Everyman Driver How about the Mazda CX-9? It can compare to the suvs mentioned in this video yes it’s bigger and it has a V6
It looks nice. I would get one for my daughter. But the murano caught my eye as well.
I just sit on RUclips all day and look at different car reviews
From different subscribers
I really have an addiction 😐
Samee
i second that
haha
Me too!
And I still cant decide on a car....
People mocking about the Rav4 being 40k but not realising they wont be paying much in the future for maintenance.
Or gas.
And in 10 years get 20k for it.
@@benkse2010 everything loses value. Save up and buy what you want
The new RAV4 definitely looks better following the redesign.
Stop reviewing the upper level trims. Please review the base levels. $40k for that Rav4 is nonsense.
Stop telling me what to do.
@@everymandriver it would be nice though...
Base trim that’s funny. I hate cheap people.
Base trim is typically the poverty model. It’s like you’re buying a new car for the sake of it. Best thing to do is go middle of the road. Not everyone wants or needs all the amenities, but why be miserable scraping at the bottom?
I just bought the AWD, XLE Premium with cold weather package. $31,250 out the door and on the road.
how is your gas mileage?
Wow. That's an awesome price. I have seen them at least 34k-36k.
So? How is it holding?
I passed it over, I was planning on getting it but its too expensive for what it is, when loaded with decent options its almost the same price as luxury vehicles.
NIKKG, I agree. Price is too high with decent options.
Completely agree. Too expensive. Loud ride too.
Ok , load up a mercedes to the max and tell me how much that cost
I cant find a vehicle in it’s class for less that $35,000 or so well equipped. All depends on options you need or want. Plus, where will the resale be in 4-5 years.
It is SUPER dependable compared to other luxury cars. Or SUVs in genereal
I bought the hybrid LE (base trim) Rav4 3 weeks ago. It is a CUV that gets better gas mileage than the tiny subcompact that I was driving before, so that alone has impressed me. I haven't had to fill it up yet and I've been driving it daily (mostly in town). The base trim lacks a lot of the extras that people come to expect now like a push button start/smartkey, electronic adjusting seats, etc., but I wanted something practical, simple, and reliable and I believe that's what I got. I also paid under 30k out the door so I feel good about that, too.
For the Le don’t they start at like 25k? Meaning you probably shouldn’t have paid more than 23k or so
Amanda C oh sorry just saw hybrid.
Amanda C, I like buying basic too...but I just can't stomach riding around with hubcaps instead of alloy wheels...does the hybrid LE have alloys?
@@ofcbob6391 mine has alloy wheels
@@Ellehcareidnam good to know, thanks!
I really love the exterior...never in a million years anticipated saying that about a RAV4. Can totally see people who realize they don't need the actual capabilities of a 4Runner or just want something more practical being drawn to the Adventure trim.
CONS: 40K for a toyota compact SUV
loaded SUV versus what ?
One of the best resale values in the SUV intense market. Toyota usually has a higher resale value anyway. IDK for that much money, I probably would go for a Tacoma.
you need to get out more
CONS: seeing your post
Pros.... Toyota last a lifetime
Yep and try the hybrid $45 grand
The best 'Radio Voice' on RUclips. Great video, love the reviews. Keep them coming!
I was thinking the same thing, Great voice.
Dustin Becerril , ha I keep waiting to hear him call balls and strikes.
I completely agree with you on the Android auto nonsense, that's what's holding this car back from perfection
No, not just that. Toyota can't offer a freaking powered passenger seat. This infuriates me...
For competition, I do believe Subaru Forester needs to be in the picture, especially for off road capability.
Subaru crosstrek too
They should bring back the v6
I got my RAV4 in January and I love it! I got the XLE Premium in Lunar Rock with all the extra options and packages (JBL Audio, Technology pack, etc) for 30k! MSRP was 36k. The standard safety features really sold me on the RAV4. Some luxury cars don’t even have them standard! After having it for 6 months I only have grown to love it more! It’s great on gas and only needs the regular unleaded unlike the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 which require premium. The JBL Audio is amazing I’d definitely recommend it! I just took in it for an oil change with the 2 years of complementary maintenance! (Which Honda nor Mazda offer)
The Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 don’t require premium. Don’t know where you got that information from.
Good video. Got excited when I heard 33k but lost it when I heard the 40k sticker
Shld be cheaper now. Getting close to them having to pay taxes on it.
