This is my 2023 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD. Pardon the wind and my horrible allergies, but I tried to condense in 9 minutes why the 2019- 2024 Toyota RAV4 is the best car in the world and why you should buy one today. This is my second 5th Gen RAV4 and I have long-term experience with 4 in total. Believe it or not this is the short version of the key points. I’m sure I missed something or another but feel free to ask me anything about this RAV4 or RAV4s in general. This is my 2023 RAV4 XLE AWD gas. So far with 5,400 miles in 8 months, I cannot get enough of it. As I have mentioned, I had a 2019 RAV4 LE FWD, and I STUPIDLY traded it for a 2023 Lexus GX460. I didn’t like it, and I missed my 19 so bad I went back to a RAV4. So that should tell you how much I love these cars. They’re so awesome, my girlfriend got a 2024 Limited AWD gas.

Nice , review , I've got a 21' rav4 LE AWD in MGM , love it , I'm a auto technician myself of 15+ yrs , I purposely chose this generation rav4 due to its simplicity and well known reliability . However I have to disagree with one thing that you stated in the video , You don't have to run the Toyota brand 0w16 in these A25A engines . The ONLY reason Toyota states to use this oil is due to CAFE and EPA regulations . They are held to it by law . When people say its due to "tighter tolerances" , that's false information … I've checked and compared engine clearance specs and there is ZERO difference in connecting rod/ main bearing clearances ranging over 20 + years of Toyota engines . Also the CarCareNut is amazingly talented and knowledgeable but he through out the statement that " the oil pump is calibrated specifically for 0w16" again that's false information . Toyotas that run the exact same A25A engine in other countries, they're owners manuals state that you can safely run a wide variety of viscosities from 0w16 to 10w30 without any issue , of course It mainly depends on ambient operating temperature conditions . You have to remember that Toyota is only out to achieve the highest fuel economy numbers to satisfy these epa/cafe laws , 0w16 is only here to help achieve that , however in my educated opinion , 0w16 does not offer true long-term longevity. I've torn down engines that have ran these ultra low viscosity oils and after 100-150 thousand miles the cylinder walls have major scoring and they burn a large amount of oil . At minimum I would not use anything lower than 0w20 specifically in the winter months . then switch to a 5w30 synthetic for the warmer months . You hit the nail on the head about OCI's . Definitely do not follow Toyotas mentality of "low cost of ownership" running 10000 mile intervals . Anyway keep up the great RAV4 content ! cheers

I owned a camry for 6yr & I agree with everything you said about Toyota. NA 4 cyl with torque converter automatic is bullet proof.

I have a 24 RAV4 Hybrid Limited and adore it. I’m an auto industry veteran and agree - it’s the best all around vehicle you can buy.

Hybrids are not reliable and expensive to repair nobody cares

Great review. I'm looking at a 2024 Limited and I was so happy to hear that it does not have that annoying Auto Start Stop. I'm coming from a '19 Mazda CX5 GTR which does not have, and although I have never driven a car with it, I can only imagine how annoying that would be. Thanks for the quick review!

@@petersuarez651 I’m glad you were able to enjoy the video despite my allergies at this time and the wind noise. Rest assured I’m looking into a microphone to address that issue and I got my allergies under control for the next videos! I truly hope to see you get that RAV4. I’m very jealous of her 24 Limited. It feels so luxurious in there and hugs the road a little better!

Really Great Video ! Appreciate it , if you could demonstrate why did you choose gas over hybrid?

@mike_wellington_ 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and commenting! I might make a video on that actually. All 4 of the RAV4’s (my two, a previous relationship 2021, and current girlfriend’s 2024), have been gas for the few main reasons. While Toyota hybrid are absolutely bulletproof, they come in at a higher price point, cost a tad bit more to insure, and are harder to come by as they are in a way higher demand. The hybrid MPG is only a few points better on the highway than the gas model so in some cases it may not matter to get the hybrid. Also for my last really nitpicking reason (because I mentioned it doesn’t matter as they are bulletproof), less moving parts and electronics to worry about long-term. That said if you are getting a RAV4, and you want the hybrid, they have a very long warranty on the hybrid powertrain, so I would not have you hesitate to get one, or any other RAV4 for that matter. There is no wrong answer to it!
