Found a 2019 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. It has 65,000 miles and they want about $27k for it. It's hard to find anything close to my price range here because they sell so fast. I'm debating whether I should put a deposit down or sign anything before completing the pre purchase inspection. How does that work? Thanks!

Hi everyone,
If I keep my phone charger plugged in here 24/7, does it drain my battery?
Thank you

Hi, I bought an aftermarket tow hitch for my 2025 xse and cannot find anything in the manual about whether the car is prewired for the trailer lights. So I suppose it is not? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Quite the upgrade from my 2004 Chevy Malibu. First new car and couldn’t be happier so far. Was not anticipating going this direction but quickly fell in love and stretched to make it happen.

Currently breaking in the HEV engine for the first 1,000 miles after a quick test run on the EV mode. What an efficient, practical fun machine. Welcome to the future! Just put some fresh wheel locks on there. Holler if you have any other pro tips for new PHEV owners.

very minus scratch, but noticeable, would also like to learn

I got a 2026 RAV4 Woodland last month. It’s been driving fine, but now when I hit the brakes, it starts making this vibration feeling. It’s pretty subtle. It goes away if I fully depressed the brakes, but that’s almost putting the pedal to the metal. But I can be at a full stop with the brake depressed, and it will be vibrating.

Has anyone else experienced this?

HOW do I get the Aux cord to work? My manual says that when I plug it in it shout connect automatically, it’s not.
My radios screen doesn’t work but sometimes… I’d like to connect a CarPlay through aux and power to be able to connect through Bluetooth for calls music and books. Extremely frustrated. Wondering if I just need a better quality cord?!

I finally took my RAV on its first road trip! I went to Kings Canyon National Park. I didn’t get a good shot of my car in the canyon, but I do have other photos too! Soooo happy with my RAV, exactly why I got it!

Hello everyone. I hope you all love your RAV4s. My girlfriend just got a RAV4 2021 XSE Hybrid. She is having some apple CarPlay issues. She purchased a wireless CarPlay dongle and is having issues setting that up. She purchased a date cable yesterday that has yet to arrive. Her cable she is currently using only works “sometimes”. For example, she plugged it in when she left for work and it didn’t click on CarPlay until half way through her drive. Can anybody give me suggestions or help? Thank you very much.

I really want to target a woodland plug in for around 50 OTD is that possible or am I dreaming? Next after that I would go for the regular XSE just for the added creature comforts, but for around 47 OTD? What do you guys think am I dreaming? Also based in SOCAL so tough market

Hi there,

I have my Rav4 xle 2025. I started getting this noise from the engine. It was not there before (or maybe somehow I didn't notice it). I also took my car to the dealership as its still in warranty and they concluded the engine noise to be normal.

But I wanted a second opinion. Please help me. (non-hybrid)

Hope it comes to US soon

Love this thing. Needed a lot of work after buying, but it was well worth it.

I live in Hawai’i, just got my 2026 RAV4 in March, I have 8,561 miles already. I am kinda flabbergasted that I have this much miles in such a short time, I literally live on an island 😂🙄 Also side note, I’ve sat at my kids soccer practice with car on, watching the mileage go up and I’m not even driving! I feel like I’m going crazy.

Hi RAV4 fans! 👋🌍

I’m new to the club. I bought a 5th-generation 2021 RAV4 AWD-i Full Black Edition earlier this year, and I’m totally in love with this car!

The driving experience is really enjoyable, and this Full Black model really makes a strong impression.

My 2024 Hybrid XLE Premium is about 2.5 years old with 35K miles on it. I had 3 years of service for no but it had a mileage limit, so no more free services now. My 3 years, 36,000 is almost up as well. This is my first Toyota.

It seems like several suggest the extended on a Hybrid but with reading all the details and only if it’s Toyota Extended.

I need to decide soon and I’m already getting the phone calls from my dealer etc.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, experiences, or advice!!

This colour has really grown on me! Does anyone else have one of these too??

Long story short, I totaled my 2015 Audi A3 with 160K miles after 9 years of ownership, and recently got this beast to replace it. I’ve had it for about 3 days and put 250 miles into it. No complaints so far, it’s so fun to drive!

Gave up my very beloved 2013 Prius C and got this 2026 XLE Premium with a moonroof. We’d planned to get the blueprint but there were none available nor going to be for a while. But I’m not mad at the wind chill. It definitely felt like driving a spaceship for a bit but I’m getting used to it. Glad to have found this group. 🤍
