Plenty of people have cars that aren’t meant for everyday driving. Maybe you have a new Toyota Supra sitting in your garage that’s meant for the track only, or maybe you have a vintage Toyota that you’re restoring slowly as you collect parts. Maybe you have a vehicle like a Toyota truck that’s for work only and when you’re not on the job, sits in the driveway. However, regardless of whether or not you have a “for-fun” or “for-work” vehicle, you’re going to need a daily driver to get you where you need to go on a routine basis. Toyota of Orlando is here with tips on how to choose the right new Toyota for your everyday driving needs.

choosing a new Toyota

Four things to consider when shopping for a daily driver

Tip #1: Think about fuel efficiency. Is fuel efficiency going to be a factor for you, or are you OK with getting lower MPGs? Make sure you consider this before you decide on a new Toyota. If you have a long commute or don’t want to pay a ton for fuel, you may want to consider a hybrid as your daily driver, or at least an Orlando Toyota that gets better fuel efficiency.

Tip #2: Consider your interior space and comfort needs. How big of an interior do you need for your daily driver? Will you be part of a carpool or carting kids to school? Do you need a backseat big enough to accommodate more than one car seat? And what about cargo space – do you need an enclosed cargo area for your everyday gear or will an open truck bed suffice for what you’re hauling around town? Choose a new Toyota that’s big enough (or compact enough, conversely) for all of your interior space requirements. You also want to ensure that the interior of the car is comfortable and ergonomically laid out – you’re going to be spending a lot of time behind the wheel.

Tip #3: Always take performance into consideration. Which performance capabilities do you need on a daily basis? If you only tow, haul or go off-road here and there, your daily driver may not need these particular performance capabilities. You could probably get by having a “special” vehicle for these requirements. However, if you’re someone who has to tow or haul every day for work or finds yourself going off the pavement daily to get to your rural destination, make sure you factor that into your final purchasing decision.

Tip #4: Take into account how long you plan on keeping the car.  How long are you going to keep your vehicle? Make sure you do your research on reliability and resale value if you’re going to keep it for a long time and possibly sell or trade it down the road. You’ll also want to take into consideration whether you should purchase or lease the vehicle based on your daily mileage and how long you want to have it in your possession.

Is your morning commute slowly becoming the worst part of your day? Whether it’s because of the bad traffic, the long distance you have to drive, or just simply the fact that you’re not a morning person to begin with, morning drive time can be less than ideal. However, your time on the road defines how the rest of your day is going to go so you want it to be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Toyota of Orlando is here with tips!

Toyota of Orlando tips

Six tips for making your commute more enjoyable

#1. Leave earlier so you can slow things down. Morning commutes can be stressful enough without the added pressure of racing the clock. Leave 10-15 minutes earlier and give yourself extra time to get where you need to go so you’re not speeding or driving recklessly. If nothing else, it’s 10 extra minutes to hang out in the parking lot and scroll.

#2: Bring snacks and a drink. We don’t recommend eating a full breakfast in the car (hello, distracted driving), but it might make you feel better to have a hot coffee in a travel mug and a pop tart to keep you company during your commute. Bringing snacks and a drink can make your drive time a little more pleasant, giving you something to look forward to.

#3: Get into a new podcast or audiobook. What better way to pass the time in the car than to find a new podcast or audiobook to listen to? Music is great, but it can get old if you have an extra-long commute. You can also take the time to learn a new language or just listen to the news and catch up with what’s going on in the world (although a caveat – the news can be stressful).

#4: Catch up on phone calls. When’s the last time you called your mom? If she’s an early bird, use your commute time to give her a ring. This time is perfect for catching up with people you may not have time to talk to during the day. But remember – use the hands-free tech in your Orlando Toyota so you can keep your attention on the road.

#5: Change up your route. It can get stale taking the same route day in and day out. Why not alter your route to give yourself a change of scenery? This is also a great way to discover new restaurants, shops, etc. in your city.

