Explaining the differences in Toyota’s all-wheel drive systems

Alex Leanse, Mar 16, 2020, MOTORTREND

Distributing power between all four wheels makes it easier to keep driving through tough conditions, or simply have more confidence for whatever might come up the road. However, some all-wheel drive systems increase fuel consumption due to added mechanical exertion, even if added traction isn't needed in a particular moment. Toyota Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel Drive aims to solve that.

It's something far more conventional.

For years, the Toyota Camry was plain vanilla, at best. It did its job as a mid-size family sedan superbly and Americans responded in droves. The Camry has been one of America's best-selling vehicles for years and the latest generation model aims to continue that tradition. But the 2020 Toyota Camry is no longer vanilla, but rather, in TRD trim, a hot chocolate sundae with a cherry on top. It has attitude and sales appeal. A lot of it. Cars Direct has learned that demand for the…

Toyota packs each model with tougher looks and a cooler in the tail.

CHICAGO—Toyota added another special edition trim to its truck and SUV lines when it introduced the 2021 4Runner, Tacoma, and Trail editions at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show. As its name implies, the Trail trim emphasizes the vehicles' outdoor-oriented mission. Using the mid-grade SR5 trim as a base, the Trail includes items such as black exterior badges, all-weather floor mats, and black seats with tan stitching.

Less than a year after beginning production on the revived Supra, Toyota may already be working on a high-performance GRMN version if a new report out of Japan is to be believed. According to Best Car Web, a 'roided-up Supra will drop sometime in the next two years rocking a turbocharged, 3.0-liter straight-six producing close to 400 horsepower.
For reference sake, the Supra we have now officially puts out 335 horses, a figure widely understood to be conservative because when Car and Driver strapped it to a dyno last May,

Last Friday, Toyota made a big announcement regarding the production of several of its most popular models. First up is the Toyota Tacoma, which will cease production at the automaker's San Antonio, Texas production plant by late 2021. Instead, the majority of future Tacoma production will take place in Mexico. Why the change? Because Toyota Sequoia production is shifting from the company's plant in Princeton, Indiana to Texas, which has built the Tacoma and Tundra pickup trucks since 2010.

It sold well in December, besting its smaller coupe brother.

Toyota Motor North America has released its December 2019 and year-end sales report. The Japanese brand was able to sell a total of 2,383,349 vehicles. Despite the number, the marque suffered a 1.8 percent decrease in sales versus 2018's numbers, both in volume and daily selling rate basis.

Part of this sales number was the brand's halo car, the Supra. Toyota sold a total of 2,884 units of the two-seat sports coupe in 2019. The 86, the other…

The Toyota Avalon has always been something of a stealthy, value-priced luxo-barge. But it's never been a vehicle with the means to confidently take on wet or slick conditions—until now. That's thanks to the new availability of all-wheel drive on this previously front-drive-only flagship sedan.

How much are you willing to spend on a Toyota Supra? If you ask the person who bought the auctioned first production Supra at Barrett-Jackson, that would be $2.1 million, but that's for a charitable cause, mind you.

However, a quarter of that mentioned amount will get you this – a 1998 Toyota Supra A80 in mint condition and now being sold at Carsforsale.com for a whopping $500,000. Actually, 500 grand would give you a dollar change. This puts…
