Out of curiousity I just checked Fitzgerald's website for inventory. They have 48 RAV's listed .. not 1 V6 limited with leather. In fact, there isn't a single V6 limited.

Do you suppose that Toyota was caught off guard by the demand?

You would think the regional dealers would put 2 and 2 together and figure out that LIMITED = Leather seats..

When I selected my Limited it was down to getting one in the regional build ahead options queue or wait until hell froze over to get a custom one with leather seats put into the factory build process.

I am of the opinion it is the regional dealers that decide what build ahead options go with what demographics they sell to not Toyota mandating what the dealers get..

RAV4 profits vs Highlander profits

Perhaps Toyota does not want to sell many V6 Limited RAV4s, since the Highlander is much more expensive?

Actually, the Highlander is being discounted to the point that it's price competitive with the loaded RAV.

interesting ow few limiteds are made, yet a large % of forum members have limiteds.

That's because the next gen Highlander comes out the end of the year.

But I think the new highlander will postpone the date to mid-2007 (2008 model) cause the new sport model line just release to the market.
