Reap the Benefits of a Hybrid with the 2016 Toyota Highlander

2016 Toyota Highlander

Toyota Highlander

They-re just as comfortable and high-tech. There may have been a time when hybrid vehicles only offered one thing - fuel economy, but now hybrids feature everything consumers could want. The 2016 Highlander, for instance, offers a huge list of upscale content like keyless ignition and entry, heated and ventilated seats, touchscreen interfaces for audio and internet, and also safety features to protect everyone onboard.

Safety features are especially impressive in the Highlander with a list that includes:

  • rearview camera
  • blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors
  • frontal collision mitigation system
  • automatic braking
  • lane-departure warning
  • Toyota Safety Connect telematics with emergency assistance, stolen vehicle location, and automatic collision notification

Hybrids are also just as comfortable as standard vehicles, and the Highlander shows this with three rows of seats that provide good support and adjustability to fit the needs of every passengers individual needs.

You-ll save big on gas. In an era of gas prices that aren-t very friendly, hybrids like the Highlander are a smart choice. Hybrids can go at least 600 miles before requiring gas, which means less time spent at the pump and major savings!

So how do hybrids work? Unlike cars that run solely on gasoline, hybrids run on both a rechargeable battery and gasoline. And unlike electric cars that have to be plugged in, the electric motor in hybrids also act as a generator during deceleration and braking in order to continually recharge the battery as you drive.

The 2016 Highlander Hybrid, for example, is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that-s combined with multiple electric motors, a battery pack, and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). CVTs work like this: when power is not needed, such as at a red light or in bumper-to-bumper traffic, the engine shuts down. It then revs up again when the accelerator is pressed. This means gas is not wasted and toxins are not emitted - a win for you and a win for the environment!

You-ll help protect the environment. Want to leave the world a better place for future generations? Driving a hybrid is an excellent way to do so. Hybrids not only get better gas mileage than most standard cars, but most produce a good 90 percent fewer smog-forming tailpipe emissions. That-s a huge percentage, all with the simple and subtle change of switching to a hybrid.

For more information on the 2016 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and the many benefits of hybrid vehicles, visit us in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Increase Fuel Economy in your 2016 Toyota Tundra with These Tips

2016 Toyota Tundra

Toyota Tundra

Trucks like the 2016 Toyota Tundra are great for a number of things like towing, hauling, and off-road capabilities. Unfortunately, they aren-t always the most fuel efficient. Luckily, there are some things you can do to make the most of your gas tank. Here-s what you should know about the highs and lows of fuel efficiency.

Driving Style. So, your truck holds a certain amount of fuel. While this is true, there is much more to fuel efficiency than the size of your gas tank. A large part of how well your truck does in fuel efficiency is due to your driving habits. For instance, do you drive aggressively? It may be time to relearn the basics of drivers ed, because speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking are all huge gas wasters, lowering gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds and 5% around town. Sensible driving - actually following the speed limit, not tailgating, and so on - will not only increase fuel efficiency for savings at the pump, but it-s much safer for everyone on the road, including yourself.

Remove Extra Weight. That cargo bed may be one of your favorite features of your pickup truck, but you may want to leave it empty when you can. Any extra weight your vehicle has to lug around equals to decreased fuel efficiency; and the heavier the item, the more it plummets.

Hit Cruise Control. Cruise control is a nice feature for making long drives more comfortable behind the wheel, but this handy button is actually a good way to save on gas. With the help of cruise control, your truck will remain at a constant speed, which helps eliminate extra fuel from being burned unnecessarily.

Adapt to Changes in Temperature. Depending on where you live (and drive), outside temperatures can range from the hottest of the hot to the coldest of the cold. Hot and cold temperatures both negatively affect fuel economy.

Cold weather, for instance, can significantly reduce fuel economy. This is due to a number of reasons, including:

  • Warming up a near-frozen vehicle before hitting the road burns gas and gets you zero miles per gallon.
  • Heated seats, window defrosters, and other extra features cause more power to be used.
  • Winter grades of gasoline have slightly less energy per gallon than summer blends.
  • The engine takes longer to reach its most fuel-efficient temperature.

Fortunately, there are some things you can do to help your truck better adapt to changes in weather, such as:

  • Parking in warmer places, such as a garage, to increase the initial temperature of your engine and cabin.
  • Minimize idling to warm the engine; they warm up fastest when being driven.
  • Avoid excessive use of seat warmers and defrosters.

Keep Your 2016 Toyota Corolla in Optimal Condition with Tire Rotations and Wheel Alignments

2016 Toyota Corolla

Toyota Corolla

The 2016 Toyota Corolla is the most alluring one to date with an excellent blend of fuel economy, features, and versatility. Overall, it-s a truly reliable car that easily meets the demands of most. But, in order to reap all of the benefits of the newest Corolla, it-s important to stay on top of all routine maintenance services and repairs. One service in particular is tire rotations and wheel alignments. Here-s what you should know.

