It’s because the sales people are mostly complete idiots. Half of them don’t even know if a particular model comes with tires they are that dumb. I don’t even know why they employee them.
I put a deposit down on mine and now I'm just waiting for my preferred color to come in. Your videos helped me decide on my first vehicle, and it's been a very long time coming. I'm in my 30s and never had my own car. Thanks for all the videos you've done Jeff!
i've been watching oil change videos etc and it says we SHOULD do an engine breakin and change the oil by 1000 miles on our new toyotas. I am getting one soon, I think! depends on how the shortage goes. and do oil changes EVERY 5000 miles! I watched oil change geek channel or something like that. doing that first oil change after breaking in the engine and then every 5000 miles is best and not every 10,000 miles like toyota says. I watch car care nut also on youtube. good luck.
I wish mine had the jbl speaker system I checked and you can’t even order it from Toyota. I bought the XLE metallic silver with convenience package,weather package,floor liners, and mudguard. I already got 17 accessories and now them r done ✅ I love it so much 😅😮🎉
Always enjoy your videos, which are excellent and full of enthusiasm. For me, if not for its crappy small turbo engine, I would pick the Honda CRV over the RAV. CRV has more leg room, better exterior styling, etc. Because of Honda’s turbo engine, I would purchase the RAV if I were in the market for a new SUV.
Debating about trading in my 2022 Toyota Corolla hatch for this. We have some snow in the winter for northern AZ, and want something with AWD that slightly bigger.
I dig that ambient lighting, my XSE doesn't have that. My biggest issue with mine is the wireless charging pad is too slippery so the phone slides out of that perfect position and stops charging. ANNOYING and like they didn't bother to test it and see it should be grippier rubber!
I don't understand the Platinum package. Doesn't Toyota already give two years of maintenance? And why does it have paint protection in the Platinum and then separate paint protection film for $748?
A couple more oil changes/ tire rotations than a regular new toyota. The platinum package is a liquid sealant, like wax. The separate paint protection is a physical film. But $450 for some fiber optic lights is total bs😭 correct me if I’m wrong 12:17 .🤢🤮
Whenever you get the chance, I would love to see a RAV4 side-by-side color comparison (of the magnetic gray metallic vs midnight black metallic). Which color would look cleaner in a state like Georgia?
I ended up buying my wife a 2024 Limited Hybrid with every factory option for $44,900. Zero dealer markups. All the local dealerships around me, with the markups were asking near 51-52k!!! The toyota dealers are THE WORST!!!!!
Jeff, We are due for a foot of snow up here this weekend. If I bought a RAV4 XLE with the "Premium Grade Weather Package" would I be able to change the weather into something more agreeable? 🤔
By adding $4000 in over sticker padded options you pricing real people out of the market. I wouldn't even go to a dealership that did this. The auto industry as a whole has shot itself in the foot. The economy is tanking and automakers are playing games.
Lots of people like options added to vehicles. This specific one is loaded for the buyers who want these options. Obviously not every one will come in with this many factory upgrades. This is why I filmed this one - it’s very rare
Yeah, it’s sucky but for a non-hybrid people are getting these thousands below MSRP now so lots of these add-ons are now ‘free’ in a sense. For hybrid they might still be holding you over a barrel (dunno on RAV4 as looking into something above it) but plain gas they have lost their leverage.
@@sidney4329 I’ve had a 1998 Honda Accord for 26 years with a sunroof and have never had any problems with it leaking or otherwise. I’m not a fan of if them but I’d say you’re complaining needlessly.
@@sidney4329 I never use the sunroof but for some reason I like the exterior look of it. I think it’s standard on the XLE and above so if you want a RAV4 you may have to accept the LE trim. I think if you stick to Honda or Toyota you’ll be fine. There is a minor maintenance required (see the Car Care Nut) again I don’t think anyone cleans the drains to prevent leaks. It’s a tricky thing for the manufacturer to install and for those who love them a very inexpensive way to get one. I’m done.
What do you think about Toyota never refreshing the tail lights on the Rav4 since 2019? Usually Toyota tweaks the headlights , tail lights , front end and rear end after the 3rd year of a new model. As an example : a 2019 Rav4 LE looks identical to a 2024 Rav4 LE except for the headlights.
Hi Jeff, I'm getting the Rav4 Prime Se. Can i add fog lights to them at my local dealership? I noticed it doesn't come with them. Also, memory seats should be standard on the Rav4 Prime Se.
@@tsdr6830 Not on the RAV4 Prime SE. You get vertical accent lights on the RAV4 Prime XSE and you will get other features like cooled seats and an either a 10.3 inch screen or a 12.3 inch multi-media screen. My sister just bought a new 2023 RAV4 Prime SE. She got heated seats and a nine inch multi-media screen and a power rear hatch and 302 hp. Both she and her husband love their new RAV4 Prime SE
@@Irishmanbikes Just got mine yesterday. Rav4 Prime Se and loving it so far. I would have gotten the Xse, but it comes with the moon roof and I'm not a fan of the moon roof. It's made of tempered glass and tempered glass has issues, so I just went for the Se.
great car. i wanna one. only 2 things disappointed me, little disappointed it is not flat folded back seats, and very disappointed it is headrests in toyotas they just 45° to front. head in front when you driving, for me it is very uncomfortable. make me slouch.
Thanks for watching, liking, commenting, subscribing, and putting up with my 80s references :) Jeff
No problemo!
Jeff does this XLE Premium have a FRONT Camera View? (Up to 7 MPH)
I was curious since you stated it has FRONT Parking Sensors.
you are fun to watch and informative esp Im deciding what to get this year
@@knightlyexperience6010 thanks!!! Haha
Just got the same Rav4 XLE Premium with blueprint color and the same features. Love it. 👍
Price OTD you paid for it ?? Thank you
Jeff. no one goes through a Toyota like you do. also very entertaining . great job
Just purchase a Limited! Bam! There you go. Crome door handles show the difference. I love my RAV4 Limited. Has everything I love.
Just got an XLE Premium yesterday in Wind Chill Pearl. Love it! Still trying to figure out all the settings.
Jeff, just bought one with all those packages on it. Love all of the packages and the whole vehicle.
Omg I love this guy and his energy. He is funny and I love how he explains everything about the car that the sales people never explain......HOLLLLAAA
HOLLLLAAAAA I just posted your awesome comment on my instagram story
Awesome Jeff I'm here for it 👏
I can't agree more, Jeff is a hoot. If I was in the US I'd go out of my way to buy my Toyota from him.
It’s because the sales people are mostly complete idiots. Half of them don’t even know if a particular model comes with tires they are that dumb. I don’t even know why they employee them.

