Used Pickups

Choosing a pickup truck can be a stressful process, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you need a work truck or one for hauling the family around, I suggest you begin with the used options of a reliable dealership. A place like Mount Airy Toyota Scion has plenty of pre-owned pickup trucks to offer, and at low prices.

Truck brands such as Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, and Toyota are known for making pickups that last and maintain their value. These trucks are also easy and relatively inexpensive to maintain. This is why it’s important to visit your local dealership and look at the used options first. You save money, time, and most importantly, you can stay stress free.

Before visiting the dealership, decide on a budget. Trying to work out how much you are willing to spend while shopping can prove difficult and often lead you to overspend. A quick tip if you are looking to finance is to use the 20 percent rule. You’re monthly truck payment should not exceed 20 percent of your take-home pay. Also, if you are looking for a work truck, see if you can either write-off a portion of the payment or get your boss to cover some of the cost.

Choose the truck that is best for you. There is a big difference (literally) between a Toyota Tacoma and a Toyota Tundra. Do you need a family fun truck or a work truck? Knowing this will help determine if you need a light-duty, medium-duty, or heavy-duty pickup.

Once a truck is decided on, close the deal with a dealer you can trust. The sales associates at Mount Airy Toyota Scion are capable and ready to help get you the best deal on the best used truck. It’s a great time to shop for a pre-owned pickup in Mount Airy. Get out there and see what you can find.

Tundra
Whether you live in Mount Airy, NC or you’re coming from Winston-Salem, Elkin, Galax, VA, you know you can find the best deal on a new pickup truck at Mount Airy Toyota Scion. Pickup trucks and work trucks are a necessity in the mountains, but picking out the best one for the job can be tough.

In the world of full-size pickup trucks, there are a select few with histories of continued durability and power. Among these, the 2015 Toyota Tundra proved itself as top contender. This year, the 2016 Toyota Tundra does even better.

Truck drivers shopping for a full-size pickup usually have a specific reason for such a vehicle. These types of trucks are not for the casual truck driver. They are made to work well under serious conditions, and to produce time and again. Full-size trucks can pull and haul just about anything to anywhere. And right now, at Mount Airy Toyota Scion, they know big truck drivers want nothing but the best. That’s why they stocked the lot full of brand new 2016 Toyota Tundras in a variety of colors and trims.

Undoubtedly, there are those still not sure which full-size truck to drive off the lot. So, let’s compare the 2016 Toyota Tundra to another stalwart member of the full-size family, the 2016 Ford F-150.

Beginning with price, the Tundra comes in first. The 2016 Tundra has a base MSRP of $28,640, while the Ford F-150 starts at $31,685. This is not an incredibly large difference in price, but any savings are worth a second look. In way of engine size and horsepower, the Tundra wins again. With a 5.7-liter, V-8 engine and 381 horsepower, the 2016 Toyota Tundra kills the 2.7-liter, V-6 engine and 325 horsepower of the F-150. What about towing capacity? You guessed it, the 2016 Toyota Tundra is better. The new Tundra has a capacity of 10,100 against the F-150’s 8,100.

When you take the power, price, and presence of the 2016 Toyota Tundra and include features such as the Entune Infotainment system, and complete phone and internet connectivity, it simply can’t be beaten. Visit Mount Airy Toyota Scion today and find the best Tundra for you.

And that hasn’t changed. In March 2016, Edmunds.com listed Camry number 14 on its list of most researched vehicles.

Toyota overhauled the Camry last year, but they stayed faithful to the features and traits that faithful Camry lovers have come back for over and over again. While the 2016 Toyota Camry might look sleeker, it still has its famous hushed, smooth ride. Ergonomic control layout is still there too.

So why the overhaul? Adding a sleeker design to the already comfort-oriented ride just might mean 2016 Toyota Camry has it all. The 2016 Toyota Camry definitely has a sportier look, but the interior décor is still restrained. According to Car and Driver, “The 2016 Toyota Camry provides one of the most comfortable and spacious cabins of any midsize family sedan. There’s plenty of headroom and legroom up front and not much less in back, where even taller adults will be content to ride for extended periods.” They go on to say that, “The sensibly designed climate controls deserve special praise for their simple, intuitive operation.”

Toyota Camry offers great optional features as well. On the LE and SE models the Entune Audio Plus package is offered. It provides an upgraded 7-inch touchscreen, satellite radio and HD radio. Drivers may also opt for a sunroof.

Yes, Toyota Camry is a tradition when it comes to comfort and quietness, and yes, those qualities are still key to joy of this great car. But it delivers a supple ride with the sport-tuned trims. The Toyota Camry has been driving America since 1983 and its not slowing down.

2016 Toyota Tacoma: A Transformational Leader

Apr 25, 2016
By Mount Airy Toyota

Tacoma

In Mount Airy NC, pickup trucks are a way of life. And the 2016 Toyota Tacoma is a prime example why we love driving trucks around here. At Mount Airy Toyota Scion, we have the 2016 Toyota Tacoma Limited V6 Truck Double Cab 4×4 and the 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport V6 Truck Double Cab 4×4.

It’s not difficult to see why the Toyota Tacoma has so many loyal drivers. A vehicle with consistently sharp looks, advanced technology, and expert performance should have a cult-like fan base. And with over 170,000 trucks sold last year, it looks as though the arrival of the 2016 Toyota Tacoma will be well received.

