If you know what you want in a Toyota, a custom order can ensure you get it. At Classic Toyota of Tyler, Texas, we have abundant options on our lot, but you may not see the specs you’re after. A custom build will give you control over the details, ensuring your Toyota customization is the perfect fit for your lifestyle.

Personalize Your Toyota in Tyler, TX

When custom ordering a Toyota vehicle, you can make a range of modifications, from aesthetics to performance and functionality.

Select Your Custom Toyota Trim Level

All Toyotas have various trim levels. Typically, the base trim is the cheapest and has the fewest features. As you climb toward the top trim, you’ll have additions such as heated seats, leather upholstery, wireless device charging, larger infotainment displays, and more. 

Some models have a focus, such as the TRD trims, which prioritize off-road capabilities, featuring rugged tires and suspension adjustments. Others aimed at aesthetics — the Nightshade trim has blacked-out exterior elements for added mystery. Typical Toyota trim levels include:

  • LE: Luxury Edition
  • SE: Sport Edition
  • SR: Sport Rally
  • SR5: Sport Rally Five-Speed
  • XLE: Executive Luxury Edition
  • XSE: Extreme Sport Edition
  • Limited: Created with premium additions
  • Platinum: Designed with luxury inclusions
  • TRD Sport: Enhanced capability on paved roads
  • TRD Off-Road: Improved ability for off-road driving
  • TRD Pro: Equipped with off-road suspension for tough terrains

Customize Configuration

Toyota builds include functional options, so be prepared to select your engine, drivetrain, and transmission, as this impacts your horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency. Consider which aspects are most important so you can build your ride accordingly. 

If you’re buying a minivan or SUV, you’ll also have a choice of interior configurations. This usually affects the second row of three-row vehicles, where you can choose two captain’s chairs or bench seating for three.

Custom Select The Color of Your New Toyota

Personalizing your vehicle from scratch lets you choose from the available paint colors. Most are standard options, but you’ll probably pay more for exclusive finishes. 

Toyota offers a variety of interior colors based on the seating covering in the trim you’ve chosen. Coverings include fabric, leatherette, or leather, and you’ll have choices over the shade, stitching, and other detailing.

Access the Latest Features and Options

Your trim selection determines the basic features and amenities included in your Toyota. You can modify it for greater comfort or functionality in the form of packages that come at an added cost. Often, you pay less for a specific package than you will for a higher trim. For example, if you only like the heated seats in a higher trim, compare the price of a cold-weather package to that of the higher trim and see which makes better financial sense. Packages vary by model, trim, and year.

Multimedia Upgrades

Multimedia packages typically include larger infotainment screens, and you may unlock an upgraded audio system with more speakers.

Convenience Packages

You can expect the convenience of a smart-key system or an autodimming rearview mirror. HomeLink, which allows you to control your garage door and smart home system from your vehicle, may be included in your package.

Cold-Weather Packages

You won’t need a cold-weather package too often in the Tyler climate, but if you travel or can’t stand the cold, you may want this upgrade. Cold weather packages usually add heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

Safety Packages

Toyota Safety Sense is a suite of driver-assistance and active safety features that improve driver awareness, helping prevent accidents. Features commonly include:

  • Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection
  • Dynamic radar cruise control
  • Lane departure alert
  • Automatic high beams
  • Lane tracing assist
  • Road sign assist

Toyota Safety Sense is standard in some Toyota models and trim levels and available as an optional add-on in other models. Some safety packages include enhanced camera systems.

Tow Packages

If you plan to tow with your Toyota truck or SUV, it’s important to choose an appropriate tow package. Some higher trims include this, but enhanced towing equipment is usually a separate package, comprising a powerful tow hitch, transmission cooler, engine oil cooler, and upgraded alternator. Various packages might unlock a tow mode, trailer backup guide, or towing assist features.

Prime Your Toyota for Your Lifestyle

Your customized Toyota is a big investment that you’ll want to protect. Toyota’s standard warranty covers most systems and components for three years or 36,000 miles. ToyotaCare is a separate assistance and maintenance plan for two years or 25,000 miles, and you can upgrade to ToyotaCare Plus for five-year/75,000-mile coverage.
