Here at Toyota of Orlando, we like to stay on top of all the rumors in the automotive world (even if there's really nothing substantial backing them), and there's one rumor floating around right now that we're living for. Toyota recently trademarked the name "Grand Highlander", and people are speculating that a larger and more decked-out version of the much-loved Orlando Toyota Highlander may be making its way to the market in the future. We're digging into this interesting rumor further! What will Toyota do with their new trademark? First things first: Toyota did, in fact, trademark the name "Grand Highlander" which makes it theirs to use exclusively. To us, this signals that they'll be making moves to introduce a new vehicle into their lineup, and going off of the name itself, it'll be a larger version of the Toyota Highlander. But why? If you remember, we recently (sadly) announced that the Toyota Land Cruiser is going to be retired after the 2021 model year. We'll get one more year of production out of it and to mix things up a bit before it's put out to pasture, Toyota is removing the V8 engine from under the hood and integrated a new V6 engine into the works. Additionally, the limited Heritage Edition will still be available and this go around, will offer three rows of seating. However, when all is said and done, this iconic Toyota SUV will be removed from the lineup after 2021, leaving an empty slot. Will the Grand Highlander make its way to Toyota of Orlando? That's why we're all about the Grand Highlander being introduced as a larger sibling to the original Toyota Highlander. Don't get us wrong - we're huge fans of the current model of this popular SUV. It's sleek, stylish, and family-friendly (and additionally comes in a hybrid model, too). However, if you're in the market for a large SUV, the Toyota Highlander may not tick all your boxes. Sure, it has three rows of seats... but the third row can be a bit cramped and if you utilize it, you lose a good chunk of storage space in the cargo area. So what would the Grand Highlander have to offer? If we had to wager a guess, we'd say it'll be a larger and more spacious version of the current model. It'll likely rest on the same TNGA-K platform and have a V6 or turbocharged V6 engine under the hood and offer three rows of seating for passengers. It'll also probably have a larger cargo area, which means the back end of the vehicle would need to be redesigned and updated. We're conjecturing that it'll be similar to the Lexus LX, which is Lexus' solution to the large SUV. We'll keep you posted, but if you want a large SUV in the meantime, come down to Toyota of Orlando! The Toyota Land Cruiser is still hanging around and the Toyota Highlander isn't going anywhere anytime soon. You can get behind the wheel of both at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall. Call us at (407) 298-4500 to schedule your test drive!

Well, it's official - the Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser is officially headed for retirement. Rumors have been swirling for a few months now that this classic SUV was about to be put out to pasture but many were holding out hope that they were just that: rumors. However, Toyota just confirmed that this off-roading icon will be put into retirement after the 2021 model year. Toyota of Orlando has the details. Say goodbye to this iconic Toyota SUV The current model of the Toyota Land Cruiser - the 200 Series - has been on the market since 2008. This luxury SUV is renowned throughout the world for its off-roading capabilities but as it is a luxury vehicle, it doesn't sell in high numbers and is the sort of SUV a niche buyer would be looking for. Thus, Toyota's decision to retire it for the foreseeable future. The 200 Series model will be retired after 2021 in the United States but there's good news if you live overseas; the 300 Series will be introduced to markets in other countries. And while you may not be able to take it home with you here in the states, Toyota has stated that they're going to remain committed to the large SUV segment of the market. Whether this means introducing a new SUV to the lineup, we're not sure, but they did say they were going to explore future options that continue to honor the Toyota Land Cruiser's heritage and history. There's more good news to soften the blow, too. For 2021, the new Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition will offer three rows of seats for the first time (all previous iterations only had two rows). Additionally, it'll likely lose the V8 engine and you can put the pedal to the metal with a new turbocharged V6 option instead. On top of that, if you're interested in a similar product, you can always check out the Lexus LX. This luxury SUV won't be retiring anytime soon and will also be getting the aforementioned turbocharged V6 engine under the hood. Get off the pavement in an Orlando Toyota We're sad to see the Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser go, but we're also eager to see what's coming down the road to replace it. In the meantime, we've still got plenty of off-road options ready and waiting for you at our dealership PLUS a large selection of quality used Toyotas that will likely include a Toyota Land Cruiser or two in the future. If you're looking to take things off the pavement now, consider options like: Current Toyota Land Cruiser: This iconic Toyota SUV is well known for both its off-road capabilities and its luxurious interior. Recline in leather seats, access the latest and greatest tech, and take on any terrain thrown at you with features like CRAWL Conrol and Multi-terrain Select. Toyota 4Runner: The Orlando Toyota 4Runner is a bit smaller than its larger sibling, but still packs a punch when it comes to off-road abilities thanks to features like limited-slip differential and active traction control. Toyota Tacoma: Skip the SUV and head straight for the trucks - the Toyota Tacoma is well-adapted for off-roading adventures with features like four-wheel drive, CRAWL Control, and TRD sport-tuned suspension.