The exterior size and shape have not been changed much for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The decision to keep the Tacoma’s look the same is not one of laziness or lack of innovative thought, it is simply because there is no change needed. The iconic shape with its rounded sides that lead to a tough, toothy grille and oval-shaped headlights are recognized by just about everyone. Why change something that already works well? The few changes that do apply to the 2016 Toyota Tacoma are small. The offset wheelwell lips are gone, giving a more sophisticated, minimalist look. Also, the new model gets a three-piece bumper with resin side covers, and the incorporation fiberglass materials to reduce weight.

Since Toyota did away with standard versions of the Tacoma last year, there are now only two cab options, the Access or Double cab. The Access cab is a two-seater with two smaller fold-up seats in the back. This style is best for those drivers who need some extra room for gear or groceries, but not ideal for family off-roading trips. For more room, go with the Double cab. This style has a full back seat that comfortably holds three adults. The Double cab also has storage under the back seats and adjustable headrests. If there is such a thing as a family-truck, this is it.

In terms of performance and technology, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma is still on top. Its popular V-6 engine provides great fuel economy and packs a huge punch. And with a 6.1-inch touch-screen display, and Siri Eyes Free compatibility, it’s easy to stay connected and tough not to be impressed.

If you are looking for a new pickup truck in Bristol VA or Abingdon VA, Mount Airy Toyota is a short drive away and we promise to make it worth the drive!

2016 Toyota RAV4: The Best Compact SUV Around

Mar 16, 2016
By Mount Airy Toyota

Rav4

A compact SUV like the 2016 Toyota RAV4 is tough enough to tackle the mountains around Mt. Airy, but still great on gas mileage!

In the 1990s, Toyota noticed a need in the market for a compact SUV. Toyota proudly introduced the RAV4. Ever since, the Toyota RAV4 has done quite well for itself. Each year it has grown in popularity, and today it is one of the top selling compact SUVs produced.

Besides its high performance levels, great gas mileage, and innovative look, there is something else that makes the RAV4 great: its drivers. Toyota has continually sought after the opinions of the RAV4 drivers to see what could be done better, and then taken that advice to heart. This year, Toyota asked, and we responded noting the need for more attention to the interior of the vehicle. And, to no surprise of Toyota fans, the company responded with the best version of the Toyota RAV4 ever made.

The interior of the 2016 Toyota RAV4 comes with better quality materials than it has in previous years. The majority of surfaces are soft-touch and easy to keep clean. There is distinct stitching around the dashboard and console, which highlights its curvy shape. The instrument cluster and digital display are reconfigured and revised as well. This creates a completely new look inside the venerable RAV4. There is even an available seven-inch touchscreen display offered this year. Along with a few USB ports and a 12-volt outlet for the rear, you can stay connected anywhere you go!

In addition to a sporty and intelligent exterior, and a comfortable and roomy interior, the 2016 Toyota RAV4 includes some very nice features. The 2016 model includes (at the base level): power locks, windows, and mirrors; LED lighting, a 12-volt power outlet for the front compartment, and an LCD touchscreen that controls the radio/CD player. But, if you decide you need a bit more, the Toyota RAV4 has you taken care of. The sporty new SE model includes shifters behind the steering wheel, LED head and taillights, a power driver’s seat, plus more options for interior color schemes.

The 2016 RAV4 may be the most compact SUV on the lot, but is sure packs a punch. With too many features to list, a newly redesigned interior, and a sleekly modern looking exterior, the RAV4 is the SUV to beat.

Looking for a Toyota RAV4 in Winston-Salem or Elkin, make the short drive to Mt Airy to save! Mount Airy Toyota Scion is located at 508 N Andy Griffith Pkwy.

2016 Avalon

In Mount Airy, NC, the 2016 Toyota Avalon is an excellent choice for commuting to Winston-Salem. A stylish, streamlined sedan with a classic look makes the 2016 Toyota Avalon your choice for a high-end vehicle for a low price.

In 2013 big changes, and good ones at that, were made to the Toyota Avalon. A streamlined exterior with flared fenders and a rolling roof line brought the look from a typical sedan to high-end vehicle. Each year since this reconfiguration, the Toyota Avalon has been able to make subtle changes here and there, and improve upon good ideas to make them great. This trend to perfection continues in the 2016 model with a redefined front-end, including a larger grille with down turned edges, giving the new Toyota Avalon a tougher, more serious look. And the standard LED taillights on all 2016 Toyota Avalon models, modernizes what continues to be a vehicle of relevance.

The interior of past Toyota Avalons have been nice, but often ended up feeling like a slightly upscale Camry. For the past few years though, the interiors have been tweaked to advance towards a luxury unmatched by those in the same price range as the Toyota Avalon. With soft surfaces, leather bound cup holders, and a conservative use of wood grain highlights and minimalist colors, the 2016 Toyota Avalon looks and feels better than ever.

Toyota Avalon’s success in safety features continue to impress. In addition to electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes with Brake assist, up to ten airbags, and a Smart Stop break-override system, Toyota has added a pressure monitoring system. This system uses tire-specific pressure monitoring to let you know exactly when and which tires need air. If you live anywhere, such as the Mount Airy region, that has constant changes in temperature, this is a great feature to have.

The best part about the new Toyota Avalon is its low price. Right now at Mount Airy Toyota you can find a 2016 Avalon XLE with front-wheel drive for only $31,991. That’s $2,500 off the suggested dealer price! Come in now and give Toyota’s most luxurious vehicle a drive. You won’t regret it.
