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. more 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.

Toyota marked four decades of the 4Runner in 2023. With its ruggedness and excellent off-road capabilities, the 4Runner remains a dependable choice for adventure enthusiasts. It's not hard to love its attractive design, four-wheel drive, and excellent off-road features. But will the new 4Runner be even bigger and better? Read as our team at Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, looks at what we can expect from the new 4Runner and when Toyota will likely release it. We'll also focus on its performance, off-road features, interior comfort, safety, and price. more What To Expect for the 2024 Toyota 4Runner Despite being the 2024 model year, Toyota plans to release the 2024 Toyota 4Runner in 2025. The good news is that you can expect a completely reimagined vehicle that still does what it does best: conquers off-road trails. Toyota hasn't confirmed the exact details of the 4Runner, but we believe the new model could share a similar design to the Toyota Tacoma. It may offer a more vertical C-pillar to make accessing the second row easier. Its standard body-on-frame could move over to the TNGA-F platform Toyota has favored recently. We expect Toyota to discontinue the 40th Anniversary trim, along with some exterior colors, such as Lunar Rock and Lime Rush. Brand-new exterior paint colors include the dark gray Underground and Terra, an earthy tone exclusively for the TRD Pro. While we're not expecting it as soon as the 2025 release, we anticipate an all-electric 4Runner to hit the market in the near future. Trim Levels The 4Runner comes in a wide array of trim levels to suit different driving preferences. We expect no changes for the new generation. Choose the aggressive TRD Pro for agile off-roading or the TRD Sport for high-performance handling on the road. Here are the trim levels you can expect from the 2024 Toyota 4Runner: SR5. TRD Sport. SR5 Premium. TRD Off-Road. TRD Off-Road Premium. Limited. TRD Pro. Power and Performance Toyota has yet to release specifics about its 2024 4Runner. But we expect Toyota could swap its current standard 4.0-liter V-6 engine for more updated options. It could include the 2.4-liter hybrid powertrain under the new Tacoma's hood that produces 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. It could also feature the 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in the Lexus NX 350 that produces 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. Other predictions include hybrid four- and six-cylinder engines. An upgrade from the current five-speed transmission system is a given. We expect Toyota to swap it out for the Tacoma's eight-speed automatic transmission. With this updated gearbox, the 4Runner could offer more aggressive ratios, including higher torque and enhanced acceleration. Another possibility is a manual option like the six-speed manual gearbox in some Tacomas. Depending on the powertrain, you could take the 2024 Toyota 4Runner from zero to 60 in 7.5 seconds. It currently achieves EPA-estimated fuel economy of 16 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway, which we believe will continue for the new model. Rugged Off-Road Capability The 2024 Toyota 4Runner does many things right when it comes to off-road capability. There may be some additions for the new model year that take its tough charm to new heights. We could see an upgraded suspension for tackling trickier terrain. A manual transmission could give the 4Runner an off-road appeal like the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. We may also see the Trailhunter grade enter the 4Runner lineup. This model is perfect for rock crawling and intense overlanding, giving adventurers more choice than the TRD Pro. The 2024 Toyota 4Runner can withstand just about any terrain. All models have an impressive towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds and a maximum 500-pound tongue weight. We don't expect this to change much. The 4Runner Limited features a full-time four-wheel-drive system that automatically adjusts the differentials for exceptional traction. The TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro have an electronic-locking rear differential and Toyota's Crawl Control for low-speed or off-road conditions. What's more, you can rev up the TRD Off-Road with Toyota's available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System for enhanced agility and control. Interior Comfort and Features The Toyota 4Runner is available in a choice of two-row and three-row configurations. Depending on your chosen configuration, you can comfortably seat five or seven passengers. Toyota may make some improvements when it comes to legroom in the second and third rows, but we don't expect a huge change to the already-decent cargo space the 4Runner offers. The current 4Runner has an 8-inch infotainment touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on all trims. As the Tacoma has already moved to an available 14-inch touch screen, we expect the 4Runner to do the same. You may be able to enjoy built-in navigation in lower trim levels and a higher-grade audio system than the current eight-speaker one. Safety Features and Ratings All 4Runners come standard with Toyota Safety Sense P, which offers a host of driver-assistance technologies, such as a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. It also includes automatic high beams, lane departure alert with a sway warning system, and high-speed dynamic radar cruise control. The 2023 Toyota 4Runner received high scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for crashworthiness. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rated it four stars for overall safety. The IIHS or NHTSA hasn't yet rated the 2024 Toyota 4Runner. Price Toyota has yet to confirm the price for the new 2024 Toyota 4Runner. With so little information available, predicting an accurate price is hard. We expect it to increase slightly for the new model year. We anticipate the 2024 Toyota 4Runner SR5 to have a starting MSRP of around $40,455. Test-Drive the 2024 Toyota 4Runner We predict the 2024 Toyota 4Runner will exceed expectations when it comes to off-road performance.

