Could you call a Clermont Toyota Tacoma home?

Could you live in a tiny home? It's all the rage lately - minimizing your possessions and simplifying your life enough to live in an extremely small space. However, one man has taken living in a small space to a whole new level - he's actually living in the bed of his Toyota Tacoma. We've got the scoop here at Toyota of Clermont and we're wondering - could YOU call your Toyota Tacoma truck home if given the opportunity? Could you live in the bed of a Clermont Toyota Tacoma? The man in question is Andy Cochrane, and he's called the bed of his 2015 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab home for a while. But what led him to minimize his lifestyle to this extent? In an article in Outdoor Magazine, he explained that the rental property he was living in was sold, he totalled his hatchback in a bad car accident, and moved back home with his parents. This gave him the opportunity to consider adopting a nomadic lifestyle and he bought a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab - a van just wasn't going to cut it for the off-road adventures he planned on seeking. He had to make a few alterations, however, in order to bring some of the comforts of home with him. Here are some of the features he added to this Clermont Toyota truck: A 3" lift A new Leer 180 truck bed cap to literally put a roof over his head All-terrain tires to ensure the truck is adventure-ready A custom-built drawer that runs the length of the bed. This services as storage for books, kitchen supplies, and more, and slides in and out to create more space. 4 cubbies resting over the wheel wells for storage space, as well as a new roof rack for storage above the truck Special LED lights inside the bed for lighting at night (since this is where Cochrane sleeps) Fiberglass windows that open and close in the bed for circulation, as well as Reflectix insulation and a small fan to make the bed more comfortable A foam mattress and a variety of bedding Cochrane also chose to make some changes inside the double cab, too. He was reticent to give up the seats in the back but ultimately tore them out and added features including: An additional storage cubby for clothing and shoes, as well as a space for all of his dog's gear A small refrigerator, which is powered by a battery hooked up to three solar panels located on the roof of the truck A propane tank to operate his portable cook stove Water jugs for extra water storage And he's ready to hit the road and find any adventure. And thanks to the versatile nature of this Toyota truck, he can go pretty much anywhere! Shop our truck inventory for your next ride today Could you do it?

New Toyota Prius available at Toyota of Clermont.

Versatile new 2019 Toyota Prius gets all-wheel drive option

The Clermont Toyota Prius has always been a popular option for drivers who want something sleek, technology-driven, and fuel-efficient, not to mention incredibly eco-friendly. However, its curb appeal is being taken to a whole new level for the 2019 model year - it will now feature two models with all-wheel drive, giving it a versatility that it's never offered before. Taking on slick or snowy roads will be easier than ever from behind the wheel of this new Toyota hybrid, and Toyota of Clermont has the details on what it will be showcasing for the brand new model year. The 2019 Toyota Prius will be more versatile than ever Before we talk about style and technology, let's talk about performance - specifically, all-wheel drive. The 2019 Toyota Prius will feature AWD-E and the "E" stands for electric. This means that the all-wheel drive system doesn't have a center differential or front-to-rear driveshaft. It actually has an independent electric motor to power the rear wheels. However, the all-wheel drive system is actually on-demand so the car recognizes when it's needed and when it's not. And when it's not necessary, it'll turn all-wheel drive off so you can get the best fuel efficiency possible. Here are some more performance highlights: A new multi-link rear suspension system and lower center of gravity for increased handling and sportier maneuvering A new Nickel-Metal Hydride battery that takes up less space (it fits under a rear seat) and can handle cold weather like a champ Seating for 5 thanks to 65.5 cubic feet of interior space and 60:40 split rear seats, plus new roof racks with cargo crossbars so you can easily carry bikes, a luggage rack, a canoe, and more Now let's talk about everything else the 2019 Toyota Prius will have to offer when it finally gets to Toyota of Clermont - here are some of the details: Two new paint colors - Supersonic Red and Electric Storm Blue - and a new 15" alloy wheel design A new trim-level system - now the 2019 Toyota Prius will come in L Eco, LE, XLE, and Limited. All-wheel drive will be available on the LE and XLE models. A SofTex trimmed interior with heated front seats and a temperature regulated steering wheel Standard Toyota Safety Sense P with Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Standard smart key system with push button start and available Toyota Safety Connect, Vehicle Proximity Notification System, and Adaptive Front Lighting Entune Audio with navigation, 3 USB ports, Bluetooth, advanced voice recognition, Siri Eyes Free, and a 6.1" touchscreen interface Upgraded fuel efficiency of 58 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway for major fuel savings Follow Toyota of Clermont for updates on this hybrid fan favorite We can't wait for it to arrive at Toyota of Clermont and we don't have an exact date yet, but follow us on social media for updates! You can also call our internet sales team at (352) 404-7000 for more information and to see what's in store for you when this best-seller DOES actually arrive next year.
