The 2014 Toyota Tundra is exciting in many ways, but mostly because it marks the first restyling of the full-size pickup since the 2007 model year. The new truck will be manufactured in Toyota's pickup plant in San Antonio…

Drivers for years and years have turned to the experts at Kelley Blue Book to determine which model and brand they should purchase when they're in the market for a new or used car. Yes, Kelley Blue Book is quite the trusted auto source, which is why we at Avondale Toyota were so thrilled when we found out that the popular publication had paid such high regards to one of our favorite models in…

As auto enthusiasts likely know, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, also known as the IIHS, has a long history of rating automobiles and determining which are the safest for drivers in the Avondale area and beyond, using various crash tests.