When people reflect on Toyota's reputation for dependability and longevity, the 4Runner is probably one of the vehicles they have in mind. Introduced in 1984, the 4Runner line is renowned for its rugged versatility. Being essentially a Tacoma pickup with an SUV body, it can easily handle the most challenging off-road terrain and clock hundreds of thousands of miles on the pavement over its lifetime. With the 2024 Toyota 4Runner soon to hit the market, let's examine how the latest iteration in the storied model line upholds the reputation. more Trim Levels The 2024 Toyota 4Runner will be available in seven trims. Choosing a trim takes knowing how they all measure against one another, so here are the broad characteristics that each has to offer. SR5 (Two-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive) The base trim offers the most affordable gateway into the rugged territory of the 4Runner. The standard features include 17-inch six-spoke alloy wheels, LED headlights with integrated LED fog lights, LED taillights, skid plates, front and rear mudguards, privacy glass for the rear side and liftgate windows, and a smart key with push-button start. TRD Sport (Two-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive) The TRD Sport is for those looking for street-tuned performance. It improves on the SR5 with the addition of Dark Gray Metallic machined-face 20-inch wheels, a hood scoop, TRD sport badging, black roof rails, and X-REAS suspension. SR5 Premium (Two-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive) The SR5 Premium trim is a better-outfitted version of the SR5. It improves on or adds to the base trim with SofTex synthetic leather upholstery, heated outside mirrors integrated with turn signals, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. TRD Off-Road (Four-Wheel Drive) The four-wheel-drive-only TRD Off-Road trim is designed, as you might guess, for off-road enthusiasts. Some of the standard features that'll help you traverse the unpredictable bumps of the unpaved world are 17-inch alloy wheels, a protective skid plate, a locking rear differential, 9.6 inches of ground clearance, and Crawl Control, a low-speed cruise control setting that helps the 4Runner overcome tricky terrain. TRD Off-Road Premium (Four-Wheel Drive) With the Premium, you get a few comfort and design upgrades compared to the ordinary TRD Off-Road trim, including a hood scoop, a rear spoiler, a power moonroof, turn signal indicators integrated into the side mirrors, and SofTex synthetic leather upholstery. Limited (Two-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive) The Limited trim ups the ante on luxury. Here, you have 20-inch split six-spoke alloy wheels, heated and ventilated leather seats, a power moonroof, and dual-zone automatic climate control. It also has standard driver-assist enhancements, including downhill assist, active traction control, and a Torsen limited-slip center differential. TRD Pro (Four-Wheel Drive) The TRD Pro is for the hardcore off-roader. To get through even the toughest terrain, it features 17-inch matte black flow-formed TRD alloy wheels, FOX high-performance shock absorbers, and TRD-tuned front springs. It also offers all of the features you'd get with the TRD Off-Road Premium, or else it enhances them with higher-end alternatives. Exterior and Interior Dimensions Some of the 4Runner's exterior dimensions vary depending on your choice of trim or drivetrain. Regarding length, the SR5 and SR5 Premium measure 190.2 inches, the three TRD trims are 191.3 inches, and Limited comes in at 190.7 inches. All trims stand 71.5 inches tall without roof rails, except for the 72-inch TRD Pro. The standard ground clearance is 9 inches for the two-wheel-drive varieties, but upgrading to four-wheel drive adds 0.6 inches. Inside, the 2024 Toyota 4Runner offers two-row seating as standard but with an optional third row. The two-row interior provides 97.3 cubic feet of passenger volume, which seats five people and offers a legroom split of 41.7 and 32.9 inches of legroom in the front and second rows, respectively. The default cargo volume is generous at 47.2 cubic feet behind the second row (or 46.3 cubic feet with the optional slide deck). This expands up to 89.7 cubic feet with the second row folded down. Should you opt for the three-row 4Runner, you get 128 cubic feet of passenger volume with 29.3 inches of legroom in the third row. The cargo volume behind the third row measures 9 cubic feet. Folding down the third and second rows gets you the same cargo accommodations as the two-row model. Powertrain and Performance Under the hood of every 4Runner trim is a 4.0-liter V-6 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. With this engine capable of generating 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque, the 2024 Toyota 4Runner can go from zero to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, which is quite good considering the vehicle's size. Given the rugged body and the torque generated by the engine, it should be no surprise that the 2024 Toyota 4Runner is also a capable towing machine. No matter your choice of trim, you'll find yourself capable of pulling up to 5,000 pounds — good for just about any recreational item you need to haul behind you toward the trail. If you opt for the TRD Pro or one of the Off-Road trims, you can be confident that your 4Runner will be able to handle a tremendous variety of terrain. The suspension is a champ at absorbing the erratic bumps and shocks of unpaved surfaces, and the lightly weighted steering facilitates control on trails. Driver-Assist and Safety Technology Every 2024 Toyota 4Runner is rich in technology. Here's just a sample of the driver-assist and safety features you'll get: Toyota Safety Sense P, is a suite of features that includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Daytime running lights with manual on/off functionality. An antitheft alarm system with engine immobilizer. Hill-start assist. Some driver-assist features are trim-specific. With the Limited trim, you get front and rear parking assist sonar, which alerts you to objects around your vehicle as you're parking. The SR5 and Limited trims in four-wheel drive also feature downhill-assist control, which helps maintain stability on steep inclines at low speeds. Pricing According to Toyota, the starting MSRPs for the 2024 Toyota 4Runner are: SR5: $40,455. TRD Sport: $43,315. SR5 Premium: $43,515. TRD Off-Road: $44,300. TRD Off-Road Premium: $46,880.