SEMA is always an exciting time for both automakers and auto enthusiasts. This one-of-a-kind car show not only introduces new models and vehicles to the various lineups but also brings exciting new concept vehicles to the table for drivers to ponder. 2020 was no exception and Toyota has followed their initial wave of four new SEMA builds with an additional two models to send out the year with a bang. Today we're taking a closer look at the 2021 Toyota GR Supra Sport Top and the TRD-Sport Trailer for the 2021 Toyota Tacoma. The unique 2021 GR Supra Sport Top lets the outside in The Toyota GR Supra is a blast from the past that's gained some serious traction since its initial release. This incredible sports car offers aggressive and sporty aesthetics both inside and out as well as an exciting performance, but the new Sport Top model adds a whole new element - an open-air top. Yup, you heard right! This concept car is a tribute to the older Supra models (now retired) that had a removable top to make the car a convertible. However, it wasn't quite as simple as merely taking the top off - structural integrity and engineering had to be taken into account to ensure that even as an open-top concept, the vehicle remained safe. Toyota is never one to shirk from a challenge (especially when it comes to safety), so they dove right in. They ended up reinforcing large sections of the vehicle's frame to ensure structural rigidity and integrity; in doing so, they were able to do away with the customary "t-shaped" roof so there's no center bar blocking your view. This cool new concept car is also showcasing a sleek wing in the back, rounded taillights, and a canopy with a piano-black finish. The TRD-Sport Trailer can get you off the grid Overlanding enthusiasts, this one's for you! In the first wave of new SEMA concept cars, Toyota introduced an overlanding-ready Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. This unique trailer is designed to go along with it, serving as a sort of home-away-from-home for people who like to get off the grid. It showcases a remote-operated scissor lift that actually boosts a platform out of the bed of the trailer for additional space. It can be pulled by a Toyota truck or SUV and offers incredibly cool features like a Yakima four-person tent, a toilet, a hot water heater, a refrigerator, a slide-out sink and stove, a trash can, tanks for both fresh and gray water, and even lighting for the campsite. On top of that, the tent offers an awning for cover and fishing pole holders. Talk about being ready for anything! We don't know when - if ever - that we'll see these two new cool concepts at Toyota of Orlando... but if we do, you can bet on us letting you know. In the interim, come check out the 2021 Toyota GR Supra and Toyota Tacoma in person! Both of these new Toyotas are ready and waiting for you to take them home in time for the holidays at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

This iconic sports car was incredibly popular from 1978 until 2002, when it was retired. Popular demand saw its revival in 2019, and since then, it’s continued to be a fan favorite for drivers who want an exciting experience every single time they get behind the wheel. This vehicle is known for its sleek styling, impressive performance, and motorsports heritage. The Supra has earned a legendary reputation that few vehicles can match. Also, the Toyota Supra has become deeply embedded in pop culture. From dominating racetracks to starring in movies, video games, and car enthusiast communities around the world, the Supra has transcended being “just a car.” Its tuning potential, reliability, and powerful inline-six engines have made it a staple among performance enthusiasts and collectors alike. We’re “Making it Simple®” by going over the history of the Orlando Toyota Supra. What is the history of the Orlando Toyota Supra? As noted, the Orlando Toyota Supra was introduced to the market way back in 1978. There are five generations of this sports car, with the latest being introduced in 2019 after a period of retirement. Across each generation, Toyota refined the Supra’s balance of speed, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, ensuring it stayed competitive with some of the world’s most respected performance cars. Here’s the breakdown of the different generations. First generation: This generation was referred to as the A40/A50; it was based heavily on the popular Toyota Celica. It was first introduced in Japan as the Celica XX and then in America as the Celica Supra and had a 2.0L inline-six engine that offered 123 horsepower and electronic fuel injection. You could choose from a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission, and the car came with disc brakes, four-link rear suspension, and MacPherson strut front suspension. Subsequent model years featured updates like power door locks and windows, an optional sunroof, and a four-speaker stereo system. This generation