What is a tire rotation? First, it-s important to know exactly what a tire rotation is. A tire rotation is the act of moving each of your car-s tires from one wheel to another. For example, front tires can move to the back, back tires can move to the front.

What is the purpose of a tire rotation? It may sound silly to simply move tires to a different location on your car, but there are many benefits to doing this. Tires gain wear and tear over time, especially front wheels. Tires that are never rotated wear out faster than tires that are; they also wear unevenly. This means more money spent buying tires.

What is a wheel alignment and what benefits does it serve? A wheel alignment refers to how the wheels of your car line up with the steering wheel. Wheels that are out of alignment show many signs, such as not staying in a straight line when driving on a flat, even road or if the car pulls to the left or the right when driving on a flat, even road. Unaligned wheels lead to wheel damage, as well as tires to be worn out much fast.

What-s the different between a tire rotation and a wheel alignment?

Besides the obvious differences between a tire rotation and a wheel alignment, there is another main different worth nothing. While both a tire rotation and wheel alignment deal with the longevity of your cars tires, tires need to be rotated at specific time intervals, whereas a wheel alignment is only necessary when your car shows warning signs of tires being out of alignment.

To keep your 2016 Toyota Corolla, or other vehicle, in optimal condition, be sure to have its tires rotated regularly and its wheels aligned when necessary. For both of these services or for more information, vis tour dealership in Las Vegas, NV.

Why choose the Toyota Tacoma? Several reasons come to mind, like its V6 engine, off-road capabilities and extensive option list. What-s exciting is that all of these perks are a part of the 2016 Tacoma-s all-new design.

2015 Toyota RAV4

Toyota RAV4

The 2015 Toyota RAV4 stands as a well-rounded compact SUV that offers features, passenger space and every-day utility all in one great package. Continue reading to learn more about the many perks of the newest RAV4.

Plenty of Space: While the RAV may be classified as a compact SUV, but its interior measurements are actually larger than most. The cargo bay offers 38.4 cubic feet and with second-row seats folded, space expands to a mega 73.3 cubic feet - one of the largest in the class.

Though taller individuals may not find the low-mounted rear seat as comfortable as those with shorter legs, the flat load floor it creates is a huge pro because it makes loading and unloading cargo much easier. Especially convenient for loading and unloading is the power-operated and height-adjustable lift gate.

Safety in All Areas: For safety on the road, the 2015 RAV4 makes a solid choice with its lengthy list of safety equipment and high crash test scores. All models on the 2015 RAV4 lineup, include: antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, whiplash-reducing front head restraints, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and driver knee airbag, plus rearview camera.

In government crash tests, the RAV4 scored high with four-out-of-five stars in overall protection, four stars in frontal protection and a full five stars in side-impact protection. The RAV4 also received the highest scores in testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in these areas: moderate-overlap and small-overlap frontal-offset impact tests, as well as side-impact, roof-strength and head-restraint tests.

Great Content on a Great Lineup: There are three trim levels available on the 2015 RAV4 lineup. Each houses content that will meet the needs of most. The entry-level LE comes with a good amount of upscale basics and a more-than-generous amount of electronics. Wheels are 17-inch steel, headlights are automatic, mirrors are power-folding and accessories are full power. Also enjoyable is the keyless entry system. Electronics include a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and six-speaker sound system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, CD player, auxiliary audio jack and iPod/USB audio interface.

There-s a lot to gain from the middle XLE trim that boasts upgraded content and tech features. It adds fog lights, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, roof rails, sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control and extendable sun visors. Front seats get a sporty flavor and also included is a cargo cover. The audio system gets good bonuses that include satellite and HD radio, traffic and weather. There are a few optional items available to the XLE that are worthwhile, like a height-adjustable power lift gate, navigation system and Toyota-s Entune smartphone app integration.

Toyota packs even more into the top Limited trim like a navigation system paired to a premium 11-speaker JBL audio system. What really sets the Limited apart from the rest is its optional packages. The Technology package equips the RAV4 with a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alerts, a lane-departure warning system and automatic headlights with high-beam control. The Blizzard Pearl Premium package features exterior add-ons like 18-inch machine-finished wheels with black accents.

For a Seriously Capable Truck, Opt for the 2015 Toyota Tundra

2015 Toyota Tundra

Toyota Tundra

The Toyota Tundra stands as a seriously capable truck. Tow rates match some of the best in its class and the TRD-Pro trim level offers impressive off-road-oriented capabilities. If you-re in the market for a full-size pickup, the 2015 Tundra offers many pros that make it worth your while.

