They say the clothes make the person. Whether you believe that or not, we can definitely say that paint can often make all the difference when it comes to a car's style. Think about it! The first thing you see on a vehicle is the body and the paint. The unique ways the shades and hues reflect light, sinch the front end and sides, and makes certain elements on the exterior just pop. Okay, maybe we're getting a little too into it right now. But, we just really enjoy a good paint job and Toyota has quite a few unique options on its color palette. If you're looking for Toyota's peak creativity when it comes to car paint, look no further than the TRD SUVs and trucks. Here at Toyota of Clermont, we love watching paint dry and we're cataloging some of the most unique paint colors Toyota has ever done. Grab a brush and let's dive in! Can You Paint with All the Car Paint Colors of Toyota? Like we said, Toyota has quite a few unique color options to choose from when it comes to your car paint. Not knocking the colors of the lineup, they're excellent. But something about the TRD models just makes Toyota designers be extra and we're here for it! Here are a few of the incredibly cool colors Toyota has used: Electric Lime Metallic Anything with "electric" and "lime" in it means it's going to be cool. The 2022 model year for the Toyota Tacoma didn't mark a huge refresh or design overhaul. But, fans of the Clermont truck were clamoring for news about the new TRD exclusive color. And news they got! Electric Lime Metallic is the upcoming 2022 Toyota Tacoma car paint color and it's striking, bold, and eye-catching. Inferno Named akin to the Divine Comedy itself, Inferno was unique to the TRD trims of the 2015 - 2018 model years. This Clermont car paint color wasn't quite red and wasn't quite orange either. If anything it looked like a fiery red shade (because it's straight fire). If we could write fire emojis here, we would. Army Green It's not often you see a vehicle in green or any variation thereof. But, when you do, you've got to admit it's ultra cool. Army green was available starting in the 2020 model year and it was highly desired. Some would-be drivers were stuck on waitlists for months to get this rough and tough car paint color on their Clermont TRD model. Tough to buy and tough on the vibes. Voodoo Blue Making its way to the lineup back in 2019, the Voodoo Blue paint color was definitely blue. Like Elvis Presley "Blue Christmas" blue. As far as Clermont TRD car paint colors go, this one is truly unique and definitely catches eyes wherever it goes. Cement In keeping car colors gray-t (get it?), cement buffs the lineup with more toughness and classic styling. Gray is always a safe bet color to go with when it comes to your Clermont car paint color. But cement is just something special. Ready to get into a unique Toyota model today?

The Upcoming Chicago Auto Show The Chicago Auto Show is back and there are a slew of new Toyota models that are going to be showcased. Here are a few of the Clermont models we can expect to see at this year's show: 2022 Corolla Cross: Announced not too long ago, the Corolla Cross will be making a grand appearance in the windy city. This new take on the iconic and favorite Corolla formula sets itself apart by adopting a compact SUV bodystyle. It's built on Toyota's new high-strength TNGA-C platform and reps 169 horsepower coming from a 2.0-liter Dynamic Force engine. L, LE, and XLE trim grades will be available and will include a variety of different features. 2022 GR 86: A fan favorite Clermont new Toyota model is back and things are different. The new GR 86 has been redesigned with enhanced aerodynamics and handling in mind. Perfect balance has been struck in the front and rear of the new 86 and the engine's been made more powerful. Expect 228 horsepower under the hood and manual and automatic transmissions are available. 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro 3.0: This new model of Toyota Tacoma will include a more elevated experience (see what we did there?). But, seriously, the new Toyota truck will feature a 1.5-inch suspension lift in the front and 0.5-inch in the rear. There's also a new Electric Lime Metallic paint color that you'll be an instant fan of, guaranteed. This trim grade will also come equipped with Multi Terrain Monitor for easier off-roading navigation. 2022 4Runner TRD Sport: The new Toyota 4Runner isn't quite ready for a design overhaul, but this new model year will feature some impressive upgrades. An exclusive suspension feature, Cross-Linked Relative Absorber System (X-REAS), enhances handling when traveling by road. 20-inch wheels are also in store along with heated SofTex upholstered seats. Views Upon Views in the New Toyota Tundra So far we've seen a new exterior shot of the Clermont new Toyota Tundra and we're highly impressed with the aesthetic choices. Not every trim grade and feature has been announced yet but Toyota decided to throw us a bone with this one. In a press release and accompanying video, Toyota has revealed that the Tundra will have an optional panoramic moonroof AND a power back window (much like its 4Runner cousin). We can't wait to see what's coming next! Excited to check out all these new Toyota models? See them first when they come to Toyota of Clermont! Visit our dealership today at 16851 State Road 50.

