So when I purchased the car, they provided like 5 or so manuals/books but no case/bag. What did you guys have?

This is for the 2016 RAV4 XLE Hybrid.

Same here. I put the main manual in the glove box. And threw the other books in the closet

My 2006, 2015 and the Hybrid all came with a plastic case that holds most of the manuals, but not all if you want to fasten it closed. To be honest I haven't looked at the hard copy manual for months, I only use the downloaded pdf manuals, it's much easier to use the search than find something manually. I keep the hard copy under the passenger front seat so it's there if I ever need it, otherwise it just takes up valuable space in the glove box.

My '11 4.3 RAV manual and the other books and booklets all were supplied enclosed in a plastic folio-type case with a snap closure.

The plastic case that came with mine has the dealer's advertising on it. So its something the dealers buy on their own.

Mine's like a book that opens to show all the manuals. It has the Toyota logo on the outside, a placeholder for a couple of business cards inside.

No case for mine. All the manuals are in the glove box.

Thanks, I emailed my dealership and my sales agent will get me a case, I guess they forgot to give me it when I purchased.

We bought a Limited and it came with no case. Retrieved the case from the 2004 Highlander we traded in. Storing the rarely used manuals in the house.

Thanks for the picture. I just want to make sure I have things legit since it's a new car. It thought it was strange how they just said here are your manuals...

We didn't receive a case with ours either, was just looking into this as all we got were all of the manuals rubber-banded together in the glove box. Granted I use the searchable PDFs whenever I really need something but it'd still make for a cleaner look for our glove box. I'll ask our dealer about it when I get our winter wheels put on this coming week.

I was not surprised, given my many experiences with dealers, but I recently received an email, from one of the sales ladies, from my dealership, stating she had found an inquiry with my name on it, and she wanted to know if I was still interested in buying a new RAV4. This really reinforces my belief, once they have your money, no one really remembers you, or your name. I am not talking about a year later, I am talking next week.

The salesman at my Toyota dealership calls me once a year without fail to wish me a happy birthday. Sure, that could be attributed to a computer program, but whenever I'm having service done, I walk around the showroom and if I see him, he greets me by name and asks me how my RAV4 is doing. I bought the vehicle from him 8 years ago, and he has never tried to pressure me to buy a new one. Nice folks.

Just picked up my 2017 RAV4 Limited Hybrid yesterday. No case for the manuals. There really are a slew of them.

That's Toyota for you. Trying to save those nickels and dimes again.

My XLE came with a nice case and a dealer key fob. I've downloaded the manuals into iBooks and find it a bit easier to search.

 

[Superbunnee]

Got a cloth/vinyl case that holds all 2017 Hybrid SE booklets/manuals which I leave on a bookshelf in the house. I don't think I've ever opened any of the booklets/manuals as I've PDF version of the them on my smartphone and iPad which i reference.

 

[sundevils]

I received a cheesy plastic like case from the dealer. It is very generic and says nothing about the RAV4. Quite a step down from the plastic case I got from my Hyundai, which at least identifies the car. And not even in the same league as how it is packaged with the Lexus.

 

[JuneBug]

I remember one automaker actually put an iPad in the glove box with all the manuals on it! It was the Hyundai Equus if I'm not mistaken.

Has nothing to do with Toyota, its the dealership's option. Always has been.
