When you bought your Toyota car, truck, or SUV, you knew you could rely on its legendary build quality for years of commutes, road trips, and more. Of course, to help it live up to its potential, you need to keep up with proper and timely maintenance. We’ve written about proper maintenance schedules before on our blog, but here, we’ll discuss why you should get your Toyota worked on at a dealership like Team Toyota, instead of a third-party mechanic. more Genuine Toyota Parts At a third-party mechanic, they’ll use whatever parts they can scrounge to repair your car. Reputable ones might order high-quality parts, but you’ll have to rely on customer reviews or your trust of the mechanic to guess whether those parts will last any amount of time. By servicing your Toyota at Team Toyota, you can take the guesswork out of the quality of replacement parts in your car. We use only official Toyota parts, which are machined specifically for your Toyota model to the manufacturer’s exacting specifications, so you can be sure the replacement parts will last as long as the originals. Factory-Trained Technicians Mom-and-pop mechanics need to be generalists and know something about every type of car that might come through their shop. By contrast, our service technicians have been trained by the Toyota factory to know your Toyota inside and out, meaning they can more easily and accurately diagnose and repair whatever issue you might have. In addition, we have a deep knowledge of every Toyota model’s service schedule, meaning we can top off your oil, replace your timing belts, or do a number of other routine maintenance tasks as a matter of course when you bring your Toyota in for service.

Summer is the perfect season for a new car: the summer sun, newfound free time, and fun drives around southern Louisiana beckon for a new driving experience. Of course, the savvy driver understands that "new" doesn't have to mean more than "new to you!" more A used SUV, car, or truck comes with nearly every benefit of a brand-new vehicle, with none of the drawbacks. You can enjoy the assurance and reliability of a new car with Toyota's Certified Used Vehicle program and build quality. And when buying a used car from Team Toyota, you won't have to worry about the dreaded depreciation of a new car while still enjoying modern technology. Buying a Used Truck, SUV, or Car Means More Bang for your Buck Obviously, the sticker price of a used vehicle is lower than a new one. What might not be so obvious is what factors into that lower price, and how those factors can lead to cheaper leadership throughout your life with a used car. During the first three years of a car's life, it loses about 40% of its value through depreciation (though of course, that number depends on the make, model, year, and options of the car -- Toyotas, in particular, hold their values better than average). After those first three years, they depreciate much more slowly, meaning that on average, you'll save $14,000 over the life of your vehicle by purchasing one that's three years old over a new one. Since a used car is valued less than a new car, it insures for less as well. But how can you save even more?! Our used specials will help you get into a new-to-you used vehicle without breaking the bank. Additionally, there are savings that you can get from cheaper licensing, registration, and inspection fees in most states, and it begins to make even more financial sense to buy used! Peace of Mind Comes Easily with Legendary Toyota Reliability The main worry about buying a used SUV, car, or truck is how well it'll stay in good condition under your care. With Toyota's well-known build quality, it's no wonder so many used trucks, cars, and SUVs on the road today are Toyotas: they're just well-built and hold their value longer. In fact, they're so confident about the build quality that they implemented the Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Program to provide even more peace of mind to their customers. A Certified Used Toyota is so much more than just a used car. Before it hits the lot, it's subjected to a 160-point inspection to ensure its quality, and afterward, it's covered by Toyota's Certified Used Warranty. With the guarantee that all Toyota Certified Used SUVs, trucks, and cars are younger than six years and have fewer than 85,000 miles, you'll have plenty of time to drive around your used Toyota. Pick up a used car, truck, or SUV in Baton Rouge today! Whether you're commuting from Gonzales, raising a family in Zachary, or working in Denham Springs, Team Toyota has the perfect used truck, car, or SUV for you!  We've got used Camrys, pre-owned Tundras, used Corollas, and a wide selection of other used and new Toyotas on our lot!

