u/Slow_Objective_5802

I've settled on a rav4 adventure to replace my honda civic (180,000 miles). I'm going between the 2018 and a 2022 -2024. Main reason is that I would like to use it to tow a small camper along with other camping gear. I plan on taking it up dirt road, fire tower roads, but nothing crazy beyond that.

I'm hoping for some lived experience from the group on whether purchasing the newer version is worth the price increase for the upgraded awd system, layout and overall drive quality.

Also, I do all of my own maintenance for the most part and from my understanding the gen 4 is easier to work on?

If there's anything else to consider between the two that you weren't aware of until after purchase, I'm all ears as well!