I just took delivery of my Hybrid Limited yesterday. Ordered it April 19th, so almost took two months. Got mine in Blueprint with ivory/nutmeg in interior. Loving it so far with a little less that 24 hours of ownership. Traded in my 2017 Kia Soul for it.
@N0 One454 I had considered the VW, but in Canada the fully loaded Tiguan costs more than the fully loaded hybrid Limited and the difference in gas mileage made it a no brainier for us.
@N0 One454 the Tiguan has won the 2019 compact SUV comparison test. The Toyota RAV4 is on the bottom half of the test.
Great job as always Dave.
Good review, i watch all your reviews. I really like the look of the Rav4 but i keep hearing about issues with the engine noise. Also its priced a bit high for what it is. That said how can you not mention Subaru? It seems like the Rav4 Adventure is Toyota's answer to those who are looking at Foresters.
The engine-note is VERY buzzy. Love my Forester, it's definitely quieter than the new Rav.
Idk that Subaru cvt b careful
Hi Dave,
Very nice review.
I’m sorry to hear about your camera 🎥
I like the new look
Hope Santa Fe wins as a contender of the year !
Me too, but not enough power. Needs a V6 version.
I was between a Rav Hybrid and a Forester. Ultimately went Forester and am pretty happy with it. The Hybrid wasn't out yet and I was ready to get out of my leased Legacy. I did get a Gas only Rav as a rental a few weeks after getting the Forester, and feel I made the right decision. The Forester rides better and is quieter, the interior doesn't feel as claustrophobic in the drivers seat, and Eyesight functions smoother than TSS. The Forester isn't perfect, it could have better real world observed fuel economy... but without a Hybrid system my drive just doesn't give a chance for the stated numbers; I wish the cup holders were position differently and that the storage cubbies were a little bigger. The thing sthat REALLY irked me with the Rav were the headrest positioning which felt too far forward and honestly the floor mounted accelerator felt uncomfortable to me.
Interesting. Currently own a '16 Outback. Find seat discomfort issues. Am considering Forester Sport or Rav4. The LE Rav4 & Hybrid are priced cheaper than Forester Sport.
@@80srockerable I found towards the end of my 16 Legacy lease the seats just weren't supportive enough for me, just from the lack of bolstering and an overall too wide build. The forester is narrower, and seems to have better bolstered seats, though I'm sure cloth seats vs the leather in my Legacy also makes a difference there.
My biggest gripes with the Rav really were the engine in the non-hybrid being unrefined, the gas pedal wasn't comfortable to me, and it felt cramped inside and at 5'8 I'm not that tall. The Climate control buttons are crappy, knobs were good but the buttons were too small with small labels that don't seem backlit. The Forester rides better in my opinion, and was quieter. Overall it just didn't feel like what I would expect a Toyota to feel like.
Some things to consider, if you have an android, you won't get Android Auto with the Toyota, if you have iPhone, Apple Carplay was one of the worst setup experiences I've had with Toyotas setup. That could be my own fault though really...
The issue with comparing the LE trims to the Sport, is feature content.. To get a real comparison, you're looking at anywhere from the XLE, XLE Premium, or Adventure trim to even come close to matching what either has... by the time you do that you're at the same price point if not more.
@@717dash_cam Good info. I have android & read comment somewhere on RUclips Toyota will offer dealer upgradable software soon to current models. I literally pulled my headrest out of my outback and turned it backwards. The seats look small in Forester but seemed reasonably comfortable in the few minutes I sat in an unlocked one on dealer lot. I think some comfort is added by being a little more off floor than my OB. I don't like hubcaps on Toyota LE. But hybrid LE gets alloy. Tests I've watched say the hybrid feels much more responsive than gas version. Some difference also with eCVT tranny in hybrid. I really am not a sunroof fan & wish could delete that in Forester sport. I never use and take head room. I guess I'll have to drive both. The Adventure trims kinda pricey fo a Rav4 + mpg dive.
@@80srockerable I agree the Adventure trim is pricey, especially considering the MPG Sacrifice. As for the sunroof, the Forester you still at least have headroom... I felt like headroom suffered with the XLE Rav I was in; I also found the headrest pointing too far forward for my comfort in it. I keep my sunshade closed most of the time in my Sport, and was disappointed to learn it doesn't vent, which was my favorite thing about having a sunroof in the summer.
