That makes it perfect for families in East Peoria who want to bring along boats, midsize campers, or multiple ATVs. The Highlander also offers three rows of seating for up to eight passengers, plus a refined interior with available leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and hands-free liftgate access for busy loading days.

    If towing is a regular part of your lifestyle, Toyota trucks offer the raw, dedicated capability and proven durability you need.

  • Toyota Tacoma: A proven midsize pickup, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds when properly equipped. That's plenty for boats, work trailers, and off-road toys. The Tacoma combines capability with legendary reliability, making it popular with drivers in Bloomington who want a truck that's equally at home on city streets and rugged trails. Available features like Multi-Terrain Monitor and Crawl Control help navigate challenging landscapes, while the composite bed resists dings and scratches for long-lasting utility.
