That looks really good in the bright sunlight. Be sure to protect that clear coat by hand waxing and washing/drying.

I sure am, had it now for one year (plus 7 days) 😁. Only hand wash and hand waxing

Trying to decide between a Silver Sky Metallic and a Ruby Flare Pearl 2020 Limited with Weather package and gray interior.

I have been driving a silver Toyota Sienna for the last 15 years, and love that color. The Silver Sky is a shade darker, more like a pewter silver but still nice and contrasts with the trim well. The Ruby Flare is quite a fun color, great contrast with the dark gray trim, but my concerns are it showing too much dirt, and fading. I've seen older red cars and they look so dull.

I know that it costs a bit more, and if body paint repair needs to be done, that could cost more also.

BTW, all my friends say silver is boring, and to go for a more snazzy color! I'm a young 62, fun loving, world traveling, single woman.

Anyone who has the Ruby Flare care to comment on how the color holds up over the years? Any opinions if I should stay with the tried and true (and boring) silver or splurge on the Ruby?

Hi, 63yr old recently retired married male and i bought the Rav4 Hybrid 'Cruiser' [ i think it's XSE in USA, Top of the range anyway ] for it's practicality [ i can fit a ladder in the back with room to spare ] so i understand your just down to color choice.
Bought the Ruby Red or 'Atomic Rush', with the Nutmeg [Cinnamon] Interior and friends comment on how nice the car looks and feel when they get inside. My wife love the color too. The 2 colors contrast very well and the nutmeg softens the red.
I also bought at purchase the dark bonnet stone protector, 4 dark weather shields for the rain and roof racks. We got the dark wheel trims in this model. Also added a Dark Red [Maroon] Dashboard Protector as the dash gets very hot in the sun.
Had the car 20 months, it's garaged, the Red has a metallic flare to it and looks like new. A spray painter informed me that the paint quality has improved in the last 20years. He said it sometimes took a year to go really hard due to the number of coats applied, but yours will be fully garaged so like mine it will look like a gem!.

Here in Australia we didn't get a big color choice and I've seen some nice silver like models. My gripe with grey and silver is that i had a very low speed 'head on' collison where a driver crossed in front of me at a set of lights and there comment was 'I didn't see you because of the color'.
Since then i've only bought white cars until the RAV4.
Added some pics to convince you!
