Driving on the black top day in and day out for work,
school, and everything in between can get a little dull. Back and forth on the
highway and city streets often leaves drivers longing for something more. If
your sense of adventure is calling, you might want to try off-roading! But, buying
the right Orlando Toyota vehicle you’ll need to take on the trails, plus the added
tires and suspension, can get confusing. If you’re not sure where to start on your
off-roading adventure, don’t worry! Toyota of Orlando is here with an easy guide
to get you off the pavement and on the trails!
The 411 on off-roading
Taking your Orlando Toyota vehicle off-roading can be an exciting
thrill ride that’ll take you to all new places. But, if you and your vehicle
aren’t prepared to handle the rough terrain, you could find yourself in a tough
spot (like stuck in the mud or between a few trees). Here are a few things you
should consider before taking your car off the beaten path:
Vehicle type
Unfortunately, not every vehicle is built to withstand
off-roading conditions. For example, taking an Orlando Toyota Corolla or Camry out
on a trail will most likely land you in hot water and ruin your vehicle’s
suspension, body, and other important components. At Toyota of Orlando, we
recommend using a larger SUV or truck for off-roading to ensure that you have
the ideal height and customizable suspension for the best clearing height.
Vehicles like the Toyota Land Cruiser, Tundra, 4Runner, and Tacoma make great
vehicles for braving trails.
Find groups and organizations to go with.
While off-roading is a thrilling experience, it can be daunting,
and you shouldn’t take on a trail unless you know where to go and you have
people to go with. Not only is it better to share this experience with other,
but if an accident were to occur someone’s there to help you. The best way to
find off-roading groups around Orlando is to check out local online forums and
clubs.
Consider using after-market customization parts.
Vehicles like the Orlando Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma are
built to withstand off-roading conditions, but they could benefit from using after-market
parts to enhance their performance on trails and rough terrain. Lift kits for
suspension and all-terrain tires are recommended to give your vehicle some
extra oomph when it comes to driving on trails. However, when customizing any
car with after-market parts, you need to be aware of all that will entail. For
example, adding a new part for your suspension typically requires adding new
tires to compensate for the new height of your vehicle and the same applies for
many other parts. Be sure to plan out your off-roading vehicle’s build in
advance before diving in. If you’re unsure or need parts you can always ask our
auto parts experts at Toyota of Orlando!