#6: Keep your car clean. There’s nothing worse than driving in a dirty car, especially when you have a long commute ahead of you. Keep your car detailed and free of dirt, dust, and trash. Trust us, this can make all the difference when you get behind the driver’s seat in the morning! And if you don’t have the time (or inclination) to keep your vehicle clean, you can always bring it in for detailing at Toyota of Orlando.

Off-roaders, this one’s for you – Toyota has officially created a new Toyota Hilux truck that can tackle any terrain, including the Arctic tundra. Toyota of Orlando has the scoop on this all-new off-road solution and we’re here to share.

Meet the newest model of the Toyota Hilux – the AT35

The AT35 – as this new Toyota Hilux has been dubbed – is a result of Toyota’s collaboration with Arctic Trucks to create a vehicle that explorers, scientists, and adventurists alike could use to go farther than ever before when exploring the Arctic. Obviously, the Arctic contains some pretty tough terrain – it’s rocky, uneven, full of water, mud, and ice, and has a polar climate (temps go well into the negatives on a regular basis). Plus, it can be dark quite a bit of the time, making terrain even more challenging to handle.

Tackle Arctic terrain in this incredible new Toyota truck

Thus, Toyota and Arctic Trucks had to make some significant changes to the existing Toyota Hilux to make it adaptable and comfortable enough to handle such tough terrain. They started with the X model of the Toyota Hilux in a double cab. It’s a very user-friendly vehicle that’s actually sold on the European market. Here are some of the upgrades and edits they made:

  • A re-engineered frame with new suspension that was jointly developed with Bilstein
  • New 35″ all-terrain tires and high, punched-out wheel arches – these bigger tires make the truck more capable of tackling tough terrain and maintaining high speeds while doing it (and it makes it more comfortable for passengers, too).
  •  More height – this truck will be 2.5″ taller than its predecessor and have approach and departure angles of 38 and 29 degrees (these angles were increased by nine and three degrees)
  • A 2.8L four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (which is actually standard in the regular model) that allows for 204 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque
  • Re-geared front and rear differentials for added torque when necessary
  • A six-speed automatic transmission
  • A payload capacity of 2.321 lbs and a towing capacity of 7,716 lbs

Plus, you can add options like mud-terrain tires, an air compressor for filling up low tires, skid plates, and more.

And the best news? This Toyota truck will actually be FOR SALE. You can buy it in England starting this year and it starts at about $25,800 before taxes. It also comes with a five-year/100,000 mile warranty as it’s a factory-authorized vehicle, not just a concept car.

Want to get your hands on it? You’ll need to head overseas but trust us – if you want a new Toyota truck that can handle almost anything – including intense Arctic terrain – this is the ride for you.

However, if you’d rather shop stateside, check out our new Toyota trucks at Toyota of Orlando. Both the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Tacoma are capable of taking on some pretty tough terrain if you like to get off the pavement. Come see what your options are and get behind the wheel to see if you like how they handle!

When you buy a car – whether new or used – you’re going to have to sign a bunch of paperwork. Just like any other large purchase, you’ve got a lot of ground to cover in terms of legally transferring ownership of the item to yourself! One of the most important things you’ll sign when you buy an Orlando Toyota is the car title, and Toyota of Orlando is here to explain exactly what it is, the different types of titles, and what to look for in a title when you’re buying a preowned vehicle.

Toyota of Orlando tips

What is a car title?

A car title comes from the state in which you buy the car. It contains information like:

  • The identifying information for your car. This means elements like the make, model, year, VIN number, etc.
  • The license plate number now attached to your car.
  • Technical specifications, like the weight of the car.
  • The owner’s information, including name and address.

And if you’re financing your car, the car title will include the lienholder’s (who you borrowed the money from) information. This is so the state can ensure that before you officially sell the car to someone else, the debt will be paid to the lienholder.

