The latest Toyota news: Week of August 23, 2021

It's another week of Toyota news, and Toyota of Orlando is here with the latest updates about our make and the automotive industry in general. Check it out! The latest Toyota news for this week 10 million Toyota Camrys have hit the road We always knew the Toyota Camry was a winner - this Orlando Toyota is one of the most popular cars on the lot for its classic and sleek style, reliable performance, and top technology. We're not the only ones that think so, though - Toyota has officially produced its 10 millionth Camry. The white 2021 Toyota Camry SE rolled off the line at the Georgetown, Kentucky plant, and not only did it mark the 10 millionth new Toyota Camry ever made, but it also marked the 35th year of operation for this US Toyota plant. We're excited about both, and if you want to celebrate by getting behind the wheel of an Orlando Toyota Camry, you know where to look! 2022 Toyota 4Runner debuts new green paint We're big fans of the Toyota 4Runner here at Toyota of Orlando. It's rough, tough, and off-road-ready, but still possesses the sleek style, up-to-the-minute tech, and incredible safety features that you need to make it a daily driver. That's why we're even more excited that a hot new paint color is being introduced to the mix in 2022! Lime Rush will bring a bright pop of green to the TRD Pro lineup (not to be confused with Electric Lime Metallic, which is a different hue being offered on the 2022 Toyota Tacoma). You'll also be able to pick up this Orlando Toyota SUV in Super White, Midnight Black Metallic, and Magnetic Gray Metallic. Redarc customizes Toyota Tacoma into an off-road camper The Orlando Toyota Tacoma is up for everything and anything off the pavement, but it just got taken to a whole new level by Redarc, an Australian company that's making this new Toyota truck its first North American "ultimate overland adventure vehicle". This specially designed new Toyota truck will feature a camping platform with a custom alloy canopy, two dual-battery power systems, rooftop solar panels, and more. Basically, no matter where adventure takes you, you'll still have power and a dry place to sleep when you find it. Toyota wins 24 Hours of Le Mans (again) We're not surprised, but we're happy to report that Toyota has once again won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race (for the 4th consecutive time). Hitting the track was the new GR010 Hybrid race car, which was piloted by drivers Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and José María López. Follow Toyota of Orlando for more updates!

Toyota of Orlando tips

What are the most difficult auto repair jobs out there?

Here at the Toyota of Orlando auto service center, we like to think that we can handle pretty much any auto repair you throw our way. No matter what's wrong with your car, we want to get you back on the road as quickly (and as affordably) as we possibly can. However, it's not always easy. While oil changes and tire rotations are a snap for our skilled techs, there are some jobs that are a lot tougher to see through to the finish. If you've ever wondered which auto repairs are the hardest to complete, you're about to find out! The four most difficult auto repairs (arguably) #1: Spark plugs When you think of spark plugs, you probably don't think of a tough repair. After all, they're so small and it seems like you just pluck the bad ones out and plug new ones in - how hard could it be? While the actual act of replacing a spark plug is easy, what's not that simple is accessing them in the first place. Their housing is usually tucked back into an inconvenient spot in the engine bay and actually accessing them is a daunting task in itself. It's a toss-up with this one - it can be a quick and simple auto repair or something that takes forever (and results in a ton of frustration) because you just can't get to them. #2: Clutch Our Orlando auto repair techs don't get this kind of job too often, to be honest - manual transmissions just aren't as popular or prevalent as they used to be. However, when a clutch repair does find its way into our Toyota service center, they know it's going to be a big one. When people have clutch issues it's usually because they've either been 1) driving them poorly and causing premature damage or degradation or 2) not maintaining them as necessary. This can cause damage to the transmission, which in turn leads to a much bigger repair job for our techs to tackle. #3: Transmission Your car transmission plays a major part in performance and thus, it's critical to maintain it. However, transmission repairs can be pricy and a lot of drivers make the choice to skip or delay them until it's too late and they have a major issue on their hands. But trust us - it's worth it to shell out for adding transmission fluid, replacing bad shift cables, and other smaller repairs. If you don't, your Orlando auto repair tech will likely have to remove or dismantle your transmission to fix the resulting problem, which is a lot more costly in the long run. #4: Engine swap Swapping an engine sounds simple, right? Pull out the old one and drop a new one in. But trust us, friends, it's anything but simple. Your Orlando Toyota's engine has what seems like a billion cables, wires, hoses, and more connected to it. All of them have to be disconnected when the old engine is removed, and then before a new engine can be dropped in our auto repair techs have to flush lines, do an inspection of all of the remaining parts, and make any small necessary repairs. After that's done, the new engine has to be reconnected to all of the hoses, lines, cables, wires... all in all, it's an extremely work-intensive process. Get all of your car care handled at Toyota of Orlando today Whether you need any of these complicated auto repairs or just a simple maintenance item ticked off your list, our Orlando Toyota service techs have got you covered. Call us today to schedule at (407) 298-0001 or stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Orlando Toyota service tips

