The World's Most Dizzying Road

We all love driving around in our Toyotas. Whether we are cruising around in a vintage Camry or brand-new Tundra, spending some quality time on the road can be a fun experience.

But have you ever taken time to think about the roads we drive on everyday? For instance, do you know where the most dizzying road in the world is? According to the Huffington Post, Passo dello Stelvio in the Ortler Alps in Italy has 48 hairpin turns and an average incline of 7.4% -- and 6% is about the maximum for U.S. highways.

While many of us don't travel on streets nearly as treacherous, it's still important to make sure you stay safe on the road. Don't forget to keep your Toyota in good shape and schedule a service appointment at our Merced Dealership today!

Where we're going, we don't need (paved) roads.

Toyota FJ Cruiser
All Back to the Future references aside, the Toyota FJ Cruiser should be your off-road vehicle of choice. No road? No problem.

If you're riding around and encounter a little water resistance, have no fear, FJ's here. With this Toyota, drivers can have the confidence to cross a creek, and the clearance to back it up. FJ’s elevated air intake and protected electrical components can defy currents up to 28 inches deep, helping you cross safely to dry land.

So if you're an outdoor enthusiast, we recommend taking a look at a new FJ Cruiser. The next time you're out car shopping, be sure to stop by Merced Toyota and take one for a test drive!