The four types of car titles

There are four types of car titles that you should be aware of, especially if you’re buying a used vehicle in Orlando. Here are the basics:

Type 1: Clean

If the car is clean, it means that it’s in excellent shape structurally and there are no issues with the title or the vehicle itself. You’ll always find this type of title attached to a new car, and it’s a good thing to look for when you shop for something preowned.

Type 2: Clear 

A clear car title means there’s no debt against the car – the person who owns it owns it outright and doesn’t have a lienholder.

Type 3: Salvage 

If the car title is a salvage title, it means that the car has been wrecked – and badly – in the past. Basically, the car was deemed totaled by the insurance company. The damage to these cars was so extensive that they’re typically not safe to drive, and you’ll have a hard time getting insurance coverage for it, so buyer, beware.

Type 4: Rebuilt or reconstructed

If a salvage car has been repaired and rebuilt so it’s safe to drive again, the salvage title will be upgraded to rebuilt or reconstructed. However, you should check with your insurance company to ensure they’ll cover rebuilt cars and also keep in mind that it can be difficult to resell these cars.

car paperwork

Your car title will also indicate if your car was branded a lemon in the past according to the “Lemon Law”, which means the buyer was actually able to return it to the dealer because the car doesn’t meet standards for quality and safety.

What if you lose your paper title? It happens, but it’s not the end of the world. Gather up info like the make, model, VIN, your driver’s license, any lienholder information, and some receipt of how you paid for the car and you can get a duplicate title sent to you. And remember, if you finance a car, you won’t get the title right away because you don’t own it outright. Instead, it’ll be mailed to you when the car is paid off completely.

We all know that Toyota is dedicated to keeping their vehicle lineup wide and varied, as well as full of green options. They’ve introduced hybrid versions of many of their popular models, ranging from the compact Toyota Corolla Hybrid to the spacious and stylish Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Long gone are the days where the Toyota Prius family was the only eco-friendly option up for grabs. And the automaker just announced that they’re taking things up another level – they’ll introduce three more EV options in the year 2021 alone.

Orlando Toyota plug-in

Will we see new electric vehicles at Toyota of Orlando?

So far, our Orlando Toyota dealership doesn’t have much in the way of details. We know that one of the vehicles will be a plug-in (PHEV) and two of them will be all-electric cars (BEV). That’s pretty much it, though – we don’t know if these new electric options will be variants of current models or if Toyota will be introducing never-before-seen models into the lineup (or reviving old favorites, as they did with the Toyota Venza this year). If we had to speculate, we’d say that at least one of these electric vehicles will be an SUV (and the Toyota RAV4 Prime already exists, so we think all-electric is likely). It’s also quite possible that Toyota will make an electric version of their best-selling Toyota Camry. Not to mention, the 2022 Toyota Tundra has been kept under wraps pretty firmly, so there’s a chance that it might go green when finally unveiled. As we said, it’s all speculation. But we’ll keep you posted as more details unfold!

Should you drive an all-electric vehicle or a plug-in vehicle?

Thinking about changing up your drive time and going green? To get you prepped and ready to get behind the wheel of an electric car, let’s talk about how plug-ins differ from all-electric vehicles. Here are the basics:

  • Plug-in cars, like the Orlando Toyota Prius Prime, can literally be plugged in to charge up. These vehicles can run on electric power alone, but the range is typically pretty short (anywhere from 15-50 miles at a go). Luckily, when the electric charge runs out they can swap over to a gasoline-powered engine under the hood – plug-ins actually have two different drivetrains.
  • All-electric cars, on the other hand, run solely on electric charge and don’t have a gasoline-powered engine under the hood. These vehicles have longer ranges than plug-ins – they can usually go several hundred miles on one charge so you won’t be left in a lurch as long as you keep an eye on things.

