Have you ever been driving down the road, glanced up in your rearview mirror, and noticed that the car behind your Orlando Toyota is just a little too close for comfort? When another driver rides too close to the back of your car, it's called tailgating. This type of behavior is dangerous and more often than not leads to collisions and accidents. That's why it's key to know how to react when you're in this unsafe situation - check out these safe driving tips for when you're being tailgated from the experts at Toyota of Orlando. Five tips for when you're being tailgated Tip #1: Don't freak out. Your first reaction is probably either to get really annoyed or to panic. Try not to do either (easier said than done, we know, but still). You'll need to keep your cool to get yourself and your Orlando Toyota safely out of the situation. Keep your emotions in check and focus on the next step once you realize you're being tailgated. Tip #2: Don't feel pressured to speed up. You might feel like you have to speed up since the person behind you obviously wants to go faster, but you don't. If you're going the speed limit, stick to it - it's enforced for a reason. Don't drive over it just to make them happy. It should be noted, however, that it's considered to be bad form to drive in the left lane and not let people pass, so if you're in the left lane and being tailgated, it might be time to move over. Tip #3: Gently brake. The person behind you may not even realize that they're tailgating or getting too close for comfort, so sometimes a little reminder in the form of brake lights can help. Tap your brakes gently so your brake lights illuminate and make them aware. We know it's tempting to brake check them - where you slam on your brakes to give them a little scare - but this behavior can actually result in them running into the back of you, so control yourself. Tip #4: Move over if you can. If you're on a multi-lane road, try to get out of the tailgater's way. Use your blinker to indicate your movements to everyone around you, check your blind spot, and slowly make your way out of your lane to let the driver behind your Orlando Toyota pass you. Don't make any sudden movements or change lanes without using your turn signal - those behaviors increase your chances of a collision. Tip #5: Don't confront them. We get it - it's so annoying when someone is riding your car. But avoid confrontation. Yelling, making rude hand gestures, etc. take your attention off of your own safe driving habits and can also make the other driver angry. Road rage is a real risk and can result in you, the other driver, and the people around you getting hurt, so maintain your cool and get on with your day.

Another week, another Toyota news roundup! Thanksgiving is over and it's back to business for everyone so our Orlando Toyota dealership is here with a fresh round of new Toyota news. We're covering everything from a GR Corolla teaser to why Toyotas have been deemed some of the most reliable cars (again), so buckle up! Toyota Tundra slam dunks Ford F-150 in general, but also in one specific area The 2022 Toyota Tundra will be here in mere weeks - WEEKS - and we're eagerly awaiting its arrival at Toyota of Orlando. However, even though we haven't been able to get our hands on one yet, the critics and experts have. So far, the reviews are in and they're all good; people are living for the all-new design, performance, and tech specs that this completely redesigned truck will have to offer. One news piece that stuck out to us this week, however, is how it compares to the Ford F-150 (one of its main competitors) in one extremely important area... resale value. To put it neatly, the 2022 Toyota Tundra crushes the competition with its innate ability to hold its value. J.D. Power is projecting the new Toyota Tundra to have the BEST resale value in its segment, and CarsDirect is forecasting that it'll have the best residual value in a lease. Bottom line? You're getting your money's worth and making a smart investment if you put this Orlando Toyota in your driveway. Is Toyota teasing a GR Corolla on Instagram? If you follow Toyota USA on the 'Gram, you probably got pretty excited this weekend to see what some users are basically calling an "I Spy" game in their feed. They posted a picture of a Corolla Hatchback - nothing new, it's been out for a few years - but in it, liberally sprinkled hints that fuel the recent rumors that a GR Corolla is headed stateside. The image is below: And hints are as follows: The time on the gauge cluster is G:16, which is a shout-out to the G16E-GTS turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that's currently in the much-coveted GR Yaris. That engine puts out 268 horsepower, and 268 is seen on the climate controls in this hatchback's dash. The nav system shows "GR Four Road", which is a reference to the all-wheel-drive system with Torsen limited-slip differentials in the front and rear and an electronically-controlled center differential. And to top it off, there's a teeny tiny teaser of a camouflaged GR Corolla Hatchback in the background of the image. Consensus says it's coming. Toyota Tundra pricing announced Like we said, the first round of 2022 Toyota Tundras is coming in mere weeks (and you can always pre-purchase yours on our website - they're live in our inventory NOW). Pricing has also been officially announced, and this completely redesigned truck will kick things off with a starting MSRP of $44,990. There will be 23 different trim and model configurations up for grabs, so whatever you're looking for, it'll have it. Toyota dominates list of 2021's most reliable cars No surprise here - Consumer Report's annual list of the year's most reliable cars is out, and Toyota dominated. They took three of the top ten spots with the Toyota Highlander, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Prius Prime taking spots 8, 4, and 3, respectively. We think they should ALL be on the list, but hey - we guess Consumer Reports has to be fair.

