You are in the Toyota RAV4 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
From the research I've done, apparently the 06 RAV does not have a rear window that opens or even lifts up. What is the sense in this? It is enough of a problem that I would eliminate it from my options even tho I love Toyota quality and handling. Anyone know if the 07 will have a functional window for those trips to Menard's and Home Depot?

The Edmunds site indicates the towing capacity for BOTH the 06 RAV4 and Highlander with same size 6 cyl engines is the same at 3500#. Comparatively, the 2.4 L 4cyl RAV4 tows at max 1500#, which sounds reasonable to me. But the 2.4L 4cyl Highlander lists a whopping 3000# max towing capacity. Can anyone make sense of this for me, or is it an error?

Do you think paying $17,500 for a 2002 Rav4 with the L package and 47,900 miles on it is overpriced? I have not seen the vehicle yet, but from what I hear the current owner hasn't had any problems with it, and it is in good condition. This is the price he got from the dealership that he bought the Rav from. Kelly blue book prices the vehicle from $14,915-$12,590 but nada.com prices it from $15,550-$18,125. Thanks!

I am thinking of buying wife an RAV4 but keep hearing about excessive wind noise, engine whining and rough shifting.... We live in Dallas so it will be "normal" city/highway driving.... Wife just likes the look of small SUV's. This will be first SUV as we have always driven Honda sedans. Any input will be greatly...greatly appreciated. Raul

Replying to: tidester (Mar 22, 2006 9:10 pm) Basically, I'm looking for a safe tow with low fuel consumption. Any idea about fuel consumption with a 4 cyl engine when towing? We currently have a Dodge Ram 1/2 ton truck with heavy duty towing package. We get 15 mpg but when pulling that little tent camper, it goes down to 10 or 11 mpg on flat terrain. It's gotta go! Appreciate any responses, especially related to personal experience. |

We were looking for a 2006 RAV4 but might just use the $30,000 to buy two used Toyotas; a 2001 Tacoma PreRunner & a 2001 AWD RAV4 automatic. However I'm finding a lot of negative reviews for the RAV about rattles, poor stereo sound, poor gas mileage & lack of power for passing. Are these problems common to the 2001 RAV or just from a few dissatisfied drivers? And can we expect these two 2001s to be reliable for the next 5-10 years? Any thoughts/suggestions?
