Sport, Eco, Normal, and EV modes Not to mention a unique appearance. Miller's 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid comes in a Cement paint color (fitting for someone who owns an asphalt business) and has unique bronze wheels and accents that make it stand out on the road. Get your hands on your own million mile Toyota today No matter which new Toyota you decide upon, you know you can rely on it if the million-mile Tundra and Highlander are any indications of longevity. (And that's why we're always pushing you to get routine auto service like oil changes, too.) Think you're ready to take the plunge? Call Toyota of Orlando today. We're open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500 and we're conveniently located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road.

If you've been paying attention at all, you know by now that an all-new Toyota full electric vehicle is finally up for grabs at a dealership near you: the 2023 Toyota bZ4X. However, our Orlando Toyota dealership has even more news to share in the world of Toyota electric vehicles - here's what's been going on in this sphere as of late. What's new in the world of Toyota electric vehicles? Toyota and Lexus are developing an all-new EV-only platform. It's officially been announced that Toyota and Lexus are back at work creating an all-new platform... but this one will be solely for Toyota electric vehicles. As of right now, Toyota EVs sit on the e-TNGA platform, which is a slightly modified version of the acclaimed and existing TNGA platform. However, with this particular platform, Toyota is having a hard time matching or exceeding the efficiency of cars like Tesla. The platform also limits the size of the battery pack, which means a shorter range. A new platform means an extended range and the ability to create new prototypes of cars. It looks like this new platform will be officially in production by 2026, so we'll keep you updated. Toyota is rethinking its long-term EV strategy. In other Toyota news, Akio Toyoda - the CEO of Toyota - stepped down from his post in January. His replacement, Koji Sato, is a big fan of EVs and is making the push for Toyota to integrate more of them into their normal lineup. Supposedly, Toyota recently disassembled a Tesla Y model to get a better idea of the types of manufacturing techniques that the EV giant is using inside of their vehicles. (It's a pretty common practice among automakers.) What they found may affect their design of the aforementioned new platform for Toyota full electric vehicles, and could lead to many more EV additions to the lineup. A new bZ3 has been introduced in China. We've talked before about different bZ models and how Toyota's ultimate goal is to create a bZ - Beyond Zero - umbrella with a variety of Toyota full electric vehicles under it. All we have in the US right now is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X and a new bZ SUV concept that was recently unveiled. In China, however, a new bZ3 model was recently introduced to the market. The sedan is a collaboration between Toyota and BYD (a global EV company) and it's the second official model in the bZ lineup. The bZ3 EV is built on the e-TNGA platform but uses a lithium-ion battery, motor, and electric control system all designed and manufactured by BYD, which means a range of around 372 miles. This Toyota electric vehicle has a starting MSRP of around $27,700 USD. We don't know that we'll see it at Toyota of Orlando anytime soon, but we do know the bZ lineup will continue to expand and provide our customers with more Toyota full electric vehicle options. Toyota of Orlando has all the EV info you need Have questions about Toyota electric vehicles or want to see the 2023 Toyota bZ4X yourself? Call us today - Toyota of Orlando is open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500. You can also stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Here's what you can expect! What's with this new Toyota/Nintendo collaboration? When you think of the 2024 Toyota Highlander, you probably think of a spacious, road-trip-ready Toyota.

While we won't see the actual concept car on our lot at Toyota of Orlando anytime soon (if ever), Toyota IS giving away a Nintendo prize pack to 500 Grand Highlander customers when this new Toyota SUV hits dealerships in 2023 or 2024. Here's the scoop: 500 lucky winners will receive a Nintendo Switch OLED Model System with a vibrant 7" screen for better gaming and detachable joy-con controllers so players can game anywhere They'll also receive a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game, a paid Nintendo Switch online membership, and an expansion pack membership So not only will they be able to take home this incredible all-new Toyota Grand Highlander, but also a great way to keep the kids (or adults) occupied in the backseat. The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is coming to Toyota of Orlando So, what will the non-Nintendo version of the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander have to offer when it arrives at our dealership later this year or early next year? Here's what you can expect from this new Orlando Toyota: A much larger interior - the third row will be large enough to seat three adults comfortably, and there will still be a spacious cargo area behind it. Overall, you can seat 8 adults without issue in the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Three engine options - a 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder, a 2.5L hybrid that gets 34 mpg combined, and a hybrid MAX powertrain that gets 362 horsepower.

You can rest easy with safety features like Safety Connect, Service Connect, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking. And it LOOKS amazing. The 2023 Toyota Highlander is already sleek and stylish, but the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander manages to go bigger without losing any of that. It has a sleek interior decked out with SofTex, Leather-trimmed, or Ultrasuede and leather seats with premium stitching and an exterior that's sporty and modern.

