The leading cause of death for teens between 15 and 20 is motor vehicle accidents and according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have accounted for 35% of teen fatalities.  In an effort to make the road a safer place for all drivers Toyota is offering free advance teen driving skills program at participating Bass Pro Shops throughout the country.

The program is called “Toyota Driving Expectations” and since its start in 2004 has been able to reach over 14,000 drivers with educating them on safe driving techniques also incorporating ways to stay focused on the road.  The program is extremely hands on and gives teens a chance to practice real life situations on a closed course.  The website describes the main purposes for the course:

• Identify the dangerous driving situations that they encounter daily
• Understand vehicle dynamics and safety features
• Experience firsthand the dangers of distracted driving and understand the relationship between distraction and reaction time

The teens and parents attend separate seminars discussing various driving topics and then after getting some hands on experience with some hazardous road situations the teens rejoin their parent to have open discussion.

Stan Lippelman, spokesperson for Bass Pro Shops is enthusiastic about teaming up with Toyota, “Toyota has been a partner of ours for 6 years.  …  Similarly to Toyota, Bass Pro Shops is dedicated to teen safety –whether teens are behind the wheel of a vehicle or participating in recreational activities such as hunting or fishing, Bass Pro Shops believes education is the key to safety.”

Here are the dates of the programs for the month of October:

• Foxborough, Mass., October 2 – 3

The 2010 Toyota Prius has been so popular with Fort Worth Toyota shoppers for many reasons. The Prius is the world’s first standard-production hybrid-electric vehicle. Not only is its fuel economy favorable with the inflation of gasoline prices, but also it is still a comfortable, spacious, reliable vehicle, making it a great family car.

The 2010 Toyota Prius is available in four trims, the Prius II, III, IV and V. All of them average about 51 city/48 highway mpg. All trims also have an 18-liter, four-cylinder engine, which has actually improved highway mileage compared to earlier models. By making more torque, the engine can run at a lower average rpm on the highway.

2010 Toyota Prius Eco Driving Modes

There are three driving modes for the Prius. EV-Drive Mode allows driving on battery power alone at low speeds for about a mile, conditions permitting. Power Mode increases sensitivity to throttle input for a sportier feel, and Eco mode helps the driver achieve the best possible mileage.

The Toyota Prius also has many other energy-saving features. These include LED low beams and tail lights, an air circulator (powered by solar panels) to prevent the interior air temperature from rising while the vehicle is parked, reducing the need for air conditioning in the first place.  In fact, the 2010 Prius has made an industry first by making the air conditioning system capable of running with the engine off for added interior comfort.

Other improvements the 2010 Prius has are reduced road noise, improved acceleration (zero to 60mph in 9.8 seconds), disc brakes on all four wheels, and a larger interior space. Other features and options include a backup monitor to aid with the view of rear obstacles when the vehicle is in reverse, a voice-activated navigation system, and Safety Connect, Toyota’s first safety and security device. Standard on all trims are color-keyed foldable outside mirrors, heated outside mirrors, rear window electric defogger with timer, UV reduction glass windshield, aerodynamic rear deck spoiler, and roof-mounted XM satellite radio antenna.

Fort Worth Toyota shoppers looking to purchase the 2010 Toyota Prius as a family car can also rest assured that it is a safe vehicle. The 2010 Toyota Prius has traction control, a 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS), enhanced vehicle stability control, side-impact door beams, front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones, driver and front passenger advanced airbags with an occupant classification sensor, along with many more safety features.

Jerry Durant Toyota in Granbury invites Texas Toyota shoppers to view their expanded selection of the ever-popular 2010 Toyota Prius models. 

A favorable mix of fuel economy, style, safety and performance, the compact Toyota Corolla also offers its accolade as an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick. The “Top Safety Pick” is the highest safety designation awarded by the IIHS. To even qualify for this award, the vehicle needs to earn the highest rating of “good” in the IIHS’ front, side, rollover and rear impact tests and be equipped with electronic stability control. The Corolla has won its second consecutive “Top Safety Pick” in 2010.

Fort Worth Toyota Corolla Cars

Vehicle Stability Control and traction control are standard on every 2010 Toyota Corolla. This antiskid system is designed to prevent sideways slides and aids grip away from stops. Other safety features include anti-lock brakes, tire-pressure monitors, active headrests and front, side and curtain airbags all standard.

The Corolla is known for its great fuel economy. All trims of the Corolla except for the XRS model have an updated version of Toyota’s venerable 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, renowned for its efficiency. Fuel economy for the Corolla is about 26mpg city/34mpg highway. The XRS model is estimated at 22mpg city/29mpg highway with a five-speed automatic transmission.

