Toyota's All-Wheel Drive Technology for Florida Rain

A recent press release by Toyota USA "Toyota Sienna Van and RAV4 Compact SUV: All-Wheel-Drive Cures for the Winter Blues" detailed significant all-wheel drive benefits with the Toyota Sienna and the RAV4. Toyota asked AMCI Certified Testing for an objective independent evaluation of the Sienna and the RAV4. The test results revealed notable advantages with all-wheel drive. 

This is GREAT NEWS for us in Fort Lauderdale, Florida! If Toyota's all-wheel drive vehicles outperformed their leading competitors on snow and ice, imagine what they can do in heavy Florida rain and mud!




The RAV4 offers a sophisticated Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel Drive system. By coordinating through a high-speed interactive management system with Vehicle Stability Control and electric power steering systems, Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel Drive helps enhance performance, handling and safety.




In addition to making harsh snowy winters more bearable for families, Toyota’s all-wheel drive technology helps provide additional on-road capabilities. The Sienna all-wheel drive system employs a transfer case to smoothly deliver power to an electromagnetic coupler on the rear differential that divides engine power up to 50/50 front and rear. Wheel slippage at either set of wheels automatically transfers more power to the opposite wheels to help keep the Sienna moving forward. This type of system not only handles wet and slippery roads (Florida rain!) with confidence, but is fully up to light-duty off-highway conditions. Driver intervention is minimized, as the all-wheel drive system continuously monitors the torque transfer between the front and rear wheels. This advanced system automatically shifts to all-wheel drive (AWD) when accelerating to help prevent front wheel slippage, or when sensors detect wheel slippage. When tackling off-pavement driving or very slippery conditions, pushing an AWD Lock button fixes torque distribution to maximize grip.


Let's go places — Through ice, snow or Florida RAIN... and MUD!