Which is better? Well, they both have their perks and drawbacks. All-electric vehicles have zero emissions and are extremely green, clean, and also cheap to operate since you don’t have to pay for any gasoline. They also offer tax credits in some states, and are usually cheaper to maintain since there are fewer parts involved than in a gasoline-power car. Plug-ins, however, have a greater range and you can go much farther without having to worry about charging your car. Additionally, it can take anywhere from 25 minutes to a few hours to charge an electric car, which means it’s not as quick and efficient as pulling into a gas station and fueling up.

See which of these green cars better suits your lifestyle – stop by Toyota of Orlando to get more information and get behind the wheel of one of our plug-ins. We’re conveniently located at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall. You can also call our Orlando Toyota dealership for more info at (407) 298-4500.

Car maintenance…. we know. Just the thought of it can make you groan out loud. Whether you bring your car to a mechanic or DIY it, it’s going to cost you time and money to take care of the necessities. And even though you don’t have to schedule things like oil changes and tire rotations very often, it can still be a pain. Well, today we’re here to talk to you about more car maintenance – daily car maintenance, to be exact. But before you throw your hands up in the air and say you’ve got enough on our plate, hear us out!

Toyota of Orlando tips

Do you REALLY have to do daily car maintenance?

Car care is a critical part of car ownership. And believe it or not, scheduling recommended maintenance every few months just isn’t going to cut it when it comes down to keeping your car in the best shape. Luckily, however, daily car maintenance doesn’t have to be time-consuming or costly. Check out this list of quick car care items you should check off your daily to-do list from our Orlando auto service experts.

#1: Clean all of the trash out of your car. This should be a no-brainer – leaving trash in your car, especially wrappers and cups, can attract pests like insects and rodents. Every day before you lock up, make sure you’ve emptied your car of trash. To make things quick and easy, hang a trash bag on the back of the seat or keep everything in a cupholder so you can grab it and go.

#2: Do a walkaround of the exterior. Do a walkaround of the exterior of your car every single day. And when we say walkaround, we mean just that – walk around your car once before you hop into the driver’s seat. Look for any issues or problems, as well as any accident damage that may have arisen without your knowledge (like an errant shopping cart collision).

#3: Inspect your tires while you walk around. While you’re conducting your daily walkaround, our Orlando auto service experts recommend that you take a look at your car tires. Just glance at them to ensure they’re not flat and don’t have any noticeable damage like bulges, blisters, or punctures.

#4: Glance at your dashboard lights. When you turn your car on, all of your dash lights should illuminate and then turn off. If any of them stays illuminated, then you may have a problem. Be sure to address it at Toyota of Orlando’s service center as soon as you can; ignoring these issues can lead to bigger and costlier problems down the road.

#5: Make sure your mirrors are aligned. Make sure your mirrors – your side mirrors and rearview mirror – are properly aligned before you hit the road to ensure your safety and the safety of other drivers.

#6: Don’t drive around on empty. Life gets hectic, we know, but try to keep at least a quarter tank of gas in your car at all times. Driving around on empty is bad for your car’s fuel pump and the engine in general.

How do you decide on the right car engine?

Before you can pinpoint which car engine is going to be the right solution for your needs, you have to think about your driving habits. Here are a few questions to ask yourself so you can narrow the field:

  • Where are you driving? Are you making a daily commute to and from work and school and not much else? If so, a smaller and more fuel-efficient car engine should suffice.
  • Are you in need of interior space? If you’re head of the carpool or need an interior cargo area for gear, then you might want to consider a slightly larger engine (you’ll usually find these on the bigger cars, anyway).
  • Do you need to haul or tow on a regular basis? If so, a larger car engine is probably going to be your go-to so you have the horsepower and torque you need.

Once you’ve answered those questions, it’s time to start considering options. Here are the three main types of car engines that you’ll find at Toyota of Orlando when you shop our inventory.

Three types of car engines to consider in your next Orlando Toyota

4-cylinder: This type of car engine is one you’ll find in smaller Orlando Toyotas; it’s built for driving and carrying light amounts of cargo. These types of engines are pretty fuel-efficient and are often used in hybrid drivetrains, paired with electrical motors. Some common Orlando Toyotas that have this engine include the Corolla, Yaris, and Camry.

