Every single time you get behind the wheel of a car, it's your responsibility to ensure that you put your best safe driving habits to good use. One concept in safe driving that comes up a lot - and is actually responsible for quite a few car accidents - is that of blind spots. Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to explain what they are and how to work around them to keep you safe when you're out on the road. What is a blind spot? A blind spot is basically a spot or area around your vehicle that you cannot see when using your mirrors or cameras. To be able to see this area on the road, you have to physically turn your head and look to check that it's clear. Almost all vehicles have a blind spot regardless of their design, usually because of the A-pillar on the windshield and other pillars throughout the car, headrests, cargo in the vehicle, and even your rearview mirror. This means every driver needs to know where their car's blind spots are and how to check them. Why? Because when it boils down to it, they're dangerous. They obstruct your view of the road and could lead to you assuming that the path is clear, resulting in a car accident. A common blind spot accident that we see at our Toyota of Orlando body shop is when a driver assumes that the lane next to them is clear and changes lanes without checking, running into a car that was obscured by the blind spot. How to check your blind spot How do you check it? Basically, you just turn your head to look over your shoulder (or wherever the spot is). However, it's important to do this quickly and seamlessly so you're not taking your eyes off the road for too long. Plus, there are ways to minimize your blind spots and make the process of checking them easy. Here are a few Orlando Toyota tips: Always pack your car carefully. Never stack your cargo to block your view out of the back or side windows; make sure you always have a clear field of vision. Make sure your mirrors are adjusted properly. For your rearview mirror, you want to ensure you can see clearly out of the back of your vehicle. For your side mirrors, you want them aimed straight and tilted inward slightly so you can see just a little bit of the side of your vehicle. Remember, if you adjust your seat, you'll need to readjust your mirrors. Use your blind spot monitor. Many of our new Orlando Toyotas have blind spot monitor technology built into them that will flash a light in your side mirror AND alert you with noise when there's a car or other object in your blind spot, reminding you to turn and check before you make a move. If you don't have a blind spot monitor, look into add-ons like blind spot mirrors. These small, round mirrors stick onto your existing side mirrors to give you a wider field of vision and make it easy to check the spot. Have questions or want to check out blind spot monitor tech in person? Or maybe you need a little help after a car accident. Let Toyota of Orlando help - we're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. Call us now at (407) 298-4500!

The all-new (and much-hyped) 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is coming to Toyota of Orlando, and people. Are. Ready. It'll be arriving at some point later this year (follow us on social media for updates) and with it bring an all-new hot hatch option for drivers who need some excitement in their day-to-day commute. However, we've got even more news to share about this upcoming model - a special MORIZO Edition is being brought to market, and our Orlando Toyota dealership has the details. See what this all-new Orlando Toyota is bringing to the table This special edition GR Corolla is track-ready with tighter handling, a highly rigid body, and a special high power-to-weight ratio. Here's what we know so far: The MORIZO Edition will offer drivers 300 horsepower and improved torque of 295 lb-ft (upgraded from the 273 lb-ft you'll find on the other models) as well as a retuned engine for enhanced power. This special edition also showcases an exclusive close-ratio intelligent Manual Transmission and shorter differential gears for more exciting acceleration. Almost 100 lbs of weight have been removed from the MORIZO Edition to make it ultra-light and ready to race; curb weight is an estimated 3,186 lbs. This was achieved by removing the rear seats and adding a forged carbon fiber roof and forged wheels. This two-seater design also allowed for the removal of rear door speakers, rear window regulators, and rear wiper blade and motor to lighten things up further. New tires were added for improved handling - this special edition of the GR Corolla sits on 18" forged alloy wheels that have an exclusive matte black finish and the Toyota GAZOO Racing logo on the rim. The MORIZO Edition will additionally be outfitted with red-painted monotube shock absorbers and have a suspension that's specially tuned for precision racing. Additionally, rigidity on this GR Corolla model was increased by adding two more floor braces and one more rear strut brace, with an additional 349 spot welds and six more meters of structural adhesive than a standard model. The MORIZO Edition will also have the GR-Four All-Wheel-Drive System with the option to select 30/70, 50/50, and 60/40 front-to-rear wheel power settings as well as dual limited-slip differentials. The interior aesthetic also gets an upgrade in this new special edition. Exclusive red and black Ultrasuede and leather trim the sport seats, accented by high bolsters and harness holes and an Ultrasuede wrapped steering wheel with red sightline, shift knob, and parking lever. This new Orlando Toyota will also showcase the 12.3" digital color multi-information display and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 that the other models offer. The exterior of the GR Corolla MORIZO Edition offers functional venting, a forged carbon fiber roof, GR-Four stamped side rockers, and a flat underfloor and rear lip spoiler to improve aerodynamics. You can take it home in with Windchill Pearl and a new exclusive color that's a matte gray. When will the GR Corolla MORIZO Edition arrive at Toyota of Orlando? We don't have an MSRP or exact arrival date for this special edition of the 2023 GR Corolla, but we'll keep you posted. What we do know is that only 200 models are being produced, so if you want to get your hands on one, you have to act fast.

