Why Buy During Toyotathon?

Mount Airy Toyota is rocking the very best deals of the year during The Mount Airy Toyotathon! Toyota doesn’t promote huge sales all year long like many other car brands.  Our customers know that the best savings opportunities come at the end of the year Toyotathon event!
At the top of the bargains this year, is the 2020 Toyota Rav4 on sale now thru December 31^st for as low as $26,696.

Why Are the Specials So Great!
New Models - With a new year just around the corner, new 2020 models are rolling off the transport trucks.  We know many of our customers wait for the new models to roll in each year.  The more we pre-sell, the more cars are sent from the factory.

Tax Considerations - We still have a huge inventory of 2019 models on the lot.  The dealership owner has to pay taxes on those vehicles so we need to get them off our lot before the clock strikes midnight.  Out with old, in with the new! 

Sales Goals - Next, the Toyotathon beats all other sales during the year because it is our very last chance to meet our sales goals. To reach these goals, we need your help. With just a few weeks left in 2019, there is not much time left before we will be ready to set new goals. This means it is time to crank up the deals and give it our best shot by offering the very best deals and incentives.

Customer Loyalty – We know our customers wait for this event each year and we want them to get the very best brand on the market at the prices they can afford.  Why not take advantage and buy that new car you’ve always wanted during Toyotathon!

Financing
The Toyotathon doesn’t just mean great prices, it also means great financing. Financing is a huge part of the car buying process. How will you be financing your next car? Are you buying or leasing the vehicle? Will you be paying for the vehicle up front, putting a large down payment on the vehicle, getting a full loan? These are important things to think about when it comes to financing your vehicle. Depending on whether or not you’re getting a loan and making monthly payments, your interest rate makes a big difference. During the Toyotathon, the 2020 Rav4 can be financed for as low as 0.0% annual percentage rate.

Sibling Rivalry: the Toyota RAV4 vs. the Toyota Highlander—Which One to Buy the Family for Christmas

It’s no secret SUVs have become the vehicle of choice for a wide variety of drivers. The popularity of sport-utility vehicles is largely due to the fact they are equally family-friendly, sporty, rugged, smooth, fast, comfortable, luxurious, and so much more. At Mount Airy Toyota, we have two of the best and most beloved SUVs on the market today: the Toyota RAV4 and the Toyota Highlander. Which one should you buy this Christmas Season?

Here is a quick comparison of the RAV4 and Toyota Highlander—our two favorite siblings! Both SUVs are equally formidable and fit for any family, and both come with varying features that are sure to wow anyone looking for a new car this Christmas.

Let’s Talk Space
The most noticeable difference between the RAV4 and Highlander is in the category of size. Both are roomy and comfortable, but the RAV4 is a bit smaller than its big brother, the Highlander. The RAV4 easily seats five people, while the Highlander is capable of holding up to eight passengers.


Regardless of how many people you need to fit inside, both vehicles offer tons of space for an average-sized adult in the second row, while the third row (in the Highlander) is best suited for children and young adults.

Let’s look specifically at the Highlander:

All three rows of seats sit upright and the total room offered in the trunk area is 13.8 cubic feet. This means there is plenty of room for groceries, sports equipment, school supplies, etc. even when the Highlander is at full capacity. And if you happen to need even more cargo space in the back, the entire third row of seats can be stowed to allow for a total of 42.3 cubic-feet of space—perfect for a long road trip or vacation. Wait, need even more storage space? Stow the second row, in addition to the third, to create 83.7 cubic-feet of open area.

The RAV4:

Though there is less cargo space in the RAV4, it’s still plenty for the average family. With all five seats occupied, there is 38.4 cubic-feet of open room in the back. By taking away the second row, you can open the area up to 73.4 cubic-feet of cargo space, which is only ten feet less than the Highlander with all three rows intact.

A Look Under the Hood
A notable feature of these Toyota SUVs is their raw power. Both the RAV4 and Highlander pack a punch due to the caliber of engine resting under the hood.

Let’s start with the RAV4:

The Toyota RAV4 comes with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that provides 176-horsepower and 172 pounds-feet of torque. This is just enough power to put this SUV ahead of the game and to allow for 23 miles-per-gallon city and 30 mpg highway. And if you need to use your new RAV4 for towing, it can pull up to 1500 pounds—that’s easily a snowmobile or four-wheeler.
For those looking to go a little lighter on the use of fuel, Toyota offers a hybrid version of the RAV4 that has a 2.5-liter engine that gives 34 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

The Highlander:

Big brother needs a bigger engine, and the 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine gets the job done. It has 185 horsepower and 184 pounds-feet of torque that is paired with a six-speed transmission and Snow Mode, which provides improved handling for snowy and icy conditions.
The Highlander comes as front-wheel-drive only and gets 20 mpg city and 24 highway. And it can tow up to 1,500 pounds without a problem.

