...It's Time for Spring Service at Hoffman Toyota!

Being so close to the town of Bristol, CT, we at Hoffman Toyota know as well as you do that the seasons around here change everything, from the landscape to the flora and fauna, but there is one more thing a new season should do: remind you to take care of important seasonal maintenance!

When most Hartford area drivers think about the humble pickup truck, they think about hard work, grit, sweat—all that good stuff. And why wouldn't they? Pickups have become synonymous with tough work and hard workers, but you know the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," and well, it's kind of true.

The 2018 Toyota Tacoma doesn't suffer from that, however.

If you ask pro surfer Anastasia Ashley or pro snowboarder Louie Vito, the answer is: a world's worth of adventure.
