We’re back in the time machine for this week’s episode of Toyota Untold, visiting Japan in the late 1960s where we jump into the driver’s seat, or passenger seat (famously), of Toyota’s first supercar, the massively influential 2000GT. Timeless ’60s styling, movie star status, $1 million price tag, and a backstory for the ages – what doesn’t the 2000GT have? Though only a few hundred were ever manufactured, this iconic speedster stands as one of Toyota’s, and the world’s, most memorable vehicles. Why? For starters, Japan’s first supercar blew the doors off of what the world thought of the then ..read more

Toyota Untold is celebrating the highly anticipated release of the next generation 2022 Tundra with a special three-part series, starting with a wholesome fireside chat with U.S. Air Force Veteran, DIY Tundra overlander, and lifelong Toyota driver, Jeff Buchenroth. Jeff outfitted his 2016 Tundra to tour the country’s National Parks and shares his experiences with us today…many of which share themes of the kindness and kindred spirit that he’s found on the road, from Glacier to Yellowstone and many stops in between. Following Jeff, our friend Kevin Kavanagh, the leader of the pack at Tundras to ..read more

It seems like everything has changed in the last 18 months. Live events and promotions, specifically, are an area that will likely never be the same. This summer, Toyota leaned into this shift with a brand-new, all-inclusive event space hosted at Toyota USA headquarters in Plano, Texas, that previewed upcoming news for select members of the automotive media landscape.  The result was a one-of-a-kind, multi-day brand presentation – one that very well could redefine the model moving forward. Media guests, most from nontraditional outlets, came from all over the country to (safely) experienc ..read more

Grab some popcorn, Josh Brooks has a story to tell. As a boy, a classic vehicle in his neighborhood caught his eye — a stunning ‘79 Toyota Starlet. Like most people, though, he’d nod his head in approval and go on with his life… to school, the park or wherever a kid might spend his time in the small town of Radstock, England. That’s where the story takes a turn into the uncommon. The experiences shared by Josh, the car and its original owner in the decades following these sightings were as uncommon as they were endearing. What’s more, they’re truly representative of the family-minded approach ..read more

Still going strong (and into space!), the “Fast” film franchise is one the highest-grossing the movie industry has ever seen and shows no signs of slowing down. Sure, superstar names like Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson take top billing, but the franchise is built on fast cars – none more famous and sought-after worldwide than Paul Walker’s orange Gladiator Supra featured prominently in “The Fast and the Furious” (2001). We’re joined by Craig Lieberman, original owner of the film’s primary, hero vehicle, a 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV. We go behind the scenes and dig into what it was like ..read more

The driver-vehicle relationship is changing quickly. From sensors to cameras, AI and other smart-enabled tech, it’s starting to seem like vehicles are more computer than they are car. In this episode, Toyota research scientists, John Lenneman, Ph.D., and Josh Domeyer, Ph.D., join us to address common curiosities and answer questions—while posing many more. That’s the nature of the job, it seems. Both are proud, self-admitted nerds, passionate about problem solving and discovery, especially as they relate to safety in the auto industry and beyond. They detail their academic journeys to Toyota a ..read more

Ask someone to picture a car, and most people will imagine a sedan. They’re arguably the default vehicle of the modern age… or at least they were. Currently, two SUVs are sold for every sedan, and many manufacturers are slowing or ceasing sedan production, entirely.   Toyota’s Sam Goot (Vehicle Marketing and Communications) and Paul Daverio (Production Planning and Strategy) join us to explain exactly why Toyota is standing tall as one of the only manufacturers still fully committed to the cars we know and love.  From the new features and styles available in recen ..read more
