    Why auto manufacturers still put chrome on cars amazes me. For one it isn't chrome, it is silver painted plastic. For all the cool colors and durable polymers out there, let's have our cars look like they were made in 2024, not 1980.
    Great video, my wife is picking up her RAV4 hopefully tomorrow, these are great gift ideas!

      @@JSBowling2011 have you considered the hybrid? When the temperature is not too cold, I can get up to 50MPG on the 2022 RAV4 hybrid. Even on the highway I have been able to get over 50 miles per gallon. Obviously light foot and I don’t speed on it, or ever drive faster than the speed limit, but even when I have 5 people with me, I still get over 45mpg highway speeds. It leads me to believe (as well as other people’s testimonies) that RAV4 hybrids really do give you a better than advertised mpg. I have over 20,000 miles on my 22 RAV4 hybrid and I can count with my hands the amount of times that I had less than 40 mpg.

    A few mods you should look into, That i did, Sequential turn signals on the mirrors, way brighter, Baja designs fog light kit, way brighter fog lights, Brake lights that replace rear reflectors. Requires wiring tho. LAsfit turn signals front and back, ten times brighter. Hella horns to replace the horrible stock horn. I also did a separate set of wheels with snow tires for winter, cause stock tires suck. I also did hood mounted lights i use as my high beams, LPadventure has the hood brackets for like 60 bucks.

    Nicole,
    Super sleek and sexy RAV4 with all your changes. Nice job. Maybe adding an Orion Car Emergency kit for added safety. Walmart sells them for under $40. Also, a DC to AC inverter that plugs into the lighter. Ugh! Who uses a cigarette lighter anymore? The old ashtrays are gone too. My dashboard pockets (2) are non-functional as anything stored in them fly out when I punch the pedal at a light. Hybrids are great for fast acceleration. You know that too.

    I like what you've done. There are a couple of other cool upgrades available that I added to mine. Toyota offers a combination safe for the center console. It's OEM so it slides directly inside. You simply remove 2 screws from the bottom of the console and reinstall them through the base of the safe. The downside is that you lose the storage shelves that come standard. On the upside... it's good to have when you don't want to carry your valuables (or a small handgun) with you into a store, on a hike, etc. It can't be removed without opening it first and it's made of steel, so it would be very hard to break into. The second is a replacement trim for the rear view mirror. It has a built in camera. It's from a third party manufacturer but it fits perfectly. You slide the original trim off and slide the new trim on. The camera cable plugs directly into the spot where the mirror normally plugs into. Everything associated with the smart window still works perfectly. It has a storage capacity of up to 128 GB via microSD and connects to your phone via Bluetooth so you can download video directly if needed. Both the camera and App have a button for still photos as well.
