“Baywatch” is getting a ride from Toyota. The vehicle is partnering with the new show with season-long integration and placement into the FOX Entertainment’s show. Toyota is the first advertising partner to join the highly anticipated production of the reimagined series that is expected to premiere on FOX during the 2026-27 season.
The series will showcase the Toyota Tacoma as the official Baywatch lifeguard vehicle which will be fully customized to authentically reflect the LA County lifeguard vehicles. Toyota vehicles already support lifeguards on many beaches every day, helping crews patrol the shoreline and respond quickly when it matters most. Additionally, characters will be seen in a variety of Toyota models as their personal vehicles throughout the season.