I've done 3 hour road trips in the Forester and the seats stayed comfortable enough. Personally, if I have an AWD vehicle, I want real AWD... not just a battery powered traction assist system. I'll pay the MPG penalty to know that if I am ever in need in the winter, I won't run out of battery charge for the rear drive-line. Actually I made the same drive with my Forester that I did the Rav in the last 2 months, since Enterprise didn't have anything for the Tuesday pickup we needed at work. The Rav, hands down has the fuel mileage in the Forester beat... But I didn't care for Toyota Safety Sense's Adaptive Cruise, Lane Keep Assist, or Lane Departure warnings... they all seemed hyperactive and more annoying compared to Eyesight.
Overall I think I made the right choice for me, wish I would have waited a little longer to not get screwed on the Legacy, but I didn't want to put tires or brakes on it for state inspection.
@@717dash_cam Good info. Ya, I've read about mushy throttle response in Rav4, but Hybrid spose to be better & more horsepower. Good to know about seat comfort as it seems the 100 mile drives where it begins to irritate me, 3 hours for sure would notice. It it wasn't for seat posture I would just keep OB. It does everything else great. Some people complain how jerky Subaru throttle pedal mapping is but I like it aggressive. Good points on awd. That's part of what makes Subaru so secure on slick roads. Although I think toyota & honda have adjusted their systems to be less latent at engagement. And may be reason for some of the AWD mode switches.
We just test-drove a Rav 4 hybrid....disappointed in the way it handles....very imprecise and wallows in corners....I was surprised by how they engineered this area of the car. We drive a 4th generation Prius and a Sienna SE....much better handling cars. Thanks.
Had a good test drive in a RAV4, suited me nicely, not too sporty and or soft, found the steering very light but accurate, don't use phone apps in car, so don't care about phone support. The fuel economy spot on to ratings, which was on a mix of driving, mostly outside town, but slower winding roads, never floored it, so never got to experience the whine of the engine.
One thing I will say though, is if you don't need the aggressive off road abilities, or towing capacity, I think the biggest challenger to the Gas RAV4, is the hybrid RAV4. For not much more money, potentially much better mileage, this is only in my circumstances, but if drove how normally do, on roads usually on, much better mileage than a gas version, with electric push from rear, which would cover most circumstances I need 4x4 for.
Wow. You don't need apple carplay or google. That's the selling point of vehicles. That's right. Reliability and durability used to be first. But now it is apple carplay and google. It seems you don't really have a vehicle if you don't have it. I guess you haven't bought into it. Good for you.
Had narrowed my new car purchase to the Rav4 and the Subaru Outback. Outback was less expensive, quieter had the same power and the eyesite system was impressive. Found the Outback to be more comfortable for me. So now after 3000 miles, I'm still pleased with the Outback. A Rav4 with 4WD is at least 2 to 3 thousand more expensive.
What kind of gas mileage overall are you getting..and is that a standard 4 cylinder?
@@ofcbob6391 Country driving, if I keep it around 50mph I'm getting almost 35 mpg. At 75 on the freeway getting about 30 mpg. This is the 2.5i NA engine. No idea what the Rav4 gets in real world driving.
40K WOW..why not just get a nicer Highlander instead.
That’s 60k fully loaded.
Get a Highlander LE Plus.
Ivan Vojt if I did I would want leather seats, a hybrid, and a panoramic sunroof
@@JJustinXu How much are you willing to pay?
Ivan Vojt 40k o bought my RAV4 for 38k. Love it. I know it’s gonna be reliable and it’s gonna have the best resale value. It is spring to buy a car that will fast forever.
I wish I would’ve gone with the two tone variation. Went with all black in the adventure and probably going to have it painted...Great video.
any problems with your adventure? I am hearing problems with transmission.
I'm getting kind of tired of reviewers listing CVT's as a negative. Honestly, who cares what they sound like? They allow the engine to run at its peak efficiency and power, and that should be the end of the story. Also getting tired of automakers trying to make their CVT's behave like geared automatics. Just let the CVT act like a CVT!
I like it, but agree with you with respect to the rugged design and lack of android auto. When I questioned the model at the Phoenix Auto Show about no Android auto, she said Toyota wants to focus on safety instead. I thought that was a lame response. By not having Android auto, they will be losing customers.
Let's not forget, the *40 mpg!!!* Hybrid also has the most system horsepower (and AWD!)
I'm getting 29 mpg, in my hybrid.
Davey Wayvey You have a 2019? Why do you think your mpg is so low?
@@GregorBlacksmith I tend to drive pretty hard but even on the hwy when I let the car drive, it seems to only get about 30mpg. Not sure why. It's a step up from my previous 2017 RAV4 hybrid.
@@Sssssito Wait a minute. The gas engine version touts 30 mpg combined. What is up with that??
@@Sssssito sounds like something is an issue if you're still getting these low numbers. I have a '19 LE hybrid and live in an area with alot of up/down driving due to hills and mountains, and still averaging 41/43 mpg combined.
Great video ! Commenting to the RUclips algorithms 🤙
I tried Rav4 LE (base) today... PRICE $35,000 + is HUGE! I'm keeping my lexus RX330 which I got for $6K.
I have the 21 RAV4 let it was only for 26,000
As I have to wear suits in my day-to-day job, I love that Toyota offers ventilated/cooled seats on their top RAV4 trims. In the past, this was a feature typically reserved for flagship models such as the Avalon, Land Cruiser, etc. Yes 40K is a little pricey for a SUV/CUV, but worth every penny once you factor all of the features IMO. Let’s not forget that the top trims for Honda CR-V (Touring), Mazda CX-5 (Signature) and Nissan Rogue (SL) all cost over $40K, as well. I am replacing my 2011 RAV4 Limited that I bought new for $33K. It has 455,000 km on it so I’m hoping to get another half a million km on my new RAV4 Trail edition.
Yeah 40K was pricey but that's fully loaded with all the gadgets. I didn't think the seats would be that big of a deal but damn if they're not comfortable. I like the silly orange accents too. It's just a nice place to be. Got caught in a traffic jam crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge a few weeks back. Had the wife and my mom with me and we were all just chillin', enjoying the view of the bay.
I got the 2019 LE AWD for 23k I love it
Interesting point.
Super cool looking car and love the versatility. But lack of v6 and the exorbitant price would keep me from buying it. Plus side is that its probably going to last forever.
I have a 21 RAV4 LE it does really well for Uber n Lyft
I just bought the hybrid-in blizzard pearl in the limited trim with awd (needed in Pittsburgh) and I actually thinks its amazing. The main reason I opted hybrid is because it is actually more powerful than the gas only version in terms of total system output, and Toyota kept the same size gas tank in both versions, so I can go over a month without a full up.
Please test drive a hybrid!!!! It’s so much better faster and such shocking numbers for mpg!!’
NOPE ...three letters...c v t
ecvt= the reliable transmission 👍
40k for a 4 banger? Ha!
Even at fully equipped it’s $35,050. ......
Ridiculous.. I can buy a limited Grand Cherokee for just a couple thou more.
Trespasser That limited Cherokee will get you 15-20 mpg at best while this gets you 36-40.
Jeep is also isn’t as reliable.
A volvo is around 90k and its a 4 banger...
Great Review 👍
Good review! Wow, look at those 1/4 inch skid plates on the front and rear! It should be an off-roading beast with its locking diffs and low-range gears.
HereIgoAgain all I can say is WHAT!!!
4 cylinder engine 😂
Test drove the hybrid along with the CR-V, CX5, and Rogue. The interior layout for driver and front passenger were the best of the bunch. However, driver position wasn’t good for tall or short people. At 6’3” putting the seat as low as possible I was still looking through the top of the windshield. My daughter who was buying a vehicle and is 5’0” couldn’t get a comfortable seating position. She was perfect for the Rogue and CR-V. I feel this car is built for the 5’9” driver. I also didn’t like the “whistle/whine” on the hybrid that sounded like a police siren at a distance with each acceleration. The first two times we were looking around for an emergency vehicle then realized it was our engine. Was sort of weird and slightly annoying.
40K+ for a compact SUV. 😂😂😂
hardly anything to laugh at. got to wonder what madness has gotten into car manufacturers
My truck costed less than that lol and it is a 4 cyl turbo-diesel
welcome to the new age
I love where your reviews take place 👍
If this is how you make your living, you should have the camera insured. Deductible business expense. The cost of doing business.
You failed to mention how loud and coarse the engine sounds in the RAV4. It’s actually shocking. I’m getting the CX-5 Signature trim.
The engine is loud and coarse. It's actually shocking :-)
It’s actually not shocking...you didn’t even test drive a hybrid. It’s not even loud.
Justin Xu I was talking about the regular RAV4 and it is shocking that Toyota would release a car that sounds like this.
@@treads2595 yep.. It is compared to previous gen
Why not report on the Hybrid RAV4?? Disappointed...... as others have mentioned Hybrid a better vehicle as I’ve test drove both and waiting on a hybrid.
CRV has issues and IMO CX-5 too small inside. I’ve test driven those as well.
Dave, if the wind blew over the camera and tripod then you need a better tripod. Get a professional grade Manfrotto or something similar.
I actually like the Body Styling of it, and that Blue and White color. I'm interested in A-If the second row is put down can an adult male sleep in it if they want to car camp or something. And B-Can you see how good the adventure trim is off road?
The thing i didn't like the steering wheel is not centered more leg room at door to wheel then wheel to center console not good for bigger drivers
Somehow, I don't like anything about this car except perhaps that it's a Toyota,. I find it lacking in interior room, and the oversize center console does not help. And the materials used on the interior, especially the leather...Well, I would like a little more for the money. It does not even have door sill protectors and a hood liner. Toyota designs keep disappointing.
40k= ridiculous
I drove the Rav4, CRV and CX5 and the Rav was by far the worst driving of the bunch. So much road noise that it was beyond distracting, the engine sound resonated through the cabin and the suspension was wound way too tight. YMMV of course but to me, the CX5 was much more engaging to drive.
The rav4 was totally ruined when they took the 3.5 V6 away
But who would buy the Lexus counter part if you could get a limited v6 rav4 for $20.000 less
Oh yeah took the V8 away from the 4runner took the 4.0 from the Tacoma
All way under powered now
Excepting the hybrid version, I can’t get over how overpriced the RAV4 feels. Also, I vastly preferred the interior on the CRV when I test drove both back to back.
Love your reviews but my beef with all these Car video reviews on your channel and plenty of others, is that they all review the top models! Not everyone can buy the top trims. It would be nice to see reviews on base models
Calling this an off road beast is hilarious. While it may be better than many small SUVs, this is not off road worthy. Soft road maybe.
No Android auto.... Well off the list of possible replacements for the wife's current Camry (which does not have it but it is a 2013 and it is a feature she wants in her new car) guess Subaru is looking better and better.
Good looking toyota
Interestingly no one talks about how uncomfortable this car is for tall people to drive. I'm 6'1 and had to pass on this car. The console panel is way to wide, digs right into your knee making it painful and difficult to keep your foot on the gas pedal. If you just as tall as I am, don't buy this car, you'll regret it. It's not built for tall people, I don't know who they build it for.
Best opening ever!! I love this adventure trim but I just don't get the orange interior. It seems so low class. It brings down the entire look of the car.
I am 5'5" (170cm ) and cannot find a comfortable position in the new RAV4. BTW: I live in Japan where a lot of men are around my height. The steering wheel adjustment is limited as well.
fu;nny this guy NEVER once mentioned the horrible groaning noises in the trans at speeds around 20mph. Also THE worst thing about the trans is the VERY PRONOUNCED jerking when rolling to a stop and reaccelerating. Toyota will not address the issue. i will NEVER buy another toyota.
Yeah, I'm not dropping 40K on this lol
I think the RAV4 is awesome nice review. Maybe you can have a everyman driver t-shirt hoodie store on ur youtube channel?
I just don’t understand why the ICE RAV4 does not have signature lighting. So puzzling!
I will never understand how people could buy a 50k SUV, and be completely terrified of speed bumps.
it does look nice on the outside. Thank goodness the bulk of that design was taken from the Tuscon exterior, which had been out since 2016 but is a very nice design as well
I got camry it got same engine and trans I hope they got different tougher suspension if so it's a great car. My 2019 camry does not handle pot holes as good as my old one did unfortunate old one had over 300k till i broke it lol. Besides that nice engine 8 speed trans strong but no race car it's Toyota
This isn’t an SUV my guy, this is a CUV!
Erik Gildemeister
It’s a Camry in disguise. Let’s be honest.
Man, I picked a bad year to start binging videos looking for a replacement car
Great review as always. I love Rav4's but now Toyota makes them smaller compared to the previous generation. The rear hatch is now slanted and that takes away precious cargo space...yes...it looks like it's Lexus brother suv but most people buying this car are looking for the versatility of a small suv and every square inch of cargo space counts...needless to say buying Toyota's products gives buyers extra piece of mind because of the expected reliability
You didn’t show if it comes with a tire or not.
There are Cons with Toyota ?
Did I hear him say 40 grand? WOW! My 18 RAV4 XLE Hybrid was so much cheaper new than this vehicle. I love my 18 and for the price differential, I am a happy camper. For 40 grand you are getting into vehicles that are bigger, more powerful and more luxurious like the new KIA Telluride. Remember there are still delivery and taxes to be added to that 40 grand. I'll pass.
Color combo reminds me of an fj cruiser
40k easy pass

Hard pass. 👎🏼
Looks like they finally put out a TSB fix for the lurching trans problem...hopefully it fixes it. Dealers are cutting good deals now on the 19's.
40k OMG. Think I could find a better ride for less.
That's for the Adventure trim (highest trim)
But 90% of buyers will be paying $30-$33k for it's middle trim rather than top.
I like it. Was that shirt a conscious choice?
go read some consumer reviews for this rav before buying
A lot of transmission problems in the forums!
Im have the xle and the trams make some noise when shifting down , does most of the time , the dealer told me there are nothing wrong , but that noise I don't like it. Sound like clack , clack no all the time but still no make me feel comfortable.
@@lapro5856 that trans in the Camry is the same. Jerks in lower gears, is loud, and never seams to know what gear to be in.
Yeah I read about people having problems with it.
Hey can anyone tell me why with some of these SUV's the fog lights sit so high now? They're almost the height of headlights when most fog lights sits lower. Is there any advantage with the higher set up?
I used to own an '85 Toyota Celica GT-S. A hyped up version on the Celica in terms of ride and handling. Is this RAV-4 a hyped up version of the RAV-4 I've been looking for?
I rather purchase a fully loaded RAV4 for $40k than purchasing a luxury SUV of the same size with the same options for $55k. Makes sense to me!!!!
At $40k just get yourself a 4runner. Gas mileage isn't as good but your get a lot more vehicle for your money.
This didn’t age well. Mileage has become a problem. Precisely why I’m trading mine for the RAV. 10 more mpg.
@@jojovcpb3736 If you're worried about gas mileage, I'd go all electric at this point. Why even mess with gas, oil, etc. No leaks. I don't have a car payment so it'd be foolish for me to go into debt to save 10 mpg. Good luck.
Too expensive. I will buy something used with low miles for half the cost.
A used Rav4 or Highlander will cost almost the same as a newer one
@@grizzlyman329 No way lol. A used Rav4 does not cost 40k. Trust me I've looked everywhere.
Just use your emergency fund to get another camera then replenish it asap
Over 40k for a rav4 ??? Base Acura RDX for less $$$ all day long
That's for a fully loaded Rav4 versus a bare bones RDX? No thanks. The RAV4 doesn't START at over $40k.
So brass tacks here: how do you like the Birkenstocks?
The question is, he drive in this or he put them off.
In europe recently entered crv hybrid. And it has Apple car play. European version of rav4 doen’t have it yet.
Why don’t European RAV4s have the option of Apple CarPlay & Android Auto yet
Toyota informed that it will be added soon.
Fun Fact 2019 was one of the worst years for this car.

Where are you? Those backgrounds (pine trees) are beautiful.

I see many of these new RAV4s on the road than the competition. Just today I saw 3 with new dealer plates. I didn’t see a Subaru at all. At the end of the day it will sell like hot cakes, just like the previous generations. Consumers want a solid and durable vehicle and Toyota has that reputation.
" I didn’t see a Subaru at all". Wow. And your mommy lets you use her PC any time you want? What an azzklown….
Eskie Man You make no sense. Just another hater who is unhappy with his life. Don’t have time for people like you. Bye
This should have the 3.5 V6 with 301hp. The bassi 2.5 4cyl is hopeless case and noisy, should be a base option. Bring back the V6 Toyota!!
Is this a Toyota RAV4 or a Jeep Cherokee, Patriot, Escape, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazada Cx-5, Nissan Rogue or the BMW X3? I really can not tell the difference!
B B it’s actually not that difficult to differentiate the above. Perhaps a trip to the eye doc may be beneficial for you?
About the tripod in windy conditions, try putting weights on the legs.
40k for a RAV4 . Ouch .
what about brake clicks , does it sound awful?
Sorry about your camera. $40K for the RAV4? Is that the price of admission? Can you get a safe and decent R4 for $30K?
Love Toyota and I am sure this product will last as good as any Toyota products. Having said that, this is not a true off-road vehicle and I just do not like this boxy look. Not liking that new Highlander look either. For the long haul, looks matter.
Maybe the 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx.260 hp turbo engine and priced close to the Rav4 in this test
good review Dave; I like the angry grill look, and the overall look - but don't like that baby blue too much. looks like a chick car :) . BTW - the older camera is fine. 4K is overrated.
This chick hated that "Walmart" blue. Bought silver and not really happy with it. Loved the blue I had with my 2017 Camry.
