Neglecting routine maintenance on your car is the quickest way to incur costly repair bills down the road. Just like you need a glass of water if you’re running a marathon, your Toyota needs its fluids replenished and changed every few thousand miles. This is one of the best preventative measures you can perform on your automobile to keep it running on the road. more Oil Your cars’ oil is one of the most important things to keep track of. At any given moment, the engine in your Toyota is generating an unbelievable amount of heat. Oil lubricates the moving parts and allows them to function properly and efficiently. (Change every 3,000-5,000 miles) Coolant The coolant in your car serves two primary purposes. It keeps your car's radiator from overheating and helps regulate the levels of heat that your engine generates (replace every 2-3 years). Transmission Fluid While you only have to check/replace the transmission fluid every 50,000-100,000 miles, it serves vital importance to your Toyota functioning properly. Your transmission allows your gears to shift when your car accelerates and decelerates. It’s a very tricky procedure to check it, so get a professional to assist you. Brake Fluid Much like your transmission fluid and coolant, brake fluid doesn’t need to be checked and changed often (every 2 years is fine.) However, if you live in a warm climate, it’s a good idea to have it checked whenever you get your oil changed. Brakes work by friction which generates a lot of heat, and this can have an adverse effect on the fluid as well as the brakes themselves. Power Steering Fluid Power steering has been a standard issue on many cars for a long time, so it’s easy to take for granted. However, without power steering, making a turn would be stiff and even somewhat difficult. You don’t need to worry about getting the reservoir flushed, just be sure to top it off from time to time. Windshield Wiper/Washer Fluid Just because this is the least vital of the fluids in your car, it’s still essential. Much like the power steering fluid in your car, the reservoir doesn’t need to be flushed or maintained, just add fluid whenever necessary.

The new year brings hopes of rejuvenation and renewal. Coincidentally, a new year also means that automobile manufacturers will be releasing several new models that will catch the eye of critics and consumers alike. With both of these variables now in the air, why not combine them both and start the new year off by leasing a brand-new Toyota? If this is your first rodeo, allow us to explain why leasing might be one of the best choices you make in 2022. more What is Leasing? You might have seen “for lease” signs attached to certain rental properties while you’re out and about. Leasing a car is best explained as a rental agreement. Just like an apartment, you make a monthly payment for usage but don’t own the property outright. Why Should I Lease a New Toyota? Ever since they began arriving in the states during the mid-1950s, Toyota vehicles have adhered to the highest standards of quality. Known for their long-lasting road life and above-average reliability, Toyota vehicles go the extra mile for drivers and consumers. Both literally and figuratively. As we’ve seen with the recent development of EVs (Electric Vehicles), technology that propels the automotive industry forward is in a consistent state of evolution. Leasing a new Toyota allows you to stay up to date with all these changes. Because a lease agreement lasts for roughly 2-3 years, you’ll always be driving forward without falling behind. Some Factors to Consider While leasing a new Toyota is one of the best ways to kick off the new year, it’s certainly not for everyone. Aside from the obvious financial commitment, leasing a vehicle is a large responsibility. Because you’re renting it, you’ll have to keep it as clean as possible or you’ll be charged a fee when you return your vehicle. Routine maintenance to keep your Toyota running in pristine shape also falls upon your shoulders. Any repairs that need to be taken care of when your vehicle is returned will most like be charged to you, this also applies to any dings and scratches that are visible. However, if you’re ready to take on the responsibility, leasing a 2022 Toyota will afford you the quality of life you deserve.

What makes a Toyota car great? Well, a lot of things, but today we want to go over some specific advantages to owning a Toyota. This is Marianna Toyota’s case for why you should stick with the best manufacturer in the market. more Why Are Toyotas So Reliable? The consumer reports conclude that Toyota is near the top of the industry in reliability with an aggregate score of 78/100. We put a heavy emphasis on three critical areas: making features the right way, optimal functionality, and durability. 1. New Features Done Carefully & Effectively Sometimes, car buyers encounter the frustration of car makers forcing unwanted features upon them. Toyota despises this mentality. Toyota is a Japanese manufacturer that has done so well serving Americans with a conservative approach to new features. We don’t like to rush anything and always listen carefully to consumer feedback. For one thing, safety is a big deal to us. For example, we know we cannot afford to risk putting new/un-tested lighting systems onto new models if we aren’t certain they’ll meet safety expectations. 2. Function Is More Important Than Form There are plenty of vehicles that pay more attention to things like off-roading, power, and speed. While we have nothing against these driving aspects per se, Toyota prefers to start its manufacturing process from a more functional foundation. We want to make sure your vehicle is comfortable, safe, and won’t break constantly before we focus on exterior aesthetics. Plus, we’re confident that we don’t have to resort to making something slow/ugly just to satisfy those objectives. 3. Toyotas Are Durable As we said, durability is king with Toyota because we know it’s what our loyal customers have come to expect. Some of our models, like the Toyota Camry, are well known for lasting many more years and miles compared to the competition. Other makers can produce nice cars, but how sure are you that you won’t spend a fortune paying for repairs all the time? Shop Marianna Toyota Marianna Toyota carries so many reliable, safe, durable, and well-manufactured Toyota vehicles. You can verify that yourself by trying our car finder feature, which helps you investigate all our models and identify the best match. We only want you to get the right car for you.

With Tesla dominating the market when it comes to electric cars, the roads officially been paved for other car manufacturers to try their hand with the alternative to gasoline. It’s been done for years and now Toyota is introducing their latest rendition with the 2022 Toyota BZ4X. The BZ4X will be sold at dealers nationwide and is separating itself from other models with an edgier style topped off with performance to match. You can expect it to hit showrooms sometime in 2022. more The Price In terms of price, there are three tiers to choose from to fit any budget and those tiers are the LE model, XLE model, and the Limited model. Each of these will be sold at a few grand apart. The LE is looking to be priced at and estimated $37,000; XLE at $39,000; and the Limited BZ4X will come in at an estimated $42,000. Between the highest and lowest models there’s about a $5,000 difference. These are just estimates and Toyota hasn’t come out with an official price, but you can expect the models to be in that range. The Engine There hasn’t been much said about the specs but given the information that has been released on the BZ4X, rumor has it that the car will have dual electric motors with at least one of them powering each axel. This is based off of other models in the past. With a formula that works in design, there isn’t much reason to tweak it. The Transmission In terms of the powertrain, the only thing that has been said is that the BZ4X will offer four-wheel drive, always popular add on for drivers. With the model having all wheel drive, this is what fueled the speculation for the car having electric motors. With that being said, one other addition could having the all wheel drive route system route power from one electric motor to both axels.
