Did you know Toyota has been teaming up with Yellowstone National Park for several years now? Each time, the environmentally-conscious automaker has assisted the park in making its campuses, ranger stations, or visitor centers better reflect a culture of conservation.

Ever try to install a child safety seat?

Until you've done it a few hundred times, it always seems to take longer than the actual drive that you're attempting to make. The new Toyota Prius is looking to change that.

 
The adventurous Toyota RAV4 always has a few trucks up its sleeve

Those in Corsicana, TX who already drive a new Toyota RAV4 know that this practical crossover is more than meets the eye. With available All-Wheel Drive, tons of surprisingly premium features, and legendary Toyota reliability, this SUV can take you places you'd never even dream.

You may not think that a simple, modest RAV4 could hold its own against the best all-terrain, high-performance vehicles on the trails, but the bold Ryan Millen--a legendary rally driver-- proves that wrong.

Would you savor the chance to drive a premium quality new car, while saving cash and staying on budget?

Then the bold new 2017 Toyota Camry might just be the "bang-for-your-buck" sedan that you're looking for in Corsicana.

Freshly re-designed for the new generation, the stunning 2017 Camry remains as practical as ever--but now boasts modern good looks, sporty performance and an upscale, feature-packed interior.

Even at its modest pricing, this new four-door mid-size car brings fun new technology, premium-feel cabin and interior materials, and a long list of standard features.

The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is arriving next season -- and we simply cannot wait. What can you look forward to? A projected driving range of  600+ miles, a gorgeous new infotainment system, LED lighting, industry-leading efficiency, and a four-seat layout.

Wait... four seats? What about that middle seat? Worried that you'll need to kick someone out of the carpool?

Fear not. According to sources, it looks like Toyota is planning to build out for fifth-passenger seating in the second-generation of the Prius Prime.

If you haven't already caught wind of the news, Toyota will absorb the youth-focused Scion brand after thirteen years. Beginning next month, most Scion models will be rebranded as Toyota. If you currently have a warranty, finance or lease agreement, Toyota will absorb those too.

If you have a large family in tow, or maybe your kids are getting to the age where they refuse to go on family outings without a friend or two tagging along, then chances are you need a car that's really capable of keeping up with your family's growing needs.

When you need more than just a spacious interior--you need capability, comfort, and rugged durability, too--there's only one vehicle that does it all in Corsicana: the 2016 Toyota Sequoia.

One Lap of America has been held since 1984. It's a grueling seven-day race that takes entrants across a dozen states and almost 3,000 miles, with little sleep in between, and only one set of tires.

On Team Toyota Sienna, an exhausted Rutledge Wood declares, "What happens after One Lap of America? One nap of America."

Yet the sleepless hours on the road are worth it to show off what a modern minivan can do. The Sienna R-Tuned is a modified stock Toyota Sienna, using the original 3.5-liter V6 engine and platform, but significantly stripped and tuned…

Nowadays, a lot of folks don't like to think about auto maintenance. Content to only get their oil changed every couple thousand miles, the common misconception is that manufacturer scheduled maintenance is a scam. Well folks, its time to put those misconceptions to rest. This week, Toyota announced that it had just received a trade-in of a 2007 Toyota Tundra with just over one million miles on its odometer.