Can you believe that the much-loved Orlando Toyota Sienna is about to celebrate its 25th year on the market? This spacious and stylish minivan has been a sleek alternative to the typical "family car" for more than two decades and to celebrate, Toyota is unveiling an all-new 25th anniversary special edition model that will be out sometime this year (and in limited supply, so don't delay in getting your hands on one). Toyota of Orlando has the details. What will the 25th Anniversary Special Edition of the Toyota Sienna have to offer? This all-new special edition model will be based on the sporty XSE grade of the new Toyota Sienna and will include luxury features like: Dark 20" split-5-spoke wheels Bolder and more aggressive front and rear bumpers Roof rails Black exterior trim and badging Two paint colors to choose from including Celestial Silver and Wind Chill Pearl (after all, it IS a silver anniversary) Black leather-trimmed seats with silver stitching Illuminated doorsills Premium Audio with JBL speakers and navigation Wireless charging for devices Exterior mirrors with memory Auto-dimming puddle lights Second-row seats with ottomans for maximum comfort Special "25th Anniversary" floor mats A black key fob covert with silver stitching A 1500-watt converter Sport-tuned suspension The option of front- or all-wheel drive And only 2,525 models will be up for grabs in the U.S. so like we said, don't wait if you want to get into the driver's seat of one. The Orlando Toyota Sienna first hit the market in 1998; it was assembled in Georgetown, KY, and was nicknamed the "Camry of Minivans" by Toyota. Why? Because it was based on a larger version of the Camry platform, and because its aim was to be a high-quality, high-value, and user-friendly version of a family vehicle (just like the Camry was). They hit home, and since its inception 25 years ago the Swagger Wagon (as it's been dubbed over the years) has grown exponentially in popularity. It's in its fourth generation and major changes have been made to ensure it's still user-friendly, comfortable, convenient, and more fuel-efficient than ever. Here are some of the things we love most about the current version of the Orlando Toyota Sienna: The hybrid technology under the hood which allows for 36 mpg - talk about efficiency Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, which includes the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High Beams, Lane Tracing Assist, and Road Sign Assist Super-Long Slide second-row captain's chairs with ottomans for maximum comfort A Bird's Eye View Camera with Perimeter Scan Toyota Audio with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, seven USB media ports, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Safety Connect, and Wifi Connect Follow Toyota of Orlando on social media for updates We don't know when this new Toyota special edition will arrive at Toyota of Orlando, but we'll be sure to keep you posted on updates.

Do you like to take your four-legged friends along with you when you hit the road? You're not the only one - According to the American Automobile Association, over 80% of dog owners drive with their pets in the car. And there are 43 million households with pets in the US, so you do the math. However, having your dog in the backseat (because remember, they should never be in the front seat - it's extremely dangerous) can do a number on your car's interior, especially if you have SofTex or leather trim. Toyota of Orlando's parts store is here with car care tips on how to protect your car's interior from pets and keep your vehicle's value high for the long run. Car care tips for driving with dogs Tip #1: Invest in a backseat hammock or seat covers. An easy solution to protecting your backseat is to invest in a hammock for it. These special piece of fabric basically hooks to the driver and front passenger seats and the backseat to create a space for your dog. Not only will it prevent them from crawling into the front seat when you're not paying attention, but it'll also protect your Softex or leather seats from their nails AND keep dog hair to a minimum - you can just pull it out and brush it off. And one more bonus? Most of them are waterproof in case of accidents. Tip #2: Purchase door protectors. Your seats aren't the only part of your Orlando Toyota's backseat that you'll need to protect if you have a four-legged friend back there. Believe it or not, you can also buy door protectors. Before you scoff, think about it - your dog will likely get excited and want to put its front paws up on the door so they can see better out the window, leaving scratches on the trim and plastic. These protectors prevent that from happening. Tip #3: Buy a cover for the cargo area of your Orlando Toyota. If you put your pets in the cargo area of your car, they can also do damage back there. Buy a cargo area cover that will protect not only the floor but also the plastic sides of your cargo space to prevent unsightly scratches and other damage. Tip #4: Consider a booster seat for them. Did you know that there are actually booster seats for dogs? And not only that, most of them allow for you to harness your dog in with a seatbelt. This is an extremely way to transport your dog - if you get into an accident, they won't become a projectile or be ejected from the car. Additionally, keeping them in their booster seat will prevent them from ruining the sides or seats of your car with their nails. Tip #5: Keep their nails trimmed. Another way to better protect your car's interior from pets is to keep your dog's nails trimmed short. The longer they are, the more they'll scratch things up. Get your pet nail trims regularly and also, getting them groomed on the regular will help prevent so much hair from ending up in your backseat.

Do you like to take your four-legged friends along with you when you hit the road? You're not the only one - According to the American Automobile Association, over 80% of dog owners drive with their pets in the car. And there are 43 million households with pets in the US, so you do the math. However, having your dog in the backseat (because remember, they should never be in the front seat - it's extremely dangerous) can do a number on your car's interior, especially if you have SofTex or leather trim. Toyota of Orlando's parts store is here with car care tips on how to protect your car's interior from pets and keep your vehicle's value high for the long run. Car care tips for driving with dogs Tip #1: Invest in a backseat hammock or seat covers. An easy solution to protecting your backseat is to invest in a hammock for it. These special piece of fabric basically hooks to the driver and front passenger seats and the backseat to create a space for your dog. Not only will it prevent them from crawling into the front seat when you're not paying attention, but it'll also protect your Softex or leather seats from their nails AND keep dog hair to a minimum - you can just pull it out and brush it off. And one more bonus? Most of them are waterproof in case of accidents. Tip #2: Purchase door protectors.
