An Insider's View 2010 4Runner

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

What's New 2010 Toyota 4Runner S45

It’s not often that a vehicle becomes an icon, but 4Runner makes the grade. All-new for 2010, the fifth-generation 4Runner continues a proud tradition of superb off-road ability combined with mannered on-road performance. But now, 4Runner’s already high standards have been thoroughly enhanced and refined. As a result, the new 2010 4Runner is a benchmark vehicle the competition could be studying (perhaps emulating) for years to come.

1) Impressive Off-road Technology

Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS)2,

A-TRAC3, Multi-Terrain Select4, HAC5 and DAC6 or

Crawl Control4 all work to help give the 4Runner

driver the confidence to conquer a variety of offroad

terrain.

2) Rugged 4x4 Features

4Runner 4x4 gets the hardware right, with bodyon-

frame construction and a 2-speed transfer case.

Limited boasts a Torsen® center differential7 with

locking feature; Trail and SR5 get a simple and

reliable part-time 4WD system.

3) Everyday Flexibility

4Runner is a great everyday vehicle. For passengers,

a 40/20/40 split reclining 2nd-row seat and an

available 50/50 split 3rd-row seat cover the bases.

For cargo, a 440 lb. capacity sliding rear cargo deck8

can make loading/unloading a snap.

4) Luxury, On-road or Off

4Runner’s luxury interior can include a tilt/slide

moonroof9, automatic climate control9, iPod®

integration, XM® satellite radio, navigation10 and

more. Party Mode speakers in the rear hatch help

turn a tailgate picnic into an event.

5) More Power, More Economy

For 2010, 4Runner V6 hits the trifecta: better

horsepower (up by 34), better torque (up by 12 lb.-

ft) and better fuel economy ratings (up by 1 mpg

city / 2 mpg hwy)11,13 than last year.

Toyota to Boost Hybrid Battery Capacity by 10%, Nikkei Says

By Chris Cooper

June 13 (Bloomberg) -- Toyota Motor Corp. will boost hybrid battery production capacity as much 10 percent over earlier plans next year as orders for its Prius model rise, the Nikkei newspaper said.Toyota to Boost Hybrid Battery Capacity by 10%, Nikkei Says

The automaker aims to increase manufacturing capacity to 1.1 million nickel-metal hydride cells in 2010, the paper said, without saying where it got the information.

Toyota originally planned to boost production capacity by 300,000 batteries from 700,000 a year, the report said. Panasonic EV Energy Co., owned by Toyota and Panasonic Corp., will make the batteries, the paper said.

Toyota increased output of the Prius in Japan this month as orders rose 75 percent since the hybrid went on sale in May.

What You Need to Know About Antifreeze

You've probably never thought about your coolant or antifreeze unless you have a leak in your car. However, this fluid is one of the most important parts of your Toyota. Here are a few facts about antifreeze/coolant and why it is important to your car.

This versatile fluid serves two purposes: It keeps your engine from overheating in warm weather and your engine from freezing in cold temperatures.

You should have your radiator flushed every two years to keep fresh antifreeze/coolant in there. Particles of rust and metal can erode and build up in the fluid if it is not maintained. This can clog the system and create a number of problems and expensive repairs.

You can recycle antifreeze, but you should never throw it in sewage systems, storm drains or in your trash container.

Whether used or new, antifreeze is extremely toxic and can lead to death. Always use special care when handling antifreeze around children or pets.

Antifreeze must be able to withstand heats in excess of 250 degrees. It also contains rust inhibitors and a lubricant to keep the cooling system working properly at all times.

These are just a few things your Greensboro, NC area Toyota dealer thought you should know about antifreeze and your cooling system.
