Is your family looking forward to their next vacation? Ensure your Toyota is adventure-ready with essential exterior accessories such as cross bars, additional cargo storage space, or truck bed enhancements. Interior accessories like rear entertainment systems are perfect for keeping the kids quiet so you can focus on the road ahead. Need help deciding what to get? Our Longo Toyota of Prosper team is here to help. Check out our list of must-have Toyota accessories for families. Roof Rack A roof rack is an excellent family Toyota accessory because it enhances your vehicle's versatility, allowing you to accommodate cargo and important travel essentials without compromising your seating capacity. A certified automotive technician can install a roof rack if your Toyota has roof rails. Depending on your roof rack system, it may have additional secure tie-down points so you can strap luggage or camping gear to the rack. Cross Bars Unlock your Toyota SUV's full cargo-carrying potential by adding cross bars to its roof rails. Cross bars evenly distribute your cargo's weight across both bars and feature multiple mounting points for securing accessories. If your family loves off-roading adventures or water sports, installing cross bars allows for the following Toyota exterior accessory add-ons: Rooftop upright bike mount: There's no need to remove your bike wheels for safe and secure hauling. Available Toyota bike mounts are versatile and aerodynamic, so you can carry your bike without disassembling it. Rooftop kayak mount: Depending on the mount and configuration, you can carry one or two kayaks on your Toyota, perfect for a day out in the cool waters of Lake Lewisville. Rooftop canoe mount: If canoeing is more your style, you'll appreciate having a canoe carrier on your Toyota's cross bars. Easy assembly means you'll spend less time packing your gear and more time on the water with your family. Cargo basket: Don't compromise your vehicle's seating capacity by folding down seats to make room for your travel essentials. Instead, add a cargo basket to your cross bars. This durable exterior accessory is perfect for hauling coolers, camping gear, firewood, and more. Running Boards Getting the family back into your truck or SUV after a day trip can be tricky, especially when everyone's tired and the kids need a hand. Consider installing running boards on the bottom sides of your Toyota. This convenient exterior accessory provides easier access to your vehicle, giving your passengers an additional step up to get inside. Running boards are available in a full-length platform that improves accessibility to your vehicle's driver and passenger sides. They also come in various styles. Choose off-road running boards that offer corrosion and skid resistance, or purchase running boards painted to match your Toyota's exterior for a smooth look. Truck Bed Products If you're hoping to upgrade your truck to accommodate your growing family's needs, you're in luck. We carry several truck bed accessories to enhance your vehicle's durability and versatility. A truck bed mat protects your bed liner from scuffs and scrapes when you load and offload your favorite gear. Or keep your belongings secure with a lockable tonneau cover. Tonneau covers offer double protection when it rains, keeping everything inside your truck bed clean and dry. Unique Toyota truck bed accessories include bed tents for cozy camping outside the Dallas-Fort Worth area, truck bed air mattresses for resting under the starry night sky, and bed lighting kits to enhance nighttime visibility in the great outdoors. Need better truck bed storage? Consider adding a tool box, cooler box, or hardware kit for maximum convenience. Interior Protection Accessories Whether you have a Toyota minivan or a compact sedan, without interior protection, messes can be a hassle to deal with. Protect your Toyota's carpets with the following interior protection accessories: Carpet floor mats: Toyota carpet floor mats are built to last thanks to their long-wearing and fade-resistant materials. Clean them with a quick vacuum or wipe down. All-weather floor liners or mats: Prepare your Toyota for Prosper's rainy season with all-weather floor liners and mats, featuring a weather-resistant material that's durable and easy to clean. Purchase a complete set to protect your vehicle's carpets and you'll never have to worry about muddy boots leaving stains. Cargo liners or mats: Your Toyota's cargo area deserves the same protective treatment; install a cargo liner or mat for protection against spills, scuffs, tears, and grime. Depending on the liner, it may also protect your rear seatbacks when they're folded flat. Rear-Seat Entertainment Is your Toyota your daily driver for commuting to work and dropping the kids off at school? Or is it your beloved family road trip vehicle? Whatever its function, you'll appreciate being able to drive in peace while the kids are occupied. Depending on your vehicle, you can install a Toyota rear entertainment system that fixes to the back of the front-seat headrests or drops down from the ceiling. Choose a rear entertainment system with a DVD player and stock up on your family's favorite movies to keep everyone entertained. Hire a Professional for Quality Installation Most of these Toyota accessories are quick and easy to assemble and install, so you can do it yourself. There are also tips and tricks for installation to ensure a seamless, stress-free process. However, if you'd prefer to let the professionals handle the heavy lifting, trust a certified automotive technician in Prosper, Texas, to take care of it.

Locate the navigation buttons on the left side of your steering wheel. These are a set of five buttons: a backward-facing arrow, a forward-facing arrow, an upward arrow, a downward arrow, and "OK." Keep an eye on the menu screen on the left side of your dash as you press the forward-facing arrow. Cycle through the menu until you reach the Settings submenu (represented by a gear icon). Now use the downward arrow and cycle down to "Vehicle Settings." Press the "OK" button. Use the downward arrow again to select "Scheduled Maintenance" and press "OK."