was available through 1980. Second generation: In addition, the second generation of the Orlando Toyota Supra was introduced in 1981 and was called the A60. It was available in two models: The Performance (P-Type) and Luxury (L-Type). The two cars were identical when it came to mechanics, but had pretty vast differences when it came to appearance. The P-type had fender flares, headlight washers, and was also available in a manual transmission. The L-type showcased a leather interior, a digital instrument cluster, and came in an automatic transmission. In 1984, significant changes were made in terms of performance – power was increased to 160 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. In 1985, the Toyota Supra was redesigned again to feature slightly increased power, automatic-off headlights, and a theft-deterrent system. Third generation: In addition, the third generation of the Toyota Supra, or the A70, was introduced to the market in 1986. Also, it was now the Toyota Supra (not the Celica Supra) and had a rear-wheel-drive layout, an updated 3.0L inline-six engine with 200 horsepower, and the option of a turbocharger in 1987. It also showcased major technology updates like a 3-channel ABS, an Acoustic Control Induction System, double wishbone suspension, and more. This model carried through to 1992. Fourth generation: Next, the fourth generation of the Toyota Supra was introduced in 1992 and was around through 2002. It was the A80 model and was a high-performance car. It offered two engines. Also, there was a naturally-aspirated inline-six that got 220 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque, and a twin-turbocharged engine that offered 276 horsepower and 318 lb-ft of torque. It was also lighter despite the fact that it offered more features than previous generations (like dual airbags, bigger tires, traction control, etc.). Fifth generation: The fifth generation of the Toyota Supra was introduced in 2019. Also, this sports car was a collaboration with BMW and is based on the Z4; it showcases two engine options (a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four and a turbocharged 3.0L inline-six) and comes in an automatic transmission. And the best news? You can see it in person today at Toyota of Orlando! Why the Toyota Supra still matters today Even decades after its original debut, the Toyota Supra continues to represent Toyota’s commitment to performance engineering. The fifth-generation model blends modern technology, precision handling, and turbocharged power while paying homage to the Supra’s storied past. Additionally, for drivers around Toyota of Orlando looking for a sports car that delivers excitement, heritage, and everyday drivability, the Supra remains a standout choice.

Our sales specialists will be happy to take care of you! Common FAQ of the Toyota Supra 1. What other sports cars does Toyota have? Toyota’s got a few other sports cars besides the Toyota Supra: the GR86 (a light, rear‑wheel‑drive coupe), the rally-inspired GR Corolla hot hatch, plus GR‑tuned versions of some regular models that crank up the sporty feel. If you’re into smaller, tossable cars, the GR86 and GR Corolla are the ones you’ll probably vibe with most. 2. What does turbocharged mean? Turbocharged basically means the engine has a little “air pump” that uses exhaust gas to shove extra air into the engine, so it can make more power without getting much bigger. More air plus more fuel equals a stronger “boom” in each cylinder, so the car feels quicker and more fun to drive. 3. Is the Toyota Supra still for sale? You can still buy a new GR Supra right now, including the 2026 Toyota Supra MkV Final Edition, but it’s in its last model year and production is ending in 2026, so they won’t be around new for much longer. If you’re thinking about one, it’s definitely a “don’t wait too long” situation.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... except the snow part. We don't see much winter precipitation in the City Beautiful except for rain so driving in the snow isn't really a big concern for us. However, if you're headed out of town on a road trip to celebrate with family and friends or take a vacation, you might find yourself in more challenging driving conditions. This means not only should you be ready for driving in the snow, but you should also ensure your car is ready for driving in the snow. Here are some car care appointments you'll want to make to get it prepped. Five car care items to check off your list before driving in the snow #1: Tires: Before you attempt driving in the snow, you should ensure that your tires are in the BEST condition possible. If they're underinflated or the tread is too low, they won't be able to grip the slick surfaces you'll be driving on. Have our Orlando auto service techs inspect them for general condition, tread depth, and inflation level before you hit the road. If your tread is too low for safe driving, ensure that you replace