Toyota dominates its competitors with vehicles that are practical, capable, and efficient. Toyota SUVs, trucks, and cars are also renowned for their dependability and strong resale value. At Bayside Toyota, we offer a broad assortment of new Toyota vehicles with all the latest tech and performance features. We invite you to explore our new inventory and compare your favorite Toyota models to their rivals. To assist with your research, we offer the following information about three of our most popular vehicles - the new Toyota RAV4, Tacoma, and Tundra.

Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is one of the top-selling vehicles in America because of its excellent gas mileage and roomy cabin. Freshly redesigned with all-hybrid powertrains, the latest RAV4 is even more efficient, while remaining spacious and comfortable.

RAV4 vs. the Competition

The new Toyota RAV4 outshines its competitors in several areas. It earns an estimated 48 mpg in the city, which makes it more fuel-efficient than the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, or Hyundai Tucson. The RAV4's new Arene infotainment system is one of the best setups on the market. It can respond to voice or touch, and performs actions more quickly than those offered by the competition. Top-tier RAV four trims have a 12.9-inch touchscreen that's larger than that offered by the CR-V, Rogue, or Tucson.

  • RAV4 Style & Comfort: Although Toyota updated the RAV4 in various areas, its exterior design wasn't dramatically changed. It retains its length but now features a sweeping front fascia and a wider-looking rear. Three design themes - Core, Rugged, and Sport - let you personalize the RAV4 to match your style. Inside, it offers a spacious, ergonomic cabin with a standard 12.3-inch digital cluster and available 12.9-inch infotainment display. Cargo space measures 37.8 cu ft behind the second row and 70.4 cu ft with the rear seats folded.
  • RAV4 Innovation: The advanced infotainment system provides fast responses and effective natural voice recognition. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and a head-up display is available. Safety is enhanced with Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
  • RAV4 Engine and Performance: Now offered exclusively with a hybrid powertrain, the Toyota RAV4 gains power compared to previous models. It delivers 226 horsepower in FWD models and 236 horsepower in AWD versions. Fuel efficiency improves as well, with an estimated 48 mpg city and 42 mpg highway. SE trims and above can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Toyota Tacoma

The new Toyota Tacoma is a versatile midsize truck that's capable and maneuverable. Base trims are largely work trucks, but higher models have greater off-road chops or more luxury. Recent updates have made the Tacoma more comfortable to ride in and more technologically advanced.

Tacoma vs. the Competition

The Toyota Tacoma is built to be tough and reliable, which is one reason it offers best-in-class resale value according to Kelley Blue Book. It's also the only pickup still offered with a manual transmission, making the Tacoma more enjoyable than its rivals for driving enthusiasts. Eight available trims - including four off-road-oriented models - allow you to choose the Tacoma that best fits your lifestyle.

  • Engine Options: The Toyota Tacoma comes standard with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine making 228 horsepower. Higher trims have a stronger version of that same engine that produces up to 278 horsepower.
  • Towing & Hauling: When properly equipped, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,500 pounds. It can also haul up to 1,705 pounds of payload with the right configuration.
  • Off-Roading Capabilities: Toyota Tacoma TRD PreRunner, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter trims are all built for off-road performance. Features like four-wheel drive, locking rear differentials, specialized suspensions, and all-terrain tires enable them to tackle tough landscapes or trails.

Toyota Tundra

If you'd prefer a full-size truck, the Toyota Tundra is a terrific choice. This light-duty pickup has potent powertrains and intuitive infotainment technology. It also comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features for more peace of mind.

Tundra vs. the Competition

The Toyota Tundra's twin-turbocharged base V6 engine produces 358 horsepower, giving it more standard power than the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, or Ram 1500. The Tundra also has a stellar 83 out of 100 predicted reliability rating and proven long-term durability.

  • Engine Options: The Toyota Tundra's three available V6 engines offer ample power for passing, towing, or hauling. Its most powerful engine is a hybrid system pairing the V6 with an electric motor to produce 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque.
  • Towing & Hauling: When properly equipped, the Toyota Tundra can tow up to 12,000 pounds and carry a payload of up to 1,940 pounds.
  • Off-Roading Capabilities: The Toyota Tundra TRD Pro trim offers exceptional off-road performance, featuring standard four-wheel drive, Fox suspension dampers, a locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select modes, and Crawl Control for enhanced capability on difficult terrain.
