This Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition is rugged enough and fully equipped for going off-road to hunt, hike, climb or for a day at the shore and is good looking enough to take to the Commodore’s Ball at the Yacht Club or the Ducks Unlimited dinner. Going off-road? In addition to four wheel drive, Westin brush guards, fog lights and running boards (over $2,000 aftermarket cost), it comes with skid plates, a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), and increased clearance. For really tough terrain, there is crawl control, downhill assist control and active traction control. And it runs so quiet; you can drive up on many beautiful sights without being noticed. It tows boats and trailers with ease using an integrated tow hitch receiver with both 4-pin & 7-pin connector wiring harnesses.

For a day at the beach or running errands, you get plenty of cargo space, roof rails that will take standard paddleboard or kayak racks, Cargo area lighting w/"tailgating" speaker amplifier feature for outside entertainment, two 120V outlets, and a retractable rear floor that makes loading easy or acts as a picnic table.

The interior projects rugged, functional good looks. No leather and fancy displays. Cloth front bucket seats, -including 6-way manual driver seat w/power lumbar, 2nd row 40/20/40 split reclining fold-flat cloth bench seat, power glass moon roof, manual control for A/C, electronic door locks and windows, AM/FM stereo w/CD/MP3 player, including: SIRIUS XM satellite radio, Bluetooth music streaming wireless technology, (8) speakers. (2) aux audio input jacks, USB Port, 12V DC power outlets, hands free cellular and all of the little storage spots and cup holders you need.

In almost 50,000 miles of driving, most of it highway miles to my hunt camp in Alabama (10 trips @ 3,000 milels per trip), this car, with a 24 gal. tank, averaged 19 mpg which can be measured with the multi-information display for time, fuel consumption, cruise range, temperature and compass. It cruises great at highway speeds using a user friendly cruise control. The front & rear stabilizer bars, front & rear shock absorbers, independent double wishbone front suspension w/coil springs, and power 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes along with a 4.0L DOHC 24-valve VVT-i V6 engine and 5-speed ECT automatic transmission w/OD -including sequential shift mode give you all the power and control you need.

2014 Toyota Highlander greets the world with NYC debut

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Toyota has pulled the wraps off its all-new, 2014 Highlander in New York this morning, giving Americans a first look at what is sure to be a heavyweight in the mid-size crossover segment.
The new third-generation Highlander will come with the buyer's choice of three different powertrain options. The base model will be powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive. Next up the ladder is a 3.5-liter V6, also mated to the 6AT, which can be had with either front-or all-wheel-drive. Finally, the Highlander Hybrid will be equipped with all-wheel drive, its 3.5-liter V6 mated to an electric motor, all hooked up to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The automaker has not released any specs for fuel economy or output yet, though we're promised increases in both power and efficiency.
While not a revolution in terms of styling, Toyota has cleaned up the bodywork for the new model, offering a crisp, conservative look for the slightly larger Highlander. The vehicle is some three inches longer and an inch-and-a-half wider than the outgoing model, yet it has a lower roofline. Black plastic-clad wheel arches make an attempt to butch up the crossover, though to our eyes, the Highlander still has the look of a minivan around the rear view.

Jeremy Clarkson names 10 worst cars for 2015 and 2016

Wed, Aug 24 2016

When Jeremy Clarkson, outspoken automotive journalist, ex- Top Gear host, and co-host on The Grand Tour, drives a car he doesn't like he doesn't pull his punches. As Jezza harshly puts it, cars shouldn't just be a form of transportation. These 10 cars made Clarkson's "the terrible 10" list on his column in The Sunday Times for lacking imagination and not giving the journalist "the Fizz," which his list of top 10 cars did. In typical Clarkson fashion, the list is controversial. Some of the cars on Clarkson's list have received praise from other outlets, which shouldn't really come as a surprise since he usually goes against the majority's opinion. Nonetheless, there's at least one car that will catch you off guard. To get a glimpse at Clarkson's reviews and the entire list of cars, head over to his column in The Sunday Times.

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
