Auto news on Youtube Jan 29 2018

So if you watch my main channel you would know that I have gotten a new truck and I

have a lot of plans for this thing like a lift, a roof rack, which we're actually going

to do today.

Now, a roof rack can't hold a lot of weight.

I think the one I'm installing right now, just the OEM one, can hold about a hundred

pounds.

But the reason I want it is because between the roof rack where it mounts right here,

and over here on the side, you can put a light bar.

And if you remember from my old truck, I had a 50 inch light bar that would light up the

entire road right in front of me – almost like it was daylight.

Now, I can't put a 50 inch between the roof rack on this one, but I'm going to save that

for a new video.

This video is just a roof rack installation.

Let's get started.

[Intro]

Now, if I were to have Toyota install this roof rack themselves, the OEM roof rack, it

would cost me like a hundred bucks...a little bit over 100 bucks, and I don't think it's

going to be that hard.

So I don't really want to pay them that extra money when I can just do it myself.

Okay, so inside the box we have these brackets right here, and there is an LH and an RH.

So we have the left hand side and the right hand side, and those are going to be mounted

with these pink bolts right here.

We'll talk about the blue bolts in a second.

And then we have these light blue bolts as well.

They are all kind of color coded with Loctite.

And we have some washers and then another large bolt.

So I've seen a couple of YouTube videos where people take screwdrivers and stuff and try

to get rid of this molding right here because this is what the roof rack bolts into.

There are some pre-drilled holes so it's not super hard.

But I don't think a screwdriver is really necessary.

You don't have to worry about scratching your truck – it just kind of pulls up all by

itself.

There is some tape down here at the bottom.

That looks like it's coming up well enough.

Remember, this truck's only about a couple weeks old so tape really hasn't had a whole

lot of time to sit there and adhere to the truck yet.

And the back weather stripping comes off easy enough as well.

It's got a little bit of adhesive on it, but it looks like that will peel right off.

So installing the rack itself, I have the left hand one right here and there are the

screw holes underneath this rubberish tape.

Now I've seen some conflicting reports on YouTube whether you should remove this or

not.

I'm going to leave it intact and just put little holes where the bolts need to go, but

I'm leaving this rubber tape thing, it's kind of like a seal, so it can compress a little

bit as I'm tightening down the bolts and it can act as kind of a large washer even though

these washers are included.

So now we have all of the washers down, and we have this metal bracket in place.

So this yellow piece is going to go in this hole right here, and this black piece is going

to snap into this circle here.

So I should be able to get it in place.

So the way this roof rack works is there's a little latch right here at the top, and

the whole thing can swing around and clip into the other side on the other part.

So I'm going to take the dark blue, which is actually a t20 bit, and I'm going to put

it in the two little screws that go into the metal brack and bolt it into the front.

And then the longer screws, there are 3 of them, they're going to go inside these metal

circle holes all the way through the back.

And then we're done with the left side.

The last little bit is there is a little bit of adhesive underneath this back part.

Remove that adhesive protection and then tuck it down inside of the weather stripping and

push it in place.

The driver's side is in place and the passenger side is now in place.

The only thing different with the passenger side is that there's one more bolt that goes

onto the swing arm.

So how it works is that that will unsnap on that end, this will unsnap on this end, and

then the swing arms will just go into the opposite holes from where they're at.

You can put skis up here, or in my case, an LED light bar between these two front plastic

mounts.

And there it is installed in my truck.

It took about 30-45 minutes.

Saved me about 100 bucks.

Kind of worth it in my opinion.

Now we can get that LED light bar attached between the two, or put some skis up there.

You know, it's nice to have a usable rack on top of your truck.

Trucks are meant to be useful.

If you have any questions, leave them down in the comments.

Hope to see you around.

Toyota Yaris GRMN review - Duration: 12:36.

The chief editor asked me if I want to drive a Toyota Yaris.

Not really. It's a car for the elderly.

But a Yaris with 209 hp is okay.

This is something special.

Let me tell you the origin of this car, because it has a story.

Normally you can buy a Toyota Yaris with a max of a little over 100 hp.

It's not a car made for fast driving, but the people at Lexus and Toyota have an opinion now.

It should be more fun. That's why they do something crazy at times.

Two years ago Toyota decided to do WRC with the Yaris.

That one is more powerful than the car we're driving now. It has nearly 400 hp.

If you're going to do that, the marketing department wants something special for the customers as well.

That's why they looked at what they could build.

They contacted their people who know something about the Yaris and fun stuff.

They asked for cases to see the cool things they can build that don't cost too much.

They looked at the engines etc.

In the end, a Belgian man had the best idea.

That man is a Yaris product specialist and now for Gazoo Racing too.

That's what "GR" in GRMN stands for. I'll get back to the "MN" later.

That man is called Stein Peters.

