Even the most careful of drivers can benefit from an extra set of eyes on the road, so you'll find a wide array of standard and available advanced safety and driver assistance features on the latest Toyota vehicles. These Toyota safety features include parking assistance, collision prevention, and 24/7 emergency response, giving you added confidence every time you get inside your new vehicle. Toyota Safety Sense With up to seven standard driver assistance features, Toyota Safety Sense sets the standard for smart safety features on new vehicles. Its Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection can sense vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists on the road ahead of you and warn you when there's a collision risk. This system can also brake automatically if you don't respond quickly enough. To prevent unintentional lane departures, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist alerts you if it detects that your Toyota is drifting out of its lane and can even adjust steering if needed. Automatic High Beams make nighttime driving safer by automatically switching to low beams when your high beams could cause glare for another driver. And Road Sign Assist detects warning signs, speed limit signs, and more, then displays sign information on your Multi-Information Display. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Highway driving is safer and more convenient with Toyota Safety Sense's Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), which detects the vehicle ahead of you and adjusts your speed to maintain a preset following distance. Lane Tracing Assist works when DRCC is enabled and provides steering assistance to keep your Toyota in the middle of its lane. With these systems, the driver always remains in control, and an Emergency Driving Stop System can stop the vehicle if the driver isn't attentive. More Toyota Safety Features Many new Toyota vehicles have standard or available parking assistance features, like a Panoramic View Monitor, which uses several cameras to create a virtual panoramic view of your vehicle's surroundings. This monitor makes it easy to navigate tight spaces and parking spots. Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking can also detect objects in front or behind your Toyota and alert you or automatically apply the brakes. With up to a 10-year trial subscription included with a new Toyota purchase, Safety Connect is a service that connects you to help with the push of a button. The in-vehicle Emergency Button offers 24/7 help from a response center agent who can help you request emergency services or send roadside assistance.

Designed for outstanding performance and impressive fuel economy, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is an excellent option for eco-conscious families. Its greatest highlight is the hybrid technology that sets it in a league of its own compared to the vehicle's gas-only sibling. 3 Reasons the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Excels in Hybrid Technology Two Hybrid Engine Options A rising star in the mild hybrid vehicle segment, the 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid impresses with two powertrain choices, both designed to deliver exceptional mileage. The base Hybrid XLE comes equipped with the Highlander's standard hybrid drivetrain based on a 2.5L DOHC engine. This system delivers a net power output of 245 horsepower and 177 lb-ft combined, more than enough for spirited rides across the town. The Hybrid MAX powertrain, standard on the Hybrid MAX Limited and Hybrid MAX Platinum trim levels, pairs the electric motor with a 2.4L 4-cylinder turbo engine for a net output of 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque combined. The extra power pairs with an all-wheel drivetrain, offering excellent traction and handling on slippery roads and challenging terrains. Selectable Drive Modes With the Grand Highlander Hybrid, adjusting the torque distribution and performance to match your driving style or road conditions is easier than ever. In its standard FWD variant, the base trim comes with Sport, Normal, Eco, and EV drive modes. The Sport mode prioritizes gas power, whereas the Eco mode focuses mostly on fuel economy, using electric power whenever possible. The Normal mode offers balanced fuel economy and performance. A unique feature is the EV mode which allows you to use electric power alone at low speeds and for short distances, further enhancing the fuel economy. The AWD variant adds a convenient Trail mode for effortless off-roading. The Hybrid MAX models boast Normal, Eco, Sport, and Snow modes as well as a multi-terrain selection for mud, sand, rock, and dirt, offering enhanced performance on all surfaces and in all driving conditions. Gas-Like Towing Capacity Whether you're planning the ultimate family adventure or need to move your belongings across the country, the Grand Highlander Hybrid is up for the task with its outstanding towing capacity. The standard hybrid engine can pull up to 3,500 lbs, which is enough for a fully loaded 5x8 U-Haul trailer or 17-foot camper. The Hybrid MAX engine boosts the towing capacity to a maximum of 5,000 lbs, the same as its gas-powered sibling. From a four-horse trailer to a 20-foot toy hauler or a 30-foot camper, all of your light-duty towing needs are fair game. Ready to try the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid experience on your own? Contact us at Pedersen Toyota in Fort Collins, CO to schedule your test drive and find the answers to any questions you might have.

