It's no mystery that the new Toyota RAV4 is one of the world's most desireable SUVs. For the driver looking for something that doesn't guzzle too much gas but has more room than the typical sedan, it's perfect. Sedan fuel efficiency plus SUV power and space, what's better than that? Recently, Cars.com released survey findings among RAV4 drivers  to find what exactly they liked about the powerhouse vehicle. The survey was limited to the most recent model year. Here's a dive from Toyota of Clermont on what makes the new RAV4 so driveable and likeable. Here's What Clermont Drivers Love About the New Toyota RAV4 1) It's High in Value When it comes to feature packing, Toyota does an excellent job of ensuring their vehicles have plenty of strong points. The RAV4, however, definitely takes the cake and it shows among the survey participants. Drivers cite the excellent levels of comfort when it comes to the Clermont new Toyota RAV4 and that the plethora of safety features that come standard up the value. For this 2019 model owner from Petaluma, CA, "More comfortable than my Toyota Solara, and that's saying something for the RAV4, and the standard safety features are better than my friend's new Audi SUV. It's a tremendous value." 2) It's Packed with Advanced Tech New model years mean that new tech is always aplenty and the Clermont new Toyota RAV4 is definitely a poster child for this. The 2021 model year includes amazing features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, premium JBL speaker options, five USB ports throughout the cabin, optional onboard WiFi, and more. Drivers can opt for either a 7" or 8" touchscreen interface and an optional digital rearview mirror is available. An owner of a 2020 model in Gainesville, VA is quoted saying, "Got all the bells and whistles and am enjoying the fun parts, but also appreciating the additional safety features." 3) Fuel-Efficiency is the Name of the Game A main drawback to SUVs is the lack of overall practical fuel efficiency. Luckily, and to the joy of many drivers, the RAV4 puts this stereotype on its head. The gasoline model gets a great 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway and they hybrid model ups the ante with 41 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. If you want to take things even further you could always opt for the RAV4 Prime. 4) Comfortably Capable While the new Toyota RAV4 might be more on the compact side compared to its larger 4Runner and Highlander cousins, it's still just as comfortable and capable. There's plenty of head and legroom in all areas of the RAV4's cabin and it's surprisingly capable. In fact, the Clermont RAV4 has several trim grades that take it beyond the streets. The Adventure and TRD Off-Road trim grades provide off-roading benefits to the soccer-mom pigeon-holed RAV4. Plus, the RAV4 Prime provides plug-in charging to dramatically boost fuel efficiency and even give drivers EV only driving. The new Toyota RAV4 is a fan favorite for a variety of reasons. Find out what makes it special for you! Test drive the RAV4 at Toyota of Clermont today. Find us at 16851 State Road 50!

Heads up - new details have been released about the 2022 Toyota Tundra! This elusive new Toyota truck is due to arrive at Toyota of Clermont this fall, but Toyota has been pretty close-mouthed about the specifics that it'll be showcasing when it does. Several teasers have been released, but we're still waiting for the grand unveiling. New details were released this week regarding the interior as well as the technology and performance, and our Clermont Toyota dealership is here to share. We all know that the new 2022 Toyota Tundra has been redesigned both inside and out. It's sporting an all-new exterior look, a redesigned cabin, and an all-new engine under the hood. Here's a bit of what we know so far: The V8 engine that's been in the Toyota Tundra for years is out. It's being replaced with (we are pretty sure) a V6 iForce Max engine, likely one that has turbocharged options. This means more power AND more fuel efficiency, which is a big plus for drivers. It's also highly likely that a hybrid powertrain will be up for grabs in the new 2022 model for a cleaner and greener performance. We also know that it'll have a 10-speed automatic transmission and be designed based on the new TNGA platform with body-on-frame construction and high-strength steel for an overall lighter weight. The interior will likely showcase top tech for both entertainment and safety (after all, it is Toyota). A new tablet-like touchscreen interface will be up for grabs and there will be a power rear window. So what's been revealed in the latest teaser photos for the 2022 Toyota Tundra? Here's what we were able to glean from the trio of pictures: The plush interior will be available in a red fabric/perforated leather trim. It's super similar to that of the 2021 Toyota TRD Camry (which we absolutely love) and will likely be available on a TRD model of the 2022 Toyota Tundra. Additionally, TRD badging will be featured throughout, including on the seats. New teaser photos have also revealed that wireless charging will be available in this Clermont Toyota truck, so it's reasonable to expect that the rest of the cabin would follow suit and offer the best of the best when it comes to technology. On top of that, a knob for drive modes is featured in the teaser photos. Toyota Tundra enthusiasts are pretty excited about this particular teaser because the knob reveals that there will be Downhill Assist Control, Multi-Terrain Select, CRAWL Control, and Tow/Haul modes available. This 2022 Toyota Tundra is going to be prepped and ready for any type of terrain, it seems. We really don't have any updates on when the new 2022 model will arrive at Toyota of Clermont, but we can certainly keep you posted! Follow us on social media for updates or call us. You can reach our Clermont Toyota sales specialists seven days a week at (352) 404-7000.