However, please keep in mind the exact price you pay for your 2024 Toyota Tundra depends on several variables. For example, opting for premium paint, the 8.1' bed,  or the larger CrewMax cab will increase the price compared to a standard color, the 6.5' bed, or the double cab. The same goes if you choose a higher trim level, upgrade the powertrain, or add options.

Toyota always puts its customers first, which means safety is a big priority when releasing new models to the public. As part of Toyota's ongoing mission to offer the safest vehicles possible and stay at the forefront of innovation, they've implemented a variety of new safety features in their latest releases. Here, we'll go on a deep dive into a few of the most exciting new features available, including what Toyota Safety Connect is and how to set it up. We'll also take a look at accompanying safety features that will add even more peace of mind to every drive. Key Features of Toyota Safety Connect Toyota Safety Connect is a suite of advanced safety features that add an extra layer of protection for you and your passengers while you're on the road and even when you're nowhere near your car. Here are some closer details about everything you'll get when you subscribe to Toyota Safety Connect: Emergency Assistance Button Accidents happen, and when you experience an emergency while on the road, you want a rapid response that ensures you and everyone else involved can get the attention they need. That's where the Emergency Assistance button comes in. By pressing this button, you'll connect immediately with a live response center, which is always available. This means you can get emergency services and medical attention no matter the time of day or where you are. Access to quick services can make all the difference after an accident, especially a collision that causes significant damage. Enhanced Roadside Assistance Roadside assistance has never been so accessible as it is with Toyota Safety Connect. Using the same button you push to call emergency assistance, you can instantly call for roadside assistance to meet you wherever you are. Whether you've gotten into an accident or are experiencing a mechanical breakdown, Enhanced Roadside Assistance allows you to get help fast and get back on your way. Stolen Vehicle Locator Few things are more stressful than walking out to discover that your car has been stolen. However, if you have Toyota Safety Connect, there are a few ways you can make the situation a little easier to handle. To use the Stolen Vehicle Locator services, your first step is to go to your local police station and file an official police report. Once this is complete, you can contact Toyota's response center, available 24/7, and let them know what happened. The Toyota response team will then work along with local police to find your car by accessing cutting-edge GPS technology that will give them the live location of the vehicle. While it used to be almost impossible to imagine finding a stolen car in the past, Toyota Safety Connect makes it possible and simpler than you could imagine. Automatic Collision Notification One of the most important aspects of Toyota Safety Connect is that help is always there, as shown with the Automatic Collision Notification. Toyota's response centers are open 24/7, and they get a notification automatically whenever a Toyota vehicle equipped with this service deploys its airbags or gets rear-ended. After calling to talk to the driver, a response center agent will call whatever emergency services are needed without the driver having to lift a finger. How To Set Up Toyota Safety Connect Setting up your Toyota Safety Connect services is as easy as scrolling the web. All you need to do is install the Toyota app on your phone from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Next, create a Toyota Owners Account account and add your vehicle by tapping the "Add Vehicle" button and inputting your car's VIN. Don't forget to choose Longo Toyota of Prosper as your preferred dealer, and you'll get a free trial. As soon as you log into your account and activate your Toyota Safety Connect services, you'll be good to go. Before your free trial ends, set up a subscription through the app to keep your services active. You'll also want to update your app regularly so you can always access the newest perks and services in Toyota Safety Connect. Even More New Toyota Safety Features When you activate Toyota Safety Connect, you'll feel safer than ever, but there are more features you can add to enhance your drive. If you want more than the basic services, you can choose from optional add-ons like Integrated Streaming and Drive Connect. With Integrated Streaming, you'll be able to connect your Amazon Music and Apple Music accounts to your car and tune in to your favorite music or podcasts with ease. Drive Connect helps keep you safe by offering updated navigation and a virtual assistant as well as live-agent navigation assistance when you need extra help. Aside from connected services, many Toyota models come equipped with Toyota Safety Sense. This is a suite of features that do much of the work for you in terms of staying safe while you drive. There are several driver-assist technologies included, like a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection that alerts you when a hazard is about to cross your path. Other advanced safety features in Toyota Safety Sense include dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, and lane departure alert with steering assist, all of which can be especially helpful while cruising the highway. Typically, you'll even get automatic high beams and road sign assist.

The Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic aren't just specific automotive models but families of compact passenger vehicles available in multiple body styles. They also share a standing as two of the most popular and best-reviewed names in their class. Let's examine the key characteristics of the 2024 Corolla vs. the Honda Civic, so you have a clearer understanding of how they compare. Overview of the 2024 Corolla and Honda Civic The 2024 Corolla is available in six distinctive models. These include the following: Corolla: The flagship Corolla is a five-seat sedan, ideal for families, commuters, and road trippers. Corolla Hatchback: The hatchback version is more suitable if you want a little more cargo capacity in your everyday drive. Corolla Hybrid: The Corolla Hybrid pairs a gas engine with an electric motor for a major boost in fuel efficiency. GR Corolla: The GR Corolla is a sport-tuned performance model capable of exhilarating speeds. Corolla Cross: The Corolla Cross is a reimagining of the Corolla passenger car as a subcompact crossover SUV. Corolla Cross Hybrid: The Cross Hybrid, like the Corolla Hybrid, ups your gas mileage with its gas engine/electric motor combination. The 2024 Honda Civic also has many faces, but its variety spreads across only four models, with no hybrid model: Civic Sedan: The Civic Sedan is Honda's counterpart to the Toyota Corolla, the flagship everyday vehicle that seats up to five people. Civic Hatchback: The same goes for the Civic Hatchback, whose roomier rear area accommodates more cargo. Civic Si Sedan: This sport-injected model is a sportier version of the common Civic. Civic Type R: The Type R model is the high-performance version of the hatchback, a vehicle aimed at speedsters and racing enthusiasts. Style Despite the broad range of body styles, you'll notice some common stylistic features within each model family. The 2024 Corollas, gently sloped at both the front and the back ends, lean toward the sleek and elegant end of the spectrum. This quality comes into stark relief with styling options such as the Nightshade Package, characterized by a black-painted rear spoiler and sport side rocker panels, blackout badging, black heated power side mirrors, a black roof-mounted shark-fin antenna, and 18-inch bronze-finished alloy wheels. In comparison, the 2024 Civic presents a more straightforward design. Although the front end has a somewhat more elongated appearance that's modest with distinguishing features, it encompasses an overall athletic look that aligns with Honda's focus on sportiness. This quality is accentuated with the HPD Package, which adds the HPD emblem, an HPD decklid spoiler, and HPD underbody spoilers. Powertrain and Performance Looking at only the standard powertrain option for each of the flagship sedans and hatchback models, it is clear that the 2024 Toyota Corolla has an edge over the Honda Civic. The Corolla features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 169 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque, which can get you from zero to 60 mph in a little over 8 seconds. The Civic also comes standard with a four-cylinder engine, but it maxes out at 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, going from zero to 60 mpg in 9.7 seconds, according to Consumer Reports. The hot-hatch models are more evenly matched. The 2024 GR Corolla boasts a turbocharged three-cylinder engine that generates 300 hp, whereas the Civic Type R has an I-4 that puts out 315 hp. But even with the extra horsepower, the Civic Type R can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, just like the GR Corolla. Additionally, the GR Corolla reaches 100 mph at a faster clip — 11.4 seconds versus the Type R's 12.1 seconds. Fuel Economy Fuel economy varies greatly across models, powertrains, and drivetrains, but the 2024 Corolla has the overall advantage over the Civic in this category as well. Refer to the table below to see the best fuel economy rating for each member of the Corolla and Civic family. The table is arranged so that equivalent models are easily compared side-by-side. Type/Class Toyota (City/Highway) Honda (City/Highway) Sedan Corolla Sedan: 32/41 mpg. Civic Sedan: 31/40 mpg. Hatchback Corolla Hatchback: 32/41 mpg. Civic Hatchback: 31/39 mpg. Crossover Corolla Cross: 31/33 mpg. N/A Performance GR Corolla: 21/28 mpg. Civic Si: 27/37 mpg. Civic Type R: 22/28 mpg. Hybrid Corolla Hybrid: 50/43 mpg. Corolla Cross Hybrid: 45/38 mpg. N/A Safety and Driver-Assistance Features The 2024 Toyota Corolla and 2024 Honda Civic have both received excellent safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, with most areas receiving a Superior or Good designation. Although both also received five-star safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Civic Sedan and Civic Hatchback are currently the subjects of a recall for incorrectly assembled steering racks. Pricing On top of everything else, the Corolla is also the more affordable option, partly due to the wider variety available within each model. Here are the price ranges for each 2024 Corolla model based on starting MSRPs across trim levels: Corolla: $22,050 to $27,150. Corolla Hatchback: $23,505 to $26,805. Corolla Hybrid: $23,500 to $27,250. GR Corolla: $36,500 to $45,140. Corolla Cross: $23,860 to $28,085. Corolla Cross Hybrid: $28,220 to $31,405. Here are the price ranges for the 2024 Honda Civic models: Civic Sedan: $23,950 to $30,550. Civic Hatchback: $24,950 to $31,450. Civic Si: $29,100. Civic Type R: $44,795.