How to choose your next auto mechanic

Are you dreading even the thought of having to find a new auto mechanic to help you with service and repairs for your ride? We get it.

Four tips for finding the right auto mechanic #1: Ask your friends and your family. Why not ask your friends, family, and coworkers which auto mechanic they use? This is a great way to get a personal referral to someone that they trust to work on their car. If they trust them, you probably can, too. #2: Do a little research online.

If all else fails, you can jump in feet first! Find a shop near you that's convenient to visit or look for a brand name you trust, and schedule an appointment.

How to shop for car tires: Toyota service tips

Is it time for you to invest in a new pair of shoes for your Orlando Toyota? We can hear you sighing all the way over here - we get it. Shopping for new car tires isn't exactly a fun task. They're expensive, you have to pay someone to install them, and there's really no way to get around replacing them. When you need new tires, you need new tires. However, it can be easier if you know what you're doing and how to navigate the process, and that's where our Orlando Toyota service center comes in. Check out these tips from our techs for shopping for new car tires. Tip #1: Make sure you actually do need new car tires. Before you drop the cash, are you really due for new car tires? This is probably a good time to have them inspected at our Toyota of Orlando service center for an expert opinion. However, if you prefer the DIY route, here are some surefire signs you're due for a new set: Age. If you've had the same set of car tires for five years, it's time to start thinking about replacing them. Just like anything else, they do wear out over time and degrade to a point where they're no longer safe to drive on. Tread depth. Take out a penny and do a tread depth test - if you stick the penny into your tire tread with Abe's head facing down, can you see the top of his head? If so, your tread is too shallow and you need a new set of car tires. Shallow tread reduces your traction and makes your chances of getting into a car accident a lot higher. Damage. Do you have obvious damage to your tires that's an impediment to their performance? We're talking punctures, sidewall separation, blisters or bulges, etc. Feel. How do your tires feel when you drive? If something feels off, don't assume automatically that your tires are the culprit. It could be another part altogether and it's worth haveing out Toyota of Orlando service techs take a look to investigate. Tip #2: Know your measurements. Before you start shopping, you need to know exactly what you're shopping for. Tires aren't one-size-fits-all; in fact, your car has very specific tire measurements that you have to stick to. Either ask our techs to give you your measurements or find them yourself in your owner's manual or on the tires themselves. The measurements should read something like "255/35R18. The first number (255) is the width of the tire in millimeters. The 35 is the aspect ratio (height to widtch), R means radial, and the 18 is the wheel diameter in inches. Make sure your new set matches up. You'll also need to shop for the right TYPE of tires - whether you're getting all-season, summer, racing, winter, or any other type, make sure they fit your car and your performance needs. Tip #3: Decide where to buy them. Where are you going to shop for new car tires? There are tons of options, and it really just depends on which fits your needs best. Here are three of the big ones: Online. You can buy pretty much anything online, including car tires. You'll have lots of options and can probably get them shipped to you quickly. The drawback? You have to find someone to install them after you arrive and if necessary, transport them to that location. A tire store. There are also dedicated tire stores where you can shop. You'll have lots of options here, too, and a specialist who can guide you to the right set. These shops can usually install them, too. However, the cost is bundled into the price of the tires and both tires and labor tend to be more expensive at these types of stores. A dealership service center. When you shop at a dealership (like here at Toyota of Orlando), you'll find plenty of options for your ride if it's the same make as the dealership. They'll also install them for you and can help you choose the specific type you need. However, if your car is a different make, you may not find what you need. Have questions or need help shopping for car tires? Call us! Toyota of Orlando's service center is open seven days a week at (407) 298-0001 and we're just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

