Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) officially released their sales for the month of February, and even in a shorter month, it’s clear how much people love this brand! February may only be 28 days long, but it’s hard to argue with 174,339 vehicles sold in that short span of time.

“Industry sales in February topped a 17 million unit pace for the eighth straight month,” said Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager of the Toyota division. “Led by best-ever February sales of RAV4, 4Runner, and Highlander the Toyota division also set a new light truck record for the month.”

A few other highlights from the month of February are:

  • RAV4 posts best-ever February with sales of 26,351 units, up 3.2 percent
  • Sequoia records 23.6 percent increase
  • Camry posts February sales of 27,498 units
  • Toyota division SUV posts best-ever February with sales of 54,623, up 14.3 percent
  • Highlander posts best-ever February, up 27.8 percent

If you’re familiar with Frontier Town in North Hudson, NY (about an hour outside of Plattsburgh, NY), you’ll be excited to hear it’s getting a makeover. The abandoned theme park which closed in 1999, will now be the site for the “Gateway to the Adirondacks,” a new world-class tourism destination. New York State will invest $2.8 million in the tourism hub and expects to create new jobs for the area.

Gateway to the Adirondacks will include:

  • Equestrian camping and trail riding area
  • Adirondack Park Visitor Information Center
  • A campground and day use area along the Schroon River
  • Interactive exhibits in historic structures highlighting the past, present, and future of the Adirondack forest products and local food industries
  • Event center with tourist accommodations
  • Adirondack craft beer experience at Paradox Brewery

“The Gateway to the Adirondacks will be a world-class tourism hub at a strategic location to attract new visitors to the Adirondack Park and drive economic growth in the North Country,” Governor Cuomo said. “The Master Plan, developed with key community partners, builds on our comprehensive efforts to protect the Adirondack Park while attracting tourists to experience the wide array of outstanding recreation options this region has to offer.”

It looks like construction of this project isn’t due to begin until 2019, but check back for updates on the DELLA Toyota in Plattsburgh blog!

If you’ve experienced a winter in Plattsburgh, NY; Burlington, St. Albans, VT; Lake Placid, or Malone, NY, you know how difficult it is to keep your vehicle clean. Between road salt and dirty snow, it seems like your ride is always sporting a “winter coat” from December to March. Not only does winter debris look bad, it can cause serious damage to your vehicle. Road salt, dirt, snow, and moisture can cause rusting and deterioration on the exterior of your vehicle. If you want to keep your vehicle looking and feeling like new, DELLA Toyota in Plattsburgh has four tips below.

Winterize with Wax – Winterizing your vehicle may be as easy as adding a coat of wax to the exterior. This will add an extra layer of protection between your ride and the road junk.

You Missed a Spot  – Behind the front grille, quarter panels, and wheels are generally where road salt tends to collect, making it extra susceptible to rust. Pay special attention to these areas while cleaning your vehicle!

Wash It Down – It may seem counterintuitive to wash down your vehicle in the winter, but trust us, it’s worth it! Whether you choose to wash by hand, with a power washer, or at an automatic car wash, we recommend doing it as often as every other week. Be weary of the temperature, though. Avoid washing your vehicle if the temperature is below freezing. You’ll be driving around in a popsicle before you know it!

Switch It Up – The interior of your vehicle needs protection from winter conditions too. We recommend investing in some custom fitted rubber mats to protect your floors from the snow, salt, and mud your boots will undoubtedly drag into the cabin. If you’re looking to cut down your ice-scraping time in the morning (and who isn’t?), we suggest draining your windshield wiper fluid and replacing it with de-icing fluid.

If you have any questions, feel free to schedule an appointment or stop by our Service Department! We’ll be happy to help.

In one of our earlier blogs, we announced that the Toyota brand has been awarded more Top Safety Pick ratings than any other brand! And they aren’t done, as the 2017 Toyota Highlander has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn this award, a vehicle must complete five IIHS crashworthiness tests (roof strength, side, small overlap front, head restraints, and moderate overlap front) and achieve a “good” rating on each one. It must also achieve an acceptable headlight rating along with an advanced rating for front crash prevention. The 2017 Toyota Highlander managed to do all of this, and even more impressively, with only its standard features! Most vehicles require optional features to achieve this rating.

“Toyota is firmly committed to a wide range of initiatives further enhancing the safety of Toyota vehicles and peace of mind for our customers,” said Jeff Makarewicz, Toyota’s North American Vehicle, Quality & Safety Engineering Group Vice President. “This sincere dedication to safety by our engineers resulted in another IIHS Top Safety pick for Toyota.”