That’s an awesome reason to subscribe hahahaha! Congrats on your new ride!!!
One small but important misstep around 10:30 in. Rav 4 hybrids only come with ECT transmission. Gas only has 8 speed auto.
Another great video. I hope to have my new RAV4 hybrid loaded with all the features and gadgets in 2025.

@taebby78 can you see over the monitor display? I heard that the driver’s seat sits lower. And short people will need a booster seat 😭😭😂😂😂
Rav4s are great. Love em.

Thank you Jeff. Beyond my budget. I'm looking to go late model late model 1990 early 2000's import from Japan. Yakoza style!!
What's with all that stuff added on by Southeast Toyota? Can any of that be removed? I mean $79 for a $5 phone cable?
Whenever you get the chance, I would love to see a RAV4 side-by-side color comparison (of the magnetic gray metallic vs midnight black metallic). Which color would look cleaner in a state like Georgia?
Go with the magnetic gray metallic.
Neither of these two get metallic silver it won’t show dirt that’s color I got I love it the silver is beautiful 😻
JbL is nice speakers this car is definitely worth it

Jeff, this is not a Hybrid, and there is no electric motor, therefore the output power is not 219.😅

Haha he made me laugh 😂
Hi Ruth!!
Would be the best for me
Thanks for the cool video
We also have a place this probalby the best car review lol
The price o the premium package doubled for the 2025 RAV4
They added more features
Hi Jeff. Does the Premium XLE come with passenger power seat?
We all miss Christina how is she ? 🤓
My local Toyota is trying to sell me this trim for 40k
Where you located?
Not fully you are missing ventilated seats.
Nissan and reliability should never be mentioned in the same sentence. 😮
Don’t be cheesy. Just give a review.
power lift gate ,to replace that motor is gonna hit ur wallet.
Get the same cheaper as aftermarket
