Shortly after buying my 07 V6 Rav I ordered the Magnus hitch off ebay. I plan to use my faithful old Nissan Pathfinder for my main trail rig as I don't care as much if myself or the kids get it dirty. But I know there will be times when I want to pull a bike or 2 or 3 and I'll want to be using the Rav.
Installing the hitch was a piece-o-cake. I did it myself in 40 degree weather.
Yesterday I loaded up 2 of our bikes and hit the trails. I wanted to get the bikes out in the nice winter weather to get the gas and oil circulating and to test out the Rav pulling 2 bikes.
I gotta say I am really impressed with the mighty Rav4! The big engine pulls easy, the tranny doesn't wander and shift up and down constantly, and the suspension doesn't bounce around with the extra weight on the rear.
It drives down the road much better than I expected! I am very content.
