This live Q&A session with Toyota Jeff Teague covers a wide range of Toyota models and features, with a strong emphasis on the RAV4 Hybrid's current high demand and limited supply, advising viewers to "scoop it up" if they find one. Teague highlights the hybrid's superior horsepower and fuel efficiency (40 MPG) compared to its gasoline counterpart. The discussion delves into Toyota Safety Sense, specifically Lane Tracing Assist, explaining its functionality with the windshield camera and front radar. Apple CarPlay integration for older Camry and Sienna models is addressed, with a caution about potential dealership learning curves and costs. The upcoming 2024 4Runner is previewed, noting expected additions like Toyota Safety Sense, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, with a redesigned 6th generation anticipated around 2022. Teague also differentiates between 4Runner trims (SR5, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro) based on suspension and off-road capabilities. The Supra's imminent arrival is mentioned, with limited availability and potential market adjustments expected. The longevity and reliability of Prius batteries are affirmed, with many exceeding 400,000 miles. Finally, Teague touches on paddle shifters, CVT reliability, and the potential for a TRD Camry, while also offering advice to fellow car salespeople.
