The automotive world is getting hyped – the Tokyo Motor Show is fast approaching, and we can’t wait to see which new Toyotas are unveiled when it finally arrives! Everyone knows that auto shows are the prime time to release new models, upcoming events and initiatives, and cool concept cars that may or may not make it into actual production. Toyota of Orlando is here with the scoop – check out what’s rumored to be unveiled at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, taking place from October 24 – November 4!

See Toyota of Orlando’s take on rumored unveils this fall

The Toyota TJ Cruiser

We’ve written about the rumored Toyota TJ Cruiser before – this modernistic SUV is a part-SUV, part-minivan spinoff from the much-loved Toyota FJ Cruiser. It’s supposed that it MIGHT go into production after being officially revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show and could even make its way to the US. What do you think – do you want to see this interesting new Toyota on our lot?

The Toyota FT-4X

This new Toyota crossover has four doors AND four-wheel drive, making it a versatile option for drivers from all walks of life. It’s utilitarian with a high degree of adaptability and off-road-friendly features like low range and four-wheel drive, as well as cool add-ons like a multi-hatch that opens in two different directions and a “wet zone” where you can store muddy boots and damp wetsuits. Honestly, out of all the concepts, we think this one is the coolest and would love to see it at Toyota of Orlando eventually.

A redesigned Toyota 86 

Toyota has been talking a lot about a “performance trio”, with the all-new Toyota Supra and the Toyota 86 being the first two members. However, before they introduce the third, they want to amp up the existing Toyota 86 with a new platform and possible engineering upgrades. Additionally, it’ll still be a collaboration with Subaru so the popular BRZ will also see changes in its near future.

The GRMN Toyota Supra 

We’ve seen the new Toyota GR Supra up close and personal right here at Toyota of Orlando. However, the GRMN model is a possible new sub-model will be lighter and will include an upgraded suspension and additional new engineering features to take performance up to a new level. We look forward to seeing what it has to offer!

However, that’s not all we’ll see at the Tokyo Motor Show. The show, which takes place biennially, will showcase new and upcoming models and concepts from not only Toyota, but also other Japanese automakers like Honda and Subaru (we like to scope the competition). Plus, new technology and features are also usually unveiled, giving us a glimpse into the future of automobiles.

Test drive existing new Toyota models NOW

Stay tuned for updates – Toyota of Orlando has got you covered! We’ll be reporting back with news from the show after it takes place but in the meantime, test drive the new Toyota 86 or check out the Toyota Supra in person. We’re open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

When it comes to your car’s transmission, how knowledgeable do you feel? Most drivers are intimidated by this very important car part – after all, there’s a lot of bells and whistles involved. In fact, most people can tell you that transmissions come in manual or automatic, but that’s about as far as their knowledge extends.

What are the most common car transmission issues?

Whether you’re an expert or a novice when it comes to this essential part, it’s important to know how to spot trouble with it. Your car transmission is absolutely essential when it comes to keeping your car up and running so you want to be able to immediately identify AND fix any issues that may arise as quickly as possible. Check out these four common issues we often see with this VIP part.

1) Burning smell: A burning smell coming from under the hood can indicate trouble – specifically, that you’re low on transmission fluid or you’re using the wrong type. However, the best way to pinpoint the issue is to let our Orlando auto service experts take a look at it so they can ensure it’s not something else going on in the engine bay.

2) Grinding or vibrating gears: Whether you’re shifting your car manually or it’s automatically doing the shifting itself, the shift should be pretty seamless. In fact, if you’re used to driving the vehicle, you may not even notice the shift between gears at all. However, if you feel your car vibrating or grinding when it shifts, you’ve definitely got transmission issues going on. Don’t ignore this telltale sign!

3) Delayed response when your car is in gear: Does it feel like your car takes a minute to respond – or maybe doesn’t respond at all – when you’re changing gears or moving into park, reverse, and drive? This delayed or missing response indicates a clear problem with this important car part. Bring it to Toyota of Orlando for service as soon as you can.