The sun in Central Florida can be brutal. If you've lived even one summer here, you know how unforgiving the sun can be in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to your car. One of the most common types of car paint damage we see here at Toyota of Orlando is car paint oxidization. This is when the sun actually causes your paint to lose its oil content and start to develop a dull, rough finish and eventually, lose its color pigment. There's usually no coming back from severe cases or cases in which the car lacks a clear coat, but there are ways to make it look better. Our Orlando Toyota body shop is here with tips on how to handle this type of car paint damage. How to prevent and treat this type of car paint damage Tip #1: Prevention is key. The best way to handle car paint oxidization is to try and prevent it from happening in the first place. How? By parking your car under cover as much as you can - a garage is best, but a carport or even trees that provide some shade can help ward off sun damage to your vehicle. If you aren't able to park under any cover, you may want to consider investing in a car cover to protect your vehicle when it's sitting out in the elements. You should also regularly apply wax. A solid coat of quality wax can help prevent sun damage (and also keeps moisture away) to keep your paint bright and shiny. Tip #2: Get the right tools. If you're going to try to spruce up your car paint DIY style, you're going to need the right tools. Shop our Toyota of Orlando parts store for: Car soap and a sponge A few soft microfiber towels An electric buffer with soft pads Car rubbing compound Car polish and wax Automotive tape Tip #3: Get to work. Here are the quick steps you can take to try and reduce car paint oxidization. Note: This will only work if you have a clear coat on your car. First, wash your car thoroughly and park it in the shade to dry it off with the microfiber towels. Direct sunlight is no good for rubbing compound, polish, or wax. Next, tape off all of the plastic and chrome pieces in the area where you're working. Apply a small amount of rubbing compound to the area and then use the electric buffer to work it into the paint. Go slow, use the slowest setting, and put the softest pad on the buffer. It'll take time, so don't rush or apply too much pressure. If it doesn't seem to be working, you can swap out the buffer pad for one that's more heavy-duty and use a higher speed. Wipe off the excess compound and repeat the process with polish. Wipe off the excess polish and use a quality car wax to apply a couple of coats of wax to the entire car. Schedule car paint oxidization repairs at Toyota of Orlando If the above steps don't seem to make a difference on your Orlando Toyota (or you don't have a clear coat), then it's time to bring in the professionals. Let the Orlando Toyota body shop take a look at it and get the process started on your car paint job to bring your car back to like-new condition.

If you're into alternative fuel vehicles, get ready - an all-new electric Toyota has been revealed. We first saw the Toyota bZ4X back when it was a concept car and no one was really sure if or when it would come to fruition. It's finally made the leap from concept to production car, and our Orlando Toyota dealership has the details on what it can bring to your drive time should you choose to take it home. Meet the newest electric Toyota Performance: The new Toyota bZ4X is all-electric - it runs on a battery that can be charged and is zero emissions. After all, bZ stands for Beyond Zero. This electric Toyota has an estimated range of 250 miles on one charge, giving you the freedom to get around town with ease. It's built on the e-TNGA platform and has a high-capacity lithium-ion battery placed flat under the floor. This results in a low center of gravity (and subsequently improved handling). It has a redesigned accelerator pedal for a smoother and more responsive drive, as well as an intelligent throttle to offer improved handling on slick surfaces and a new AWD system with X-MODE. Engineers also made enhancements to improve handling and range even in icy winter conditions, like a heat pump system for heating and air-conditioning. Additionally, the battery is designed to have a capacity retention of 90% after 10 years of ownership. Technology: The new Toyota bZ4X will be the first Toyota to offer Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which has enhanced millimeter-wave radar and new functions like Low-Light Cyclist Detection, Guardrail Detection, and Daytime Motorcyclist Detection. Navigation pulls data from the cloud to provide real-time traffic and parking info, and a digital key will allow you to lock, unlock, and even start your car via your smartphone. Software updates can be conducted wirelessly or Over-The-Air to improve performance and keep both Toyota Safety Sense and the multimedia system up to speed High-output charger compatibility means you can charge this Orlando Toyota up to 80% in just one hour) Design: An all-new car calls for all-new stylistic elements, like a new aero-dynamic and supremely sporty design and a trapezoidal theme. Throw in LED lighting, a curved front bumper, and cool new paint colors and you've got something truly unique. The interior is designed with premium materials to ensure major comfort and is driver-centric. The instrument panel and touchscreen interface are placed carefully to make the cabin seem bigger and both soundproofing glass and wind-noise reduction features ensure a peaceful drive time. When will it arrive? It's being forecasted that this all-new electric Toyota will be available in mid-2022. Follow Toyota of Orlando for updates on our social media!

