Must-Have Truck Accessories: A Guide

Choosing to drive a pickup truck means you have a capable, get-it-done kind of attitude. While this may be true, we might need some help to get those tasks done. That’s why there are a variety of truck accessories to help you succeed in your everyday tasks and life; this week, we have compiled a list of a few of our favorite accessories and must-haves. Take a look below and stop in to see our team to order your accessories today! 5 Must-Have Truck Accessories: Tailgate Assist - We know there has been a time or two that you opened up your tailgate and SLAM! It makes a loud bang as soon as you open it. Avoid that from happening with a tailgate assist. All-Weather Floor Mats - Everyone should have these. Don’t stress spills, mud, water - anything that you track into your pickup is no longer a worry thanks to all-weather floor mats. With raised edges, the mess will be contained and they are super easy to clean as well. Battery Powered Bed Lighting - The bed of your pickup can get a bit dark and hard to see where your gear is. Put that problem to bed with a battery powered bed light. We recommend purchasing one that is removable so it can work as a dual purpose. Bed Liner - Whatever type of bed liner you want is up to you but you most definitely need to have one. Avoid scratches and carrying things like dirt, gravel, and mulch is much easier with a bedrug full bed liner. Either way, it’s a great idea to have a bed liner. Running Boards - Don’t be that person that has to get a running start to hop into their cabin. Invest in a nice pair of running boards and allow yourself the convenience of stepping up into your pickups cabin with ease. Plus, your passengers will thank you as well.

Got Tire Pressure? Here’s Why You Should Be Checking!

The weather has been a little crazy here in PA and that means your vehicle is enduring a lot of stress thanks to the ever-changing conditions and dropping temperatures. One thing we know a lot of people overlook is your Tire’s PSI. And no, not just one tire, all four need to be checked especially in the winter months. Below, we have listed out a few of the top reasons why you should be checking up on your tires. So check it out below and be sure to stop in to fill up your tires or perhaps swap out the old for a brand new pair of tires! Why You Should Be Checking Your PSI: Proper PSI will help optimize performance and your vehicle's fuel efficiency. This is especially useful if you tend to run your A/C or heat for long periods of time and increasing gas prices). Avoid sidewall flexing and tire squirm when properly inflated. Avoid potential dangers like collisions, blowouts, heat build-up, and potential rolling hazards. Correct PSI improves durability and performance designed to match the specific needs of your vehicle. PSI stabilizes the tire’s structure, blends responsiveness, traction, and handling. Extreme temperatures and driving conditions will affect your tire’s PSI. Underinflated tires can wear prematurely due to being soft and unable to maintain their proper shape. Overinflated tires can wear unevenly due to being rigid and hard. It can also lead to a tire blowout. If your vehicle has been sitting for a long period of time, chances are the PSI is incorrect and you will need to fill up the tires. Vehicles that sit without being used have a tendency to have under-inflated tires. Your tires will last longer and the tread won’t wear out as easily if your tires are always properly inflated to the correct PSI. Let Our Team Take Care Of Your Tires!

Accessories Every Toyota Should Have

When you first buy a new Toyota, what is the first thing you think about? If you’re asking me, the answer would be what kind of accessories I plan on buying to customize my new ride and maximize ultimate comfort. This week, I will be your accessories guru and I am bringing you some of the most popular accessories that we know Toyota drivers love! Depending on which vehicle you drive you accessories may vary - for example, we’re not putting running boards on a Camry. You get the picture, certain vehicle’s, shapes, and sizes warrant certain accessories. So, let’s get into it! Roof Rack Cross Bars Why you want ‘em - having a roof rack will increase your ability to bring more cargo along for those summer road trips or even free up a little room inside the cabin. We’ve all been on a road trip with our knees in our chest because Mom packed everything including the kitchen sink. Trust us, get these and make your life a little less packed. Rear Bumper Protector Why you want it - we’ve all been at the store and perhaps purchased an item that is big and bulky, something we may struggle with getting into the back of our car. Well, worry no more. The rear bumper protector works as protection when sliding items across your bumper into your trunk. Of course, we don’t recommend that but in the off chance it happens - this accessory has your back. Mudguards Why you want ‘em - mudguards can be very useful on all types of vehicles, especially in muddy times where your tires can spit mud and rocks onto your vehicle. With this accessory, your vehicle will be protected from dings and scratches that may occur on- or off-road. Tow Hitch Receiver Why you need one - if your vehicle is able to tow, you’ll want a tow hitch receiver. Don’t limit yourself for the kind of fun you can have - watercraft, trailers, and more. Your Toyota is begging for an adventure and with a tow hitch receiver, all the fun can be in tow! Running Boards Why you should have ‘em - okay, if you’re like me, you’re short.

Toyota Technology In-Depth

It’s 2018 and we live in a very digitally advanced world. We are surrounded by technology everywhere we look and even our vehicles have impressive technology features that we never thought possible. But what is the point if you don’t know how to work that technology. Or if you’re not even sure what it can do. Well, that’s what I’m here for - you can think of me as your technology guru for all things Toyota. This week we take an in-depth look at the infotainment system that you Toyota is equipped with. Let’s get into it! While most models infotainment systems vary by model, most of the Toyota models offer a 6.1- or 7-inch touchscreen. Along with features like Bluetooth, AM/FM radio, USB ports, and auxiliary inputs. But if you’re looking to upgrade consider adding features like satellite radio and the capability to use Scout GPS navigation via your compatible smartphone. Like we said before, most models offer both screen sizes like the Yaris, Corolla, Tacoma, Tundra, Highlander, and Prius. Meanwhile, the C-HR only offers the 7-inch touchscreen and the 4Runner, Prius C, and Sequoia offers the 6.1-inch screen. But if you’re looking for a little bit of a bigger screen, the Land Cruiser offers a 9-inch display. Many of the newer Toyota models feature the impressive Entune 3.0 system. This updated infotainment system features AM/FM radio, Bluetooth, auxiliary and USB inputs. Plus, with the Entune app, your smartphone can access apps such as Pandora, Slacker, NPR One, and Scout navigation. And, you’ll find a built-in navigation option on select Toyota models. This system is different from the display that we previously talked about. If you’re looking to purchase a vehicle with Entune 3.0 infotainment system look for these models: Avalon, Sienna, RAV4, and the Camry. Apple CarPlay is a new feature to the Toyota brand and currently is only available in the new Corolla Hatchback. But more is coming! Toyota is working hard to get more technology features standard in their newer models. So, keep an eye out - more impressive technology is coming! Get These Features In A New Toyota