Full-size SUVs are among the most popular vehicles in the United States, and two of the best representatives of this class are Toyota and Chevrolet. The Toyota Sequoia and the Chevrolet Tahoe are roughly comparable models that consistently vie for supremacy among U.S. auto buyers. Let's examine the key characteristics of the 2024 Toyota Sequoia vs. the Chevrolet Tahoe to help you decide between them. What Are The Specs? The 2024 Toyota Sequoia and Chevrolet Tahoe are direct competitors in full-size SUVs. The Sequoia is available in five trim levels, with the following key standard features: SR5: Panoramic view monitor, power tilt/slide moonroof and sliding sunshade, 8-inch multimedia touchscreen, and an eight-speaker audio system. Limited: SofTex-trimmed seats, heated and ventilated eight-way power front-row seats, heated steering wheel, 14-inch multimedia touch screen, and an eight-speaker audio system. Platinum: Premium LED headlights, daytime running lights, power tilt/slide panoramic roof and power sunshade, second-row captain's chairs, 14-inch multimedia touchscreen, and a 14-speaker audio system with subwoofer and amplifier. TRD Pro: Off-road suspension, Black TOYOTA heritage grill with LED light bar and amber marker lights, dual-tip exhaust, and a leather-trimmed manual tilt/telescopic heated steering wheel. Capstone: Leather-trimmed seats with contrast stitching, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, power-extending running boards, and a 10-inch color head-up display. The Tahoe comes in the following six varieties: LS: Premium Smooth Ride suspension and chrome roof-rack side rails. LT: Auto-dimming rearview mirror, wireless charging for one compatible mobile device, hands-free programmable liftgate, and a nine-speaker audio system. RST: Jet Black interior, monochromatic black grille, and trim-specific badging. Z71: Recovery hooks, skid plate, and tubular assist steps. Premier: Magnetic Ride Control and a 10-speaker surround-sound audio system. High Country: Magnetic Ride Control with adaptive suspension and trim-specific grille, sill plates, and interior stitching. Updates for the 2024 Model Year Though neither model has undergone a redesign for the 2024 model year, the Toyota Sequoia offers a few updates to get excited about, such as: Nightshade Edition: The Nightshade Edition is a design package available on a range of Toyota models, including the 2024 Sequoia Limited trim level. The 20-inch matte-black alloy wheels, blacked-out exterior, and black badging lend a bolder look to the already fierce design of this full-size SUV. Expanded availability of the TRD Off-Road package: What was once available only on the Sequoia Limited has now expanded to the Platinum trim level. The TRD Off-Road package enhances your vehicle's capabilities with an off-road suspension system, skid plate, electronically controlled locking rear differential, crawl control, hill-descent control, and off-road-specific driving modes. The Chevrolet Tahoe doesn't offer updates for the new year, so it's a carryover from the 2023 model. Exterior Dimensions The 2024 Toyota Sequoia and Chevrolet Tahoe are approximately the same in their exterior dimensions but different enough to matter in tighter urban and residential driving environments. The Sequoia is the more modestly sized model, measuring 208.1 inches long and 79.8 inches wide. It comes in varying heights depending on the trim and drivetrain configuration. The lowest-set models are the SR5 four-wheel drive (4WD), Limited two-wheel drive (2WD), Platinum 2WD, and Capstone 2WD, which all measure 74.2 inches tall. The following levels are the SR5 2WD, Platinum 4WD, and Capstone 4WD, which stand at 74.5 inches high. That leaves the Limited 4WD, which stands at 74.6 inches, and the TRD Pro, which is 77.7 inches tall. In comparison, the dimensions of the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe are consistent across all trim levels: 210.7 inches long, 81 inches wide, and 75.9 inches tall. Its horizontal dimensions may challenge some drivers, as the added bulk can complicate gauging one's distance from objects to the vehicle's front, rear, and sides. Interior Accommodation The Sequoia and the Tahoe are three-row vehicles with spacious cabins that accommodate up to eight people. The Sequoia features second-row captain's chairs as standard for the Platinum, TRD Pro, and Capstone trims, a more comfortable and convenient arrangement that reduces overall seating to seven. Powertrain, Drivetrain, and Performance The 2024 Toyota Sequoia is unique among top full-size SUVs in that it forgoes a V-8 powertrain in favor of a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 hybrid, which outperforms the Tahoe with 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque. Apart from the 4WD-exclusive TRD Pro, all trims are rear-wheel drive (RWD) as standard, with 4WD being available as an upgrade. The Sequoia's impressive acceleration takes you from zero to 60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Also, when properly equipped, it can tow up to 9,520 pounds, depending on your trim and drivetrain configuration. In contrast, the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe offers two drivetrain options. The LS, LT, RST, Z71, and Premier trims come standard with a 5.3-liter V-8 generating 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, whereas the High Country trim features a 6.2-liter V-8 that produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Every trim is available in either RWD or 4WD, except for the 4WD-only Z71. The zero-to-60-mph times may hover at or above seven seconds, depending on your engine, and the towing capacity maxes out at 8,400 pounds. Fuel Economy Overall, the 2024 Toyota Sequoia is the more fuel-efficient option. RWD models get an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, while 4WD obtains 19 and 22 mpg, respectively. In comparison, the Taho achieves 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway across all trims and both drivetrain options.

