2010 4Runner with Multi-Terrain Selector

Nice video explanation of the new 4Runner’s Multi-Terrain Selector. I’ve driven a new 4Runner at my Toyota Libertyville dealer, and I even had the chance to experiment with the Multi-Terrain feature. I must say that if I owned one of these vehicles (which I hopefully will soon), you couldn’t keep me on roads.

When I was at the Toyota dealership in Libertyville test-driving the 4Runner, I could’t help but love all of the upgrades that came along with the four-wheel-drive as well.

Toyota Prius could be available as wagon or SUV soon

The most popular hybrid in the world is about to get a little more popular. When most people think of the Toyota Prius, they envision a small-sized hatchback; soon, there may be no standard body style that comes to mind. There’s strong word the Prius will not only be sold in its familiar sedan form, but as a wagon or SUV (or maybe both) by the end of next year. … Continue Reading

Toyota over 2 million Hybrids sold

Toyota prevails once again. And again in the hybrid market. In February of this year, Toyota hit its mark of selling 1 million hybrid vehicles, and in early August, a short 6 months later, has reached the 2 million mark in global hybrid sales.

Although these numbers are impressive comparatively, it took a bit of time for the hybrid trend to take off. … Continue Reading

If I were to name two models they would without a doubt be the Camry and the Highlander. You can’t get two more practical vehicles, or maybe if you combine their traits you can. That’s what we see with the Toyota Venza. The Venza is all things great about Toyota and an incredibly rewarding drive that incorporates tons of interior cargo space. That’s exactly what I had in mind when I visited a Toyota Libertyville dealer shopping for a new ride. I wasn’t sold on the Venza at first, thinking I might prefer the Highlander. But once I got to know the Venza, that changed.     … Continue Reading

Unfortunately, there is no sure way to anticipate all the twists and turns life throws at you. Some obstacles are nothing more than a subtle hiccup in your day– so you forgot your credit card on the kitchen counter, no big deal, right?.

Others obstacles are slightly more obtrusive– like when you realize your Blackberry was left on the counter next to the credit card. You were in a rush and will be home shortly so life moves on relatively unchanged, right?

Then, you take the back roads home that night and find your vehicle in an unfortunate wildlife related entanglement. So what happens now?
