Drive a Tundra? Like Bass Fishing? Good News!

Toyota announced a “Toyota Trucks Bonus Bucks” program for this season’s upcoming Bassmaster-affiliated fishing tournaments. In essence, if you use your Tundra or Sequoia to tow your boat to a Bassmaster affiliated fishing tournament, you have the opportunity to win some contingency money.

We’re not exactly sure what this contingency money really represents, but it sounds pretty cool. Toyota is putting some extra money up for competitive anglers - as much as $7,500 for the highest placing eligible entrant (note: Toyota/Sequoia owners are not required to win anything, just place). Most local competitions will offer something to the highest placing owner of a Tundra or Sequoia tow vehicle.

There’s no entry fee either - the definition of “free money”. All you have to do is register.

Learn more about this program on BassZone.com.

Need a NEW TUNDRA??

H2 stuck? Just call a Toyota FJ 70!

Q: What is a FJ 70??

A: The Toyota FJ70 is the model designation for a Toyota Land Cruiser made from 1984 until present day. In 1984/1985, Toyota introduced an entirely new design to replace the aging and now 25 year old 40 series Land Cruiser. What Toyota came up with was a most appropriate replacement. Although completely new in styling, every off road positive aspect of the original 40 series was retained. The all new 70 series was introduced.

The 70 through 73 series is the short and medium wheelbase version of the long running Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series. Essentially, the direct replacement of the famous 40 series and what most Americans know of as the FJ40. These models were built in more variations than the longer wheelbase Land Cruisers. Some are still in production today for a select few markets.

Toyota Tundra vs GMC Sierra Chevy Silverado

This is NOT our Opinion......this was taken from AutoSpies.com! Maybe that's why it's Motor Trend's Truck of the Year????

"The Tundra easily beat out the 6.0L Sierra-Silverado in terms of engine, transmission, brakes, safety, and pricing, narrowly beat the Sierra-Silverado in interior and exterior features, and tied or narrowly lost on the rest. The Tundra is the winner. The Tundra represents a better compromise of everything we measured in our comparison. Assuming you could only have one truck, and assuming you had a need for one with power, the Tundra is the way to go. GM needs to offer more than a 4speed automatic, upgrade their safety systems, and reduce their costs in order to pull ahead of the Toyota product." -AutoSpies.com

Tundra and Highlander TOP Safety Picks!

We thought you’d be interested to know that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named the 2008 Tundra and 2008 Highlander as Top Safety Picks.

We’re always pleased when our vehicles are singled out for awards such as this. In fact Tundra has received a number of kudos for its high levels of safety features. Tundra made the IIHS list in the first year the IIHS tested fullsize pickups for the honor. Indeed, Tundra was the only fullsize pickup named a Top Safety Pick.

The Highlander, meanwhile, was one of five midsize SUVs listed as Top Safety Picks.

The Tundra and Highlander were two of just 34 vehicles to win this rating for 2008.

How'd they do that???

Here's a little "behind the scenes!" -Chris

2009 Toyota Venza

If you’ve been following the automotive business at all, you know that one of the most active vehicle categories is the crossover segment. Fine. But what exactly is a crossover? The term was coined for sport-utility vehicles that instead of being based on truck designs, as was traditional, are based on car designs. Toyota and Lexus invented the genre with the original Rav4 and Lexus RX300. But now there’s an exciting new player in the crossover segment, and this new player is generating lively and welcomed debate. We’re talking about the Toyota Venza, a crossover sedan that was we introduced to the public at the North American International Automobile Show in Detroit last month.

Keep checking back with us, and we'll keep you posted when the VENZA arrives at our Dealership!
