    I will be towing a 5x8' U-Haul trailer. Per the U-Haul FAQ: "The optimal ball height for towing U-Haul trailers is 18½ to 18¾ inches." The mount and ball I bought has a maximum ball height of 16.75 inches on the Curt hitch on my 2022 RAV4 Hybrid. Will this combination still work? Since U-Haul...

    Hey there. I am looking into a pop up camp trailer to tow with my 2022 Rav4 TRD. It weighs at 1300# dry and tongue weight of 175#. I have the Toyota hitch on my Rav. Anyone have any advice or experience with towing a small camper in the Rav? Thank you!

    Hi All! I have a few questions regarding towing with my 2019 Hybrid XSE. I have a 2" hitch receiver on it currently and am working on getting it wired up. This summer, I will be following Dead and Company on tour and am thinking of towing a small teardrop behind me while I do so. I have found...

    Hello, I love my Toyota rav4 and love camping. I have started to look into towable campers but have found mixed messages about the 2018 Toyota rav4 LE towing capacity. Was curious if anyone had any experience with this year’s towing capacity and tips? I’ve seen it range from 1500 to 3500, which...

    Hey all, I have a 2021 Rav4 Limited and am interested in the extra towing capacity for the adventure trim. I'm not a stranger to turning wrenches and am curious what changes would need to be made to get the same hardware the adventure trim has for the towing capacity. Is there anything...

    I do understand that it's a generally bad idea, but I want to understand the potential scope of work and if that's possible at all. So I own 2022 RAV4 LE FWD 4-cylinder 2.5L gas. From the factory, it has specifications for towing of about 1500 lbs. Max out RAV4 adventure trim can tow up to...

    What are the largest tires one can install on standard Rav4 (2020) rims? I'm needing to replace tires and am looking to also raise the vehicle a bit (due to my after market trailer hitch).

    Hi, I've used OBDFusion in the past to measure ATF temp when towing with my dad's Tacoma and my Outback. I'm getting ready for a summer trip from AZ to OR and planning on hauling about 1500lbs on my 2020 Rav4 hybrid. Just ordered an airbag set for the back coils and it sounds like there's...

    Looking to buy a 2018 XLE Rav4! What are some things to look out for/be cautious of. Red flags and known issues? The does and donts of that make/model? Whats the difference between the XLE and XLE Premium? Has anyone towed anything with theirs? Looking to occasionally pull about 3000 lbs How...

    Combining two questions into one. I have a 2013 RAV4 XLE AWD. It already has the Toyota roof rails and cross bars on top. I have to move soon so I'm thinking of installing a tow hitch receiver and putting a basket on top. My Toyota dealer quoted me ~$400 for the trailer hitch (I believe parts...

    this might be a really stupid question. but has anyone towed a small uhaul trailer (or similar small box trailer) with their older model rav4? is this a dumb idea? I know they have 1,500 lbs towing capacity but I'm worried I would mess up my car? I bought my rav4 secondhand last October, she's...

    Hi, I'm moving from Louisiana to Massachusetts and was going to tow a 5'x8' UHaul Cargo Trailer with my 2006 RAV4 (I4, 1500 # Towing Capacity [I think, new to towing]). Is this safe? Can the vehicle make it? I want to push hard and do the trip in 2 days. Thanks in advance & please let me know...

    I've searched the site and cannot find anyone who has actually towed a trailer with a 2019 Rav4 Adventure. I have tow experience and I seriously doubt the vehicle's ability to tow 3,500 lbs for anything more than down the block. However, I do want to tow a travel trailer of 1,500 to 1,750 LBS...

    I have a Rav4 2019 XLE AWD, I did install a tow hitch and now I want to tow a small boat that weights around 2200#. So I was wondering how can I add a transmission cooler? To help with the extra towing weight. Also i was planning to add: Cusco Strut Tower Brace Front and the Cusco Power...

    I recently bought a 2019 XLE with a sun roof. I’m coming from a pick up truck of 10 years. Naturally I need to take things places and do outdoor activities. My question is: What’s the opinion on OE style with the gentle arch in the middle vs the straight bar one is see that are a little longer...

    2020 RAV4 Limited Hybrid (AWD) GTWR: 1,750 lb Unbraked TWR: 1,000 lb I have a trailer that does not have brakes and has a GVWR of 1,400 lb. I'd like to load it to near full capacity. What I gather from the owner's manual is that the only real limitation here is braking power. I have several...
