Since school is around the corner it’s an opportunity to brush up on back to school driving tips from your experts here at Toyota of Clermont. Driving in school zones Slow down and drive slowly. School zones have lower speed limits for safety purposes. You should make sure to factor these speed limits into your driving commute. Avoid distracted driving at all cost. So, this means making sure you’re not on your phone while driving, utilizing the advanced technology on your Clermont Toyota like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to navigate to your destination safely. Always be ready to stop suddenly and quickly for bicycles and kids crossing the street to get to school, and drivers pulling into the dropoff loop. Make sure to expect and watch out for pedestrians and crossing guards. Take a look at the roads by scanning every direction and always yielding. Keep an eye out for road signs while you’re driving to school by knowing where the school zones start and end, the speed limits, and other rules you should follow for this back to school season. Driving around school buses Try not to follow a school bus too closely School buses are responsible for picking up children from multiple different bus stops, so they frequently make stops. You want to make sure when you’re driving behind a school bus that you leave plenty of space between the bus and your Clermont Toyota. There is a helpful two-second rule that you should follow that’s super helpful. Once a bus passes a street sign or tree, you should wait at least two seconds before passing it. Let’s say it stops, you should leave 10 feet of space in between the front of your car and the back of the bus. By doing this, you are also allowing space for kids to pass between if they need to. Get ready for frequent stops In the morning, you may have to prepare yourself for frequent stops with back to school traffic. So, make sure that you are exercising your defensive driving skills. Be sure to pay attention to the road at all times. Don’t catch their blind spot When you’re on the road and see a big bus, you may notice that they block the view in front of you because of how big they are in space. Just in the same way, they have big blind spots. So, although you may want to quickly pass them, do not. Instead, if you need to pass them, wait for them, make sure you never pass them when their yellow lights are flashing (make a stop instead), and always pass on the left side of the bus. Always stop when needed for a bus If you find that you’re behind a bus and yellow lights are flashing, it’s an indication that you legally have to stop your Clermont Toyota. You must stop even if you are in the lane over from the bus. However, if you’re driving in the opposite direction with a double line in the middle of the road, then you are in the clear to keep driving. How To Avoid Back To School Traffic 1. Plan Your Route Routes can be confusing, especially if you’re starting a new school. It’s best to try out your route, before heading out on the road when the first day comes around. By planning your route and preparing you will save yourself time and frustration. 2. Give yourself extra time It’s important to give yourself the extra time you need in the morning. When you’re in traffic and dealing with the pressures of being late, it’s tempting to want to speed and cut other cars off. However, this can increase your chances of getting into a collision and isn’t safe. Instead, give yourself enough time to encounter traffic from weather delays, accidents, or etc. Give yourself at least 15 minutes of wiggle room this back to school. 3. Pack everything up ahead of time Prepare the night before by setting out your clothes for the next day, your backpack, anything needed for after school activities to make sure your morning runs as smoothly as possible. By preparing beforehand, you limit the possibilities of having to turn your Clermont Toyota around to get something you forgot. 4. Check the traffic from your smartphone ahead of time Take advantage of the features on your smartphone like Apple Maps, Google Maps, or whatever navigation system you prefer. You will be able to get an idea of how long it takes to get to your school in the morning and afternoon. Need more tips this school year? Reach out to us at Toyota of Clermont today!

