    Hello all,

    Sorry if this has been addressed in other threads, but I wanted to know if the standard Toyota warranty provides for roadside assistance. We opted out of all warranty 'upgrades' at the time of purchase for a couple reasons. 1) Didn't think we really needed the extended warranty as we will likely trade the vehicle within three years, and 2) We always have the option of adding a factory extended warrantly later, provided the original warranty remains in effect.

    Do we need AAA coverage or does Toyota offer a roadside assistace program with new vehicles?

    They used to, but discontinued the service starting in '06. from your profile, it looks like you have an '06, so there wouldn't be roadside assistance with your car.

    We bought the car in Florida and had NO options included, other than the package 3 upgrades. We didn't even buy floor mats. I guess I'll be getting AAA coverage. Thanks for the help!
