    Im shocked with the space! Seems very spacious! I love Toyotas! I had the 04 Sequoia till around 2012 and loved it! Great car! I love my 4Runner too and I am going to do a review over it soon (thanks to you lol)! One question tho, we have the exact same dashcam set up, but mine makes this weird rattling noise, do you know how to fix it?

      Yeah this car has an amazing amount of space for being a small/midsize SUV. My dashcam occasionally makes the rattling noise, especially on roads that need repaving. It's a flaw with the area where the ball mount gets screwed into the windshield mount (if that makes sense). I try and make the camera as tight as possible where it attaches to the ball mount (on top of the camera, where that little part slides in) and I screw the ball mount into the windshield mount as tightly as possible. It alleviates most of the issue, but not all of it.

    Thanks for the review, I’m debating on purchasing this year/same color.

      DJjerry Chavez if you can find one with less than like 110,000 miles it’s worth it. More miles + being 12 years old will require some work, but still much better than average reliability

    Nice Rav4! I love ours!! It's a 16' Rav4 XLE nicknamed "Stormtrooper" because the front looks like a Storm Trooper from Star Wars

    2.4 liter might be the biggest 4-cylinder. If not, it’s close to it. I drive a 2007 Scion tC(made by Toyota - their engines are very reliable). It’s a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder. That’s plenty of power for a car that light.

      Bill Braskey Toyota made a 2.5l 4cyl shortly after this model. I’ve heard of a few other 2.5s but they are rare

    • @billbrasky1288
      @billbrasky1288 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Clueless Drivers of Maryland ok. I know the 07 tC borrowed the engine from the Camry. I guess Toyota just produces a bunch of the same engine and uses it in as many models as they can.

    I'm thinking about buying one strictly as a snowmobile. Have you had a chance to drive it in the snow? I know you don't get much in South Carolina but Maryland gets socked every now and then.

      Martin Smith I’ve driven it in about 6 inches of snow, as well as many other storms that dropped a little bit less. I have never slid or had my wheels spin out of a stop once in snow, even on inclines. I also do a lot of off reading in this car. The 4WD has gotten me out of mud when I had sunk up to the chassis. I have driven in deep sand on the outer banks beaches and only gotten stuck once - that’s because I didn’t have good enough tires though. The difference between my generation RAV4 and most other crossovers is that the 4WD is legit 4WD with a locking rear axle, not AWD which can apply torque differently. 4WD works better for more extreme conditions versus the AWD that soccer moms have for comfort if it snows a half an inch. But you still need good all season or all terrain tires for it to really be effective

      lol ever since they resigned Flacco the team has fallen apart. He was great in that Superbowl run but it was our defense and players like Boldin, Jacoby Jones and Ray Rice who won that for us. I think if we'd had a QB like Brees or someone we could have won at least two more Superbowls in the past 8 years. Resigning Flacco was a horrible decision and Mark Trestman needs to be fired immediately (more like three weeks ago).

      Clueless Drivers of Maryland I don't really think resigning him was a bad idea, but the amount of money they are paying him is. That is what I think really killed the team because we can't afford to pay for any good players.

      Clueless Drivers of Maryland I don't blame you. If I was him I wouldn't have asked for such a big contract. In fact I would have been perfectly happy with one that paid like $100k a year.