Photos of the 2010 Toyota Corolla are available online.

Fort Worth Toyota shoppers can also enjoy the comfort of the interior of the 2010 Corolla. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes, combining with the height-adjustable driver’s seat. There is also plenty of leg room for front-seat and rear-passengers. Optional interior features include a navigation system and XM Satellite radio.

The dealership has been tracking the study of the Toyota vehicles involved in the crashes and recalls last year.  A report was released by Toyota on research done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  The report shows that driver error may be at fault for the Toyota crashes.

These reports are the first to become public after Congress asked the NHTSA to release their research.  The study is in its fifth month after over 8.5 million Toyota vehicles were recalled.

The brakes of more than half of the vehicles examined were either not applied at the time of the crash or were applied just before impact.  In an examination of 58 Toyota vehicles that were involved in sudden acceleration reports, data found on the vehicle’s “black box” shows that the brakes were not applied at the time of the crash.  Nine other vehicles show that the brakes were applied in the last possible seconds before impact.

Texas Toyota dealer Jerry Durant Toyota works with Texas customers to make sure that they are safe on the road.

Since the beginning of the Toyota recall last year, the service center at the Weatherford Toyota dealer has provided customers with the additional service and help that was necessary to ensure safety.  The dealership continues to answer any questions or concerns that drivers may have.

The top Texas Toyota dealer serving Granbury, Weatherford and Fort Worth celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Prius by highlighting the groundbreaking hybrid vehicle.

Ten years ago Toyota launched a new kind of car;. the now iconic  Prius, an affordable car with a hybrid gas/electric powertrain. In the decade that followed, the Prius made an indelible mark on Texas Toyota consumers. The car with the signature wedge shape proved to be an agent of change, and a catalyst for innovative ideas. Over 1.8 million units have been sold in the world to date, with nearly 900,000 in the U.S. alone.

“Toyota recognized in the 1990s that sustainable transportation would become a huge challenge in the coming decades,” said Jim Lentz, president and COO of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc.  “Those realizations proved accurate, and if anything, even more profound considering what we know today.”

The first Prius model was available to Granbury Texas consumers in July of 2000. Gas prices averaged nationally at a new high of $1.50 a gallon. The waning ozone layer and global warming were constantly in the news. Leading Texas Toyota dealership, Jerry Durant Toyota, recognized the significance of the innovative Prius Hybrid Synergy to Granbury TX shoppers concerned with rising gas prices and environmental issues.

The first Prius owners in Texas, well aware of public events and global developments, were conscious of the impact of their own choice to own a Prius from the leading Toyota dealership in Texas . They became articulate advocates for hybrid technology. Soon, demand outstripped supply, and the Prius became a popular choice for Granbury TX Toyota shoppers.

Toyota has introduced a substantially revamped version of its Sienna van for the 2011 model year, and the news on that front is mostly good. The latest Sienna is considerably better than the preceding model in nearly every way, and its improved ride and handling are particularly notable.

Discerning Granbury consumers know minivans are all about spacious interiors, accommodating seats and flexible cargo space. The 2011 Sienna from the leading Toyota dealership in Texas has available seating for eight passengers and ample storage space. In either version, the second-row seats can move forward or backward as much as 23 inches, providing a lot of space flexibility for the second and third rows. Sliding the second row forward also makes it much easier to climb into the third row. That seat can accommodate three small people or two adults.

For carrying more gear, the third row folds fairly easily into a well. But even when the third-row seats are being used, the cargo space is 39 cubic feet — about two and a half times as much as the trunk of a Camry sedan.

Texas Toyota consumers who need a first-rate family room on wheels will find the 2011 Sienna from Jerry Durant Toyota of Granbury checks off all the must-have boxes. There are five trim levels, two engines, front- or all-wheel-drive configurations, regular or sporty suspensions and a wide range of prices.

A 4-cylinder version starts at a budget-friendly $25,060 and is so nicely equipped that a lot of buyers could stop there. For Texas Toyota shoppers concerned about ice and snow, the least economical Sienna with all-wheel drive is $31,930.  Indeed, Toyota is the only automaker offering a conventional minivan with either a 4-cylinder engine or all-wheel drive.

There are versions catering to other preferences as well. Texas Toyota minivan owners can choose the 2011 Sienna SE with a sport suspension or pamper themselves with the luxurious XLE or Limited versions.

