Toyota has been hot off the presses as of late and our fingers haven't stopped typing! The new Toyota Tundra has been revealed, a new multimedia system, so many new things to take in. While you may have been focusing on the big news of the last week, you might have missed this one. Someone paid a whopping $45,000 for a 1993 Toyota Tacoma pickup. Yes, you read that right. $45,000 for a pickup truck that came out in 1993. For more on this juicy and somewhat insane story, follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont. We'll also run you through the highlights for the Toyota Tacoma in 1993. Let's dive in! How Much Would You Pay for a Minty Fresh '93 Toyota Tacoma? A recent gem came onto the infamous eBay auction market and scored big. And we mean big. But, considering what it was, we're not surprised at the price. A Clermont 1993 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck hit with only 84 miles on the odometer is a rarity that is only seen every once in a while. This is a truck that's from a time when the odometer was a rotating dial, no digital anything here (Danny DeVito as Matilda's father would be wetting his pants right now). So, what's the story behind this hidden gem? We've got that here too. This Clermont Toyota Tacoma was originally purchased in 1993 and was driven for only 80 miles. It was then tucked away in a barn in New Hampshire for 28 years and was rediscovered in 2021. A Tacoma slept through so much, but now it's ready to tackle the open road once again. The second owner purchased it and only racked up 4 miles on the odometer to "see if it worked" and that's it. It was then put up on an eBay auction with a starting price of $20,000 and the rest is history. The seller described the Toyota Tacoma as having all original parts, aside from the battery, fuel tank, fuel pump, and fuel pickup assembly, and only a few minor dents in the body. All in all, this is a solid Clermont pickup truck that we can't blame someone for paying $45,000 for. As to what purpose this truck will fulfill, we're not sure. What Happened in 1993? With a 1993 copy of the Tacoma selling for so much more than it was originally worth (and worth more than many modern cars are), it makes one think, what's so special about the year of our lord, 1993? The Toyota Pickup, as it was known back in '93, is the precursor to the Clermont Toyota Tacoma and what became of the Hilux in North America. This truck sported 3 different engine options, with two 4-cylinders and a V6, and manual and automatic transmissions were available depending on the selected trim grade. The body design was fairly boxy in nature with various cabin sizes. The smallest 4-cylinder engine afforded drivers with 26 miles per gallon and 2WD and 4WD were offered as drivetrains. Overall, nothing super crazy from this model year. But, nostalgia is quite a drug, right? Ready to check out the new Toyota Tacoma here at Toyota of Clermont? Visit us at 16851 State Road 50 today!

With the recent reveal of the upcoming 2022 Toyota Tundra, there's a lot to digest and work through. Though, it's hardly work. New Toyota products put a pep in our step with every press release and product reveal. While the Tundra gave us a great look into what the new truck has to offer to avid fans, it also provided a good look into what Toyota is planning for the future. For starters, engines are going to be smaller but exude power like nothing we've seen so far. There will also be a bigger emphasis on electrification. But, the focus of this piece is one particular thing we noticed. The introduction of a new Toyota multimedia system. It looks sleek, new, dramatically updated. If you're interested in this futuristic upgrade, follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont while we dissect. ¡Dale! All New Toyota Multimedia System Incoming If we know our readers like we think we do, we know ya'll like bullets. After all, they're more digestible and easy to mentally process. Like little verbal hors d’oeuvres. Anyway, I digress. Let's dive into some quick things to know about the new Toyota multimedia system featured in the upcoming Clermont Toyota Tundra. First off, this new system has a new name. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) is an all new infotainment platform designed by Toyota to be in better competition with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Granted, both of these UI platforms are still able to be used on the upcoming Clermont Tundra, but drivers now have more options. The HMI Toyota multimedia system is designed to emphasize key sensory processes like sight, touch, and voice. Entune (while we love it) was, admittedly, dated and flawed in many ways. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provided much more accessibility for drivers, but HMI is aiming to turn that around. Processing power is increased 5-fold and the system, at least in the Clermont Toyota Tundra, is operated on a 8-inch or 14-inch touchscreen display. For the sake of convenience and optimal tactile function, the system still includes a volume knob, but uses pinch and zoom touch functions. The HMI Toyota multimedia system also uses a voice-activated Intelligent Assistant (eat your heart out, Siri) for easier use while behind the wheel. Two front of cabin microphones make using it simple for both driver and front passenger. The voice activated assistant creates an environment for conversation-like interaction between the system and driver. User profiles can be set through the HMI Clermont Toyota multimedia system. Profiles store essential info like noise settings, seating setting preferences, climate controls, and more. Logging into a user profile can be logged in via a connection to a smartphone via bluetooth or username and password login on the infotainment screen itself. Native navigation is far more advanced with over the air updates to mapping and points of interest. Maps can be used both online and offline in the event that you're driving through an area that drops service. Pretty incredible, right?

