Learn about what you’ll get from this vehicle from Brent Brown Toyota today. First Generation The Toyota RAV4 was introduced in 1995 as the first compact crossover SUV. Auto buyers loved the utility of their SUVs, but wanted the easy performance of a compact car. The RAV4 was designed with the best features of an SUV, like full-time four-wheel drive, more cargo room, and a higher seat to provide more visibility. It was innovative and popular enough to be named as the Automobile of the Year by Automobile Magazine! The original RAV4 used a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine which produced power of 120 hp, and offered a choice between a five-door model or a three-door model. In 1997, the RAV4 was offered as a soft-top convertible model. It’s known for its toughness and reliability, making it a great buy whether you’re in the country or Salt Lake City. Second Generation The second generation of the RAV4 came out in 2000 as a five-door option.

It also got new features like anti-lock braking, air conditioning, and power accessories, along with a sunroof and heated seats. In 2004, the RAV4’s style was upgraded for a confident and aggressive look, and added a new 2.4L 161-hp engine. It also received new variable valve timing, as well as a stronger safety cage. Third Generation In 2006, the RAV4 was redesigned with the option of a short or long wheelbase and an interior that was 21% larger than before, along with a choice between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive. In 2009, the RAV4 got a refresh with a powerful 2.5L 179-hp engine. It added features like a backup camera that had a built-in monitor, satellite navigation, and smart keyless remote entry with a push-button start.

Toyota Land Cruiser History: From Start to Finish

If you’re looking for a rugged vehicle that won’t quit in the Draper area, you might be looking for the Toyota Land Cruiser. This all-terrain vehicle has been a top choice for daring off-road adventurers on the off-roads of Provo, and it has a rich and varied history. With a giant community of vintage Toyota Land Cruiser enthusiasts, it goes without saying that the Toyota Land Cruiser history is a long and interesting tale. Read on and then fill out a pre-approval and contact Brent Brown Toyota to test drive the latest model in Orem! Toyota Land Cruiser History: Military Use The origin of the Toyota Land Cruiser has its roots in the Pacific theater in World War II. In 1941, the Japanese army took the Philippines from the Americans. One of the items they salvaged was an American Bantam Jeep, which was quickly shipped back to the authorities in Japan. The Toyota company was chosen to begin work on a vehicle with similar capabilities, but with an appearance that could not be mistaken for an American car. Later, during the war, Toyota produced a light truck called the AK10, although few of them were ever used in battle. By 1951, the American military had several bases in Japan with which to more effectively fight the Korean War. Toyota began developing a series of military trucks that the Americans could use, rather than having to have trucks shipped all the way from America. Toyota Land Cruiser History: Civilian Use By 1955, the Korean War had ended, and military vehicles were no longer in such high demand. The second generation of this vehicle was introduced as the Land Cruiser, a name chosen to compete with the popular Land Rover in England. This generation of trucks was designed to appeal more to civilians looking for a capable small truck and was largely aimed at an export market. The 1957 Land Cruiser saw the addition of a four-door station wagon, something that certainly never would have been used in wartime. The Land Cruiser was popular in Australia and the very first Japanese car available in the southern continent. Success in America The Toyota Land Cruiser steadily grew in popularity in overseas markets, including America. In 1965, the Land Cruiser became the best-selling Toyota in the United States, having passed the 50,000 vehicle mark. Production took off, with the 100,000th Land Cruiser produced in 1968 and the 300,000th by 1973. The Toyota Land Cruiser Association was founded in California in 1976. The Land Cruiser was also sold to the Irish Army, although it was not a success as the wet weather caused the Cruiser to rust. Today’s Land Cruiser Now that Lehi drivers are caught up on Land Cruiser history, they’ll be happy to know that the 2021 model is making history. While the current model pays tribute to vintage Toyota Land Cruisers, it implements some sweeping changes. Check out some standard and available highlights from the latest model to see what the Land Cruiser’s legacy means today. Headlight-integrated LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Four-zone automatic front and rear climate control Enhanced Multi-Terrain Monitor Birdseye View Camera Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation Rear-seat DVD entertainment system Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) Smart Key System on all doors and liftgate with the remote keyless entry system, remote illuminated entry, and Push Button Start 5.7-Liter DOHC 32-Valve V8 with Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i); 381 hp @ 5600 rpm; 401 lb.-ft. @ 3600 RPM Test Drive a Toyota Land Cruiser in Orem Are you looking for a vintage Toyota Land Cruiser or a new Land Cruiser around Draper?

Toyota Safety Features

Toyota has long been known in the South Jordan area for being one of the safest car brands around. Toyota’s safety features are unparalleled, with cutting-edge technology that will keep you safe in Draper. Get your new Toyota today from Brent Brown Toyota. Pre-Collision Vehicle Detection Pre-collision vehicle detection uses a specialized camera and laser to scan the area in front of your vehicle, detecting the size, speed, and direction of cars and other obstacles in your path. When the pre-collision system detects that you’re likely to collide with the vehicle ahead of you, it will use an audio and visual alert to prompt you to hit the brakes. The Brake Assist system applies the brakes automatically when needed, either adding brake force to your stop, or hitting the brakes if you’re not able to do it. Pre-collision vehicle detection will greatly reduce the number of car crashes in the United States. Pedestrian Detection The pre-collision system’s camera can detect some pedestrians crossing in front of your car under the right conditions. When it detects a pedestrian, it will engage the brakes or send braking force to your system using Brake Assist. Full Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control When you engage cruise control, the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system springs into action. It detects the speed and proximity of the vehicle traveling ahead of you, and matches your driving speed to maintain a preset distance between you and the car. Lane Departure Alert The lane departure alert system uses a specialized camera to scan the lane lines on the road, keeping track of white and yellow lines. When the system detects that you’re drifting out of your lane or onto the side of the road, it will sound an alert and give you a visual alert so you can steer your vehicle back into the correct lane. The lane departure alert system is made to work best when you’re going 32 mph or over, and on roads or streets that are relatively straight. Automatic High Beams When you enable the automatic high beams, your vehicle uses an in-vehicle camera to scan ahead of you, detecting headlights of approaching vehicles and the taillights of the vehicles you’re driving behind. This system switches automatically between low and high beams when needed. This helps you make the road a safer place by avoiding sending your high beam glare into other drivers’ eyes, while still providing the visibility that you need. Using the high beams when needed also lets you detect obstacles or pedestrians in your path before there’s a collision. Get Your Toyota Today Only your Toyota car, truck, or SUV can bring you the Toyota Safety Sense suite. With these advanced new driver awareness features in addition to Toyota’s already stellar suite of safety features, you’ll be sound and secure driving around South Jordan in your car all day long!