Toyota's engineering team truly enjoys doing the unconventional. After all, this is the same team that put together a roaring internal combustion engine that burns hydrogen into a Corolla Hatchback. We're still scratching our heads at that one. Plus there's the COVID-19 vaccine distributing Toyota Land Cruiser, the Toyota Mega Cruiser, you get the idea. If a crazy idea hatched somewhere at Toyota, chances are the idea came to fruition in some way, shape, or form. The latest unconventional experiment on a car is a rally car constructed on the bones of a Toyota Prius and, well, you'll just have to read to believe! At Toyota of Clermont we're breaking down the details on this unique ride and how Toyota took a, what's perceived to be (wrongfully), mundane ride and turned it into a mudslinging professional. Unconventional? Yes. Totally Cool? Also Yes The Clermont Toyota Prius was designed to provide drivers with a cleaner driver that produces less emissions and gets impeccable fuel economy. That same idea from 1997 carries on today, but sometimes changing the formula can be fun. Anything you do with a Prius, other than making it a Prius, would be left field. But this? This is something truly special. Rally races are unique in that they're not technically circuit races. Drivers race from one point to another in specific "stages" using street-legal customized cars. Courses can be on private or public roads and can be on the actual road or in more of an off-roading type of setting. Other makes have popular models used in rallying, like Subaru, Audi, Ford, and so on. But, it's not often you see the oddly shaped Clermont Toyota Prius taking on this type of event. Here are some of the finer details surrounding this enigmatic ride: So far, the rally-ready Toyota Prius has competed in one event in an untimed exhibition class. Because it's built on a hybrid drivetrain it's difficult to classify. This means that the American Rally Association (ARA) has some work to do. To conserve on overall curb weight several adjustments were made to the interior and glass. By adjustments, we mean the interior was basically gutted entirely to make way for a roll cage and 2 racing seats. The vehicle glass is instead Plexiglass, again, to conserve on weight. This is also why there's no A/C system in the Toyota Prius rally car. To solve that issue? There's a large roof-mounted scoop up top that helps pull cold air into the cabin when driving. You can also bet that the dashboard has adopted a minimalistic look for this Clermont hatchback. Meaning there's hardly a dashboard at all. Obviously. building a rally-ready car with stock Toyota Prius parts wouldn't work. Luckily, the 2020 model is built on Toyota's TNGA platform, which is shared with several other models on the lineup. This makes swapping parts from other vehicles super simple. In a Frankenstein's monster type of fashion, this Clermont Toyota Prius borrows dampers from the RAV4 TRD, front and rear axles from the Camry, and springs from the TRD Avalon. Impressed? Well, you'll likely never wind up driving this one-off Toyota Prius. But, there's no reason to be sad! You can test drive a new Prius at Toyota of Clermont today and that's pretty close.

