I started towing my boat with 2006 RAV4 V6 with towing package. The boat+trailer is at least 2400 lbs and probably closer to 3000 lbs. Drives like a dream. I would recommend trailer brakes and overdrive off and you should be OK.

RAV$ 4 Safety by gracejoan

A friend who has a 2006 RAV 4 was in a fender bender accident...over $3000 in repairs...the manager of the collision repair shop advised him to get rid of the RAV..they were not safe and just junk vehicles.
 
I'm on my 4th RAV..latest a 2006 Limited...love it.
 
Would like to hear what others have to say about this.
Thanks,
 
Joan

$3000 is not much these days for repairs. If you get in a minor accident, it can set off the air bags, and that can cost a few grand right there.

The cost of repairs was not really my concern. It was the comment from the collision manager about the RAV being so cheaply made and not a safe vehicle.

If the body-shop manager's words were true, I think the govt & insur industry's crash test ratings would reflect that.
But they don't.
 
RAV on.

I recently cracked the spare tire shell and am looking for a new one. Does anybody have a source? So far I can only find the cloth ones.

RS3200/Keyless Lights Issue by rray49

I have an issue with the RS3200/keyless entry for my RAV4. There are times that I do not want the headlights to stay on for 30 seconds but I can't figure out if there is a way to selectively turn that feature off. I can select the chirping and alarms (valet) but not the lights apparently. Does anyone know how?
 
Also, is there a way to turn the clock light up higher so I can see it? I've got the interior lights turned up as high as they can go.

I just had the same problem. With the 2004 RAV, you just hold in the trip reset button, and then turn the ignition to ON...you'll see dashes and when they disappear, the light goes off. But I'm sure you figured it out already, since your message was from almost 2 years ago! I just wanted to post this, since I couldn't find anything. I had to figure it out myself!!!