Toyota has a reputation for manufacturing some of the longest-lasting vehicles on the market. However, to get the best longevity from your Toyota, you need to take proper care of it. This means adhering to the Toyota maintenance schedule. Following this schedule not only extends the life of your Toyota but also reduces repair costs and retains a higher resale value. Our team at Longo Toyota of Prosper has listed everything you need to know about the Toyota maintenance schedule, including which tasks you have to do and when. What Is the Toyota Maintenance Schedule? Toyota uses the same maintenance schedule recommendations for each of its models. So whether you're driving the latest Toyota Corolla or the Toyota Tundra, you can follow the maintenance schedule listed below. Toyota recommends that you bring your vehicle in for maintenance every 5,000 miles or every six months. The maintenance jobs performed during your visit will depend on the total mileage or age of your vehicle. 6 Months or 5,000 Miles Every 5,000 miles or six months, Toyota recommends the following maintenance items: Engine oil change. Engine coolant, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, air-conditioning coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid inspection and adjustment. Tire rotation. Brake lining and disc inspection. Wiper blade inspection. The above items are the ones that typically wear down the fastest, not only in Toyota models but also in other vehicles. This is why it's recommended that you take care of these components more frequently. 12 Months or 10,000 Miles At this interval, you'll perform all the same maintenance tasks listed in the previous section. However, you'll also need to replace the cabin air filter to help your vehicle perform more efficiently and keep the air inside your car cleaner. 18 Months or 15,000 Miles After driving 15,000 miles or for 18 months, your vehicle needs significantly more maintenance. In addition to the previous maintenance items, this interval also includes inspections of the following: Ball joints, brake lines, and hoses. Drive shaft boots. Engine coolant. Exhaust pipes and mountings. Radiator and condenser. Steering gear, steering linkage, and boots. Rear differential oil and transfer case oil. 36 Months or 30,000 Miles After driving your Toyota for about three years, your vehicle should get the following services: Transmission inspection. Fuel line inspection. Cabin and engine air filter replacement. Motor oil and engine filter change. 72 Months or 60,000 Miles Finally, when your Toyota hits around 60,000 miles or 72 months, you'll want to replace the spark plugs. This is about the life span of typical spark plugs, and replacing them now can ensure your vehicle continues to start properly. Thankfully, replacing the spark plugs is one of the more affordable and easier maintenance tasks. The Importance of Regular Toyota Maintenance The importance of Toyota maintenance can't be overstated. By prioritizing maintenance, Toyota owners not only enhance their driving experience but also safeguard their investment in a reliable and durable car. There are a few benefits of getting regular maintenance on your Toyota vehicle. Better Performance Regular Toyota maintenance is crucial for ensuring optimal performance. Timely oil changes, air filter replacements, and engine tuneups contribute to the smooth functioning of your vehicle. Neglecting these routine tasks can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, sluggish acceleration, and overall poor performance. Adhering to scheduled service intervals enhances the efficiency of essential components, promoting a responsive and reliable driving experience. Improved Longevity Investing in routine maintenance significantly extends the life span of your Toyota. Components such as the engine, transmission, and braking system require consistent care to prevent premature wear and tear. Following Toyota's recommended maintenance schedule helps identify potential issues early on, allowing for timely repairs. This proactive approach contributes to the overall longevity of your vehicle, ensuring that you can enjoy a reliable and durable Toyota for many years. Safer Driving A vehicle that's properly maintained is a safer vehicle. Many car accidents are caused by components within the vehicle breaking down unexpectedly. You don't want to be driving along at night when suddenly your headlights go out or driving in the rain when the brakes use the last of their tread. When you bring your vehicle in for maintenance, our certified experts inspect all the parts that contribute to keeping you safe on the road. If there are any issues, we can address them before they cause a more serious problem. Lower Repair Costs Regular maintenance not only prevents major breakdowns but also helps in cost management. Addressing minor issues during routine servicing prevents them from escalating into expensive repairs. Timely replacement of worn-out parts, such as brake pads and belts, can save you from the financial burden of dealing with extensive damage. Toyota's maintenance practices align with cost-effective measures, emphasizing preventive care to keep repair expenses at a minimum over the vehicle's lifetime. Higher Resale Value A well-maintained Toyota retains higher resale value in the used car market. Prospective buyers often look for vehicles with a documented service history, indicating consistent care and attention. Regular maintenance records demonstrate that the car has been properly cared for, assuring buyers of its reliability. According to industry experts, a properly maintained Toyota can fetch a premium resale value compared to a similar model with a neglected maintenance history, making it a wise investment for both short-term satisfaction and long-term financial returns.