Here in Clermont we've been waiting for the new Toyota Tundra with bated breath. This elusive pickup truck is long overdue for an upgrade and the news surrounding it has been trickling in. Very. Slowly. Too. Slowly. But, we've come a long way since the leaked camo photos from a few months ago and now we have a lot more information to work with. Since the front end reveal of the iconic upcoming pickup, we've received confirmation of the engine name (and likely it's cylinder count) and more! Check out the latest on the Toyota Tundra from Toyota of Clermont right here! An Engine, Drivetrain, Infotainment, and More! There's a lot to unpack with this latest round of Tundra news. Let's get started with the big bad under the hood, the engine! Is that a V6? Toyota has been pretty tight-lipped about the Clermont Toyota Tundra as of late. But, we did get a snapshot of the engine, officially from Toyota, and we're already drawing conclusions. The first, and obvious, bit of info to decipher from the photo is that the engine will be part of a new generation iForce engines. This new engine will be an iForce MAX and that's all that's been confirmed. Now for the speculative parts. Judging by the photo we can see 3 sets of intake runners on either side of the Toyota Tundra engine. This could indicate that this new MAX will be a V6, seemingly confirming many internet rumors that have been around for months. Many other car makes have been making Clermont pickup trucks with alternative engineering like hybrids and EVs. It's unclear if this new Tundra engine will include a hybrid drivetrain, but Toyota has confirmed they will be "electrifying" their trucks in the near future. Say Goodbye to the Old Entune Infotainment System Here at Toyota of Clermont, we love all of the vehicles on our lineup. From the Toyota Tundra to the Corolla, we have a soft spot in our heart for them all. But, we'd be lying if we said that we were head over heels for the current infotainment system. Like our customers, we agree. It's a bit clunky, dated, and having to use cables to access Apple CarPlay and Android Auto feels like a step back. Now there's hope for something new! Because Lexus always gets the good stuff first, this new infotainment system is called "Lexus Interface" and will be introduced in the 2022 Lexus NX. The new system is very impressive with an even larger screen (14" wide), an actual volume knob (bless up), over-the-air navigation for smoother updating, a virtual assistant with more conversational voice commands, a Human Machine Interface, a digital key interface, and much more to be revealed! While it's confirmed that this system will be used in the upcoming Lexus NX, it could make its way to the new Toyota Tundra as a way to debut on the Toyota lineup. But, only time will tell. Nothing is confirmed yet and, as we know well at Toyota of Clermont, anything can happen! Shop with us Today! Ready to get into a Toyota Tundra today?

It's hard to deny the fact that electric cars are currently taking the North American automotive market by storm. Many people are eager to get behind the wheel of a vehicle that spells the end of gas station trips and that's packed with futuristic features. The enthusiasm for EVs is definitely palpable this side of the world and many major car manufacturers are hopping on the wagon to chart a course for the future. Like we've said time and time again here at Toyota of Clermont, Toyota is one brand that has made huge strides in vehicle electrification, but presents a different story when it comes to the electric car. So, what's Toyota up to now? What's the strategy going forward for the bZ4X in North America and the other vehicles to come? Toyota of Clermont is here with some answers for you. Let's dive in! Bringing a Toyota Electric Car to North America Globally, Toyota is always doing something new. North America is but one market in the wheelhouse of our namesake. So we can't expect everything presented in other places to come to Clermont. The Land Cruiser is ending in North America, but continuing elsewhere. The GR Yaris isn't coming here (sad face). You get the idea. When the electric car bZ4X was presented weeks ago, it was revealed that Toyota would be bringing it and other EVs to North America. Now we have sure confirmation that's true! But, don't think this means Toyota is going to become an EV powerhouse anytime soon. While car makes like Ford, Chevy, and GM are cementing themselves as EV authorities (to compete with the likes of Tesla), Toyota is taking things slowly. What does that mean for Toyota of Clermont and getting an electric car here? Time for a dissection lesson! Toyota's Hesitancy While an EV is definitely coming to North America (along with several others), that doesn't mean Toyota will become a massive producer. Akio Toyoda has made it clear, on many occasions, that he believes demand for EVs has a long way to go before a full investment is made by Toyota. Bob Carter, Toyota's executive VP of sales in the U.S., echoed this sentiment. Toyota's plan is to introduce and sell the Clermont bZ4X in North America along with an EV Lexus model in 2022, but they'll both be manufactured in Japan. Despite Toyota praising their investment in U.S. based manufacturing, they've opted to not follow suit with their upcoming electric car models. The idea is to wait until the demand for EVs among consumers is significantly raised and then Toyota would invest in manufacturing further. While a sound move based on sound judgement, one could make the argument that demand for EVs only increases in smaller increments because of a lack of options and no standard tax incentives in place nationwide. Infrastructure continues to improve for charging and adding more market options and buying incentives could drive the demand that Toyota is looking for to establish domestic manufacturing.   Ready to shop with us at Toyota of Clermont?

