r/ToyotaRAV4

Bought the car used about 6 months ago with 15k miles on it.

It is 4 mph slower than actual speed no matter what speed I'm going. The dealership said some of these cars have that issue and there's nothing they can do to calibrate the speedometer. It's CPO until 115k miles bumper to bumper.

I've verified this against google maps, waze, and actual radar gun, speed readers, etc. I'd like to get it fixed as it's kind of annoying. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this issue?

As the title says, I'm looking for a replacement stereo unit for my fiancees new (to her) Rav4. I'm going to try and sneakily install it overnight while she sleeps as a birthday present. I'm not super concerned with installing a rear camera or having the steering wheel controls work - mainly just the touchscreen, bluetooth, maybe calling enabled if that's available.

Do you have any recommendations on the unit? There are a lot of options and I'm not well versed in which ones are reliable, or what extra parts I might need. Thanks!

So per Toyota rav4 configurations, you can see that all the trims have a tow rating of 3500 lbs, except for the base LE which is only rated for 1750 lbs. I tried to search to see what is the reason for this. Aside from calling the dealer (which I doubt will have a real answer), does anyone know why all other trims would have almost double the tow rating? Is there any structural difference in the frames?

This is for Rav4 configurations on the toyota.ca website for Ontario.

I stumbled upon seeing a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium w/ 1285 miles did not get depreciated even after all these years, of course the mileage is lower, but look at the original sticker price. Could this be true and a car hold its price steadily all these years? I know RAV4 and HRV hybrid AWD cars are hot in current market for their coveted reliability, but this is insane and keeps me thinking why should I be looking for cars from makers when I only care about fuel efficiency and reliability for long term. Thoughts are welcome.

My 2015 Toyota Rav4 had an issue with a shaky hood that seemed loose. Last week it flipped open on its own while on the highway. Slammed onto windshield cracking it and denting roof. Hood hinges are now destroyed. Sun roof will not close entirely now. Could this be a recall? Took to a body shop and they said these Toyota have a weak hood latch and that it moves in time to the side where the hook did not latch to the loop causing a strong wind-gust to flip it open. Anyone else experience this on Rav4 or Any other Toyota ? Need to
know as I would possibly like to create a class action.

How can I view the engine temperature and RPM on the XSE PHEV when using HV mode?

2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD. I hit something on the highway and popped this plastic piece off. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of the part and the best place to purchase it with the clips. I’m trying not to have it replaced at the Toyota dealership if at all possible 🥴 thank you!

Just got this car and going through all the things. Did a software update via USB and replaced the steering wheel, the original messed up by hand sanitizer I am told. To replace steering wheel I disconnected the battery. When I reconnected, the yellow sway lines that move with the steering while in reverse were gone. Did the steering wheel lock to lock reset in park, in reverse, no luck. Accessed the service menu while vehicle was running, no camera option. Not entirely sure the lines were there before I disconnected the battery. Should I have the yellow sway lines? If so, what is up with this menu?
