Toyota sharpened its focus when it developed the all-new 2013 RAV4 crossover SUV.

They've just completed their testing of the RAV4 and although we won't see the details for a little while yet there's a brief preview just posted (May 3).

Note that she does mention that overall fuel economy was found to be only 1 MPG better than the previous generation. A big disappointment and a big surprise considering the new 6 speed tranny - certainly not as good as Toyota claims.
Hi, I would like to know from fellow rav4 owners, if my 2000 5door rav4 2lt have a diff in the front as well as the back, and have a central diff lock instead of a front or rear, does that make it an all wheel drive? I would also like to know if my rav is an all wheel drive, can I fit bigger wheels or will that cause any problems on the diff or drive shaft or cause any other problems in the long run?