4) Leaking transmission fluid: This one should be pretty easy to spot – transmission fluid is usually reddish in color, so if you see a puddle underneath your ride it’s pretty indicative that you’ve got a leak in this system. However, a leak means that your system will soon run out and that can lead to much bigger and more expensive issues to deal with. Bring your car into our Toyota of Orlando service center so our techs can find the leak, repair it, and replace the missing fluid.

Leave the repairs to our Orlando Toyota service experts

Another thing to keep in mind is that this part is pretty complex – like we said, lots of bells and whistles. If you’re not well-versed with what’s going on under the hood, then you should avoid trying to make DIY repairs (that could potentially cost you even more money) and leave it to the experts.

Bring your ride in today! Toyota of Orlando’s service center is open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. You can also call to schedule an appointment ahead of time at (407) 298-0001.

Everyone wants to be a better defensive driver. This skill, after all, can help prevent accidents and collisions from ever happening (rather than you reacting to an accident or collision WHILE it’s happening, ending up with damage to your car and possible injury to you and your passengers). It’s an important driving habit to cultivate, but even your driving can only go so far. In order to be the best defensive driver possible, you need to make sure that your car is up for the job. Toyota of Orlando’s service center techs are here with tips – consider scheduling these four types of car maintenance to take the safety of your drive time up a notch.

What car care can make you a better defensive driver?

#1: Tire rotations and inspections. 

In order to be a good defensive driver, you need tires that you can depend on. This means they need to be filled to the proper PSI and have enough traction to sufficiently grip the road, even in slick conditions like rain, ice, or snow. You also want them to be in good physical condition so you’re not prone to a blowout. That’s why our techs at Toyota of Orlando highly recommend getting on a car care schedule for your tires. You’ll want to check the PSI regularly, as well as get tire rotations and inspections as needed.

#2: Headlight checks. 

You need your headlights to light your way, but did you know you also need them to make yourself more visible to other drivers? Your headlights should be turned on in the rain and snow as well as from dusk to dawn to make you a better defensive driver. Let our techs check them out – they can replace burnt-out bulbs and broken casings, as well as offer headlight restoration if your lights are looking a little hazy from age.

#3: Brake service. 

You ALWAYS want to be able to bring your car to a safe and efficient stop (whether you’re trying to improve your defensive driver skills or not). That’s why it’s so important to schedule routine brake service at Toyota of Orlando! Our techs will gladly inspect your entire brake system, replace worn-out brake pads, fix or replace worn rotors, add brake fluid, and take care of any other maintenance or repairs you need to keep your brakes in the best shape possible.

#4: Wiper replacement. 

Your windshield wipers are essential for ensuring you have a clear field of vision even in the worst of weather, but they do wear out. Part of being a responsible driver is ensuring that you replace them as needed. Our Orlando auto service techs are happy to inspect them for you and let you know when you’re due for a new set; then you can shop in our parts store for the right pair for your budget AND drive time needs.

Schedule your car maintenance at Toyota of Orlando

Ready to improve your defensive driver skills? Call Toyota of Orlando today at (407) 298-0001 to schedule your test drive, or stop by to talk to one of our techs at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Have you ever taken a look at the history of the Toyota Land Cruiser? It’s pretty illustrious – after all, it’s one of the original Toyota models from the very beginning. This versatile SUV first came to fruition way, way back in 1951, when it was developed to provide a rough-and-ready offroad ride for Japan’s military. Since then it’s evolved into a majorly adaptable SUV that offers not only the same exceptional off-road performance but also luxury features to ensure your drive time is everything you need it to be (and more). Needless to say, it’s been a popular fan favorite for decades and we don’t see it going anywhere soon.

Toyota Land Cruiser hits major milestone

And we’re not the only ones – Toyota recently hit a major milestone when it comes to the Toyota Land Cruiser. As of this month, 10 million units have been sold worldwide! The SUV has been in production for 68 consecutive years and is Toyota’s longest-selling model, even surpassing other popular options like the much-loved Corolla and Camry.

What’s not to love about this Orlando Toyota SUV?

