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?

The slew of new Toyota news we've seen these past few days has been exciting and truly magical. When Toyota seemed all but slumped in hibernation, they came out swinging with more news than we could process through. Being as big of fans as we are (guilty), we can't help but share in the excitement! For the Supra, the spotlight has been aimed and focused, but another fan-favorite sibling is ready to steal the show. The 2022 Toyota 86 is coming soon and we have all the details for this new sportscar here at Toyota of Clermont. Let's check out the details right here! What's New With the Toyota 86? Before it was the Scion FR-S, then the Subaru BRZ, now the Toyota 86 (still the BRZ, btw). For several years this new Toyota sportscar sported a low, assertive stance that was enhanced by a unique boxer engine. Now, there's an all new model coming out. Here are the initial details: The Clermont new Toyota 86 will now be called the GR 86 as it's absorbed under the Gazoo Racing umbrella. Body construction is exceptionally light but nimble. The 86 is designed with aluminum roof panels and fenders. It's curb weight clocks in at a little over 2,800 pounds. There's also a horsepower upgrade in store for the mighty sportscar. A 2.4L naturally aspirated horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine sits under the hood and reps 228 horsepower (compared to 205 from previous model years). Owners can choose between 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions (we recommend manual if you're going for that true new Toyota sportscar feel). With more horsepower, torque, and a lighter build, you can bet that the 0-60 time is shorter than ever. Expect an astonishing 6.1 seconds on a manual transmission and 6.6 seconds on the automatic transmission. The Clermont Toyota 86 will be available in 2 trim grades, GR 86 and GR 86 Premium. Drivers can choose between 7 paint color options, including an exclusive color called Track bRED. The interior features Alcantara and leather accents and silver accent pieces. And so much more! The Clermont new Toyota 86 is designed to harken back to the original AE86. In Japan, this iconic vehicle (featured in the anime, Initial D) was called "hachi-roku," or 8-6. All throughout the build and design of the GR 86 you can find call-backs to the original AE86. A low overall height, horizontally extended fender tops, and iconic 2+2 RWD. The MATRIX "G Mesh" Grille is functional and enhances performance and style. Torsen limited-slip rear differential and RWD platform. MacPherson strut front and double wishbone rear suspension and 11.6 and 11.4-inch vented front and rear brakes make mountain braking effortless. The Clermont new Toyota GR 86 is scientifically designed to be a perfect blend of both old and new. This creates one of the most agile, efficient, responsive, and fun to drive cars out there.

Living in Clermont, we know a thing or two about summer. In the land of perpetual sunshine, it's no mystery that the sun can be a devastating thing for your ride. Your paint suffers and begins to fade away, your interior damaged from the heat, and your engine compartment will be working harder to stay cool. The best way to keep this process going is to make sure your car coolant is working correctly and add more if you need to. Toyota of Clermont is here with a quick guide on checking your coolant levels and how to troubleshoot should issues arise. Check it out! Summers are Hot. Keep it Cool(ant) The first step in troubleshooting or monitoring your Clermont car coolant levels is knowing how and where to look. Your coolant reservoir will be labeled with a yellow cap that reads "COOLANT" on many makes and models. You have to be careful, though. Pressure builds in the reservoir as you drive and could explode hot fluids on you if you open the cap too soon after driving. The best thing to do is wait until your engine is cool and then check. Your coolant reservoir should clock in or near the full line near the top of the container. If it's not, feel free to add some car coolant until you hit the right level. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct coolant type or talk to one of our auto service technicians here at Toyota of Clermont. Things to Watch Out For If you've done your coolant check and saw that it was low, it's time to go into auto service tech mode and diagnose the issue. Here are a few things to watch out for if you have an auto service issue or simply need to add more: Your actual reservoir level is low. This can be caused by a variety of things, but if you can't find any other issues it could be simply caused by your vehicle expending it over time. Your dashboard warning lights will indicate when you car coolant is low. The temperature gauge on your dash is too high. This is an obvious and alarming issue that could eventually lead to your engine overheating. This can be caused by low car coolant or your Clermont Toyota car has a blockage somewhere. There are odd puddles under your ride. Water is expelled naturally by your A/C condenser. If you notice different colored fluid leaking under your car, there's a problem for sure. You can smell coolant. Because of the antifreeze in many coolant types, there's a sickly-sweet smell attached. If you catch a whiff or an air of it, it's probably leaking somewhere. Driving with a low amount of car coolant can lead to a plethora of problems for your ride. Namely, an overheating engine. Closely monitor your coolant levels throughout the summer months and visit Toyota of Clermont if you have an issue you can't solve on your own. You can find us at 16851 State Road 50 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?

The Toyota Highlander is already known for being one of the sleekest SUVs out there. It's family-oriented, sure, and decked out with the latest and greatest safety technology to give you the peace of mind you deserve when you have precious cargo in the backseat. However, it's also sophisticated, polished, and modern both inside and out. Well, Toyota decided to take its design one step further and release a special edition model in the upcoming year. Toyota of Clermont has the details! Meet the latest Clermont Toyota special edition The all-new 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition will arrive at dealerships sometime later this year, bringing an even edgier option to drivers seeking a family-friendly solution. It's a special edition, mind you, so it's likely that there won't be too many of them sold (all the more reason to jump on it as soon as it arrives). Here are some of the details of what we're expecting out of this Clermont Toyota SUV: A hybrid drivetrain, as noted, as well as front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Bronze accents applied liberally inside and out. The outside will boast new 18" bronze wheels, while the interior will showcase bronze stitching, illuminated doorsills, badging, and other accents. A redesigned interior with mid-century modern flare integrated into the SofTex seats. Two new paint colors: Cement and Wind Chill Pearl. And not only that, this new Toyota Highlander will come standard with some pretty excellent features. You can expect to find: A digital rearview mirror A hands-free power liftgate A 1500W power outlet Rain-sensing windshield wipers Ambient lighting in the dash A power driver's seat that's 10-way adjustable, as well as passenger seats with height and tilt adjustments And did we mention the performance capabilities that you'll have when you get behind the wheel? As noted, this new Toyota SUV is all-wheel drive, and it has a separate rear-mounted electric motor that powers the back wheel exclusively. It has no mechanical connection between the transmission and rear wheels to improve understeering and prevent your front wheels from slipping when you accelerate in all-wheel drive. You'll also be able to tackle uneven or slippery terrain with ease. It's also incredibly fuel-efficient. You'll get a high-efficiency 2.5L 4-cylinder engine under the hood with two electric motors, all of which results in 36 mpg fuel efficiency (and a lot of saved gas, money, AND natural resources). See it in person at Toyota of Clermont later this year! There's no exact release date for this new Toyota SUV quite yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when it arrives at Toyota of Clermont.
