Toyota Trucks – Why You Want One in the Nova Scotia Winter

Comfortable on the inside, rugged on the outside --- this is the recipe for the right kind of vehicle in Nova Scotia’s winter. Toyota fits the bill with either of its two ever-impressive truck offerings, the Tacoma and the Tundra. Both have been firm favorites in Canada and across North America, and it’s not hard to understand why.

The Tacoma, first of all, powered by its 3.5L DOHC V6 engine delivering 278hp, is ready for anything. When you have to traverse difficult terrain or rough road conditions, you activate the one-touch 4WD system, select the appropriate setting from the Multi-terrain Select feature (available only on automatic models) and you’re on your way. You can also rely on the locking rear differential, Bilstein front and rear shock absorbers and even the new “Crawl Control” function to ensure maximum traction and perfect suspension and balance.

The Tundra delivers a mighty i-Force 5.7L V8 engine with 381hp, and can be upgraded with the same TRD Off-Road package as that described above for the Tacoma. Other packages for the Tundra (and Tacoma) include the Sport, Premium, TRD Pro and the 1794 Edition. In short, the Tundra can withstand anything Nova Scotia is prepared to throw.

A Toyota truck is also built with Toyota’s signature high-quality interior materials, with a range of options to personalize the look and feel to suit your taste. Choose from several upholstery options, from standard black cloth up to premium sumptuous leather. Available heated seats make winter drives especially warm, and the Toyota Safety Sense ADAS suite helps keep you safe on the highway or smaller road.

For power, traction, control, comfort and safety, it’s hard to find a better truck package than either the Toyota Tacoma or Tundra. With multiple trim options and great scope for personalization, you can make this winter-friendly truck truly your own.