So what gives this Toyota SUV so much longevity? Here are some of our favorite features on this exceptional new Orlando Toyota:

It’s rugged. You’ll find a 5.7L V8 engine under the hood, which guarantees 381 horsepower and 401 lb of torque. Additionally, the Toyota Land Cruiser offers features like an 8-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission, full-time four-wheel drive with Active Traction Control, a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, Torsen Limited-Slip Differential, and Multi-Terrain Select with CRAWL Control and Off-Road Turn Assist.

It’s luxurious. Sure, you can take it pretty much anywhere on OR off the pavement… but did you know the interior is about as luxurious as it gets? This Toyota SUV seats up to 8 and showcases a plush leather interior with four-zone and rear automatic climate control, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones, LED accent lighting, a center console with cooler box, and all-weather floor and cargo mats.

It’s stylish. This sleek SUV includes stylistic enhancements like LED exterior lighting, a chrome grille and other chrome exterior accents, 18″ split-spoke alloy wheels, a rear spoiler and roof racks, aluminum running boards, and optitron instrumentation with turquoise lighting.

It’s got the best of the best in technology. Staying entertained and connected is simple with features like an enhanced Multi-Terrain Monitor, Qi wireless charging for devices, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, the Smart Key System on all doors and the liftgate, HomeLink Universal Transceiver, and a Premium JBL Audio System with integrated navigation, Siri Eyes Free, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, advanced voice recognition,

As you can see, the Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser has everything you need for an above-the-board drive time… and Toyota seems to think so, too, because it only comes in one trim-level with all of the above-listed features.

It’s a terrible, sinking feeling when your check engine light comes on – how much is THIS going to cost you? That little amber light can cause a huge amount of anxiety, but before you start panicking, you should try to figure out WHY the light is on. Toyota of Orlando is here to give you some pointers straight from our auto service techs. Check them out below!

5 reasons you may see your check engine light come on

1) Your gas cap isn’t tightened all the way. 

This is the simplest (and cheapest!) reason that your check engine light may illuminate in the dash. When the gas cap is loose, your fuel tank loses much-needed pressure AND gas fumes can be released into the atmosphere. If the cap isn’t screwed in all the way, the light will come on to warn you. Before you do anything else, try tightening the cap to see if the light turns off.

2) You have a bad O2 sensor. 

If you have a bad O2 sensor, you’ll also notice that in addition to the check engine light being on, your fuel economy isn’t what it should be. This is because the O2 sensor actually measures the unburned oxygen in your fuel system and helps to regulate it. When it goes bad, your car won’t get the right fuel efficiency AND you run the risk of doing damage to your spark plugs and catalytic converter. Schedule Orlando auto service to get things back on track.

3) You have faulty spark plugs. 

Your spark plugs actually ignite the fuel inside your engine to get your car up and running. If your dash light comes on and you notice signs like reduced fuel efficiency, your car stalling out or refusing to start, or any other performance issues, it’s time to schedule Orlando Toyota service. Ignoring bad spark plugs can result in damage to your catalytic converter, which can be expensive to replace.

4) Your mass airflow sensor needs to be replaced. 

The mass airflow sensor measures the amount of air being pulled into the engine to figure out the correct fuel/air mixture to get things up and running for your vehicle. You’ll see your check engine light come on but also notice reduced fuel efficiency and poor performance from your vehicle. Get this important part fixed immediately because if you don’t, you can do costly damage to your O2 sensors, catalytic converter, and spark plugs.

5) Your catalytic converter has gone bad. 

If you have a bad catalytic converter, you’ll find that your car not only has reduced fuel economy and performance but also tends to run hotter than normal. The catalytic converter is essential because it converts harmful carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Schedule repairs for this part ASAP if it goes bad!

Let Toyota of Orlando get you back out on the road

Still not sure why your check engine light is on? Let our techs check things out for you – we’re open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. Call to schedule an appointment ahead of time at (407) 298-0001!

When it comes down to an emergency situation – and we’re talking a big one, like a trip to the hospital for someone who was injured – should you drive? Is it worth taking to the highway to get someone to the hospital when they need treatment, or should you call for an ambulance and emergency transport? Toyota of Orlando is here to help you weigh out the options and make an educated decision.

