The TRD-Sport trailer uses a Tacoma pickup bed as a space for adventurers to literally bed down.

Forget racks on racks because Toyota's TRD-Sport trailer is a bed on, in, and with a bed. Created for this year's SEMA360 show (the online replacement for this year's canceled in-person SEMA event), the TRD-Sport trailer concept uses the bed of a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck as the canvas for an adventure-ready camping rig.

Apple or Android? Tesla or Toyota? New battery technology coming from an automotive world leader is sure to bring a massive change to the EV revolution.

It's all that's great about the standard Sorento with the added benefit of hybrid power.

Kia's trusty Sorento SUV has been around since 2002, but hot diggity, it's a real peach now. The 2021 Sorento offers sleek styling and tons of innovative tech, plus there's a new hybrid powertrain, too.

 

Adding a healthy dose of retro style to Toyota’s rakish coupe, this new Sport Top concept takes the Supra’s heritage seriously.

So why now, in the middle of December? Well, with all the wrinkles brought forth by the 2020 calendar year, Toyota opted to unleash its SEMA builds in two waves. The automaker unveiled four builds at SEMA360 in early November (including a kitted-out Tacoma and pair of drift-ready Supras), saving the final reveal of the GR Supra Sport Top Edition for today’s announcement.

Besides, it’s never too late to add an item to your holiday…

Get ready for double the range and a fraction of the charging time. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about, recharging a car with a solid-state battery will take as little as 10 minutes, while the range will be over double what it is with current EVs using lithium-ion batteries. For reference, the impressive Lucid Air has a range of up to 517 miles and can add 300 miles of range in around 20 minutes, so you can only imagine what a big leap forward solid-state batteries will be.
 

The 381-hp V-8 under the hood has all the power you’ll ask for. For this coming year, buyers receive a new appearance package dubbed “Nightshade” (Available only on the Limited) including black 20-inch rims, black exterior accents and black leather upholstery.

 

More people than ever are removing animal products from their diet and becoming vegan, but it's not always easy to find restaurants that offer vegan options on car navigation systems. In response to the rise in popularity of veganism, Toyota has partnered with HappyCow, an online platform that helps people find vegan and vegetarian restaurants in the US.

The camouflage hides a lot, but there are a few details to pick out.
