My drives took me around the Washington DC metropolitan area, driving on I-495, up I-95, and all the way to New York, where I was able to stop by a family dealership, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverheadtoyota.com\/\" title=\"\">Riverhead Toyota<\/a>. The Riverhead dealership is my cousin-in-law&#8217;s family dealership, where they sell a ton of Toyotas in the eastern part of New York off Long Island. My trip there was exciting, and I got to talk to my uncle about how he acquired the dealership in 1990 and his fantastic stories of selling Toyotas on Long Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-678x509.jpg 678w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0921-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My drive also took me to Brooklyn on my way back, where I was able to meet a friend who owns a Lexus and celebrate her birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250128_1204080-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Toyota Tacoma is more than capable.