Now that you've successfully wished the other 5 days of this week away (this writer is guilty), the weekend has arrived! Luckily, we at Toyota of Clermont know that you, our readers, always look forward to catching up on the latest news from Toyota. This week is quite a doozy! We have good news, bad news, and some in-between news we know you'll love. So, strap in and get ready to catch up on the latest new Toyota news with us! Kick Off the Weekend with Some New Toyota News Toyota and EV Batteries The EV game is heating up. We know because the oh-so resistant automotive brand that refused to be an early adopter, Toyota, dedicated a huge investment ($14 billion huge) in developing solid-state EV batteries and sustainable production over the next decade. So, it's safe to say that Toyota is now dedicated, just took a little while is all. With that in mind, Clermont new Toyota has released projections regarding the target viability of their upcoming solid-state battery tech. They project that the battery for the upcoming bZ4X to retain charging capacity at 90% after 10 years. That's truly impressive. Most lithium-ion batteries today have a very short lifespan and lose their ability to hold charging capacity after a fairly short amount of time. These are merely projections, granted, but if they are to come to fruition, you best believe we're going to have some smart phones lasting forever too. The New Toyota Corolla Cross Meets Positive Praise Not that we didn't see this coming (we did), it's just nice to be validated. Toyota unveiled a new variety of Corolla not too long ago, it has since dropped for press outlets, and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive! In a bold move by Toyota, the Clermont Corolla Cross takes the lifeblood and things that make the Corolla great and turned it into an affordable crossover. Reviewers are speaking positively about it's ease to drive, interior comfort, familiar driving feel, great handling, and agreeable price. The new Toyota Corolla Cross is expected to arrive in Clermont sometime this fall. We're sure you'll fall in love with it too! Want a New Toyota Land Cruiser? Have Patience Padawan It's already bad enough that the rest of the world gets to continue to experience the Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser and North America has to miss out. Thanks drivers who didn't want to fork over $80k+ for one of those bad boys (sarcasm very much present here). But now the rest of the world will likely be in for the wait time of their lives. According to reports from an Australian automotive press outlet, Cars Guide, the estimated wait time from ordering to receiving a new 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser could be upwards of 4 years. WHAT?! Yes, about 4 years people will have to wait in certain new Toyota Land Cruiser target markets will have to wait. This is due to a combination of Toyota slashing global production by about 40%, ongoing coronavirus Delta variant spread, production plant closures, and a surging demand for the new Cruiser. If you live abroad and ordered a ZX or GR Sport trim grade Land Cruiser, patience is a virtue. Happy weekend everyone! For all Toyota news, keep it with us at Toyota of Clermont. See you next week!