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is back — and it's better than ever. The powerhouse SUV makes its triumphant return in 2024, ending its three-year hiatus on the market. In those three years, Toyota has revamped the Land Cruiser, equipping it with new hybrid power while ensuring it's just as off-road ready as you remember. Explore this one-stop guide to discover everything you need to know about the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, including its cost, convenience, and capabilities. more Why Did Toyota Stop Making/Discontinue the Land Cruiser? Toyota discontinued production of the Land Cruiser in 2021, stating the SUV would not return for the 2022 model year. Even at the time, there were hints that Toyota planned to bring back the beloved off-roader in the future. Sales spiked significantly after the automaker's announcement, and sources told multiple outlets that there could be a return of the Land Cruiser in a few years. Sure enough, Toyota revealed in July that it would return the Land Cruiser to its lineup in 2024, proving yet again that you can't keep a good thing down for long. "With 65 years of heritage, you can choose to slow down or reinvent yourself. We chose the latter," Toyota said in a news release at the time. Over the last few years, it's clear Toyota has carefully considered how to keep the Land Cruiser true to its off-roading roots while also making the SUV accessible to everyone, whether you prefer to hit the road or the trails. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Cost and Trims Toyota hasn't released official details about pricing for the 2024 Land Cruiser, but the automaker has said it will have a starting MSRP in the mid-$50,000 range. That's lower than the last time the SUV was on the market, which is largely due to its smaller frame. The new Land Cruiser will strictly be a two-row vehicle with seating for five passengers. While smaller, the 2024 Land Cruiser isn't any less capable on rugged terrain than previous models. With its narrower body and hybrid power, the all-new Land Cruiser is ready to kick up some dirt. With a simple grade structure, the 2024 Land Cruiser will come in two trims: the Land Cruiser 1958 and Land Cruiser. In addition, Toyota will release a limited number of Land Cruisers in a First Edition trim for the first two months of production. The Land Cruiser First Edition models will feature a striking two-tone exterior and come with additional off-road equipment such as a roof rack, a front skid plate, and rock rails. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Performance and Capability New-generation Land Cruisers will get a hybrid powertrain across the lineup for increased efficiency. A turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine pairs with two electric motors, generating a total output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Every Land Cruiser will also have an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive. The system sends power continuously to the front and rear axles for enhanced traction on challenging roads. A center-locking differential provides additional off-roading capabilities with the touch of a button. The all-new Land Cruiser effortlessly blends form and function, using a body-on-frame platform and a high-strength steel chassis. The available Multi-Terrain Select system allows you to adjust the settings depending on whether you're driving over mud, dirt, or sand. A standard Crawl Control function controls braking and acceleration when you're driving at lower speeds on difficult terrain, meaning you can focus on steering. Plus, a Multi-Terrain Monitor gives you additional confidence by showing you potential obstacles on the trail through the SUV's touch-screen display. The new Land Cruiser is built for all the roads — or non-roads — you might encounter. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Design True to its roots, the all-new Land Cruiser will make its signature statement on the Southern California roadways. The 1958 trim features a classic, simplified style, with retro LED headlights and a bold heritage front grille. It has the same squared body profile as previous Land Cruiser generations.

By upgrading to the Land Cruiser trim, you'll get synthetic leather seats, plus heated and ventilated front seats for ultimate luxury. The limited Land Cruiser First Edition models come exclusively with leather-trimmed seats and a unique "First Edition" logo on the door panels. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Technology and Driver Assistance As part of its revamp, the 2024 Land Cruiser will come with the latest state-of-the-art technology and driver-assistance features. An 8-inch touch screen comes standard in the Land Cruiser 1958, while the other two trims get a larger 12.3-inch screen. All Land Cruisers get Toyota's multimedia system, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Dual front-row USB charging ports and a wireless charging pad also come standard, so you don't have to worry about your phone dying when you're off the grid. Plus, the Land Cruiser offers available Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity for up to five devices. Whether you're running errands in El Monte, California, or heading out on a backcountry adventure, you're sure to feel safe and secure behind the wheel of a 2024 Land Cruiser.

Lane departure alert with steering assist. Dynamic radar cruise control. Lane tracing assist. Road sign assist. Automatic high-beam headlights.