New and Improved for 2015: The Tundra was given a major redesign just last year, but Toyota awarded yet another round of changes to the 2015 lineup. The Tundra no longer houses a V6 engine, and instead, offers a choice between two V8s. The 4.6-liter V8 is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, producing 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque. The 5.7-liter V8 is also paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, but it-s much stronger with 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque.

?Tow rates are excellent for both engines with a max tow capacity of 6,800 pounds with the 4.6-liter and 10,500 pounds with the 5.7-liter. Note that these rates depend on body style and for properly equipped trucks.

Power, towing ? what else could the Tundra offer? You guessed it - speed! In zero to 60 mph testing, the Tundra TRD Pro sprinted it in just 6.7 seconds - a quicker-than-average time for the segment.

The Tundra also gained a new TRD-Pro trim level, which comes with off-road capable gear, like skid plates, off-road tires, Bilstein shocks and raised suspension.

More to Enjoy: While the Tundra offers power, towing and speed, it also boasts much more. The 2015 lineup features a huge list of trim levels that come with content that will please most.

The SR begins the lineup and comes with better-than-average entry-level equipment and features. It has keyless entry, heated mirrors, full power accessories, cruise control and two 12-volt power outlets. It also has a matte black lower front bumper, rear bumper and grille surround, plus tow hooks and windshield wiper de-icer. Electronics include a generous list with everything from Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity to 6.1-inch Entune touchscreen interface and four-speaker audio system with CD player, USB port, iPod interface and auxiliary audio jack.

Skipping up to the Limited trim means many more upscale niceties to make your time on the road more enjoyable. It has heated mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated front bucket seats and 20-inch alloy wheels. It also features a premium grille and bed rail system. More tech features are also included on the Limited with a navigation system and smartphone app suite that integrates into the Entune touchscreen.

Another trim worth mentioning is the Platinum. With it comes real luxury content, such as power-folding and auto-dimming outside mirrors, premium leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats and driver-seat memory functions. It also features more chrome detailing and special 20-inch wheels. Audio gets a big jump up with a 12-speaker JBL sound system.

2015 Corolla

Toyota Corolla

Why opt for the 2015 Toyota Corolla? Impressive fuel economy, versatility and excellent features are just a few of the long list of appealing qualities the Corolla offers. Here-s a closer look at what you-ll find in the newest Corolla.

The Corolla features a 2015 lineup filled with four impressive, fully-loaded trim levels. The base L starts out the lineup with a good mix of equipment and electronics. It includes LED low-beam headlights and running lights, powered accessories, tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with auxiliary controls and height-adjustable driver seat. Electronics feature Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and a four-speaker sound system with CD player, USB/iPod interface and auxiliary audio jack.

Building upon the base L is the LE that gains upgraded features from heated mirrors to variable intermittent wipers and keyless entry to automatic climate control and cruise control. The sound system bumps to six speakers and includes a six-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth phone connectivity, phonebook downloading capability and voice controls.

Jump to the LE Plus and LE Premium to get 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights and sleek piano-black interior accents. The Driver Convenience package is optional on the Plus and standard on the Premium, equipping both with a sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, roof-mounted antennae, satellite and HD radio, navigation system and Toyota-s Entune App Suite mobile-app integration. The LE Premium also includes a power driver seat, heated front seats and premium vinyl upholstery.

The LE Eco is a Corolla standout with added fuel-saving features. It boasts an efficiency-maximizing engine and transmission tuning, low-rolling-resistance tires, rear spoiler and enhanced aerodynamics. The further efficient LE Eco Plus gains fog lights, chrome window trim and Eco driving mode.

Choosing one of the sport-themed S trims means perks like unique wheel covers, chrome grille frame, color-keyed mirrors with signal repeaters, rear spoiler chrome exhaust tip, sport front seats, sport driving mode, sport instrumentation and leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters. The S Plus and S Premium gain added bonuses, such as firmer suspension tuning.

If you-re going to spend any time behind the wheel of a car, you should definitely do it in a car you can feel safe in. Enter the 2015 Corolla that shows off solid safety equipment and excellent crash test scores. All 2015 models of the Corolla boasts stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, driver knee airbag and passenger-seat cushion airbag. Also standard on all (excluding the base L) is a rearview camera.

In government crash tests, the Corolla received a perfect five star rating in overall protection and frontal and side impacts. In testing by the IIHS, the Corolla also received top marks in moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength tests.

The interior of the 2015 Corolla is the most appealing offered thus far with a stylish dashboard, sporty flourishes and easy-to-use technology. The 6.1-inch touchscreen standard in all models, excluding the base L, is a consumer pleaser with large, virtual buttons, simple, clear graphics and quick inputs.

Space in the 2015 Corolla is more-than-generous, which is one of its top selling points.
