MODERATORS
If this had come out 5 uears ago, it would have been really interesting. The last generation of toyotas has been less than reliable see tacos eating transmissions, tundras eating motors.
But Rav4s are fine.
Thats because the rav4 drivetrain hasn't really changed in 20 years. Hell they're still using the 2GR-FE from 2006.
I mean, the 2gr isn't the greatest either, they used to eat timing chain guides iirc. Its better now though afaik. Hell, our highlander has 275k on it and its doing fine.
The RAV-4 only comes with the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine in this generation.