If you're looking for a large SUV with adult-friendly seating across all three rows, then you'll like the look of the Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX. Both vehicles have a spacious interior, plenty of cargo room, and a potent powertrain. There's also a long list of entertainment features in both vehicles to keep all your passengers happy. So how can you choose between the two of them? Our SUV experts here at Longo Toyota of Prosper have taken a closer look at how these two family-sized vehicles stack up. Value for Money If affordability is your priority, there's no doubt that the Grand Highlander is the better option. While the Grand Highlander is part of the large SUV class, the Lexus TX makes it into the large luxury SUV class. Of course, this means that the Lexus TX has a more upscale cabin and additional tech features. But if your main concern is getting a quality three-row SUV with a reasonable price tag, you should be aware that the Grand Highlander's starting price of around $43,000 undercuts the Lexus TX by about $10,000. That being said, the top Platinum trim in the Grand Highlander has a comparable price tag to the base Lexus TX model. So, if you're already considering moving up the Grand Highlander's trim ladder, you may want to ask yourself whether the Lexus TX is the better choice. However, keep in mind that the top trim in the Lexus TX climbs over the $60,000 mark. Engine and Performance There's no great difference between the powertrains in these two vehicles. The Grand Highlander is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 265 horsepower and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It makes 28 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg on city roads. In the Lexus TX, you get a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that churns out 275 horsepower. This engine is also paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and manages almost the same fuel efficiency, with 27 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. Interior and Cargo The cabins in these two vehicles are approximately the same size. One advantage enjoyed by the Grand Highlander is that it can provide space for up to eight passengers, while the Lexus TX can only hold seven. The standard configuration in the Grand Highlander is for seven, including second-row captain's chairs. But this can be boosted to eight with a bench seat. The Lexus TX has a bench seat in the second row in its seven-seater setup, dropping to six if you opt for captain's chairs. Cargo space is just about identical in both vehicles. The Lexus TX boasts 20.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.4 cubic feet with the third row folded flat, and 97 cubic feet with both rear rows down. The figures for the Grand Highlander are 20.6, 57.9, and 97.5 cubic feet, respectively. Both the Grand Highlander interior and Lexus TX interior come equipped with synthetic leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seats in their base trims. You'll notice the luxury status of the Lexus TX, thanks to the slide-assist button on the shoulder of the second-row seats, which allows you to move them forward and backward for ease of access to the third row. Infotainment and Safety Tech The standard infotainment system in the Lexus TX has some additional features that set it apart from the Grand Highlander, which you'd expect when comparing a luxury vehicle with a standard one. However, you may find what the Grand Highlander has to offer to be more than adequate for you. For example, the Lexus TX boasts a 14-inch touch screen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, whereas the Grand Highlander makes do with a 12.3-inch touch screen. Both vehicles come equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and wireless device charging. The only upgrade offered in the Grand Highlander is an 11-speaker stereo to replace the standard six-speaker unit. The Lexus TX offers an optional 21-speaker stereo, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The safety features are very similar. Both vehicles have forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. For highway driving, you can benefit from lane departure warning and lane-keep assist. Other standard features include automatic high-beam headlights, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition. Trims There are three trims offered in the Grand Highlander: the XLE, Limited, and Platinum. Highlights in the base trim include heated front seats, second-row sunshades, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Stepping up to the Limited trim gets you genuine leather seats, heated second-row seats, and memory settings for the driver seat. The range-topping Platinum includes ventilated front- and second-row seats, a head-up display, and a surround-view parking camera. The first two trims come with standard front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive (AWD) is available. The top trim has standard AWD. The Lexus TX also has three trims: the 350, 350 Premium, and 350 Luxury. The base trim features keyless entry, ambient interior lighting, and automatic multizone climate control. Stepping up to the 350 Premium adds power-folding rear seats, a moonroof, and ventilated seats. The top-of-the-line 350 Luxury features genuine leather upholstery and heated second-row seats. It's worth noting that both the Grand Highlander and Lexus TX are offered in hybrid configurations if you put a priority on fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions. These hybrids do not include an all-electric driving range. Instead, they use an electric motor alongside a gas-powered engine to improve fuel economy.