If you're looking for an off-road-ready SUV to find adventures off the pavement, there are certainly a ton of options available to you. However, the standouts are definitely the new 2021 Toyota 4Runner and the 2021 Ford Bronco. Both are certainly capable of taking you off the beaten path, but how do they compare, and which one is better for your drivetime across the board? Our Clermont Toyota dealership is breaking down the similarities and differences to make your car shopping experience as easy as possible. The 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro If you want a vehicle that's ready for anything off-road, the iconic Toyota 4Runner is a solid bet. It's been a fan favorite for decades because of its reliability, performance capabilities, and truck-like handling. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when considering this Clermont Toyota: The 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro has a starting MSRP of $51,290, but it's packed with performance features and ready to hit the trails. You won't need to add anything on to take on the unpaved. You'll also get top technology and tons of sleek interior features. It offers a 4.0L V6 engine under the hood that brings 270 horsepower to the table, as well as dedicated off-road suspension and 10" of ground clearance for major off-road capabilities. It has a narrow body and is slightly longer than the 2021 Ford Bronco both in wheelbase and overall length. It also has body-on-frame construction, which means it handles more like a truck than a car (something that's becoming more and more uncommon in SUVs these days). The 2021 Ford Bronco What about the up-and-coming 2021 Ford Bronco? There's been a lot of hype surrounding this vehicle as it was once retired and has now been redesigned and reintroduced to the market, to the glee of Ford fans. Here are some basics: It has a starting MSRP of $29,995, but that's for the base level. If you want it to be loaded with tech and performance features like the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, it's going to take a pretty steep jump in price. The new Ford Bronco also drives like a truck, making it off-road ready. However, drivers have noted that while it's stellar off the pavement, it lacks a certain level of refinement for everyday driving on it. Two engines are up for grabs in this new SUV. You can choose between a 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost and a 2.7L twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost. They offer 275 horsepower and 310 horsepower, respectively. Which one will you drive home? So which one is better suited for your daily drive time? Both the 2021 Toyota 4Runner and the 2021 Ford Bronco seat five; they also have similar fuel efficiency, as well as similar width and height, and they're both ready for anything off the pavement. We will say, however, that Toyota has a clear advantage when it comes to reliability and resale value. It's renowned for both on a global level, meaning if you want a reliable ride that'll give you more bang for your buck down the road, you're in the right place at Toyota of Clermont. Ready to see if the 2021 Toyota 4Runner is right for you? Call us at (352) 404-7000. Toyota of Clermont is open seven days a week at 16851 State Road 50, just west of the Florida Turnpike!

Toyota has been a little quiet as of late when it comes to making headlines. The new Tundra is coming soon, the Corolla Cross will launch before we know it, and so on. But, this is all old news. We haven't seen too many new announcements, but that doesn't mean there isn't something interesting going on. This week, Toyota of Clermont is here with some interesting (to say the least) new Toyota news stories and one story that isn't too crazy but you'll definitely want to know about. Let's get started! Some Crazy New Toyota Stories Can an Engine that's Been Buried for a Year Still Run? Yes, the most existential and profound of questions out there. Truly. But, for real, can you actually get an engine to run after it's been buried in the ground for a year? That's what the guys behind Garage 54 (a popular YouTube channel of mechanics from Russia) sought to find out. About a year ago, the guys decided to pull a crazy car stunt (which they most always do. Highly recommend watching) that involved burying an engine and resurrecting it. But, that was a year ago. The engine, being a new Toyota diesel 2CT model, had been buried for an entire year with the wiring, air intake, and radiator all exposed. It even endured an entire Russian winter! After it was dug up and hosed off, the engin surprisingly only needed a few repairs and checks before it was running again. While we wouldn't recommend mating this engine to anything, it's still a remarkable and funny story! How Long Does it Take You to Park by Backing in? If you answered 8 minutes, answer this, are you the person in this hilarious video? While we at Toyota of Clermont understand that driving is a lengthy learning experience at which no one is truly an expert, this is pretty funny to watch. Based in the UK, The Sun published a video via Twitter that shows a Clermont new Toyota Auris driver struggling to back in park for 8 minutes before getting it right. What makes the situation more hilarious is the fact that there are several open spaces around for the driver to have room to work and it still takes a ludicrous amount of time. About 10 different maneuvers later and the driver finally gets it together. Thanks for the laughs! Back to Normalcy - The 2022 Toyota Supra A91-CF Edition Will Start at $64,275 The Clermont new Toyota Supra continues to get classier and the prices continue to climb. For the 2022 model year, the Supra is getting a design upgrade with the Carbon Fiber Edition. This edition adds aesthetic upgrades like carbon fiber front splitter and rocker panel pieces. 19-inch wheels and unique red stitching inside tie this package together. There will only be 600 copies of this special edition ride and the price is pretty steep. Looking at the numbers, this sticker price is $8,000 more than the 2021 A91 Edition Clermont new Toyota Supra. Will you be driving one of these home?

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?

Impress upon your teen that using their phone while driving is not okay and teach them ways to remove the temptation to use theirs. Always Watch for Buses and Pedestrians Now that your teen driver has their own agency when it comes to transportation, that doesn't mean they can forget about where they came from, walking and/or taking the bus. Your child might be able to drive themselves to and from school, but there are any pedestrians out and about trying to get to school and your teen needs to watch out for. Educate them on proper driving rules when encountering buses and that you should go extra slow in pedestrian and school zones to prevent an accident from happening. Seat Belt > Gucci Belt Stunting on your first day back to school is important, but wearing you seatbelt can make all the difference in the event of an accident (plus if you don't wear one you'll likely get a hefty ticket). Impress the importance to your Clermont teen driver that wearing a seatbelt is beyond necessary. Get Plenty of Rest Studies have shown time and time again that teens, on average, get less sleep and rest than they need. This results in low test scores, poor mental health, and, you guessed it, low reaction time while driving. When out of the driver's seat, make sure your teen driver is getting the rest they need. This will help them stay focused and make them less likely to get into an accident. Need more tips to keep your teen driver safe? Reach out to us at Toyota of Clermont today!