The landscape of the automotive world is experiencing a regressive progression back to its EV roots while also charting a course forward. Within the next few years, roads will likely be filled with an equitable mix of EVs and ICEs and eventually, EVs might even be all that's offered. Such is the nature of advancement and technology. But, we digress. Toyota has often been seen as a laggard when it comes to EV production. And yes, to some extent this is true. Our favorite automotive manufacturer has often preferred to manufacture hybrid vehicles rather than pure electric cars. There are many motivations behind that, but we can say confidently that Toyota is aiming to increase its foothold in the EV game. Follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont while we decipher the latest electric car news. $14 Billion is a Big Price Tag for EV Batteries To provide some background on the situation, Toyota has been hesitant to invest fully in Clermont BEVs. The future is most certainly leaning that way, but the present is thoroughly inundated with gasoline-powered vehicles. It's understandable to have some hesitancy when approaching a future image so different from the present. But, it looks like Toyota is going to continue to cover all its bases with this latest bit of news. The bZ4X and Solid-State Batteries Toyota has put up quite a large investment in new battery technology that will likely provide it with ample infrastructure going forward. The name of the game for Toyota is Clermont electric car solid-state batteries. In theory, these batteries are the next advancement of lithium-ion technology. Ideally, this technology will be more easily produced, and on a larger scale, they hold a charge for a longer period of time, and they have better longevity compared to their former lithium-ion electric car battery iterations. Toyota's $14 billion, yes $14 BILLION, investment in the technology aims to not only set up the technology for solid-state battery power but to establish amplified production efforts and include the technology in many new upcoming Toyota models. The production investment estimates a 30% reduction in overall cost through the use of less costly materials and production structures. The development of solid-state battery technology is estimated to stretch through 2030 and involves securing 200 gigawatt-hours of battery supply. Toyota's overall electrification plan includes the rolling out of 15 dedicated BEVs, 7 of which will include the "Beyond Zero" moniker, and around 70 total electrified models. Between now and 2025, Toyota plans to introduce a majority of these new electric cars to the public by 2025 and follow up with their new solid-state battery technology by 2030. It's unclear if the earlier iterations of the Clermont bZ4X will include a solid-state lithium-ion battery or if newer hybrids will include updated battery technology. But, we do know that Toyota intends to use this strategy to ensure a solid market entrance and to ensure that electric cars become a mainstay in the automotive market. All caught up on Toyota news?

We know we briefed you on the latest new Toyota news earlier this week, but we didn't quite tell you everything. Not our fault though, Toyota likes to give us a few surprises every now and then to keep things interesting. Well, it's the end of the week and we at Toyota of Clermont have just the right send-off. Check out some more Toyota news stories and have a great weekend! New Toyota Stories Before the Weekend Arrives 2022 4Runner TRD Sport Coming Soon Everyone's favorite beefy off-roader, the new Toyota 4Runner is returning to Toyota of Clermont for the 2022 model year. For the impending model year, Toyota is taking this new ride up a notch by introducing a new trim grade, the TRD Sport. Here's what you can expect to see on this unique grade: All trim grades and models will feature standard LED high and low beam lighting. The SR5 Premium, TRD Pro, and Limited trim grades will include Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert safety features. To better suit on-road driving, the Clermont new Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport will include an updated suspension system feature called Cross-Linked Relative Absorber System (X-REAS). This unique feature automatically adjusts the damping force of the shock absorbers during cornering and driving on uneven surfaces. TRD Sport models will be available as either 2WD or part-time 4WD with a 2-speed transfer case. 9.0-inches of ground clearance will be standard on the 2WD models while 9.6-inches will be included on 4WD models. Instead of the 17-inch wheels on the SR5 trim, of which the TRD Sport is based, this new trim grade will include 20-inch dark gray accented wheels. Toyota Safety Sense P is standard on this Clermont new Toyota trim grade. Cosmetically, this trim grade is set apart with the inclusion of a TRD-style hood scoop and front spoiler. Black roof rails will be included along with several TRD embossed accent pieces throughout the interior of the vehicle. Lime Rush will be a new paint color option. That about wraps up this upcoming new Toyota 4Runner. Will you be checking it out when it arrives in Clermont? Big Changes Coming for the Big Bad Sequoia When it comes to the Clermont new Toyota Sequoia, many would say it exists in an awkward place on Toyota's lineup. It lies somewhere between the 4Runner and Land Cruiser and resembles a truck without the bed. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it does mean that improvements need to be made to make it stand out from the crowd. With the Land Cruiser retiring from North American roads (RIP), it's time for the Sequoia to enjoy its time in the spotlight. Here are some rumors of what could be coming for Toyota's larger than life SUV in the coming model year or two: The new Toyota Sequoia will likely share a drivetrain and platform with the upcoming Tundra. This means a likely twin-turbo V6 engine and a possible hybrid version. Aesthetically, expect it to look lightyears different compared to its past iterations. The interior will likely be upgraded as well to bring a more modern feel and enhanced comfort. Excited to check out every new Toyota coming to Toyota of Clermont?