Heavy-duty pickup trucks remain the vehicle of choice for the worksite. But in today's diverse market, there's room for more, and that's what smart truck shoppers can get from smaller, midsize pickups such as the award-winning Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma showcases what it means to strike the proper balance between grit off-road and comfort on it. If you're exploring the midsize pickup truck market, you may wonder how the Tacoma compares to competitors, such as the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. Our experienced professionals at Longo Toyota of Prosper, Texas, serving Prosper and surrounding areas such as McKinney, Frisco, and Celina, have put together this overview to show how the two vehicles compare in fuel efficiency, technology, safety, and other features. Trim Levels Drivers interested in the Toyota Tacoma in 2024 will choose from six trim levels: the SR, SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. Each trim runs on the Toyota i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine. Toyota offers an optional 2.4-liter hybrid powertrain for the TRD Off-Road and Limited. The seventh trim, the TRD Pro, comes standard with the hybrid engine, according to Edmunds. According to Car & Driver, like the 2023 model, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma offers an extended cab with a six-foot bed, or crew cab with either five or six-foot beds, depending on the choice of trim and configurations. All engines offer an eight-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado, by contrast, offers five trims: the WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2. The WT and LT run off a 2.7-liter four-cylinder gas engine, leveraging an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the ZR2, Z71, and Trail Boss get power from a 2.7-liter I-4 Turbo High-Output DOHC engine. Historically, the Chevrolet Colorado has only been available in a crew cab configuration with a short box. Capability and Performance The Tacoma gas engines offer a range of performance at the pump, according to EPA estimates. At the low end, the TRD Off-Road gets 18 mpg in city driving and 23 mpg on the highway. At the upper end, the SR5 checks in at 21 mpg city and 26 mpg on the highway. Toyota has not yet released fuel economy ratings for the Tacoma's hybrid engine. Most of the Tacoma trim generate 278 horsepower with 317 lb.-ft. of torque, while the hybrid jumps up to 326 horsepower and  465 lb.-ft. of torque. Chevrolet Colorado engines have two distinct fuel economy profiles. The engines in the WT and LT deliver 19 mpg in city driving and 23 mpg on the highway, for a combined rating of 21 mpg, according to Chevrolet. The Trail Boss and Z71 are rated at 17 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, for a combined rating of 19 mpg. The Colorado's base four-cylinder engine generates 237 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The TurboMax engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission in the ZR2, Z71 and Trail Boss delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Technology The high-tech nature of the Toyota Tacoma carries over to the interior, providing drivers with a connected experience. Depending on your configuration, you can monitor car status, listen to podcasts or playlists, and access other cellphone apps via either 8-inch or 14-inch multimedia touch-screen displays. Sync your cellphone to the screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. One convenient feature: Tacoma includes a Qi wireless charging pad with enhanced power output and comes with a Smart Key System with a push-button start. All configurations of the Chevrolet Colorado come standard with an 11.3-inch LCD display touch screen (measured diagonally) for syncing to driver mobile phones through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. You can customize your settings through the screen. The display offers embedded access to Google Voice Assistant. Alongside the infotainment screen, drivers can access an 11-inch driver information center that includes driver personalization, warning messages, and vehicle information with a fully reconfigurable high-definition screen. Safety Driving the 2024 Tacoma should give you extra peace of mind. The midsize pickup comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the automaker's package of safety, driver assistance, and convenience features. The package includes: Pre-collision system with pedestrian or vehicle detection, with audible warning. Lane departure alert with steering assist. Full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, designed to keep you a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you on the highway. Lane-tracing assist, used in conjunction with dynamic radar cruise control, designed to keep your vehicle centered in its lane. Road-sign assist, which uses an intelligent camera to detect speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs and certain warning signs, and display an icon of the sign on the interior display screen for action. New in Tacoma's safety package is proactive driving assist, which provides automatic braking or steering support under certain operating conditions and assistance with distance control between other cars or pedestrians.

Toyota is among the top brands when it comes to ensuring the safety of its drivers. Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), a package including a range of driver-assistance features, was first launched in 2015. Since then, it has gone through a series of important upgrades to give each new Toyota cutting-edge safety tech. Our experts at Longo Toyota have taken a closer look at the safety features you can expect to find on most Toyota models and the optional add-ons you can choose for added protection on the roads around Prosper, Texas. Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking Forward collision warning and forward automatic emergency braking are two key features of every Toyota, whether it's the small Corolla or a family-sized SUV. The collision warning alerts you to potential threats up ahead, including pedestrians and cyclists, giving you time to avoid or reduce the impact of the collision. Should you fail to respond in time, the automatic emergency braking system can kick in to bring your vehicle to a swift stop. Lane Departure Warning The lane departure warning tracks where you are on the highway and sets off an alarm if you're about to leave your lane. This feature is a standard option in many Toyotas with lane-keep assist, which can steer your vehicle back into the center of a lane. This feature won't take over if you're indicating in order to exit a lane. The main aim of these features is to stop accidents arising from drivers inadvertently sliding into another lane and colliding with traffic. Adaptive Cruise Control Adaptive cruise control is a modern safety feature designed to reduce accidents on the highway caused by drivers not leaving enough distance from the vehicle ahead of them. It can automatically adjust your speed to ensure that you maintain a safe distance. In the higher trims of some Toyotas, you may also find stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, which can operate similarly in heavy traffic. However, it's important to remember that this feature is not an automated driver, and you still need to be alert behind the wheel. Automatic High-Beam Headlights This feature adjusts your headlight levels when oncoming traffic approaches. As a result, you can be sure that you won't blind oncoming drivers when they're approaching you. In addition, the high beams will come on when you need them most, when it's dark and road visibility is poor. Some higher trims in the Toyota vehicle lineup add adaptive headlights as an extra feature. These headlights can move side to side depending on your position on the road to improve visibility and ensure maximum performance. Blind-Spot Monitoring Your blind spot is one of the most dangerous areas because vehicles can approach you without you seeing them. The blind-spot monitor handles this problem by alerting you to approaching motorists so you can take evasive action. The rear cross-traffic alert is a similar feature. It alerts you to traffic traveling across the rear of your vehicle when you're reversing out of a parking spot or any other position. Both blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are generally optional upgrades for Toyota vehicles, but you may find them as standard features in some models. Rear Seat Alert Unfortunately, it's not rare for children or pets to be left in the back seats of cars. Automakers have developed the rear seat reminder to counter this problem. It alerts you every time you get out of the vehicle to check behind you to ensure you've left nobody behind. It's especially handy in Toyota's larger vehicles with three rows of seating, such as the Highlander or Sequoia SUVs. Parking Sensors and Surround-View Parking Camera If you buy an SUV or truck, parking sensors are a big help. They alert you to approaching obstacles, including walls or other vehicles, when you're parking in a spot. Rear parking sensors are most common, but you can also get forward parking sensors for extra safety. One popular optional upgrade for large trucks and SUVs is the surround-view parking camera. It shows an aerial view of your vehicle on your display so you can monitor potential threats from all sides as you maneuver safely into your parking position. Road Sign Recognition Have you ever unintentionally missed a speed limit sign or driven past your exit? The road sign recognition feature can read signs along the highway and project them onto your instrument cluster. This feature is an optional upgrade in most Toyota vehicles, but you may get it standard with a higher trim. Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers This is another feature that's typically available as an optional upgrade. When it starts to rain, the wipers will automatically come on to help you maintain good visibility. It takes the responsibility away from the driver to turn on the windshield wipers and helps prevent risks due to poor visibility. Driver Attention Monitor Here's another feature that's typically only available with higher trims in Toyota's lineup. The attention monitor keeps track of your habits and response times to determine when it's time for you to take a break. This piece of tech is well worth having if you regularly go on long highway drives.