If you need more power in the Highlander, Toyota also offers a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine that has 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. This model comes in either front- or all-wheel drive. To save money on gas, go with the front-wheel drive, which gets you 21 mpg city and 27 highway. And for towing, there is a capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.

Which Works for You?
The best thing about both the Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Highlander is their unmatched reliability. Through the years, both SUVs have won plenty of awards and have even been rated by U.S. News & World Report as two of the most reliable SUVs on the market today.
The Christmas season is the perfect time to buy a RAV4 or Highlander, and at Mount Airy Toyota, we can help you narrow down which is the perfect fit for you and your family. Come see us today!

Toyotathon is Coming to Town!

The most wonderful time of the year has arrived. ‘Tis the season for—you guessed it...Toyotathon! While Toyota offers several impressive sales and savings opportunities throughout the year, none of them come close to the mega deals you can get through this end-of-year sale. 

Toyotathon is when inventory levels and factory incentives come together for one big blowout sale. And as one of the premier Toyota dealers in North Carolina, we’ve got the inventory here at Mount Airy Toyota. There are tons of new vehicles in our lot that have been waiting for just the right home. We also have a big incentive. As more of the new 2020 models roll into our showroom, we must make room. This will inevitably result in hundreds of 2019 and 2020 Toyota models going home this Toyotathon at a steal.

Has the new Tundra been on your wishlist for some time now? We’ve got ‘em. How about the new 4Runner or Camry? Or maybe you’ve been dreaming of getting your hands on the new souped-up Supra? Yes, we have all those too—and so much more.

As incredible as these Toyotathon deals are, however, don’t expect them to last. Our inventory is whittling down as we speak, so make sure to come by for a test drive soon!

Now, to get some ideas flowing for what your next big gift to yourself could be, we’ll take a look at the some of the top-selling Toyota models available today. But first, here’s a brief background on the Toyotathon event:


TOYOTATHON EXPLAINED
Since 1957, when manufacturing began in the United States, Toyota has been leading the American automobile industry in many respects. This is largely due to their continued dedication to quality and innovation, which has resulted in one best-selling vehicle after another and many groundbreaking designs.

Another major way in which Toyota has been a forerunner in the industry has its origins in 1977, when the company launched its first Toyotathon event. The sales team posed the question: What if we held several minor sales throughout the year and ended the year with the biggest sale anyone has ever seen? Thus, the first Toyotahon was born—a 24-hour sales event that set new records.

Since then, Toyota has held the blowout sales event every single year, frequently crushing sales records and always thrilling customers. Many automobile companies now follow this format, but none of them quite match the magnitude of Toyotathon.

Without further ado, let’s look at some of the Toyota models you can expect to see at his year’s Toyotathon. We’ll cover a few features of each, as well as what experts are saying about each model in general:

Tundra
The Tundra is Toyota’s full-size pickup, and it comes in six trim levels: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, and TRD Pro. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but four-wheel-drive is available.

The Tundra’s most powerful engine, which is available in the four higher trims, is a 5.7-L, V8 engine good for 381 horsepower and 401 foot-pounds of torque. Buyers of the 2019 SR or SR5 can opt for a 4.6-L, V8 engine that produces 310 hp and 327 lb-ft of torque, though this engine is not offered on the incoming 2020 Tundra.

“It pulls strongly off the line and there's a burbly exhaust note trailing in your wake. The six-speed automatic shifts smoothly, and always seems to be in exactly the gear I want.”
— CNET RoadShow




Perhaps the most impressive characteristic of the Tundra is the size and storage space of the backseat, which is a cut above the competition—especially when you opt for the crew cab. It also has better standard safety features than others in its class (e.g., Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Nissan Titan), as well as some stellar off-road capability.

If you like the outdoors and/or need a solid pickup for towing, the Tundra will get the job done. And it’ll look good doing it.

If you’ve been looking for just the right Toyota Tundra for sale, chances are we have it!

Tacoma 
Now for the Tundra’s little brother—the Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma is a midsize pickup also available in six trims: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, and TRD Pro.

The SR and SR5 trims are stocked with a 2.7-L, four-cylinder engine that yields 159 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. The other four trims come with a 3.5L V6 that produces 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque.

