Top Toyota Vehicles for a Summer Road Trip near Matteson, IL

Top Toyota Vehicles for a Summer Road Trip near Matteson, IL

Warmer weather has arrived here in Chicagoland which means many drivers are planning or getting ready for a summer road trip. If you’re in need of a new or new-to-you vehicle for upcoming vacation plans, Orland Toyota has the answer! Check out our top picks that are perfect for exploring the open road. 

Although there’s really no Toyota model that you couldn’t take to explore the Midwest or across the United States, there are a few vehicle options that really excel when it comes to the key factors people want in a travel vehicle: 

RAV4

The first option we want to highlight is the RAV4. One of Toyota’s most popular modes in general, we love the RAV4 for travel because of the spacious cabin and numerous accessory options. Recent iterations of this crossover have provided impressive updates with it comes to all-terrain capability, including Multi-Terrain Select, Torque Vectoring AWD, plus the TRD trim level. The vehicle’s wide stance and optimized suspension provide a smooth driving experience that’s crucial when you are behind the wheel for hours at a time. Enjoy seating for five and plenty of extra places to store gear with the available roof cargo container and roof rails for attaching a kayak or bikes. Plus you can choose between the traditional gas engine or a hybrid version for even more fuel savings. 

4Runner

The 4Runner is an iconic travel vehicle and for good reason. It’s ideal for those who want a little more muscle and seating capacity options compared to the RAV4 or Toyota’s other smaller crossover. You’ll have an available third row of seating with 50/50 split-folding capacity and a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity1. A unique feature you won’t find almost anywhere else is the power rear glass. We love this feature when traveling because it allows you to grab a bag or jacket from the cargo area without having to completely open the rear door. If you’re thinking about hitting the mountains or rugged trails out west, the 4WD and body-on-frame design of the 4Runner are top notch. 

Crown

If you are traveling solo or pack light, you may not need the space of a crossover SUV. The Crown gives you the best of both worlds, thanks to its high ground clearance, available AWD, and trunk space that’s comparable to the Camry. You’ll have confidence to tackle a wide variety of weather conditions and you’ll love the MPG ratings that the hybrid powertrain offers. This sedan also has premium interior comfort features and a bold style that will turn heads at every rest stop. And you’ll still have plenty of room for passengers in the back or space to keep the essentials handy. Come take a test drive here at Orland Toyota to experience the unique benefits of the Crown for yourself!

The whole process of buying a new car was very easy at this location. Patrick O'Day was super helpful, honest, and upfront with us. He let us drive the car without him since he knew we already put a deposit on it. I understand these cars basically sell themselves, but he didn't push a lot of extras on us. We also appreciated the knowledge and expertise of Dan Salmon, the finance guy. Carolyn was also extremely helpful through email communication at the beginning of our car search. Orland Toyota definitely got our business easily today! Thank you for everything! The kids absolutely love our decision!

I had an amazing experience at Orland Toyota! My salesman, Jacek, was incredibly patient, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. He kept me informed every step of the way and always made sure I was updated with any changes or progress. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and informative, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. The delivery of my new RAV4 was also such a great experience. Jacek took the time to help me set everything up in my vehicle and thoroughly explained all the features, controls, and ins and outs of how everything works. Any question I had, he answered with ease and never made me feel rushed. I truly appreciated the excellent customer service, attention to detail, and care shown throughout the entire process. Thank you, Jacek, and the Orland Toyota team for making this such a positive and exciting experience!

At 78 years old I have purchased many new and used vehicles for my wife, myself and my three children. I can say the vehicle I purchased yesterday from Orland Toyota was the best experience to date. With the help I received from online, Gary, to sales, Patrick and documents and payment, Dan I drove away knowing I would not hesitate to direct friends and family to that crew.

I had an excellent experience working with Jack Kowalis at Orland Toyota. From start to finish, Jack was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right vehicle—not just making a sale. He answered all my questions clearly, made the process smooth, and never made me feel pressured. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and easygoing car buying experience, I highly recommend asking for Jack. He goes above and beyond to take care of his customers. 5 stars all the way!

Jim Faciana is one of the best service consultants at Toyota in Orland Park. I continue to bring my vehicles here primarily because of him. Jim is consistently attentive, professional, and goes above and beyond to assist both me and my husband. Our cars are always repaired on time, and the work is done right the first time—no callbacks or repeat issues. That level of reliability and service is hard to find.