Toyota calls the 2011 model the third-generation Sienna, although there are many similarities with the previous one. The V-6 engine is carried over and the van is built on “roughly” the same underlying architecture, said David Lee, a product communications specialist.

The new exterior styling came from Toyota’s California design studio. A 6-speed transmission replaces a 5-speed unit. The steering system, formerly hydraulic, is now electric.

Texas Toyota consumers will love the 2011 Sienna XLE V-6 from Jerry Durant Toyota. This models is equipped with with all-wheel drive, 18-inch run-flat tires and a Premium Package ($6,225) that included rear-seat entertainment features, a navigation system and a backup camera.

The 2010 Toyota Highlander’s robust powertrain, versatile interior and agile maneuverability make it an ideal choice as a do-all family vehicle for Fort Worth Toyota consumers. Toyota Highlander offers Texas Toyota drivers seven passenger seating, 95.4 cubic feet of storage space and an attractive cabin loaded with plenty of amenities.

Such positive sales numbers even in a turbulent economic climate solidify Highlander’s reputation as a competent, refined, family-focused SUV that offers great practicality, cargo and passenger versatility for Fort Worth, TX Toyota consumers.

“Toyota performed well during the first half of the year, despite a difficult economic environment,” said Jim Lentz, president and chief operating officer of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.  “Although the entire automotive industry struggled in June as weakening consumer confidence weighed on sales, Toyota maintains its leadership position as the number one retail brand in the industry year-to-date.”

2010 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid continue to set the bar for safety. Since every Highlander model from the leading Toyota dealership in Texas has such available safety features as ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags that cover all seating rows, front-side airbags, and a driver-knee airbag, it’s no wonder that Highlander has received accolades from US News and World Report, Edmunds and Road and Track.

The federal government gives the 2010 Highlander a top score of five stars for driver protection in frontal crash tests and four stars for passenger protection. It also gets five-star scores for both front- and rear-seat protection in side crash tests. It receives four-star rollover scores. The insurance industry gives the Highlander top scores of “Good” in frontal offset, side impact and rear crash protection tests. Such impressive reviews coupled with impressive sales numbers make the 2010 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid from Jerry Durant Toyota, which serves Granbury, Weatherford and Fort Worth,  a terrific value.

Texas Toyota Enthusiasts Await Debut of 2012 Celica at Jerry Durant Toyota

The No.1 Toyota dealership serving Fort Worth, Granbury and the surrounding areas, Jerry Durant Toyota, proudly announces the eagerly anticipated relaunch of the original affordable sports car, the Toyota Celica.

Celica, which has been absent from Toyota’s line-up since 2005, is expected to return as a four cylinder, rear wheel drive, economical and fuel efficient sports car sure to become a favorite of Granbury Toyota consumers.

The redesigned Toyota Celica is expected to be an aerodynamic hatchback capable of seating four adults. Celica’s linear, fluid design will certainly turn heads and get you noticed in Granbury, TX!

The Celica is a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru. Weatherford Toyota consumers will appreciate Toyota’s reliability and fuel economy and Subaru’s sporty powertrain. The Toyota-Subaru alliance has engineered Celica to be a sports car with high-price looks but still a relatively low price tag.

Powering the coupe will be a Subaru 2.0 liter flat-4 engine with 200hp and 145 lb-ft. of torque. Road and Track is predicting that the car will weigh in at about 2700 lbs. That would make this a pretty quick car pushing 0-60mph around 6 seconds or better.The base engine will likely be coupled with a six-speed manual and an optional automatic transmission. Talk of a premium turbocharged engine in the plans that will deliver 300 horsepower.

The  Celica may have a bold powertrain and exciting RWD platform, but stays true to its roots as the iconic everyday affordable sports car with an anticipated price tag anticipated to be in the $17,000 to $25,ooo range.

The exhilarating new Celica is expected to premier at the top Granbury Toyota dealership, Jerry Durant Toyota, later this year.

Jerry Durant Toyota serves Fort Worth and the neighboring areas with unparalleled customer service and a tremendous selection of Toyota vehicles.

There is no higher safety designation awarded by the IIHS than “Top Safety Pick.” For vehicles to qualify for the award, they must earn the highest rating of “good” in the IIHS’ front, side, rollover, and rear impact tests and be equipped with electronic stability control. The rollover test was a added to the “Top Safety Pick” criteria in 2010, making receiving the award even more difficult.

The new Sienna is the first, and thus far the only minivan to earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick, since the rollover test was included.

A “good” rating requires a roof be able to support the equivalent of four times the vehicle’s weight compared with the current federal standard of 1.5. In the IIHS testing, the Sienna roof withstood a force equal to 4.12 times its vehicle weight. The Avalon’s weight withstood 4.07 times its vehicle weight.

