I have done it like you said but, it didn't work that well. There are two things here 1. The slope is very steep 2. The snow is soft and deep, so tires find it difficult to get proper attachment to the surface of the snow.
Good! my tires were at 34 psi which was not recommended. i deflate em to 32 to factory recommendations. traction on snow was awesome! rav 4 2016 se storm blue
There are winter tires on this video. Problem is that the driveway is very steep. Moreover the snow was so deep the the car hang over the show with the body of the car.
Could go with a winter set of studded tires if you need to. It would make very short work of this hill in any awd with decent clearance. Lots of people around my area run them and love them.
Hi Dan. I did not write it in the video description but the tires I have here are 2021 Continentals. I will check their parameters and write up latter. Thanks for the comment! LK
Barry. You’re right. You should get one:). I love the car. Tires are 2021 continental. Brand new. But the snow here is very deep and soft. Thanks for the comment!:)
Yes it is AWD all the Wheels drive. Butt it is not 4x4 with high and low ratio and diff lock, the problem with te EV motor on the rear axle is, it is inpossible to reduce power it is always full power. ESP off is maybe better.
Did you use trail mode? I'm new user of the same model but I didn't have an occasion to test it in such conditions. I see that the driveway is very steep. You and your car manged it. Good job. No more snow-chains ;)
@@gietece :):) wyobraź sobie ze ta łopata co jest wbita w śnieg była wcześniej użyta do odśnieżenia CAŁOŚCI tego podjazdu. To jest odcinek Ok 50 m, szerokości ok 2 m a warstwa śniegu do odrzucenia miejscami sięgała 1 m. Troche mi to zajęło… Na filmie widać ze miejscami śnieg sięgał podwozia auta co IMO było powodem utraty przyczepności. Nie mam 3 filmu nagranego z akcji na gorze przy domku gdzie śniegu było tak dużo ze samochód się powiesił na podwoziu wisząc kołami swobodnie. Podsumowując Toyota jest super i napęd świetnie się sprawdza, ale nie jest to spychacz, wiec w grubszej warstwie śniegu po prostu grzęźnie. Dzięki za komentarz! Pozdr.
@@lukaszkutrzeba3244 Trailmode and ESP on. Without ESP braking individual wheels you loose almost all traction. In your situation the problem is not the all wheel drive or the tires it’s that the snow is so high that the car rides up on it. in snow like this you can stop any vehicle even a tank with tracks instead of wheels can be stopped when the snow gets too high
I think you did just fine with what you had. They are great vehicles however it is an Electric Motorized Rear Wheel drive. It is not a mechanical AWD. So you did just fine in that situation. People that criticize your driving do not understand. Plus they are Richard Craniums to boot. 😉
I do not hate but…Why oh why(!) most of these winter tests on the tube is with the wrong type of tyres? I would climb that hill with my wifes fwd Karoq just because of proper Nokian studded tires. And with my BMW 3-series X-drive i would fly up that hill. Not because its a better car. Just because 90% is about the tires.. This video is just a pain to watch and i feel sorry for that Toyota 😂
@@lukaszkutrzeba3244 you did perfect this is no forester i tested crv hand and hand with rav4 and the Subaru performed better in the snow even with worse tires it’s because everything is almost 50/50 split everything is well balanced even when braking
Thank you Qadir! I can't wait to go there this year and try all tis wonderful recommendations I got over the past few months. I will definitely shoot next movie to show everybody what the result was. Thanks again. Lukasz
@@JonathanRogler the crv has oil dilution issues till this day honda claims they fixed but did not and rav 4 has high wind noise and tranny issues also the engine sound like its 50 years old major complaint
In such cases, you have to: 1. Deactivate the traction control system. 2. Push the Trail button. 3. Give it gas and use momentum. It will amaze you ;)
I have done it like you said but, it didn't work that well. There are two things here 1. The slope is very steep 2. The snow is soft and deep, so tires find it difficult to get proper attachment to the surface of the snow.
For those of you who might be interested this a 2.5L gasoline-electric hybrid engine. It has winter tires on it.
Успели! Хорошая машина
Thanks for the comment:)!
I have 2020 LE and mud and sand seems to work best completely shuts off traction control and provides you with fully awd
I need to experiment this year again with this traction control off mode. I will shoot another clip and post it. :)
Oł jee he...dobra, wystarczy he. Dobry filmik.

