New car
Toyota has introduced a completely updated 4Runner that builds on its heritage as a versatile sport utility vehicle with the heart and soul of a truck.
The remodeled 4Runner gives improved mileage, more power and a host of new conveniences perfect for adventurous travelers. The 2010 version is longer and wider with more interior space for luggage or equipment.
Car whisperer
Sooner or later most vehicles are required to pass a SMOG certification. How can you make sure your vehicle aces the exam?
"The easiest way to pass a SMOG test is to have your Toyota serviced regularly," said Tony Molla, vice president of communications at the National Institute For Automotive Service Excellence. "This will identify problems that affect the way your Toyota performs before you spend time in the SMOG test lane."
Accessories
You're packing for your next winter adventure to the mountains but have run out of space for your buddies and all their gear. What now?
"Just about any vehicle can be outfitted with a travel gear accessory—even a convertible," said John Bauer, founder of Rack N Road stores. "It turns your Toyota into a multi-sport carrying device."
Car care
You're driving through a rainstorm and every time the wipers make a pass they smear water across the windshield. The more it rains, the harder it is to see clearly.
Worse, a thin file of fog coats all the side and back windows. Using your Toyota's defroster doesn't help much-there's simply too much moisture in the air.