His idea for this car was to use the 1.8 engine combined with a Land Cruiser intake manifold.

The fuel pump comes from the Lexus IS F. All these parts make this fun package.

The result, on paper, is good. This car has a supercharged 1.8-liter engine. That's special.

I'll tell you more about that later. With supercharger it has 209 hp and 250 Nm (184 lb ft) torque.

That's why it does 0-100 kph (62 mph) in 6.3 seconds, if you're good with a MT.

The top speed is limited to 230 kph (143 mph).

That's a Yaris Casper wants to try.

This Yaris is a limited edition. All have been sold already, so the price doesn't matter.

46,500 euros in the Netherlands. That's because of taxes and CO2 fines.

It's an expensive car compared to a Clio RS or 208 GTI.

However, only a few will be built. 600 in total; 200 for Japan and 400 for Europe.

Of the 400 in Europe is 1/3 right-hand drive for the English market.

Because it's a limited edition, it was sold out within 3 days.

You could sign up on a special Toyota website.

They didn't look at their most important costumers who want to store the car in a garage.

Instead, the first who signed up were allowed to buy one.

5 have been sold in the Netherlands, so you won't see one often.

That's a shame. Let me explain what this project is for.

Gazoo Racing will be the new performance brand of Toyota.

Audi has S and RS, BMW has M, and Toyota will have Gazoo Racing.

They will have two lines: Gazoo Racing and Gazoo Racing Masters of Nürburgring (GRMN).

Maybe the Japanese shouldn't come up with brand names.

That's what they're going to do. The Masters of Nürburgring (GRMN) line will be the exclusive one.

They'll continue doing that. There will be other models.

These'll be limited edition too. The level below that will be Gazoo Racing (GR).

That one will be freely available with an unlimited production.

This car has to start it all for the European market.

There are varieties in Asia, but this is the first model with the GR or GRMN logo in Europe.

That's remarkable, because the Yaris is almost done here. There'll be a new one.

This may be a nice goodbye model.

Enough about that. Let's talk about the handling.

It's fun. Keep going, keep going, keep going, and brake for the corner.

That's a shame. This was only 6,500 rpm. It could've been 500 more.

Another fun thing to mention is that the pedals are in the right position for easy heel-and-toe,

for those who like that and can do it.

The 1.8 has a supercharger, not a turbo. That makes it different from many other engines.

What makes a supercharger different compared to a turbo is, in short...

A supercharger sits on top of the intake manifold to make sure extra air gets into the engine.

It's connected with the crankshaft through a belt.

The supercharger spins faster at higher rpm and more air goes in.

You have to keep the rpm high to get the power, but that makes it fun.

It sort of feels like a naturally aspirated engine. Sort of, because it's not true.

This car has another fun thing: a differential lock between the front wheels.

It's a Torsen differential.

That means a little wheelspin on your inner front wheel, but it's limited.

There will always be power on the outer wheel, the with grip.

You can always accelerate in a corner. You're not smoking the inner front tire.

That's a fine recipe.

The fun thing is that on power you feel it pull to the inside line.

It feels a bit counterintuitive sometimes.

What if you lose grip? You accelerate and the front tightens the line. That's fun.

The looks. It can be recognized by the stickers. I think all are white and have these stickers.

There can be no doubt about what car you're dealing with.

You can also tell by the rims. They're nice BBS rims, but each is 1.5 kg lighter. That's nice.

The brakes are different too. It has bigger calipers.

The rear brake discs are bigger than those up front. The difference is only a few millimeters.

The front discs are ventilated, though.

It also has bigger calipers with 4 pistons for better brake power modulation.

I can affirm, because the brakes feel great. We're driving on mountain roads.

We're going downhill and brake hard. It doesn't matter. It's fine.

Kudos for the work done.

It can also be recognized by its big rear spoiler and the more aggressive front splitter.

The interior is stock Yaris. The seat is a bit high.

That's a shame, but it's not as high as I feared from a Yaris.

It has good bucket seats that offer good support.

They're taken from a Japanese Toyota model we don't have in Europe. The seats are great.

That's about it for the interior. The steering wheel comes from the GT86.

It says "GR". All cars have been sold to the connoisseurs, the real fans of the brand.

However, Toyota didn't give the freedom to...

"Those people know they're buying a performance model, so it doesn't need high safety margins."

No. Everything had to stay in one piece and be safe.

You'd expect a neutral car, understeering when you're going too fast.

That's not true. The rear is light.

I think engineers said they made it safe while winking at each other.

The rear does slide a bit when entering a corner fast. That's fun. It's easier to plant the car.

What else is there to say? The exhaust is a fun one.

I'll let Martijn film under the rear bumper.

The exhaust seems to go to the normal spot.

The muffler sits on the right, but a pipe turns to the middle to have the tip in the center. That's fun.