driving superstitions

More weird driving superstitions in honor of Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th! In honor of the spooky holiday, today we're talking even more weird driving superstitions that some car owners have. Let's jump into it! #1: You should scratch your new car on purpose. Some drivers believe that when you get a new car, you should purposely scratch it yourself and this will ward off car accidents, collisions, and the car getting scratched otherwise. We can't say if it works or not, but if you feel the need to scratch your new car (which we don't), be sure to do it in a place that's out of sight. #2: Don't wash off bird poop right away. It's also a driving superstition that if a bird poops on your car, you shouldn't wash it off right away. Why? Bird poop is good luck and can help keep you AND your car safe out on the road. Our thoughts? Gross, and it could damage your paint, so don't leave it on TOO long if you feel the need to keep it there for a while. #3: Honk before you enter a tunnel. Some drivers believe that you should honk before you enter a tunnel - it'll ward off evil spirits that could cause you to crash. Our take? If you must, you must - just try not to confuse other drivers when you do it. #4: Hide your thumb if you pass a funeral procession. This driving superstition comes from Japan. It's believed there that the spirits of the dead hang around their caskets for a while and if you pass an evil one lingering around a funeral procession, it could enter your body and possess you by sneaking in under your thumbnail. So if you pass a funeral procession, you should hide your thumbs from it. We say as long as you keep your hands on the wheel, have at it. #5: Don't talk about selling your car while you're sitting inside of it. In Russia, it's unlucky to discuss selling your car while you're sitting inside the cabin. Supposedly the car will "hear" you and become resentful, and things will start to break and malfunction before you can get rid of it. We get it; we'd be resentful, too. #6: Hang something to ward off evil. A lot of drivers hang some sort of lucky charm or religious emblem inside of their car to help ward off evil and keep them and their vehicle safe when out on the road. We say whether it's a rosary or a rabbit's foot, go for it. #7: Crush lemons under the wheels of your car. In India, it's thought that if you crush lemons under the wheels of your new car it will help to protect you from car accidents in the future. We say why not? Just clean up your mess afterward. #8: Be extra careful on Friday the 13th. Some drivers are so superstitious that they won't even take their cars out of the garage on Friday the 13th, considering it too unlucky of a day to even drive. In our opinion, just be careful and practice defensive driving like you would any other day of the year! Have questions about these weird driving superstitions or looking for a new ride to crush some lemons under? Call us! Toyota of Orlando is open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500, and we're conveniently located just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Orlando Toyota news

Toyota News: A new Tundra suspension, soybeans for Toyotas, and mobile collision assistance

It's time for another Toyota news roundup! Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to share the latest and greatest news surrounding our vehicles and the automotive industry. Today we're talking about the new Tundra suspension, two new Toyota hypercars, the new mobile collision assistance that's been rolled out, and the Toyota Barter program in Brazil. An all-new Toyota Tundra suspension is coming At this point, we're eagerly awaiting the BIG unveiling of the new Toyota Tundra. Toyota has been slowly and steadily dropping teaser images and tidbits of information, and this week was no exception - they dropped a photo and video of the 2022 Toyota Tundra's new and updated suspension, and the automotive world is abuzz.