Car shopping can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first car purchase. Plus, there are many things to consider, like safety ratings, gas mileage, and towing capacity. AWD vs 4WD is one of the most debated topics at Toyota of Clermont. These systems might sound similar, but they are very different! When you take a closer look, you’ll find that the driving experience, handling, and performance are very different between these drivetrain types. That’s why our automotive experts at Toyota of Clermont are here to break it down for you. In this guide, we’ll cover what All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) really mean, how each system works, the pros and cons of each, and how to decide which one suits your driving lifestyle. Whether you're braving unpredictable road conditions or planning your next off-road adventure, we’re “Making it Simple™.” What is an All-Wheel Drive Vehicle (AWD)? AWD is a drivetrain system that powers all four wheels of your ride. Unlike traditional 4WD systems, which require the driver's input to engage, AWD vehicles are always on and constantly adjusting the amount of torque sent to each wheel. Additionally, this smart system uses sensors to detect slippage and road conditions, directing power to the wheels that need it most in the moment. One of the defining components of an AWD vehicle is the center differential, which allows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. This is super important when you’re driving on paved roads where wheels naturally move at different rates, especially when turning! Because of the center differential, AWD systems are smoother, more fuel-efficient than traditional 4WD systems (not as efficient as front-wheel drive), and are designed for everyday road conditions like rain, light snow, and occasional unpaved roads. Also, AWD is most commonly found in modern crossovers and SUVs like the Toyota Highlander or Corolla Cross. These Clermont Toyotas are built for comfort, safety, and practicality rather than taking the off-roading path in a Toyota 4Runner. When it comes to AWD vs 4WD, which one will you choose at our dealership? <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> What is Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)? Four-Wheel Drive (4WD), often referred to as 4x4, is a more traditional and robust system built to tackle harsh driving environments. Typically, a 4WD vehicle operates in rear-wheel drive until the driver manually activates the 4WD system, usually through a switch, lever, or button. Once you enable the 4WD system, it locks torque to the front and rear axles to provide consistent power to all four wheels. Also, most 4WD systems don’t use a center differential. To break it down, this means the front and rear axles are locked together and spin at the same rate. This offers maximum traction in slippery or uneven terrain (deep mud, snow, or steep rocks). However, it’s not ideal for dry pavement. Without a center differential, turning can cause "binding" or wheel hop, which can damage your drivetrain. And, who wants an expensive auto repair at the Toyota Collision Center that they could prevent? Because of this, the 4WD vehicle is best suited for extreme off-road conditions or heavy towing situations. Additionally, you’ll find it in trucks and full-size SUVs like the Toyota Tundra or Toyota 4Runner. These Clermont Toyotas are perfect for the rugged road or camping if you’re into that! When you’re deciding between the AWD vs 4WD, which one will you choose at our dealership? AWD vs 4WD: Pros and Cons All-Wheel Drive Advantages: Perfect for everyday driving and unpredictable road conditions like rain, sleet, and light snow. It offers a seamless and automatic power distribution with no driver input required. Also, it helps maintain traction on slick pavement or winding roads. Enhances confidence and safety without leaving out comfort. Incorporates a center differential for smooth cornering and consistent ride quality. Disadvantages: It’s much more expensive to maintain and repair due to its complexity. (Hello wallet.) Also, it usually adds more weight to your vehicle, which reduces fuel efficiency compared to front-wheel-drive options. Finally, it’s not the best for extreme off-road situations. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Advantages: First, it’s designed for rugged terrain like rocky trails, sand, deep snow, or muddy roads. Offers maximum traction in off-road or towing scenarios. Many 4WD vehicles feature low-range gearing for steep inclines and descents. Finally, it allows manual control over the drivetrain, which can be preferable for experienced drivers. Disadvantages: Less fuel-efficient due to heavier drivetrain components. Requires driver engagement, which can be inconvenient or misused on dry pavement. Also, it’s not as smooth or efficient for daily commuting or highway driving in your Clermont Toyota. Lacks a Clermont Toyota center differential, which makes it unsuitable for extended use on regular paved roads. Which is Right for You: AWD vs 4WD Which system wins in the great AWD vs 4WD debate? Well, this depends on your needs as a driver and your hobbies! When deciding between AWD vs 4WD, you should choose AWD if: You live in an area with a ton of rain or snow. Mostly driving on pavement or well-maintained roads. You value convenience, comfort, and safety for daily commutes or family trips. Finally, if you want a modern AWD vehicle like the Clermont Toyota RAV4 or Highlander, that offers peace of mind in a variety of weather conditions. When deciding between AWD vs 4WD, you should choose 4WD if: You enjoy weekend adventures on rough terrain or plan to go off-roading regularly. You live in a rural area where roads are less maintained and have steep inclines. You need to tow heavy loads or have things like a boat, RV, or anything similar. You’re shopping for a 4WD vehicle like the Clermont Toyota Tacoma or Tundra with off-roading capabilities and need that extra oomph on the highway. Still unsure? Our team at Toyota of Clermont is happy to walk you through your options and help you test drive the AWD vs 4WD systems. Why Road Conditions Matter: AWD vs 4WD Also, it’s important to think beyond your daily routine when choosing AWD vs 4WD. Other things like weather and terrain can change quickly, and having the right drivetrain can make all the difference. AWD vehicles are the best option in cities and suburbs with varying road conditions. On the other hand, the 4WD systems dominate during off-road adventures or overlanding. When choosing AWD vs 4WD, always think about where you’ll be driving the most!
