Anyone who finds themselves in need of a new sedan in or around Washington, DC has two great options in the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry. Both of these vehicles have been updated recently to make them even more appealing to consumers. Ultimately, it may be difficult to decide which of these well-equipped vehicles is the right one for your needs, but we’ll always be there to assist you at Fitzgerald Toyota of Gaithersburg.

The Toyota Corolla is the smaller of the two sedans. That said, it offers plenty of space for up to five passengers. You get five different trim levels to learn more about when shopping for this vehicle. All of them come loaded with great features like Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch touchscreen, a WiFi hot spot, and Bluetooth. You also get driver aids like a forward collision warning system with automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beams, and lane-keeping assist.

Underneath the hood of the Toyota Corolla will be one of two engines. If you drive a Toyota Corolla L, Toyota Corolla LE, or Toyota Corolla XLE model, your vehicle will be powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that gives you 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque. The Toyota Corolla XLE and Toyota Corolla XSE get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder instead that produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque instead. Both are paired with a continuously variable transmission.

Now let’s look at the Toyota Camry which is also available at Fitzgerald Toyota Gaithersburg. This slightly larger sedan is actually available in six different trim levels, five of which share a name with a Toyota Corolla trim. The Toyota Camry also has a TRD version that we have pictured above, which offers an aerodynamic body kit, 19-inch wheels, a special suspension, and upgraded brakes.

One thing that makes the Toyota Camry a bit special is the fact that it is available with all-wheel-drive, which makes it a great ride for inclement weather in the greater Arlington and Alexandria, VA areas. On the powertrain front, the standard is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that will make 203-horsepower as well as 184 pound-feet of torque. Select models can also be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that can give you 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque for driving around Washington, DC.

In a Toyota Tacoma, you’ll have the freedom to do what you want, when you want to. It’s a capable truck that has a great blend of performance, convenience, safety, and technology. There are many good reasons why it’s one of our popular vehicles at Fitzgerald Toyota Gaithersburg near Washington, DC.

Performance

An available 3.5-liter V6 delivers 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The base engine does well also, with 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. The smaller 2.7-liter engine comes with a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, which is ideal in many situations. For those times when Baltimore drivers have heavier loads to pull, the V6 can be counted on. When properly equipped and with the V6 under the hood, the Tacoma has a maximum towing capacity of 6,400 pounds.

Safety

What also helps the Tacoma appeal to so many is its comprehensive safety package. All new Tacoma SUVs come with Toyota Safety Sense™ P. It includes automatic high beams that will turn on if the road up ahead is very dark, dynamic radar cruise control that can let you maintain proper distancing with other vehicles, and a pre-collision system that warns drivers about likely collisions and increases brake power if needed.

Many of our customers in the Arlington, VA, area have big dreams of taking their truck off-roading. The good news is that the Tacoma can be equipped with many features that will let drivers in the Alexandria, VA, area go almost anywhere. The TRD Off-Road Crawl Control is an advanced system that makes adjustments so you can cross challenging terrain. An electronically locking rear differential and Multi-terrain Monitor also make it easier to drive on uneven trails.

There are so many options when it comes to the Toyota Tacoma. Choose from the SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, and TRD Pro trim levels. With some models, you can choose whether to have an access cab or double cab, 4×2 or 4×4, and a short bed or long bed. At our dealership, we’d be happy to help you learn more about what’s available.
