7 Orlando Toyota tips for a comfortable road trip

Spring break is just around the corner and that means there’s probably a road trip in your future. Long car rides can be a drag if you’re not comfortable, so Toyota of Orlando is here to give you our favorite road trip tips for max comfort on your journey. Let’s get started!

Tips from the road trip pros

Tip #1: Get enough sleep the night before

Driving without enough sleep is very dangerous. In fact, multiple studies have proved sleepy driving is almost as dangerous as drunk driving. That being said, it’s very important you get your beauty sleep the night before. Plus, being well-rested will put you in a better mood and make the trip more enjoyable.

Tip #2: Wear comfortable clothes

Road trips are by no means a fashion show. No matter how comfortable the interior of your car is, you’ll want to wear a comfortable and breathable outfit. Sweatpants, a tee shirt, and slides are the perfect long voyage attire. 

Tip #3: Stock up on healthy snacks

Constantly stopping for food adds a lot of time to your drive. It’s inevitable you’ll have to stop here and there, but try and keep food runs to a minimum. Our Orlando Toyota techs strongly advise you include snacks on your packing list. 

Tip #4: Have a good audio system and road trip soundtrack

A road trip isn’t complete without some good tunes. Double check you have a high-quality sound system and a good playlist before you leave. You’ll find all of our 2018 Toyota models are equipped with fantastic sound systems. Our state-of-the-art Entune system provides hands-free listening with wireless streaming and unbelievable sound quality. 

Tip #5: Find the perfect seat position

Find your road trip sweet spot with the seat position controls that come with every Orlando Toyota. Position your seat so your spine is straight and your knees are slightly bent and you’ll have a much more enjoyable trip. Plus, you can kick up the comfort with the lower lumbar support customization feature found in a handful of our Orlando Toyota models. 

Tip #6: Use Cruise Control

Keep a steady pace on the interstate by using cruise control. This will provide a smoother ride for you and your passengers and save you fuel along the way. Just don’t forget to stop every once in a while to stretch your legs.

Tip #7: Get a pre-road trip service check 

Before you hit the road make sure to stop by Toyota of Orlando for a full service check. This will prevent any sudden breakdowns and make sure you’re getting max fuel efficiency.
