Toyota's performance division is making throwing some bigger meats on your Tacoma easier and safer than ever, with the announcement of a new, TRD-designed lift kit for the 2020-21 Tacoma. Now available nationwide through Toyota dealerships as a dealer-installed option, the kit -- which provides a 2-inch front lift and 1-inch rear lift on any 2020-21 V6 4x4 Tacoma -- was created in-house by Toyota engineers. It's the only Tacoma lift kit that's validated to be completely compatible with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), the suite of advanced safety features that comes standard on every Tacoma. 

 

While other automakers rest on their laurels, Toyota is always looking for the next great idea for the vehicles of the future, helping push the envelope ever-further on safety features, materials, manufacturing techniques, design, alternative fuels, performance and much, much more. That's not just lip-service, either. Toyota recently announced that they have been certified by the Intellectual Property Owners Association as the most innovative automaker in 2020, having received more patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office than any other vehicle manufacturer.

Toyota is not just a leader in U.S. auto sales, it's also a leader in U.S. automobile manufacturing, with American plants staffed with American workers cranking out new Toyotas all over the nation since first manufacturing Corollas here beginning in 1986. Recently, the brand's commitment to supporting the U.S. economy reached another milestone, with the announcement that the 30 millionth U.S.-assembled Toyota vehicle recently rolled off the assembly line.
 

With the global pandemic sidelining many customers' in-person shopping, online sales experiences are more important than ever. Toyota is always at the leading edge of the next wave of technology, and that includes how you'll buy your next Tacoma, Corolla or 4Runner. The brand recently unveiled the next generation of SmartPath, Toyota's online shopping platform.
 

In checking out the 2021 Toyota Tundra, you've likely noticed that Toyota offers the Tundra in six great trim levels. The most luxurious of these is the 2021 Tundra 1794 Edition.
But what's up with that number in the name: 1794? It's clearly a date, but it doesn't seem to make sense given that Toyota only dates back to 1937, and has made their successful push for widespread auto sales in America since the 1970s...

 

A recently-revealed partnership between researchers at the Toyota Research Institute and Stanford University's Dynamic Design Lab may well spawn the next generation of automotive safety devices, allowing your Toyota to anticipate trouble and take evasive action automatically to avoid a collision with the skill and precision of a pro-level racing driver.