Will try it next time too.
No matter what vehicle with a driver that doesn’t know how to drive in the snow will have hard time.
with winter tires, no matter what vehicle or/and transmission

@@juliochong7339 what would you recommend to do?
@@lukaszkutrzeba3244 nothing because it's not a Subaru get a Subaru for awd
@@lilpeppa117G I’d love to! I was strongly considering buying Subaru Outback, but unfortunately budget was not high enough to afford it. Next time:)
You did great ..... you're the best driver
O come on. Could have been better. I got few comments for the YT how I could have done better. I will check it next year and post it again :). Thx
Pulls up to house, gets out, pours a drink, calls boss, not coming in today.

Sure. Studded tires would make the work. Fully agree.
@@lukaszkutrzeba3244 It's a tough decision if you live in a place where the main roads are well maintained.
He cannot mount studded tires: they are illegal in Poland.
@@effemmelle Interesting, did not know that.
"must deliver the groceries to my house"

Looks like a top notch set of winter tires are why you are going nowhere.........love the RAVs though....probably gonna get one this fall myself.
Barry. You’re right. You should get one:). I love the car. Tires are 2021 continental. Brand new. But the snow here is very deep and soft. Thanks for the comment!:)
Winter tires?

Interesting. I didn’t think about it. Electric engine at the rear axis is indeed working with a full power
why not putting the "trail" mode on? That will do your little up hill here :)
Did you use trail mode? I'm new user of the same model but I didn't have an occasion to test it in such conditions. I see that the driveway is very steep. You and your car manged it. Good job. No more snow-chains ;)
Yes I did. It was trail mode and in some cases I turned ESP off
Na filmie tego nie widać ale nachylenie stoku jest 10-15 stopni. Zaspy są 0,5m.
A wylaczona kontrola trakcji i inne ograniczniki?
@@analyzer1986 ESP raz było włączone a raz wyłączone. Jak twoim zdaniem powinno być poprawnie? Będę wdzięczny za podpowiedź
Poprawnie to lopata w dlon ;)
Opcjonalnie (skoro sa zimowki) obnizenie cisnienia opon.
Fajny filmik, dzieki za info jak to dziala.

I read that Toyota has some updates for the ECU to improve their AWD system. Might want to check with Toyota in case this applies to you.
Thanks a lot. I will check with them.

Hey thanks for the nice comment.
Would it go better with traction control off?
ESP was off but later
No Winter tires
It wasn't possible to little run up the hill to create momentum?
It could maybe. But the slope was very steep, and in addition to that the snow was a bit deep too.
I have a tundra I'm trading in for the rav4 hybrid mpg is more important. I'll parking the street if I can have to lol
Yeah mpg in Rav4 is quite nice especially in the city. Now I have 5,3 L/100km. In the summer it was 4,5 L/100km
Czy te wycie elektryka na wstecznym to normalne
tak, to normalne. W czasie jazdy do przodu jest podobnie. Ale tylko kiedy silnik spalinowy jest wyłączony.
@@lkutrzeba dziękuję za odpowiedź bo u mnie tak samo jest tylko do przodu ciszej.pozdtawiam.

A FWD car would make ease of this «hill» with winter tires. Just shows how important correct tyres are
😊bad driver...the best rav 4 awd .
This is not classic AWD. The car is great indeed :)
So what would you recommend? What to do and what not? I will retry it next year and post it again. But tell me what should I do to do it right?

You don’t know how to drive on the snow. I have driven 2WD on such conditions smoothly. Rule #1 slow acceleration
Thank you Qadir! I can't wait to go there this year and try all tis wonderful recommendations I got over the past few months. I will definitely shoot next movie to show everybody what the result was. Thanks again. Lukasz
Hopefuly I'll be able to accelerate smoothly like you have said. It's not easy with an electric engine on the rear axis though.
Terrible Driver, our pet Hamster could drive straight up there, No problem.
Ok so how it should be done properly? What was wrong in the driving mode? ESP on esp off? Can you advise something?
Everybody knows rav4 and crv have inadequate awd systems time and time again only Subaru is best
Believe me I wanted to buy Subaru Outback. But it's 30% more expensive.
Best at breaking down too
@@JonathanRogler the crv has oil dilution issues till this day honda claims they fixed but did not and rav 4 has high wind noise and tranny issues also the engine sound like its 50 years old major complaint
Zero umiejętności.😢
Trudny stok, głęboki śnieg, ostry podjazd pod górę. Ale dzięki za komentarz.
Garbage awd system. A Subaru would walk right up .. Toyota has always had a pitiful awd system though. Nothing new
Yes. I regret I did not buy a Subaru🤨
Tires brand and size ?
Sorry for late reply. Here is the info: 225/60 R18 V XL Winter Contact Continental
