ABOUT
About Us
An independent site for people who drive, fix and travel in Toyotas.
OUR STORY
From a field blog to an owner’s site
01
The expeditions, 2009 to 2013
This domain began as the blog of the Toyota Enviro Outreach, conservation expeditions in South Africa. The posts told the trips as they happened.
02
The years after
Later the site carried general Toyota articles. We are rewriting them with sources in our own voice, and anything that does not fit has been retired.
03
Today
An independent site for Toyota owners: trip stories, maintenance guides and sourced explainers, plus clearly labelled guest posts.
OUR RULES FOR TOYOTA CONTENT
What you can expect from us
HOW WE WRITE
About Toyota, never as Toyota
- “Owners say…” and plain first-hand accounts
- “Toyota announced…” with a link to the source
- Sourced, plain-language explanations
- Our own logo, colours and photos
WHAT WE NEVER DO
Speak for Toyota
- Use the Toyota logo, emblem or official photos
- Say “our vehicles” or “our partnership”
- Copy Toyota’s red brand look
- Claim programmes, grants or charity work without a linked source
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
Four promises
The same rules apply to our own posts and to every guest post.
1
Sources beside the claim
Anything we say about Toyota, its models or its programmes links to a public source.
2
No official Toyota assets
No Toyota logo, emblem, wordmark or official photos on this site.
3
Guest posts are labelled and edited
Each one carries a “Guest post” label and an author box, and is edited for accuracy first.
4
Mistakes get fixed
If you spot an error, tell us through the Contact page and include a source if you can.
WHO RUNS THIS SITE
Run independently
toyotaoutreach.com is run independently. It is not run by Toyota, and nothing here speaks for Toyota.
Toyota is a trademark of its owner. We use the name only to say what the site is about.
DISCLOSURE
Links to our manual stores
Some owner guides link to Toyota workshop manuals sold on sites we run. These are the sites:
