A Baby 4Runner or Bust? // 2020 Toyota Rav4 TRD Off-Road Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The new Bronco Sport will likely be this 2020 Rav4 TRD Off-Road Editions biggest rival, so I test it in the desert to see if this thing is worth of the TRD Off-Road badge.

    Just picked up a 2021 TRD off-road for 33K. Which to me is the perfect price point for this vehicle. I have owned many wranglers and 4runners and since I spend more time on the highway wanted something more versatile with better mpg. I have to say this is so enjoyable to drive and with a tune to juice up that 4 cylinder I think this will be a really fun rig. It gets a lot of flack from the online off-road community but so far I’m very impressed with this baby. And Sarah, a pleasure as always to hear your voice.

    Going through your back-catalogue of car reviews, having just seen the Rav4 Prime prior to this, I got to say this one looks so much better. It has a more purposefull design and not just a ton of random styling threwn on top of it, like that Prime (and frankly most other Rav4s) do. I like purposefull design as much as I hate styling for the sake of styling, just to fill out every last otherwise blank space on the car body. If I was shopping for a Rav4, this would be it. And don't worry, Sarah - your jokes are always fire! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!

    Fun review! Like that you actually drive and push the vehicles. Just picked up a 2023 Rav4 Hybrid Limited. It has all the same features except the tires and red shocks. It was about the same MSRP as this TRD package. Our daughter will be using it primarily on road. We could always upgrade to more agressive tires like we did for our Escape Hybrid. Wish we could have found a prime, but 219 HP and the instant electric torque work pretty well.

    It takes off faster if you shift the gears yourself to keep the RPMs up to have max HP. It is great for on and off-roading long as you know how to drive it.

    Sarah’s right... needs power upgrade along with the rally shocks, wheels & tires. At least intake and exhaust. It handles great, needs more thrust. And a more stout front bumper with tow hooks & metal skid plates.

    Nice video Sarah, will be subscribing. I have this RAV4 and really enjoy it (except had a random battery power drain so they had to reset the DCM, update firmware 🙄). Aesthetics are nice on it, you don’t see your vehicle at every stop light. I agree they could have put more into it to differentiate it from a regular RAV4 but watch them try to make a RAV4 TRD Pro one day lol. Color is beautiful. Sweet powder coat black matte rims. Nice beefy Falken tires, but would like them wider. City driving is acceptable, peppy and my off road experience is likely going to be the pot-holed awful streets in New Orleans which it handles well. I went with slightly less options (no winter package, no extra JBL speakers) so able to get it around 36K before TTL. Need to get a trailer hitch. 2021 has a skid plate, but yea they should have more clearance on the thing. Damnit I think I bought a coolish mall cruiser lol

    I was taught to drive up the dirt road hills in reverse if the small front wheel drive car isn't making it in a forward gear. It puts more weight in the driving tires. This AWD on this Rav4 is probably front wheel biased, so yeah it makes sense it would be happier driving uphill in reverse gear.