6-cylinder or V6: This is more of a mid-sized car engine that offers a lot of versatility. It’s more fuel-efficient than a large engine, but still gives you more power than a 4-cylinder if you need to do some light towing or hauling (or like putting the pedal to the metal). You’ll often find these engines in the Toyota Highlander and Tacoma, as well as some models of the Camry.

8-cylinder or V8: This is a large and powerful engine that’s great for towing, hauling, and any other drive-time task that requires power. However, there’s a trade-off. While you have a lot of power at your disposal, your fuel efficiency is going to go down. This type of engine is currently found in the Toyota Land Cruiser, Tundra, and Sequoia models.

You did it – you finally signed the dotted line on a new Toyota car and now you’re ready to hit the road. However, no matter how comfortable your new ride is, it may not feel like sitting in a recliner after a few hours at the wheel. And if you’re going to be in the driver’s seat on a routine basis for your daily drive time, you want to make sure you’re not uncomfortable. That’s why it’s important to know how to make your vehicle as pleasant as possible to drive (and without spending a ton of money or time on it). Toyota of Orlando is here with tips – check it out!

driving tips

Four ways to make your drive time as pleasant as possible

1. Make sure your seat is adjusted properly. Did you know that there’s actually a proper way to sit in the driver’s seat? And luckily, a lot of our new Toyotas come with power adjustable seats that also have memory settings so you can program in your position. When you sit, your thighs should touch the back of the seat, but the backs of your knees shouldn’t. You want to make sure that your feet touch the pedals with ease and you’re not stretching for them or cramped, and also that you can comfortably reach the wheel. Your chin should be as high as the steering wheel and your back should be straight, and your hips should be as high as your knees.

2. Keep the air as clean as possible. If you’re spending a lot of time in your car, you want to ensure that the air you’re breathing is as clean and fresh as possible. This means checking and changing your cabin air filter at the recommended intervals. And if you start to smell a weird or musty odor inside the cabin, bring your car in right away so our Orlando Toyota service techs can check things out under the hood.

3. Ensure your cabin is set to the right temperature. There’s probably not much worse than going through an Orlando summer without air-conditioning in your car. Keeping your cabin at the right temperature is integral to a comfortable drive time, so make sure you stay on top of routine car care for your air-conditioning system. If you notice an issue with your A/C, heat, or defroster, come to Toyota of Orlando and let our techs try to pinpoint what’s going on.

4. Splurge a little. If you’re uncomfortable at all, it might be time to splurge on a few accessories for your new Toyota. You may want to consider padded seat covers or lumbar support for comfort, or a phone holder to keep your phone in plain view. You may even want to spend your cash on other car accessories designed for convenience and efficiency, like a lap desk if you work from the car or a condiment holder if you’re a frequent guest at Chick-Fil-A.

Having a car emergency like a flat tire or breakdown is never a fun experience, but it’s even more stressful if it happens on the highway. You’re moving at a high speed and so are all of the cars around you, and you’re usually not close to a gas station or mechanic – in fact, you could be miles from the nearest exit. And if you’re on a rural highway, it’s even scarier. Toyota of Orlando is here with tips to help you deal with a car emergency on the highway and stay safe.

Orlando Toyota tips

Four tips for dealing with a car emergency on a highway

Tip #1: Pull over. If you start having a car emergency like a tire blowout or engine failure, pull off the road as quickly as you can. You should look for a flat shoulder to stop on and get your vehicle as far away from the road as you safely can so you’re farther away from traffic.

  • Keep in mind that if you have to change a tire, you want the shoulder to be flat and sand-free. If there’s nowhere to pull off (like on some sections of I-4), you should try to make it to the next exit or at least the next shoulder, even if it’s going to do more damage. It’s NEVER a good idea to stop your car on the highway in a lane unless you have no other option (like in the event of a car fire).
  • Turn your wheel away from the road after you park – this way if you were hit from behind, your car isn’t pushed into traffic. You should also set your parking brake.