We at Toyota of Clermont would like to thank you, our readers, for always keeping up to date on the latest when it comes to Toyota. Our fave automotive brand (What? Did you think we loved Honda?) is always staying active in the chat with plenty of newsworthy information to share. This week we have an odd-looking Hilux, a virtual tour of the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum, and the rumored launch of hydrogen-powered Prius and Corolla models coming soon. Without further adieu, check out the latest Toyota News with us right here! Newsworthy News All Day The Odd Duckling Hilux Normally, we're pretty much simps for Toyota news. Guilty. But, this one has us scratching our heads a little. Street trucks are a niche segment of pickups that don't get enough exposure. The lower stance, minimal wheel gap, fender flares, and more. The aesthetic of these trucks is evocative of something we wish was more common today. But, Toyota's iteration is a bit of an ugly duck. This Hilux, a Gazoo Racing project destined for Thailand, is called the Lo-Floor and a low floor it doth have. It sports an almost full inch shorter suspension all around, but terribly small wheels and tires that leave too much gap between the tires and the weld. This could have been an excellent Tacoma X-Runner replacement we'd never see, but we gotta say keep it on this one. Hydrogen Power in a Prius AND a Corolla The future always looks bright, so full of possibilities. In this case, the future is full of hydrogen. Toyota is aiming to introduce EVs, but on a smaller scale than many of its auto manufacturer counterparts. Instead, hydrogen is being considered the primary path forward. The Clermont Toyota Prius and Corolla are considered likely candidates to be retrofitted with hydrogen-based fueling systems. This will likely happen sometime during or after the Clermont 2023 model year. In other hydrogen Toyota news, our faves are also planning on creating a heavy-duty truck fuel cell module assembly plant in Kentucky. Take a (Virtual) Tour Through the History of the Land Cruiser The Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser has quite a storied history. Unfortunately, some people in North America took that for granted (we're bitter, but we understand). Pettiness aside, we're here with some exciting Toyota news! You can actually see the history of the Land Cruiser in a way that's like walking through a museum combined with combing through a Wikipedia page. The Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Museum is now offering a 3D virtual tour extension on its website that's free to access. You know, if you can't make the trip to Salt Lake City. This museum is one of the most comprehensive collections of the Clermont Toyota Land Crusier out there. Just about every mainline and spinoff model is present under one roof and it can all be seen online at your convenience. In the spirit of Toyota news and history, we highly recommend you check this one out! Thanks for checking out this week's Toyota news! For more, keep it here with Toyota of Clermont and visit our dealership at 16851 State Road 50.

The aesthetic of these trucks is evocative of something we wish was more common today. But, Toyota's iteration is a bit of an ugly duck. This Hilux, a Gazoo Racing project destined for Thailand, is called the Lo-Floor and a low floor it doth have. It sports an almost full inch shorter suspension all around, but terribly small wheels and tires that leave too much gap between the tires and the weld. This could have been an excellent Tacoma X-Runner replacement we'd never see, but we gotta say keep it on this one. Hydrogen Power in a Prius AND a Corolla The future always looks bright, so full of possibilities. In this case, the future is full of hydrogen. Toyota is aiming to introduce EVs, but on a smaller scale than many of its auto manufacturer counterparts. Instead, hydrogen is being considered the primary path forward. The Clermont Toyota Prius and Corolla are considered likely candidates to be retrofitted with hydrogen-based fueling systems. This will likely happen sometime during or after the Clermont 2023 model year. In other hydrogen Toyota news, our faves are also planning on creating a heavy-duty truck fuel cell module assembly plant in Kentucky. Take a (Virtual) Tour Through the History of the Land Cruiser The Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser has quite a storied history. Unfortunately, some people in North America took that for granted (we're bitter, but we understand). Pettiness aside, we're here with some exciting Toyota news! You can actually see the history of the Land Cruiser in a way that's like walking through a museum combined with combing through a Wikipedia page. The Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Museum is now offering a 3D virtual tour extension on its website that's free to access. You know, if you can't make the trip to Salt Lake City. This museum is one of the most comprehensive collections of the Clermont Toyota Land Crusier out there. Just about every mainline and spinoff model is present under one roof and it can all be seen online at your convenience. In the spirit of Toyota news and history, we highly recommend you check this one out! Thanks for checking out this week's Toyota news!
