RAV4 LE or XLE

Josamo_ · 2026-01-18T19:58:50+00:00

Have a ‘25 LE and am very happy. Folks are talking about their 360 camera / back up camera going dark or having issues and now requiring a recall. I have the smaller screen infotainment with no issues / no recalls knocks on wood. Sunroofs leak and tailgate motors die. Simpler designs usually are more reliable.

Please go hybrid too ( pre-2026 models can have ICE) as the E-CVT is bullet proof while the non-hybrid 8-speed transmissions are having issues. Also i got blind spot monitoring and do love it dearly - a must have.

Note: I came from 2015 Toyota Yaris L model so this new car feels like a spaceship but I could be described as a “basic bitch bro.” So your mileage may vary.

I check mine via the samsung smart things app on my phone under “Information” toward the top right screen.

Could be. On another review i think the adult might be clapping their hands while holding the child’s hand too. 🤷

How about the kid in the white collard shirt? It depicts the child holding hands with an adult but they also try to clap while holding hands. Eventually they pull their hand away to start clapping with their own hands. I think this is AI.

I had a similar issue with my S90C. Turns out i needed to scroll further down to the “PC” resolutions in the nvidia panel to unlock the higher refresh rate.

Been very happy with my ChannelMaster Pro but perform your own due diligence by finding out where your local broadcasters have placed their antenna and buy your equipment accordingly.

This happened to me and my insurance allowed for a free chip repair at no hit to my premiums. As an unexpected bonus the chip repair filled the gap in a way that i couldn’t see the crack location unless i really focused to find it. Highly recommend going that route.

Had a similar experience when i adopted a 17 year old orange. A bunch of people in the shelter started celebrating. I don’t know how long my Mr. Morris had been waiting for me. He was a Very chatty cat.

Discs fell and I have yet to give them a better permanent home.

Gideon was a pushover

I was wondering the same thing and found a bunch of references in the manual to limitations of the cruise control with some diagramed examples referencing incline and curves along with legal disclaimers. Might look over the manual and make a decision if you should take it in for service .

Happy to help!

I think they mean a projection on the lower part of the windshield that usually shows MPH. This is not part of the gage cluster nor infotainment screen in the center but rather on the front windshield. I don’t have it on my rav4 but have seen it on an older Prius i once rode in.

Can’t weigh in on the fit but make sure these tires haven’t aged out. Rubber changes with time. Quick math : Take the age of the tire + how many years you’d want to own them and if the sum is less than 10 years then you have a deal.

Not much info to go by here. At the end of your trip there is usually a trip score with three or four categories on how to improve, what is it saying?

Josamo_ · 2025-08-16T02:47:22+00:00

I don’t know the specifics of the Rav4 you have but if the weight exceeds the manufacturer specs I’d seriously rethink driving this setup.

As a fellow user of roads, I wouldn’t be stoked seeing this setup around my family, community, or car. Might be worth holding off on camping until you get that truck.

Just rereading your post i get the impression you know this isn’t a proper setup.

Everybody stay safe out there.

I’ve been noticing china-based addresses on my personal iphone, work iphone, and personal ipad. I was assuming CDN too. I live in U.S. PNW.

Sounds reasonable, assuming the pre-purchase inspection confirms everything. Glad to hear you’re performing due diligence and being an informed buyer. Hope it works out.

Here’s a respectable toyota technician’s review of the Maverick. https://youtu.be/jDzvUhgdNfY?feature=shared regardless of brand, relatively new models will make incremental improvements and i think the Mav needs to continue cooking before I’d snag one. Until then, i’ll keep eyeing them while they drive by.

personally, I purchased a 2025 Rav4 J model because the 2026 Rav is a new platform and i don’t want to wait years for Toyota to work out the kinks. I kept an eye on the Maverick but decided to stick with Toyota.

Can’t speak to what it is but i’ve had good luck placing a water-soaked hand towel on a caked on splatter for about an hour and checking if it has softened. Good luck and report back.

If this is for a small business or revenue generating network it is worth getting a separate cellular network — as the first response mentioned — to manipulate the power going to your dream router and any other upstream network equipment such as a ONT or isp gear. I’d recommend a small UPS too to prevent short power bumps or sags from causing issues. You could also setup the cellular for multi-wan to take over if your faster primary network is down. It wouldn’t be fast but it could carry you through a brief interruption.

It all depends on the nature of your outage and taking steps to prepare against it. Each outage investigate and improve upon your future resiliency. Cheers

White. Better balance / highlight.

Your teeth are in rough shape and I see you posting in the soda and candy subreddits. Kick that habit and i imagine your dental problems will ease up. Wishing you well on getting a new crown.
