McKinnon Toyota Reviews the 2016 Toyota Tundra
A new pickup should be an investment in the future. The Tundra promises to be there for the long haul as well as the big haul. It has the backing of auto analyst Kelley Blue Book, which recently gave it a prestigious award.
Resale Value Award
Beating the Ford F-150 and others in its class, the Toyota Tundra earned the Best Resale Value Award from Kelley Blue Book. This certainly indicates that the Tundra is successful as a business asset in both ways that count. It can work hard, and it can be sold profitably when it isn’t wanted any more. For a quick quote and up-to-date information about pricing, contact McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Birmingham AL.
Smart Slip
To make the 2016 Toyota Tundra competitive in more situations, engineers outfitted it with a limited slip differential(LSD). This makes the electronic traction control work for the truck and never against it. The LSD device recognizes when the truck needs power but it also needs traction. Instead of decreasing power at this crucial time, like every other traction system on a pickup, it can create stability while maintaining power. This is essential when the truck is hauling or towing. When other trucks are reducing the throttle, the Tundra can move the load full-steam ahead.Schedule a test drive and check out the performance for yourself.

Always ready to take you on an adventure, the 2016 Toyota 4Runner is also ready to challenge the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You’ll find financing, a large selection, and good deals at McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Montgomery AL.
Detailed Package
The 4Runner is every bit the detailed package that the Grand Cherokee is. In fact, the 4Runner starts you out with eight speakers rather than the Grand Cherokee’s six. It has a standard backup camera, an option on the Grand Cherokee. It has a standard tow hitch, another Grand Cherokee option. While the Grand Cherokee has many luxurious trims, it offers them at a near-luxury price. The 4Runner offers its more luxurious cabins without driving the cost up so high.
Spacious Package
If you are trying to decide which one to test drive, be sure to check out the 4Runner’s big cabin. The 4Runner has a class-leading 47 cu.ft. cargo hold. That beats the Grand Cherokee and every other SUV. The 4Runner expands space to 88 cu.ft. The Grand Cherokee claims only 68 cu.ft., a 20 cu.ft. difference!
Performance
The Grand Cherokee and 4Runner offer different takes on performance. While the Grand Cherokee powertrain has more horsepower, the 4Runner delivers more torque. Since torque ensures adequate acceleration, this gives the 4Runner the advantage. After all, it takes some real strength to move a big SUV in interstate traffic or on the trail.

Four Reasons that Your Family Will Love the Sequoia
The 2016 Toyota Sequoia offers a smart tech-rich cabin as part of a package designed to serve the American family. There are many reasons to test drive. Here are four of the most compelling reasons to give it a try for your family.
Performance
Generally a three-row SUV is underpowered. The Sequoia refuses to be one of them. It has plenty of horsepower and torque. This means it can handle its weight even during uphills climbs or interstate sprints.
Ride Quality
Reviewers have noted that the Sequoia has a better ride quality than many other three-row SUVs and crossovers. That’s because Toyota engineers constructed a suspension that can adequately damp the road bumps. The engineers also made sure to insulate the cabin against noise, making the ride much more pleasant.
Spaciousness
A three-row SUV should be big and spacious, even on the third row. Since the third row is part of the design, not a last minute extra, this SUV truly has enough space for every passenger.
Ample Cargo Space
A family SUV should be able to take care of your travel gear. The Sequoia has a large cargo hold. You can multiply your free space by flat-folding the seats.