You are going to see many great new features on the new 2020 Corolla. Toyota has done an amazing job creating something completely new and different from previous Corollas. The exterior design has been given a touch of aggressiveness. The electronic features, from safety to entertainment systems, make you realize how far Toyota technology is advancing. There is an impressive amount of power under the hood as well, so it is going to be able to take you absolutely anywhere you want to go. more All-New Design for the 2020 Corolla The design of the 2020 Corolla has undoubtedly taken a huge turn from its normal appearance. It sits wide and low, which makes for an aggressive look. This is an entirely new look for the Corolla series. The headlights are LED, with both strong lighting and appearance. They go seamlessly with the new grille. You will find the grille to be a showstopper. It has a honeycomb pattern and the insert is sport mesh, all of which are done in sharp black color. While it might not always be the thing that is most talked about, this grille is a huge factor in the style of this car, noting how the attention to details has really made this Corolla one of a kind. Another huge addition is the optional 18” machine alloy wheels. While the 15” option comes standard, the 18” take this impressive vehicle up another notch. In continuing with all of this, you can opt for the dark gray metallic sport accents, which you will see on the rear spoiler, diffuser, and side rocker panels. What does the new Corolla have under the hood? A 2.0L Dynamic Force engine is what comes standard for the new Corolla. There is also a Dynamic Shift-CVT that you can opt for. Another exciting addition is the 6-speed intelligent manual transmission. Paddle shifters are even available, which will keep your hands on the wheel while things stay exciting. When you enable sports mode, the engine control unit is engaged allowing for even more fun while driving around. With all of the other amazing updates of the Corolla, the upgrades in power are one of the best new additions. There is also a hybrid option available if staying far from the gas station sounds great to you. With the hybrid, you will reach an EPA-estimated 52 combined mpg, which is far higher than any other mpg Corolla has ever been able to offer. There is a 7 inch multi-information display waiting to show all of this information off to you in bright color and clear detail. You will always know what is going on in your ride, as it should be. Safety Features on the new 2020 Corolla The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is a pre-collision system that comes standard with the new Corolla, which means that from the very start you can ride knowing that you and all of your passengers are set up with a fabulous safety system. A pre-collision system means that there is pedestrian detection, so pedestrians, cars, or cyclists can at times be detected by the vehicle before you see them. This is made possible by a millimeter-wave radar being coupled with a shape recognition camera. When brakes are not engaged in time, they are activated for you which helps to protect everyone in the situation of the potential frontal collision. Another feature on the Safety Sense is the lane departure alert. The steering assist and road edge detection systems will keep you where you need to be by putting out an alert over your car’s speakers in addition to putting a warning message on your front screen. If neither of these two alerts get you back to being where you need to be, the car will add corrective steering to keep you in your lane. Another feature that will not only be great for you but for other motorists is that automatic high beams. They are capable of toggling between high and low beam when it detects other car’s headlights coming your way. This will take away the constant switching back and forth while on the road late at night. Find your 2020 Corolla at Team Toyota We are happy to help you choose the right vehicle for you. You can also get pre-approved online before you even visit our dealership in Baton Rouge. Join the team today! Call or visit Team Toyota today to begin the search for your new 2020 Corolla.

Of course, that was the first-generation Tundra, which looked a lot like the present-day Toyota Tacoma. The second and current generation of the Toyota Tundra came about in the Fall of 2006, and it has made a name for itself as an absolute workhorse, and then some. First off, you should know that the base model of the Toyota Tundra is rated to tow a 10,200-pound load, which is not a small towing capacity by any stretch. But as a testament to the engineering might behind the Tundra, on October 12th, 2012, the Space Shuttle Endeavor was towed by a base-model Tundra across the Manchester Boulevard Bridge on its way to the California Science Center. The usual transportation arrangements for the space shuttle were too heavy for the bridge capacity, so the Tundra dug in and towed the shuttle, the transporter system, and the support beams- a payload coming to a grand total of 292,500 pounds. That’s right folks, the Toyota Tundra hauled just over 28.5 times its rated towing capacity up and over a bridge in 5 minutes without a single upgrade, and it never broke a sweat. Some might say sure, that’s an insane amount of strength, but surely that kind of capability results in a shorter vehicle lifespan- after all, nothing can be in the prime of its life forever- right? Well, while it may not last forever, if you take care of the Toyota Tundra as recommended by the factory recommended service schedule, it can last ridiculously longer than you’d expect. Take Victor Sheppard of Houma, Louisiana for example. Over the course of 8 years, Victor logged over 1,000,000 miles on his 2007 Tundra, servicing it a total of 117 times. Upon realizing this incredible record, Toyota USA traded Victor a new 2016 Tundra for his legendary truck so that it could be studied for further engineering durability improvement. This sort of lifetime on a truck, or any vehicle for that matter, is unprecedented, and speaks volumes for the engineers at Toyota. As you can see, there’s simply no job too big or too far that the Toyota Tundra can’t handle, so hurry in to Team Toyota to get yours today.
