Incoming! It's the 2015 Toyota 4Runner TRD


Toyota is amping up the awesomeness of the 4Runner! How, might you ask? By releasing the 2015 Toyota Tundra TRD! Of course, you get to hear such great news by us at Larry H. Miller Toyota Corona when we bring it to you.

Here’s some of what what Wes Raynal, from Autoweek, had to say about this new 4Runner, and you can read his full article here: http://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/2015-toyota-4runner-trd-pro-review-notes

“…Once hoisted on up in there, it is fine, though. The Toyota’s V6 with 270 hp won’t win any races, but that’s not what this is about, anyway. The powertrain overall feels a bit agricultural, but in this application I feel it’s somehow appropriate. The five-speed transmission (a five-speed! Talk about old school) is smooth and the ride is OK -- it can get bouncy, though I’m guessing that’s down to the TRD equipment, eh? Didn’t go off-road but would like to -- I suspect with the big tires and off-road shocks and skid plates it would be beastly in some muddy woods.

There’s a nice high commanding view out and the interior is well laid-out and logical if a little hollow sounding when doors are shut and such. There’s a lot of hard plastic surfaces in there, too.

The 4Runner is 30 this year and according to toyota.com with 90 percent of ’em sold in the last decade still going. That’s impressive.”

The Toyota FCV: Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicle.


Toyota is taking the lead with Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles. Recently, Toyota announced the concept called the FCV, which will be debuting at the upcoming LA Auto show. A vehicle like this shows the innovation and drive that Toyota has to making vehicles that are more geared towards the future, and vehicles that are Eco-friendly to the environment. Toyota was the first with the Prius and now it’s time to take the next step with FCV. As always, you can count on Larry H. Miller Toyota Corona to bring you any and all news related to Toyota.

Here’s what ALEXANDER STOKLOSA from Car and Driver had to say about the release of Toyota’s fuel-cell concept.

“…Toyota has been vocal about readying a new hydrogen-fueled vehicle for 2015, and after recently revealing some details about the car…”

“Hydrogen cars need to carry a lot of gear, including a hydrogen fuel tank, the fuel-cell stacks that convert the hydrogen to electricity, and an electric motor for propulsion. Toyota placed the fuel-cell stacks underneath the front seats, the main hydrogen tank under the rears, and even shoehorned a second fuel tank into the lower trunk area.”