Tip #2: Make yourself as visible as possible. Now’s the time to make your car as visible as you possibly can, especially if you’re driving at night and have a car emergency. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers to your presence, and if you have them, set up roadside flares or triangles. If you’re really in a bind, you can also call the police. They likely won’t be able to get your car back on the road, but they can turn on their lights and give you added visibility.

Tip #3: Get back in the car. If you’re in it for the long haul and need to wait for a tow truck, it’s best to get back in your car. This way you’re not anywhere near the traffic on the road. Lock the doors and keep an eye on the road around you while you wait for help to arrive.

Tip #4: Call for assistance if needed. If you’re dealing with a car emergency that you can fix on your own on the side of the highway, it’s time to call for help. Call for a tow truck or roadside assistance to come to pick you up and get your car where it needs to go to get fixed.

If you’re thinking about buying a used Toyota, you know you’re getting a high-quality and reliable preowned vehicle. After all, the best new cars make the best used cars, right? There’s an implicit level of longevity and durability in Toyotas across the board, so buying a preowned one is never a bad idea. However, there are several years that – according to drivers and industry insiders alike – stand out and shine amongst their siblings. Check out this quick Orlando Toyota guide to the best used Toyotas you can put in your driveway today.

The 2016 Toyota Camry

preowned Toyota

The Toyota Camry is a best-seller on a global level, so any model year that you buy is going to be a win-win. However, 2016 truly stands out from the rest. Earlier models had the potential for engine failure (which means expensive repairs), but this model is smooth sailing when it comes to performance. It’s also got an updated and modern aesthetic inside and out, better technology than earlier models, and updated safety technology. You’re looking at around $15k for a model with 30,000 miles, which is a great bet considering you’ll be able to drive this model for years (maybe even decades) to come.

The 2015 Toyota Tacoma

used trucks for sale

When you’re shopping for a used car, you want one that’s going to retain its value well so when it’s time to sell or trade in down the road it gives you more bang for your buck. The Toyota Tacoma is renowned across the industry for doing just that and is considered one of the best used Toyota models for holding resale value. The 2015 model is a particular favorite among drivers; it looks good, has an efficient engine under the hood, has updated entertainment and safety technology, and has the versatility you need for a busy life.

The 2014 Toyota Corolla 

2014 Toyota

The Toyota Corolla has been a fan favorite for decades – we mean DECADES – and we’re not surprised. It’s fuel-efficient, compact, fun to drive, and stylish in a sporty, unique way. Any model year will serve you well, but the 2014 model was redesigned for an even sportier look inside and out. It’s also got more updated technology and safety features, gets around 42 mpg on the highway, and has a cheap pricepoint to start at – typically, you can get your hands on one of these used Toyotas for $10K or less.

The 2016 Toyota RAV4

used Toyotas

Looking for a family-friendly ride with a little more space? Consider a used Toyota RAV4 – specifically, a 2016 model year. SUVs tend to run a bit on the pricy side, even when used, but this model year precedes a redesign and as such, is more affordable than others. Plus, it’s got reliable and fuel-efficient performance features, new tech, and great safety elements. You can likely find one for between $15-18k, depending on the mileage.

The 2008 Toyota Highlander 

2008 Toyota

Trying to budget a little harder and looking for something a bit older to put in the garage? Check out the 2008 Highlander. While the mileage will likely be higher on an older model, it doesn’t mean you’re not getting a reliable ride. This particular model year fixed all of the engine issues that the 2006 model had to contest with, and it also has a sporty V6 engine under the hood for 270 horsepower. Plus, it’s incredibly spacious and comfortable inside. As long as you stick to your routine car care, you should easily be able to drive this used Toyota for many more miles to come.