Know what questions to ask yourself when deciding if you should call an ambulance

Typically, you can ask yourself a list of questions to decide if it’s necessary to call an ambulance. Here are the main ones you should pinpoint:

• Is the person’s condition life-threatening?
• Will their injuries be aggravated if you move them?
• Is their injury or illness something that could potentially get worse on the way to the hospital?
• Could you be delayed by traffic, bad weather, or other unforeseen complications on the way there?
• Does the person need the emergency services available on the ambulance in terms of medicine or equipment?

Weigh out your emergency situation

If you answer “yes” to ANY of the above questions, then you need to dial 911 and request an ambulance for the situation. It’s not worth risking the drive to the hospital in your own vehicle. Why? Here are some of the main reasons:

• You could be delayed by traffic, rain, snow, an accident, and other things that you can’t necessarily predict, slowing your estimated arrival time and possibly making the person’s condition worse.
• You may find yourself rushing, which means you’re more likely to slam on the gas and brakes, forget basic road rules (like using turn signals and coming to complete stops at stop signs), and drive aggressively. All in all, rushing means you’re a lot more likely to not use safe driving habits and you can get into an accident on the way there, which can injure you AND make the person’s injuries significantly worse.
• When you call 911 and an ambulance arrives, the EMTs can start treating right away and treat the person all the way to the hospital. If you drive the person to the hospital yourself, you’ll have to go through the triage process and possibly wait to be admitted, losing crucial time that the person could already be getting treatment during.
• Additionally, the EMTs will know exactly where to take the person who needs treatment. What if the person is having a heart attack but the necessary equipment to treat the condition is out of commission at the hospital you would normally go to? The EMTs will know and can take you the right place to get the fastest, most efficient treatment.
• Emergency vehicles have sirens and lights in them to alert other drivers to get out of their way and clear a path. EMTs are also trained to drive in emergency situations without panicking… you probably aren’t.

Every week it seems there’s always something new coming down the pike in the automotive industry. For Toyota the news keeps coming and there’s always a future new Toyota coming to our dealership soon. Currently, the 2020 Toyota GR Supra is on our lot right now (yay!), the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition is coming soon, and other 2020 models are either coming soon or are currently available at our dealership. With so many new models available right now, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Combine that with all the news about Toyota and new vehicles that are coming soon and you can start to feel pretty inundated. Lucky for you, Toyota of Orlando is here with a concise guide on what’s new and current in the world of Toyota!

New Toyota Vehicles Coming Soon

1) 2020 Toyota 4Runner Venture Edition Officially Announced

By now you’re probably well aware of the imminent arrival of the new Toyota 4Runner with all-new infotainment and safety technology upgrades. But, while those upgrades sound nice, we want more from our beloved body-on-frame rugged SUV. Introducing, the officially announced Orlando new Toyota 4Runner Venture Edition. This limited edition model of the Toyota 4Runner is built on the TRD Off-Road model and includes all premium features of that model plus Yakima Megawarrior roof racks for additional storage up top.

2) A Second-Generation Toyota Mirai is on the Way for 2020!

While the world is still slow to adopt hydrogen fueling on a widespread scale, Toyota is doubling down and releasing a second-generation iteration of the stylish Toyota Mirai. Unfortunately, no designs or engineering specifications have been released and it’s difficult to pin down a release date. Hydrogen fueling has not been widely adopted and fueling stations (along with sales of the Mirai) are limited to California in North America. Unless hydrogen fueling stations are quickly introduced in the east, it’s unlikely that we’ll see the 2020 new Toyota Mirai available at Toyota of Orlando.

3) A New Toyota 86 is Coming!

