Toyota unveiled the upcoming and redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra… let us know what you think!

Though not all Toyota dealers in Vermont play by the same rules, we are all playing the same game. This being the case, it’s the job of the Handy Toyota dealership staff to find new and intriguing ways to get you to do business here; why buy cars at Handy Toyota versus a Burlington, VT Toyota dealer when we all have Camry L sedans, Tundra Grade trucks, Venza Limited CUVs, and so forth? Beyond our sterling reputation, one thing that has always set us apart is photos.

While you may be scratching your head wondering what’s the big deal, keep in mind that to the untrained buyer a Camry is a Camry is a Camry. What better way to show you, the prospective buyer, why a Camry L is $23,000 and a Camry XLE is $30,000 than with a slew of pictures: Entune infotainment systems and touchscreen monitors, backup cameras, V6 versus 4-cylinder engines, and even AWD tags are so easily conveyed via photos that it makes both our job of selling the car and your job of researching the purchase so much easier, but without the right character behind the camera a Toyota dealer like us can, instead of helping you find your car, scare you, ending with you running away from our lot and instead buying a (*gasp!*) Ford!

Handy Toyota’s official blog, one of the Internet’s top spots for all things Toyota and Tundra. Today, we would like to talk to you a bit about one of our favorite topics: special edition and customized Tundra trucks.

Those of you who know us - and judging by the fact that we hear from you all frequently regarding our superbly low Toyota Tundra and other Toyota vehicle warranties from Toyota Extra Care - you know we are one of Vermont’s, if not New England’s prime spots for all manner of Tundras. Lead by our founder’s grandson and sales manager Adam Luneau, we have carved ourselves a spot as the go-to Toyota dealership in the region for the hard-to-find Toyota Tundra’s you all love so much: the Tundra Rock Warrior, the Tundra Limited, and the Tundra Platinum are some of our favorites, but we’ve also purchased a few of the new Tundra Limited Rock Warriors and customized a few Tundras to fit in various buyers’ lives, from chrome accessories to aggressive, sleek black five-spoke rims, making Handy Toyota the place go to for a Tundra that speaks volumes about you, its owner.

With this in mind, we thought it would make sense to give you a little bit of information on what each Tundra model entails, along with a few ideas on why each specific version of the Tundra - of which, as you know, there are many - would be right for you.

Since the mid 1990s, Toyota, SUV, and vehicle-versatility fans have raved about the best selling compact SUV, the Toyota RAV4. In fact, the name of the vehicle says it all: R-A-V-4 stands for recreational active vehicle with 4WD, an acronym that for once clearly explains exactly what this vehicle is all about with nary a missed letter & word or unneeded information.

In the Venn diagram of reliability and fuel efficiency, Toyota takes the top prize year in and year out. So it should come as little surprise that Toyota buyers in VT are jazzed on an annual basis for news on the most American full sized sedan, the Toyota Camry, the 200 HP and 40 mpg 2013 Camry Hybrid, or the all new, city-sized compact hybrid the 2013 Prius c.

New car specials

Have you checked out our new car specials lately? We have some great deals that can’t be passed up.

I don’t know about you, but I just can’t get enough storage space. I love organization and when I don’t have it I feel like the world just might end. What’s worse than not enough storage space? Moving into a new place with someone that already uses every spare cubic centimeter of storage space for their own stuff! And worse than that: not wanting to spend too much money making more storage space a viable option.

Enter my newfound dilemma.

It’s with this in mind that I indulged in that tireless, ever-present task of scouring the Internet, hoping I could give the Handy Toyota blog fans a few tips, resulting in a new board on Handy Toyota’s pinboard, Inexpensive Storage Solutions, featuring loads of storage ideas which I’m going to go out on a limb and exclaim are nothing short of genius!

To just know that someone, anyone, cares.

You’re a soldier of the United States of America.