There's a lot going on in the world of Toyota this week so we're just going to jump right into it - check out the latest Toyota news updates courtesy of your favorite Orlando Toyota dealership. What's new in Toyota news this week? New Toyota GR Supra Funny Car gets 330 hp Toyota introduced an all-new Toyota GR Supra Funny Car (a.k.a. drag racing car) to the world of NHRA this past weekend! Since 2012, their NHRA car has always been based on the ever-popular Toyota Camry, but for 2022 Toytora is putting a Supra in the ring. This new Toyota Funny Car will debut next February at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals weekend and will be piloted by J.R. Todd and Alexis DeJoria. Todd is the 2018 NHRA Champion, while DeJoria is a former U.S. Nationals winner. We can't wait to see what it has to offer - Funny Cars are typically bigger, wider, and has a longer wheelbase than production cars, so seeing the GR Supra transform into one will definitely be interesting. Is a GR Corolla headed our way? Pretty much everyone loves the all-new Toyota GR Yaris that was brought to market in Europe last year, and we were bummed to learn that it wouldn't be making its way stateside anytime soon. According to recent rumors, that's about to change. It's been suggested that an all-new GR Corolla with the same turbocharged 1.6L 3-cylinder engine as the GR Yaris will be introduced in the US, offering 295 horsepower. If the rumors are true, we can expect it to be unveiled sometime in the first half of 2022. Fingers crossed! Toyota Supra to go manual next year? Another rumor surrounding the Orlando Toyota Supra has been making its way into the limelight lately - namely, that this much-loved sports car will be getting a manual gearbox in 2023. While this new Toyota is hands-down the most exciting one to drive on the lot, some were disappointed that it only came with an automatic transmission. Adding a manual option would definitely appease that segment and make the Toyota Supra even more exciting to drive. We don't think it's too far of a stretch - after all, the BMW Z5, which it shares a platform with, offers a manual option. 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers a new trim The new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is a great way to get the best of both worlds - a good amount of interior space as well as top-notch fuel efficiency. And we're excited to announce that this Orlando Toyota is getting a new trim-level for the 2022 model year - the SE. Previously, you could get the XSE if you wanted seriously sporty style and performance features. The SE offers a more affordable option and includes features like mono-tone paint, a 7" touchscreen audio interface, and tons of new packages - you can choose from options like the weather package, convenience package, and more.

Since 2012, their NHRA car has always been based on the ever-popular Toyota Camry, but for 2022 Toytora is putting a Supra in the ring. This new Toyota Funny Car will debut next February at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals weekend and will be piloted by J.R. Todd and Alexis DeJoria. Todd is the 2018 NHRA Champion, while DeJoria is a former U.S. Nationals winner. We can't wait to see what it has to offer - Funny Cars are typically bigger, wider, and has a longer wheelbase than production cars, so seeing the GR Supra transform into one will definitely be interesting. Is a GR Corolla headed our way? Pretty much everyone loves the all-new Toyota GR Yaris that was brought to market in Europe last year, and we were bummed to learn that it wouldn't be making its way stateside anytime soon. According to recent rumors, that's about to change. It's been suggested that an all-new GR Corolla with the same turbocharged 1.6L 3-cylinder engine as the GR Yaris will be introduced in the US, offering 295 horsepower. If the rumors are true, we can expect it to be unveiled sometime in the first half of 2022. Fingers crossed! Toyota Supra to go manual next year? Another rumor surrounding the Orlando Toyota Supra has been making its way into the limelight lately - namely, that this much-loved sports car will be getting a manual gearbox in 2023. While this new Toyota is hands-down the most exciting one to drive on the lot, some were disappointed that it only came with an automatic transmission. Adding a manual option would definitely appease that segment and make the Toyota Supra even more exciting to drive. We don't think it's too far of a stretch - after all, the BMW Z5, which it shares a platform with, offers a manual option. 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers a new trim The new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is a great way to get the best of both worlds - a good amount of interior space as well as top-notch fuel efficiency. And we're excited to announce that this Orlando Toyota is getting a new trim-level for the 2022 model year - the SE. Previously, you could get the XSE if you wanted seriously sporty style and performance features. The SE offers a more affordable option and includes features like mono-tone paint, a 7" touchscreen audio interface, and tons of new packages - you can choose from options like the weather package, convenience package, and more.