It sounds tame from the inside. It sounds good from the outside.

That's a shame. It's because there's been an event with pre-production models.

Journalists said it was too loud.

They were probably journalists with gray hair.

They were invited to look at a Yaris, not the performance version.

They spoiled the fun, although it doesn't sound bad.

It sounds feistier from the outside than it does on the inside.

I think it should make more noise inside the car. It would be fun for the experience.

It's one of the few flaws of a very fun car.

It's so much fun that cameraman Martijn, who's a Mégane RS fan, thinks this size is more fun.

This car found a place in his heart, as it did in mine.

I think it's a cool car. It's a shame that the Yaris GRMN is so expensive.

I hope Toyota will find a way to offer this brand a bit cheaper in Europe.

It'll be less feisty than this one, but you'll have a cool Yaris for 208 GTI money.

If I have to compare it to the Clio RS and 208 GTI and make a choice, it's going to be difficult.

I think I'd choose the 208 GTI, but that's because it looks better next to my 205 GTI.

This one is super good, though.

It's a compliment that Toyota is able to make me doubt.

If you can make a Yaris exciting, you know you're doing a good job.

First Look 2019 Toyota Avalon - Duration: 4:41.

Influencing its official presentation at the Detroit Auto Show, the all-new 2019 Toyota

Avalon uncovers edgier styling to oblige more premium highlights and substance that increase

current standards for the brand's full-measure sedan.

Sharing a broadened variety of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) stage of the

new Camry, a considerable measure of similar overhauls and styling subtleties we've seen

there have now advanced toward the Avalon.

Longer, lower and more extensive than some time recently, the outline turns out to be

more manly than before with a chunkier and more strong outline rather than the sleeker

look of the last age.

The facial highlights are more forceful in their demeanor, more nitty gritty and etched

in their shape.

The side profile acquires wrinkling and chiseling however as you move around to the back view

things change generously.

The fastly raked raise C-columns broaden facilitate into the back deck, picking up a masterful

flair in their shape and execution that is nearly origami work.

To state it's much more unpredictable to the eye before is putting it mildly.

For 2019, a brandishing XSE model will join the Avalon lineup to be accessible alongside

the Touring, XLE and Limited trim evaluations and the Avalon Hybrid will keep on being accessible

too.

Like the new Camry, each trim review will have particular styling treatments to give

more separation over the line than any other time in recent memory.

Inside the Avalon, the uptick in premium trappings is generally apparent.

Outline and subject is more similar to something you may anticipate from Lexus in the differentiation

of materials, chiseling and frame.

This is unmistakably not the same as some time recently, and lifted certainly.

Most eminent is the precarious vertically outlined focus reassure stack that differentiations

the wide clearing look of a year ago.

Materials are overhauled all through from the accessible veritable Yamaha wood trims

to the profoundly design etched entryway boards.

A feeling of craftsmanship is felt with these subtle elements notwithstanding higher quality

switchgear.

Seating materials extend from ultra-softened cowhide on Touring and XSE to SofTex reenacted

calfskin on XLE.

Restricted gets a decision of three cowhide upholstered subjects.

Another 9-inch touchscreen infotainment framework consolidates controls for the majority of

the sound, route, HVAC and framework controls yet holds hard switchgear for basic things

like volume and tuning and in addition most utilized atmosphere controls which is something

worth being thankful for.

Apple CarPlay is currently accessible as is Amazon Alexa yet Android Auto is as yet absent.

Controlling the 2019 Toyota Avalon are two choices beginning with the 3.5 liter V6, all

around kneaded from a year ago now with D-4S fuel infusion and another 8-speed automatic

transmission.

Last specs haven't been discharge however it should meet or surpass the 301 pull it

makes in the Camry.

Likewise accessible is the Hybrid with its 2.5-liter four-chamber Atkinson Cycle motor

and electric engines.

The framework keeps on utilizing a Nickel-Metal Hydride hitter yet it's currently situated

under the back seat for preferable bundling over some time recently, and permits crease

down back seats now.

Like the V6, last specs haven't been reported however power ought to be like the Camry Hybrid

at 208 torque and fuel-proficiency should see noteworthy change over the current Avalon

Hybrid.

New with the 2019 Avalon is obviously the high-include TNGA suspension which has enhanced

levels of taking care of and refinement as we found with the other Toyota models based

upon it.

In the Avalon will be an accessible versatile damping suspension that changes the solidness

of the dampers on the fly as you drive and in the matter of how you set its drive modes.

Regardless of how you see it, the bar has for sure been raised on the level of substance

and highlights.

Valuing hasn't yet been reported for the 2019 Toyota Avalon which will be worked in Georgetown,

KY and go at a bargain in the not so distant future.

Last determinations are required nearer to that time.
