    My dad has a '19 RAV4 XLE AWD - original owner. Just hit 38,000 miles this week. slight backstory my dad worked close to my parents home. But would drive 6, sometimes 7 days a week for work. Well he retired at the end of December. He's now enjoying retirement, doing stuff around the house, etc...
  2. 4.2 Faults & Fixes
    Hello, When cornering right leaving the motorway the front drivers wheel grabs and the traction control / anti-slip light flashes whilst beeping. I've seen a common cause being the steering rack bushing but don't believe this is the issue. This first started when the rear tyres were replaced...

    So, I have a 96 Manual 5 speed Rav4 2dr AWD and i have had it for 6 years and it mostly sat because it needs work and issues with registration. I finally got the registration taken care of last year and started to work on fixing it up but now I'm having issues with electrical (things keep...

    My 1998 fav4 awd 5spd only takes one jug of coolant when it’s supposed to take more. And ideas.
  5. 4.2 Faults & Fixes
    Long thread please be patient. My '05 automatic started clunking when I went into reverse and would rev high and not shift into third. I had the ECM replaced, and it's now worse. No reverse at all unless I press hard on the gas and it makes a huge thump and finally goes in reverse and same bs...
  6. 4.2 D.I.Y. and Modifications
    Hi there! 👋 I was wondering to acquire an 1MZ engine and ECM to upgrade my 1AZ powered 2001 RAV4 AT... Would be it possible? 🤔 - Why the 1MZ? 🤔 Because the 1st Gen Lexus RX300 (1998-2000) uses the same U140F gearbox as the RAV4 so, i havent to change my gearbox. So, i think i'll avoid that...

    I decided to replace my fifth-gear sleeve, bearing, synchronizer hub, and gear for my 1996 RAV4 MANUAL by following multiple videos along with this post very closely 5th Gear Popping out Self-Repair. I finished just about everything except when trying to press the new synchronizer hub with the...

    The problem is the diff on my 2020 Limited AWD are different from the 2019-2022 AWD models. I need to verify the location that I believe are the drain and fill locations before I start turning wrenches. All the videos online show a different version than mine. The first two pictures are my diff...

    I bought a really beat-up 1996 3DR AWD MANUAL RAV4, and I don't know what to do now. I was really impulsive and it was a good idea at the time but I'm starting to regret my decision. The fifth gear pops out and both airbags are blown out, I know both of these issues have a solution but I'm not...

    Hey y’all, I’ve just changed my tyres on my rav (2AZ) and I’ve noticed the awd system seems to kick in at random when braking hard(ish) at random. It’s repeatable but not every time, and didn’t happen prior to the tyre change. It’s currently on Firestone destination LE-02s at 32PSI. for...

    Just bought the blackout overlays for my 21 Rav4 LE @ cartrimhome website. Everything fit well except for AWD symbol Seems like it's cut about 1-2 cm too small to fit. I emailed them but haven't heard a reply I'll keep this updated. Any suggestions, Here's pics to show what I mean.

    I made a mistake and let the keys in my 2014 RAV4 XLE overnight. Battery was dead in the morning. I charged the battery up, but when I turned the vehicle on the AWD light and VSC indicator were stuck on. I've been driving with them on for a while and they haven't gone off on their own. There...

    I finally have decided that I am ready to let my Rav4 go. It has been a great car for the last 3 years of ownership and has gotten us everywhere we needed to go without skipping a beat. Negative temperatures, rain, heavy snow, yes even steep inclines haven't stopped this beast. The Basics of...

    I am moving on from my 1996 Toyota Rav4. It is a rare 2-door full-time AWD 5-speed model with two removable sunroofs and center locking differential. It has modest mileage now at 186,000 miles and still runs and drives excellently. It runs incredibly smooth and straight on highways. The car is...

    Hi! I'm on a long search for a 1st Gen Rav AWD. Every car I've looked at in Northern CA that's listed as AWD or 4WD has turned out to be 2WD, unless I'm missing something. There are a couple 15+ year old threads about this, with good info about checking VIN & chasis codes (along with just...

    My fuel economy on my 2013 2.5 AWD A/T is absolutely terrible around town. I am averaging about 15L per 100km (6.66km per litre / 14.11MPG). And when I say I drive as gently as I possibly can, I am not at all exaggerating. On the open road over a +- 1000km / 620 mile trip on mostly highways, I...

    I acquired a 2006 V6 that has a button near the steering wheel that will "lock" the wheels into place (4wd) up to 25mph. That is great...except for the mph limit. Does this vehicle have AWD in general and the button is just an extra feature? Thanks for any insights.

    Hello I researched the forums but i only found information regarding miss match tires affecting the AWD. I have a 2016 AWD XLE, i want to make it a soft roader until i have the cash to buy another 4x4 (the rav4 is my daily so i dont want to abuse it on the trail like i did with my Xterra)...

    I had an FWD LE 2019 gas and it was doing in average 32mpg, now I have this XLE AWD 2021 gas and it only does 28 mpg. Does this sound about right? 4mpg difference seem to be a lot for me! what do you get if you have any AWD gas?? The trim shouldn't make a difference, right??