If you're looking for a new car that has all-wheel drive but you also feel unsure as to whether or not you can afford one, our Orlando Toyota dealership has good news - the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross and Toyota Corolla Hybrid have both officially made Autotrader's list of the most affordable new cars with all-wheel drive. They took spots #8 and #9, respectively, and we're here to tell you why these new Toyotas should be your top picks when you're looking for an affordable new car with all-wheel drive. Why did these Orlando Toyotas make the list? AutoTrader lists are notorious for their helpfulness in wading through an endless sea of makes and models. Sometimes your new car choices can be overwhelming, and these lists can help you narrow things down based on the characteristics you want your car to have. This particular list details the most affordable new cars on the market that also offer you the all-wheel drive feature - all cars on the list are under $25,000, making them extremely viable options for drivers on a budget. As noted, the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross and Toyota Corolla Hybrid are both on the list. Both of these sporty new Toyotas are at Toyota of Orlando if you want to test them out, and here are a few things to keep in mind when you do: The Orlando Toyota Corolla is one of the most popular sedans out there. It's efficient, super affordable, and stylish with incredible tech features woven into the cabin. Additionally, it's now available in multiple hybrid models that get 47/41 mpg. Plus, more than 80% of all Toyota Corolla models sold in the past 20 years are still out on the roads. The Toyota Corolla Cross, on the other hand, is a sporty crossover that's larger than its sedan sibling but still offers amazing fuel efficiency (31/33) and affordability. It comes in three grades and offers seating for five plus a spacious rear cargo area for gear. It's new to the lineup, but has quickly claimed a spot as one of the fan favorites. What is all-wheel drive and why does it matter? Now let's talk more about all-wheel drive. If you're still not totally clear about what this feature is (but still think you might need it on your next Orlando Toyota), here's a quick explanation: all-wheel drive is when your vehicle has the ability to send torque to all four wheels simultaneously, making all of them spin at once. It's different than your typical front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive vehicle where only two wheels are powering the car at once. All-wheel drive is a great safety feature to have on your vehicle because by letting all four wheels spin, you're gaining better traction. And better traction means your car will grip the road better when it's slippery, like in snow, rain, or ice. This reduces your chances of getting into an accident in bad weather conditions and thus, keeps you and your passengers safer. Here are a few other Orlando Toyotas with all-wheel drive to consider if the Toyota Corolla or Corolla Cross won't work for you: Toyota Highlander Toyota Sienna Toyota RAV4 Toyota Prius Toyota Camry Have more questions about all-wheel drive and what it can do for your drive time, or looking for a new Toyota with this great feature? Call Toyota of Orlando today at (407) 298-4500. You can also stop by in person at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

The all-new 2023 Toyota Prius has been revealed, and it's rocking a sleek redesigned style with enhanced performance AND fuel efficiency. Even further, the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime was also redesigned and for its new model year is showcasing not just an all-new exterior, but also a cleaner performance and incredible new technology. Toyota of Orlando is here with details on both so you can decide which to put in your driveway when they arrive! The 2023 Toyota Prius: What's changed? Let's start with the frontrunner of hybrid cars: The Orlando Toyota Prius. The 2023 model is redesigned on the exterior, for starters. It has a sleeker and more streamlined silhouette to boast, as well as a lower roofline (by 2"), a wider rear (by 1"), and larger wheels on the XLE and Limited models. Here are a few other  details we think you'll love: A lower center of gravity thanks to a new battery placement Second-generation TNGA-C platform for reduced weight and increased rigidity More cargo space The 5th generation hybrid powertrain with a larger 2.0L engine and a newly developed lithium-ion battery (which results in a 15% increase in output) An electronic on-demand AWD system for better handling on slippery surfaces 194 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 7.2 seconds on the FWD models and 7.0 seconds on the AWD model LE, XLE, or Limited grades to choose from Paint colors like Reservoir Blue, Guardian Gray, Cutting Edge, Supersonic Red, Black, or Wind Chill Pearl A 12.3" audio multimedia system  with over-the-air updates, as well as features like Connected Service Service Drive Connect, Intelligent Assistant, Destination Assist with Points of Interest, Cloud-based Navigation, and more Wifi Connect, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and HD Radio Enhanced fuel efficiency - this new Toyota hybrid now gets 57 mpg combined, which makes it the most fuel-efficient Toyota Prius ever How about the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime? The Orlando Toyota Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid, which sets it apart from its regular hybrid sibling. On this Toyota, you can plug it in to charge it and run on electric power alone OR fall back on hybrid power, which uses both electric and gasoline power. Here's what's new on the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime: A larger lithium-ion battery that increases the EV (electric vehicle) range by 50% A redesigned exterior that's sleeker and more aerodynamic than ever before The new TNGA-C platform for a lower center of gravity, lighter curb weight, and more rigidity (all of which amount to much-improved handling) A wider stance and lower driving position for the driver An all-new solar roof - this one is awesome. It's an onboard charging system that uses roof-mounted panels to recharge the battery when the car is in park. The solar roof can deliver supplementary power to accessory functions (like A/C), and is concealed so you don't even see them on the roof of the car. 220 horsepower thanks to a new 2.0L engine coupled with the 5th generation hybrid powertrain (this is a 100 horsepower increase so we're impressed) 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds SE, XSE, and XSE Premium grades The same incredible technology updates as the 2023 Toyota Prius The option of a JBL Premium Audio System with eight speakers Advanced Park, which allows you to hands-free parallel park or back into a parking spot Which one will you put in the driveway?