It’s well-known that Toyota and Subaru have been frequent partners when it comes to vehicle development. They partnered to craft the iconic Orlando Toyota 86 (also known as the Subaru BRZ) and the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid using Toyota Prius technology. For a while now, fans of both of these iconic auto brands have been yearning for a new rendition of the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ and we’re getting one pretty soon! Toyota has increased its shares in Subaru from 16.83% to 20% and Subaru will soon become an “associated company of Toyota.” The two companies will possibly work on a pure EV in the future. But, the pair will most likely be collaborating on a new rendition of the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ. Not many details have been confirmed regarding this Orlando new Toyota vehicle, but we’re beyond excited to welcome it to the lot whenever it arrives.

Sometimes it can be difficult keeping up with all the new Toyota news, luckily Toyota of Orlando is always up to date on all things Toyota. If you have any questions or want to check out our current inventory, visit our website or in store at 3575 Vineland Road.

When it comes to drivers and their vehicle preferences in today’s day and age, SUVs reign supreme. While sedans are still wildly popular (shout out the Toyota Corolla and Camry), SUVs hold more capability and are now being engineered to pack on size and features all while being super fuel-efficient. They sport an ideal amount of space that allows drivers to maximize their cargo and passenger spaces and they still maintain a fuel efficiency level that makes driving them super affordable. Plus, with the rising popularity in off-roading and Toyota’s enthusiasm for this segment in the automotive industry, SUVs are getting tougher. This includes the family-favorite 2020 new Toyota RAV4! We’ve already seen the arrival of the rugged adventure edition of the Toyota RAV4 in 2019, but for the 2020 model year we’re getting something new.

Toyota is an auto manufacturer that’s never been one to go with the flow. Toyota is an auto manufacturer that has always made waves in the world of cars, especially when it comes to developing fuel-efficient technology. The Toyota Prius paved the way for electrified vehicle engineering all the way back in 1997 and the Toyota Mirai brought with it an all-new vehicle fuel source by using hydrogen back in 2015. Being at the forefront of new technology and cleaner fueling is something that Toyota takes great pride in and they don’t plan on giving up the crown anytime soon. While the Toyota Mirai has been paving the way for an all-new fueling source and it’s returning for the 2021 model year with all-new look that we think you’ll love! Toyota of Orlando has the latest details on the new Toyota Mirai and what you can expect.

What’s New with the Revolutionary Toyota Mirai?

The new Toyota Mirai has always been an elusive vehicle to those living in the Orlando area. This is because hydrogen fueling stations are currently limited to select areas like metropolitan California and Hawaii. Needless to say, we don’t currently sell the Mirai here at the dealership (but, we can dream right?). While we may not see a Mirai here anytime soon, staying up to date on Toyota’s new wave-making vehicle is still important and, who knows, maybe one day we’ll get hydrogen fueling stations on this coast. But, for now, here’s what to expect from the new Toyota Mirai:

• First off, the Toyota Mirai has been redesigned for its second generation. Inspired by sporty coupes and streamlined vehicles, the Mirai has been imbued with a look that both looks and feels good. Not only does this new vehicle look good, but it also sports more room than the first generation due to its longer and wider sedan design.
• Another major departure for the Orlando new Toyota Mirai is the change in the drivetrain from front to rear wheel. This will give drivers a sportier feel power coming from behind the driver.
• The interior has also been redesigned to match the exterior and drivetrain. The cabin will feature better exterior noise cancellation plus amazing technology upgrades like an 8-inch touchscreen combination meter, an optional digital rearview mirror, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 14-speaker JBL sound system.
• The new Toyota Mirai will also feature a higher range than its predecessor. Toyota’s target is to deliver a new Orlando Toyota vehicle that achieves a 30% longer range than the first generation Mirai to give drivers more time and mileage between fill-ups.
• The new model will still retain the convenient hydrogen fueling times from its predecessor generation.
• 20-inch alloy wheels will be an available style option for the 2021 Mirai. There haven’t been many other revealed style options.

The 2021 Orlando new Toyota Mirai is estimated to go on sale in later next year and we can’t wait to see the final product of this revolutionary vehicle. While Orlando may not be ready to welcome a hydrogen fueled vehicle, we may see this technology before we know it. Luckily, you can still shop for an incredibly fuel-efficient vehicle with us today! Come check out our inventory at 3575 Vineland Road.
