You know, I try to find something positive in almost everything that’s new or a new experience. But OMG the new rav4 is not growing on me. The previous generation looked decent - despite the cheap materials Toyota used in its highest trim to base trims.
Does anyone feel the same way? Why or why not?
is there anything laughable about my rav4?
i live in a college town and multiple times ive seen college students look, point, and giggle to themselves when they see my car. i personally dont think theres anything silly looking about it? is it because i didnt get a 4runner instead?!
ive installed ditch lights, a prinsu rack, and lights on the rack, no lift, just a hybrid woodland 2025.
does it look goofy to you? what can i fix?
[i actually use my rack (pictured in third photo), definitely drops the rear end with all the weight though]
Currently in the market for a RAV4, Limited , ideally in black. We visited a bigger dealership and the salesperson told us for the limited trim it would be less of a wait, around 2 months, 3 at most. However 2 other dealerships we visited said it would be 6-8 months (to note, those were smaller dealerships). At one of those smaller dealerships the salesperson mentioned he used to work at a dealership that their practice was to overpromise and say 2-3 months when in reality it was longer and they prioritized fulfillment for clients that took more expensive add-ons.
Just looking for any recent experience of anyone who has purchased a RAV4 in the Limited Trim in Ontario. Not sure if to trust the 2-3 months or should we be expecting a longer wait.
I reset my MPG every time I fill up, best trip so far!

Hi,
i bought this phone holder just on sight , but basically... It's sh*t. But i don't see good options myself so I thought, Reddit must have solved this already.
Any tips?
Tnx!
Hi I think I found a decent deal considering v6 rav4 are almost impossible to find.
It’s only had 1 owner with 119k miles, 1 small accident, clean title and looks like in good condition. The dealer is asking 10k which honestly doesn’t seem bad considering how crazy car prices are. Going to buy the carfax report today to see the entire history but the Experian AutoCheck Report looks like it was regularly maintained.
Is there anything I should look for / concerns I should check out?
Here’s a list of problems I know about, anything else I’m missing?
- VVT-i Rubber Oil Line
- Water Pump Failure
- Ignition Coils & Misfires(over 100k)
This would be a beater for my fiancé to drive back and forth from work. Putting around 250-300 miles a week on it. I’ve seen so many with way over 200k so I’m confident it will be fine.
Please leave comments on your experience if you own a 2011 or 2012 rav4 v6
I just swapped out my stock halogen bulbs for these new amber fog lights. I just bought this car last week and this was the first thing I did. How does it look? I've included a picture of what it looked like before for comparison.
I put down a deposit for a Canada-built RAV4 Limited and got an allocation with a Sept 24 build date and estimated delivery between Sept 25–Oct 10. I live in the Midwest.
My dealer still has no update and says even the build status hasn’t updated. However, SmartPath shows my car as “Sales Pending” and “In Transit.”
How long did it actually take for your RAV4 to arrive after the build date? Should I just wait, or is there anything else I can do to get an ETA?
