The Toyota Tundra Hybrid does more than conquer the snow; it also challenges the industry titan, the Ford F-150 Hybrid, in the burgeoning hybrid truck market. Diving into the nitty-gritty of performance, interior luxury, and functionality, let's see how the Tundra compares to the F-150.

The Toyota Prius pioneered the whole concept of hybrid vehicles back in 1997, serving as the world's first mass-produced hybrid passenger model.

When you're looking for your next hybrid car, there's a pair of options that are all but guaranteed to pop into the conversation: the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight. The big question for you, of course, is which model offers the better package for your life on the road?

Has the search for your next vehicular purchase brought you to the full-size sedan segment? Well, if so, we here at Toyota of Somerset suggest you have a good, long look at ours, the 2017 Avalon.

The expert admired how the rugged SUV delivers reliable off-road driving and is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds, which we believe makes it an attractive option for our customers' active lives.

Chances are, you have a friend or relative who works at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., so you know that Toyota builds some of the most American-made cars in the industry. But, did you know Toyota's investment in the United States goes far beyond manufacturing?

The Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon assembled in Kentucky are not the product of blueprints sent over from Tokyo, to simply be built domestically. In fact, the 2016 Avalon and the 2015 Toyota Camry were both designed at CALTY Design Research, Inc. in Michigan.