Old TRD Sport The Great Gatsby quotes aside, there's some exciting Toyota news surrounding the 4Runner this morning and it's that there's a new trim grade coming for the 2022 model year! The TRD Sport trim grade will be a slight departure from the off-roadiness of a typical 4Runner trim package and include different "road-ready" features for you to enjoy. Here are some of the key pieces of the pie you can expect to see at Toyota of Clermont soon: A unique on-road suspension system, Cross-Linked Relative Absorber System (X-REAS), that can automatically adjust the damping force of your 4Runner's shock-absorbers when hitting bumps in the road. 2WD with 9.0-inches of ground clearance or 4WD with 9.6-inches of ground clearance. New machine-faced 20-inch wheels. Color-keyed accent pieces. Signature TRD hood scoop, a front spoiler, and black roof rails. SofTex upholstery with gray contrast stitching.

What to Expect on June 2nd If you haven't been paying attention, then let it be known now that you should clear your calendars for June 2nd. Tomorrow is Toyota's product showcase and this year it looks like they're planning on unveiling some pretty impressive stuff. So far we know a few things that are coming down the pike, but there's still plenty wrapped up in mystery. Here's what we're expecting to see soon and what we're not sure about: The 2022 Toyota Prius will be joining the Nightshade family. Toyota Highlander Bronze Editon ups the ante on the Highlander's aesthetics. A new 2022 4Runner TRD Sport trim grade is coming. 2 Clermont new Toyota Tacomas are coming to the lineup. We're not sure on specifics. There might be more information/a special edition of the Toyota 86 coming (teased by "Shift in the Wind" headline). Toyota also released a new design silhouette that could spell the release of a new SUV (maybe another EV or the Corolla Cross?). There's a lot coming from Toyota this week. You ready to see if unfold? Follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont for the latest new Toyota news and shop with us today at 16851 State Road 50!

We've reported on quite a lot of the Toyota headlines recently. But, today we have a new Toyota story to talk about plus a recap of the old news. Let's jump in! Old TRD Sport The Great Gatsby quotes aside, there's some exciting Toyota news surrounding the 4Runner this morning and it's that there's a new trim grade coming for the 2022 model year! The TRD Sport trim grade will be a slight departure from the off-roadiness of a typical 4Runner trim package and include different "road-ready" features for you to enjoy. Here are some of the key pieces of the pie you can expect to see at Toyota of Clermont soon: A unique on-road suspension system, Cross-Linked Relative Absorber System (X-REAS), that can automatically adjust the damping force of your 4Runner's shock-absorbers when hitting bumps in the road. 2WD with 9.0-inches of ground clearance or 4WD with 9.6-inches of ground clearance. New machine-faced 20-inch wheels. Color-keyed accent pieces. Signature TRD hood scoop, a front spoiler, and black roof rails. SofTex upholstery with gray contrast stitching. This unique trim grade is sure to wow fans of the 4Runner and offer some road-conscious features to a Clermont Toyota best-known for what it does off the beaten path. What to Expect on June 2nd If you haven't been paying attention, then let it be known now that you should clear your calendars for June 2nd. Tomorrow is Toyota's product showcase and this year it looks like they're planning on unveiling some pretty impressive stuff. So far we know a few things that are coming down the pike, but there's still plenty wrapped up in mystery. Here's what we're expecting to see soon and what we're not sure about: The 2022 Toyota Prius will be joining the Nightshade family. Toyota Highlander Bronze Editon ups the ante on the Highlander's aesthetics. A new 2022 4Runner TRD Sport trim grade is coming. 2 Clermont new Toyota Tacomas are coming to the lineup. We're not sure on specifics. There might be more information/a special edition of the Toyota 86 coming (teased by "Shift in the Wind" headline). Toyota also released a new design silhouette that could spell the release of a new SUV (maybe another EV or the Corolla Cross?). There's a lot coming from Toyota this week.