The small SUV market is hotly contested, but the Toyota RAV4 has been at the forefront of this class for almost three decades, and the 2024 model continues that trend. Its unique rugged styling creates a sense of adventure, and its capability and available torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive (AWD) system meet that expectation. The 2024 RAV4 is now available at Longo Toyota of Prosper in Texas, and here we look at what makes it one of the best-selling vehicles in the compact SUV class. Exterior Styling For 2024, the RAV4 carries forward unchanged. It's offered in LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road, and Limited trim levels, each with distinctive characteristics. With its aggressive front-end styling, elegant profile, and sporty rear, the RAV4 stands out from its run-of-the-mill rivals. Helping smooth your way are an integrated rear spoiler and aerodynamic underbody panels with vortex generators. The RAV4 LE features remote keyless entry, LED headlights and daytime running lights, 17-inch steel wheels, rear privacy glass, LED taillights, and dual chrome exhaust tips. With the XLE, you get alloy wheels, touch-sensor door handles, color-keyed heated power mirrors with turn signals, and roof rails. Higher-spec trims offer features such as active grille shutters, model-specific 18- or 19-inch wheels, a power moonroof, and a power liftgate. The Limited trim has chrome accents, signature lighting, mirror-mounted puddle lamps, and the option of a hands-free liftgate. The TRD Off-Road gives you unique rugged features such as black trim, a skid plate, larger overfenders, all-terrain tires, and red-painted shocks. Power and Performance Under the hood of every RAV4 trim is a 203-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 184 lb-ft of torque. It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The RAV4's small size makes it easy to navigate around town, while its smooth power delivery and comfortable ride give you a refined highway driving experience. Most trims have standard front-wheel drive with AWD as an option. With up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance, the RAV4 gives you more off-road capability than many other small SUVs. The Adventure and TRD Off-Road models feature an upgraded AWD system with selectable terrain driving modes. They also have dynamic torque vectoring for enhanced traction and rear axle disconnect that helps boost fuel efficiency under normal driving conditions. With front-wheel drive, the RAV4 mpg is up to 27 for city driving and 35 on the highway. For AWD models, the figures are 25 and 32 mpg, respectively. Standard RAV4 trims can tow up to 1,500 pounds, while the torque-vectoring AWD models give you a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. Spacious and Stylish Cabin The RAV4's roomy and upscale interior surrounds you with high-quality materials. The sculpted seats offer comfort and support that make even the longest road trips a pleasure for front and rear passengers. Behind the second-row seats, you have 37.6 cubic feet of space for your gear. Folding down the 60/40-split rear seats gives you a generous 69.8 cubic foot cargo area. The low, height-adjustable cargo floor makes for easy loading and unloading. Plenty of trays, pockets, and bottle holders throughout the cabin provide storage for everybody's personal items. In the base LE model, you'll find fabric seating with a six-way adjustable driver's seat and a four-way passenger seat to help you find the perfect position. Interior features include a digital speedometer, a 7-inch multi-information display, climate control, a tilt and telescopic steering column, an electric parking brake, a soft-touch dash, and LED front reading lights. Moving up the trim levels gets you features such as Smart Key entry, push-button start, simulated leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Adventure and TRD Off-Road trims offer model-specific interior upholstery and accents and a 120-volt power outlet in the cargo area for powering up your electrical items. The luxurious Limited model features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Technology Keeping you connected and entertained on the road is the standard Toyota Audio Multimedia system. It features an 8-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth for hands-free calling and media streaming, voice command, and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio.