Additionally, all Toyota models meet or exceed the safety requirements of the federal government and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The awards make Sienna and Avalon intelligent choices for Fort Worth Toyota consumers and are available today at Jerry Durant Toyota.

Out of all the non-hybrid vehicles in its class, the Camry is one of the most fuel-efficient.

To this end, all Corollas but the XRS model employ an updated version of Toyota’s venerable 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which is renowned for its efficiency. This 132-horsepower power plant manages to make the current Corolla a hair faster than its predecessor while still returning comparable gas mileage.

The latest Toyota Camry is offered as a front-wheel-drive, midsize four-door sedan. Four traditional Camry trim levels are offered: base, LE, sporty SE and luxurious XLE. Even the base model includes stability control, air-conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a six-speaker CD audio system, satellite radio and Bluetooth.

The “2010 Toyota Sustainable Mobility Seminar” featured presentations and panel discussions from global experts in energy, science and economics to explore the future of mobility.

“Our business is no longer simply about building and selling cars and trucks,” said John Hanson, national manger, environmental, safety and quality communications. “To provide truly sustainable mobility for the future, we must explore new energy sources, new partnerships and new ways of doing business.”

The seminar for business, automotive and environmental media and analysts also offers attendees the first opportunity to drive the 2010 Prius Plug-in Hybrid (PHV) demonstration program vehicle. The Prius PHV expands Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive technology with the introduction of a first generation lithium-ion drive battery that enables all-electric operation at higher speeds and longer distances than the conventional Prius.

When fully charged, the vehicle is targeted to achieve a maximum electric-only range of approximately 13 miles and will be capable of achieving highway speeds up to 60 mph in electric-only mode. For longer distances, the Prius PHV reverts to “hybrid mode” and operates like a regular Prius, a popular model for Fort Worth Toyota drivers.

“True sustainable mobility will not be achieved without societal acceptance,” concluded Hanson. “In the end, the customer and the market will decide.”

Sweeping up awards faster than the competition can keep track, the Prius is not only a car but a leader in the future of the auto industry. Texas consumers should take notice of the hybrid that everyone can’t stop talking about.

“If Apple made a car, it would be the 2010 Prius,” said Dr. Ben Lane, Managing Editor of WhatGreenCar.com.

WhatGreenCar.com Car Of The Year

WhatGreenCar.com gave the Prius a green rating of 30 which is given to each vehicle based on an assessment of the environmental impacts associated with a car’s use and manufacture. The WhatGreenCar.com analysis takes a look at both the fuel cycle and the vehicle cycle, creating a rating system that is inspired by organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency.

First the emissions inventory is analyzed, including an assessment of greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Next, an emissions impact assessment is conducted to better compare vehicles with varying levels of emissions. This assessment is achieved with a rating tool first developed by the European Cleaner Drive Programme to assess the impacts associated with the fuel cycle.

Once both assessments are complete, the vehicle is given a rating between 0-100 and the lower the score the less the environmental impact. How a vehicle will affect the environment not only today but in the future has become an important issue for Texas Toyota drivers.

With a rating of 30, the Prius far surpasses the required rating needed for consideration for the award, which is 45. The Prius hybrid was honored not only for the high rating but for integrating green features as part of the vehicle’s design.

“[The Prius] encourages a smooth stress-free driving style, improves fuel economy and drives down emissions,” said Lane.

Drive Car Of The Year

Drive introduced a new Car of the Year award to honor a car that stands out above the rest when it comes to technology that reduces the vehicle’s impact on the environment. The Drive Car of the Year Award (DCOTY) for Green Innovation in 2009 was given to the Prius hybrid for its constant focus on low fuel consumption.

Granbury drivers will be impressed to know that the Prius was praised by the judges as a benchmark for fuel-efficient vehicles, improving consumption by 10 percent while improving driveability with a bigger engine.

Green Car Journal Vision Award Finalist

The Green Car Journal announced the Prius hybrid as a finalist for the 2010 Green Card Vision Award. The award will be presented in January at The Washington Auto Show, “Change Happens Here.”

The Prius hybrid is being recognized for combining the usual functionality of a Prius with the ability to drive up to 12 miles on electric power only, an important feature for Texas Toyota consumers who are on a tight budget.

A Winner For Every Granbury, TX Driver

The Toyota Prius continues to gain well deserved recognition in the industry for its green designs that will serve as a model for all manufacturers in the future, but the most important reviews come from the consumers.
