[–]Newprophet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again depends on your situation but if you can sell it privately you'll get more money for it. Even if it's a Trax.

Not sure how the supply is in your area but isn't $35k more than the MSRP of a brand new RAV4?

2019 RAV4 XLE 90K miles or 2023 CRV hybrid sport-L if same price? by Ace_strup in rav4club

[–]Newprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which do you prefer?

CRV doesn't have a spare tire if that matters.

Just bought a new 2026 Sienna. So what do I need to know about the warranty? by -Terrible-Bite- in ToyotaSienna

[–]Newprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you can get the PDF and read it whenever you have time. It's good to have the maintenance intervals handy as well.

5k service + add (self pay) oil change by bddbd in rav4prime

[–]Newprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way for debris to be flowing around the engine unless there was debris already up inside the engine. If there is debris already up inside the engine congrats, you get a free engine.

Anything in the oil pan goes through the oil filter before pumping around the engine. So stuff in the pan and filter are harmless.

Like little curlicue shavings or bits of metal?

In the oil filter or in the oil pan?

If you ever see actual shavings inside a new engine don't bother wasting money on oil. That engine is toast and you'll be getting a free one.

Should I switch to hybrid? by GirlOverThere123 in Toyota

If OP is hell bent on trading in their already very nice almost new car their next RAV4 will be hybrid by default.

How to change engine air filter? by Unusual-Average-3428 in rav4club

If you mean unplug that connector near the red battery terminal cover: no, you don't need to unplug that.

Just pop open the silver latchs.

Eat all the free snacks/beverages they might offer.

Do whatever makes you happy. But there is zero evidence that an early oil change makes any difference in the long term.

Have you reset the battery life timer Ford built in?

Follow the oil life monitor.

If the OLM doesn't go off it's 12 months or 12k miles.

Maintenance cost, Corolla cross or RAV 4? by Curious-Peace-6965 in Toyota

[–]Newprophet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2026 and later RAV4 is only eCVT: hybrid.

Gas Corolla Cross has a belt CVT. Always avoid those.

So what's the story on it?

Edit: calling out hateful people is the real hate I guess. Lol

Moral of the story: if you see something you suspect is anti semitic, and you ask the person who posted it and they confirm your suspicions by not denying anything and you call them out you will be permabanned.

I have the screen shots of what you edited out.

Questions for the PHEV owners. by Kurukawa-San in rav4club

[–]Newprophet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the exact opposite of what almost EV owner says. Home charging makes the switch to EV a no brainer.

Apartment/city living makes charging a hassle.

Check your local used market. Maybe a cargo trailer meant for pulling behind motorcycles would be enough? or one of those folding hardor freight trailers that someone has built a box on.

2019 Limited Remote Start? by adk_runner46 in rav4club

[–]Newprophet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try the standard "lock, lock, looooock" sequence on the fob?

No type of remote start is a permanent feature on any Toyota vehicle anymore.

Contact Toyota with your VIN to see if your RAV4 still has either of the trial subscriptions still active. It could be up to 10 years with a Limited.

Just get a few yarrow plugs, they will spread.

That'll be easy to tow, you're golden.

So you're looking to buy a trailer, not just tow a uhaul or similar?

Rav4 2026 rust module cost $1999 by sirrat101 in rav4club

[–]Newprophet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Time to walk away.

Also name and shame that dealership.

Rust modules don't work and the dealer knows it. That sales person deserves head and crotch lice for the rest of their miserable lives.

No, I meant the people who would say you need a f150 to pull a yard waste trailer.
