so, I’ve been driving a Toyota RAV4 for a while now, and honestly, it’s a pretty solid ride. but when it comes to towing, I had to do some digging. depending on the model year, the towing limit is usually around 1,500 to 3,500 lbs. that’s a decent range, right?
I once tried to tow my buddy’s tiny trailer, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a circus. the RAV4 handled it okay, but I really felt like I was pushing it. has anyone else tried towing with their RAV4?
I mean, it’s not a truck, so don’t expect it to pull a boat or something. but it’s great for small stuff, like jet skis or a small camper. just don’t overdo it, or you might end up in a pickle.
I’ve had my RAV4 for a couple years now and honestly it’s pretty solid for light towing. I remember taking my small trailer to a camping spot in Colorado and it handled the hills better than I expected.
Most say the towing limit is around 3500 pounds which is decent for an SUV of its size. I just wish they had a bit more power for bigger jobs but it gets the job done when needed.
I’ve towed a small trailer with my RAV4 in California and it did fine but I later learned the limit is around 1500 pounds for the standard model hope that helps some of y’all.
My friend said he’s had trouble with heavier hauls though guessing it’s hit or miss with each vehicle.
I ve heard the RAV4 is decent for towing but I was surprised how limited it feels compared to other SUVs. In Michigan trying to haul a small trailer felt like pushing it a bit too far. It’s okay for light stuff.
I remember when I towed my camping trailer with my 2020 RAV4 around Lake Tahoe. It handled surprisingly well even though I was a bit nervous.
I have heard the max towing limit is around 3500 lbs for the newer models which is decent for a compact SUV. But if you’re planning to haul something bigger you might wanna look at a truck instead.
I remember when I had a RAV4 in Ohio and decided to tow my small camper. Honestly I was surprised by its capacity. I’ve always thought it wasn’t much of a towing beast but it handled 3500 pounds like a champ. Just keep in mind to stay within the limits for safety.
I’ve had my RAV4 for a few years now in California and I can say the towing limit is around 1500 pounds that’s decent for a compact SUV. I sometimes wish it could tow more but it does the job.
I own a RAV4 in Texas and I’ve towed a small trailer before. The limit is decent for light loads but not super high.
I remember when I tried pulling my boat with my RAV4 in Michigan and it felt a bit sketchy. I’ve heard the newer models can tow about 3500 pounds which isn’t bad but still I felt like I was pushing my luck. Must say towing a camper might be a no-go.
I remember last summer I took my RAV4 out to the mountains in Colorado thinking it could handle my small camper trailer. Turns out I was wrong. I’ve learned the towing limit is around 1500 pounds for the newer models. We ended up having to rent a bigger truck. It was a wild adventure but not what I’d planned.
The RAV4 is great for road trips but towing heavy stuff is another story. Just something to keep in mind if you’re thinking about hitching up.
I remember when I took my RAV4 to the mountains in Colorado. I thought it could handle my trailer easily and to my surprise it struggled a bit. The towing limit is around 3500 lbs for the newer models but honestly it felt like I was pulling a small house.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about it. Great for light loads but can be a pain if you push it too hard.
I ve owned a RAV4 for a few years now in Ontario and honestly its great for small trailers but don’t expect to haul anything serious.
Heard some people pushing it but I think that’s pushing limits a bit too much.
I remember when my buddy rented a RAV4 for a road trip in Colorado last summer. We thought we could tow a small trailer for our gear. Turns out the towing limit is around 1,500 lbs which wasn’t enough for what we needed. It was kind of a bummer having to cram everything inside. But the RAV4 drove smooth on those mountain roads so not all was lost. Great for daily driving for sure.
I remember hauling my small boat up to the lake in Oregon last summer with my RAV4 It handled it okay but I wish it could pull more I think the limit is way too low for fun trips
I ve seen folks squeeze out more with some mods but still not ideal for bigger toys Just a thought
I’ve had my RAV4 for two years now in California and honestly the towing limit feels kinda low compared to some other SUVs. I think it’s around 1500 pounds which is fine for a small boat but I wouldn’t try towing anything heavier. I wish it could handle more for road trips in the mountains.
I’ve always found towing with a RAV4 tricky. Once on a trip to the Rockies it felt like I was straining to pull my little camper. The official towing limit is often around 1500 pounds depending on the model but in real life it just doesn’t feel like enough sometimes. I ve seen folks towing more but honestly that’s risky business.
I’ve always thought the RAV4 was decent for light towing like a small trailer. Here in Canada it does fine for camping.
But if you push the limits it feels shaky sometimes. Still serves well overall.
I have a RAV4 and honestly the towing limit has been a bit of a bummer sometimes like 1500 lbs isn’t much for my kayak and stuff.
But hey it gets great mileage so I guess it balances out.