Performing scheduled maintenance at the Toyota dealer is like giving your car a check-up. It ensures everything runs smoothly and keeps your car in great shape for the long haul. Here's a simple guide to the Toyota maintenance you need to do to keep your vehicle rolling reliably. Stick to the Toyota Maintenance Plan Your Toyota's owner's manual isn't just for troubleshooting. It's your best guide for maintenance, too! It outlines all the key service intervals tailored to your specific model, like when to change your oil, rotate your tires, and check other vital systems. Typically, you'll want to change your oil and rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. For deeper services, like checking spark plugs, belts, and fluids, a good rule of thumb is every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. And even if you don't rack up that many miles, an annual check-up is a smart move to catch anything that mileage alone won't. Visit Your Toyota Dealer for Maintenance Change That Oil Oil changes are crucial, with fresh oil keeping your engine parts gliding smoothly, reducing wear, and preventing overheating. Letting it go too long can gunk up your engine, so keep it clean, and your car will thank you. Tire TLC Rotating your tires on schedule helps them wear evenly, making them last longer and perform better. It's usually a quick job, but it makes a big difference in how your car handles and saves you money on premature replacements. Keeping your tires properly inflated will also help boost both safety and fuel efficiency. Make it a habit to check your tire pressure monthly, especially before any big road trips. Check Those Fluids Watch out for problems with other essential fluids, too, like your brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant. These play huge roles in safety and performance. Power steering and windshield washer fluids are easy to overlook, but keeping them topped up makes driving easier and safer. Running low or using dirty fluids can lead to big problems down the road. Maintain Your Brakes Regular brake inspections are non-negotiable for safety. Checking pads, discs, and fluids can tell you a lot about how your car will handle in a pinch when you need to stop quickly. Freshen Your Filters Changing out your engine and cabin air filters regularly helps keep air flowing smoothly, making the inside of your car more comfortable. A clogged filter can strain your engine or make your A/C work harder than it needs to. The point of scheduled maintenance is to prevent problems before they start. By following the recommended schedule, you can ensure your vehicle performs its best and holds its value. Visit Pederson Toyota in Fort Collins, CO, for all your maintenance needs.

Healthy tires give you greater surface traction, allowing you to corner and maneuver easily at speed. Tires wear down naturally as time passes, which causes them to become less flexible and cracks can develop. Weather conditions, undiagnosed mechanical issues, and even sunlight can also weaken your tires. As your Toyota dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs that it's time to visit us for new tires. Time for New Tires? Visit Your Toyota Dealership Today Cupped Tires Cupping is a strange tire wear pattern that appears as deep indents at regular intervals around the tire edges. The indents look almost as if the tire has been scooped out by something. This wear damage is caused by faulty wheel alignment or a suspension problem. In either case, sections of the tires hit the ground harder than they should, causing their odd appearance. We'll examine your Toyota and determine the cause of the damage, If the wheel alignment is incorrect, we'll connect your car's wheels to our alignment machine. This computer makes a series of adjustments to each wheel to restore its correct alignment. If the suspension is the problem, we'll test your shocks and struts and repair or replace them depending on the situation. Visible Tread Wear Bars Tread wear bars are raised tire sections that run horizontally through the tread, which is the raised section of a tire that's in contact with the ground. They're invisible on a healthy tire, but they will slowly appear as the tread wears down due to friction with the surface. If you notice these lines, visit our service department and our technicians will examine your tires. If the wear bars are almost level with the tread, your tread has dropped to approximately 2/32" thick, the minimum tread level safe to drive on. We can fix this problem by replacing and balancing any worn tires. Sidewall Damage The sidewall is the section of a tire perpendicular to the ground and faces outwards. The sidewalls can't suffer friction damage, so they're made of a softer rubber that provides added tire flexibility. These tire sections also lack the steel and polymer bands that reinforce the tread. Despite their safer position, a sidewall can still get damaged. The most common form of sidewall damage is a tire bulge. A tire bulge is usually formed when part of the sidewall is pinched against a hard object, like the curb. It can also be due to the breakdown of part of the tire's internal structure. A tire bulge is dangerous, as it stretches the rubber and can cause a blowout. We can't repair a bulge, but we can replace the tire. Don't risk driving on a worn or damaged tire. Visit us today at Pedersen Toyota in Fort Collins, CO.