“The midsize pickup truck market has been growing, but it's fair to say that the Toyota Tacoma is still the odds-on favorite for a lot of shoppers. From its basic work-truck configuration to luxury-oriented or off-road variants, the Tacoma is simply one of the most well-rounded pickups on sale today.”
— Edmunds



The Tacoma has been a leading compact/midsize truck since its advent in 1995, and it seems to evolve into an even better pickup each year.

If you’ve been looking for a Toyota Tacoma for sale in NC, look no further than Mount Airy Toyota. We also have a great selection of used Toyota Tacoma trucks for sale!

4Runner 
Built on the same body-on-frame construction as the Tacoma, buyers can find the Toyota 4Runner in seven trim levels: SR5, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, TRD Pro, Limited, and Limited Nightshade.

A 4.0-L, V6 engine is standard on the 4Runner, and it delivers 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque. Paired with this engine is a five-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with Intelligence (ECT-I). This combo makes for the best acceleration, power and stability yet in a 4Runner.




“Toyota's solid 4Runner remains one of the last truck-based mid-size SUVs and serves as a multitool on wheels. With a respectable 5,000-pound towing capacity and nearly 90 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, the 4Runner blends capability and off-road prowess.”
— Cars.com



Like many other Toyota models, the 4Runner has a well-established reputation and only gets better with time. To find the right Toyota 4Runner for sale in NC, simply come to our dealership!

RAV4
The 4Runner’s smaller sibling, the RAV4, comes in five different trim levels: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, Limited, and XSE Hybrid. Each one comes standard with a 2.5-L, four-cylinder
engine good for 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, as well as, an eight-speed automatic transmission.

“Don’t let the rugged styling of the all-new 2019 Toyota RAV4 fool you: Underneath that off-road-inspired design is a compact SUV that still offers a roomy interior, easygoing comfort, a slew of standard advanced safety features, good fuel economy, and is backed by a tradition of excellent resale value and reliability.”
— Kelley Blue Book


Perhaps more than any other Toyota model, the RAV4 is consistently evolving in pretty much every area—from appearance to performance to comfort. Maybe that’s why it was the best-selling SUV and fourth overall best-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2019.

The best place to find the RAV4 of your dreams is at a premier Toyota dealer of NC like Mount Airy Toyota!

Camry
The Camry has been the best-selling sedan for so many years that it needs no introduction. It comes in five trims—L, LE, SE, XLE, and XSE.

There are three different engines available on the Camry. The first is a 2.5-L, four-cylinder that produces 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a 3.5-L, V6 that’s good for 301 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. The available Hybrid system includes a 2.5-L, four-cylinder that exudes 176 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque.

“The new Camry offers sleeker styling, but it's the improved fuel economy and handling, plus standard advanced safety systems, that distinguish it among the crowd of midsized sedans.”
— Consumer Reports





When it comes to all-around great vehicles for families, it’s hard to beat the Camry. Since its major overhaul in platform, styling and dynamics in 2018, the Camry doesn’t really have any weak spots. It’s safe, it rides and handles great, it provides impressive performance, it looks awesome, and the list goes on.

If you’re dreaming of a Camry as your Toyotathon purchase, we’ve got plenty of them!

Corolla 
As with the Camry, the Corolla has been a staple in the automobile industry for many years. It currently comes in six trims: L, LE, LE Eco, XLE, SE, and XSE. All of the trim levels come stock with a 1.8-L, inline-four engine that boasts more than 30 miles per gallon.

“You should buy the Corolla if you are in search of a well-built compact car that's loaded with lots of safety and technology features.”
— US News and World Report






It’s extremely hard to beat the Corolla when it comes to overall quality in compact cars. Along with superior fuel economy and class-leading standard safety features, the Corolla holds the highest predicted reliability rating on the market. Plus, it has a lot of passenger space (especially the sedan models), and it looks really, really good coming and going.

Mount Airy Toyota is the place to come if you’re looking for a Toyota Corolla in NC!

Supra
The first fifth-generation Supra is on the way, and there are three trim levels available: 3.0, 3.0 Premium, and Launch Edition. Like the rest of the car, the engine was built in cahoots with BMW; the B58 engine is a turbocharged beast. It’s a 3.0-L, inline-six capable of 335 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque, and it’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Supra will have you at 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, and you’ll cover a quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds at 113 mph.

“This is a genuinely transcendent product, pushing the limits of what's possible in a competitive class … get behind the wheel and the end result is a product that far exceeds any preconceived notions.”
— Motor 1