your tires before you take off. #2: Brakes: When the road is slippery, you want as much stopping power as you can get. After all, you may have to come to a sudden stop to avoid an accident or collision. Our Orlando Toyota service techs will inspect your car's brake system, including your brake pads and brake fluid, and replace or repair anything that would prevent you from bringing your ride to a halt. #3: Headlights: You'll want to use your headlights when driving in the snow, especially if snow is actively falling. This helps make you more visible to other drivers on the road. On top of that, winter means shorter days and longer nights. Be ready to turn on your headlights as soon as dusk falls and leave them on until dawn. #4: Wipers: You'll definitely want to use your windshield wipers when driving in winter weather. Whether you're facing rain, sleet, or snow, your wipers will keep your windshield clear so you have a full view of everything around you (so you can better avoid an accident). #5: Heater/defroster: Don't forget to test out your heater and defroster before you take off. You'll want a working heater for comfort reasons, and you'll want a working defroster to ensure that you can see better out of your front and rear windows. If you have issues with them, bring them to Toyota of Orlando's service center to let our techs get them working again. And don't forget about your battery. It's a good idea to have our techs give it a quick once-over before you leave because cold temperatures can have a negative effect on it if it's not in the best shape.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... except the snow part. We don't see much winter precipitation in the City Beautiful except for rain so driving in the snow isn't really a big concern for us. However, if you're headed out of town on a road trip to celebrate with family and friends or take a vacation, you might find yourself in more challenging driving conditions. This means not only should you be ready for driving in the snow, but you should also ensure your car is ready for driving in the snow. Here are some car care appointments you'll want to make to get it prepped.

When you get behind the wheel of an Orlando Toyota, you know that you're in safe hands. Toyota does extensive safety testing for each and every one of its vehicles and on top of that, it's always conducting new research to create, design, and implement new safety technologies. In fact, Toyota even has a facility devoted entirely to safety research in Ann Arbor, Michigan - the Toyota Collaborative Safety Research Center. This institution spends countless hours researching, testing, and designing different features and technologies to keep you and your loved ones safe when you're behind the wheel. On top of that, all Toyotas undergo stringent testing for safety before they hit the road. Both the IIHS and NHTSA assign ratings to each vehicle to ensure it's meeting the standards it should for the safest performance possible. What exactly is the Moose Test? However, one safety test that you may not have heard of yet is the Moose Test. This unique test isn't very commonly known and we're here to give you the details. All of our Orlando Toyotas undergo testing for crashing and rollovers to see how they'll fare in those instances. The Moose Test, however, tests just how well your vehicle would fare if a large animal (like a moose) were to wander into the roadway as you're driving. Here are a few things to know about the Moose Test: It's most commonly used in Sweden and it actually originates from there, having been created and put into use in the 1970s. (Apparently, they see a lot of wandering moose.) Researchers set up an s-shaped pattern of orange cones on the road with a sudden left turn and a straight-away bookending the segment. The test is designed to simulate an object suddenly crossing into your Orlando Toyota's path and obstructing the way forward. To avoid a collision, the driver has to swerve out of the way of the object and then regain control of their car to continue driving in a straight line. The vehicles in this test typically travel at 40-50 mph. The test isn't easy - a lot of vehicles don't pass it on the first go, leading automakers to reconsider the design and implementation of their safety systems, features, and technologies. However, the test is really only performed in Sweden - it's not often in North America that you'll have a moose pass in front of you on the open road. And don't forget, some of the responsibility in this test AND in real-life situation lies with the driver. It's critical that whenever you're behind the wheel you're focused on driving and driving alone. This means no distractions, no taking your hands off the wheel, and no taking your eyes off the road. It also means implementing your best defensive driving skills so you can react to a situation BEFORE an accident occurs, rather than reacting to an accident as it's happening.
