2019-2020 Toyota RAV4 FULL Size Spare | Will It Fit?

I've has a ton of emails come in lately about the RAV4 and my guess that a full-size spare might fit. So what did we do? We went out, bought a wheel, had a tire put on it, and jammed it in the cargo area to see if it fits.

The older ravs were better when u have a flat tyre, just gotta access from the back easier then going inside under

[@nc3826]

there is no such thing as a flat tyre....mate

[@James-il3tq]

@@nc3826 "Tyre" is the most common spelling in the world.

[@James-il3tq]

Full size spares are becoming a thing of the past due to tires being more durable then they used to, more run flat tires being produced and auto manufactures doing their best to maximize fuel economy. 99% of people don't need a full size spare, which is why it makes sense for auto manufacturers not to include a full spare. Keeping a tire gauge and portable 12V air pump is more valuable and comvinent IMO. 95% of the time it'll get you home or to a repair center. 1/2 of people can't/won't change a flat but adding air, anyone can do.

I have an 08 Rav 4 with the outboard spare tire. A LOT of people complained and moaned about that outboard tire, but it allowed my Rav 4 to have a FULL size spare tire. It also means that I have a spare matching rim, no steel wheel for the spare. I have always liked the look of the outboard spare. More Jeep like. 😀 😁

[@Searchman212]

No way did people complain about that. The RAV4 had that outside tire until the 4th gen. It was made to be that crossover off road type vehicle. It completed the look. 3rd gen to me is best, besides the new adventure trim.

[@James-il3tq]

Most people are better served keeping a tire gauge and portable 12V air pump in their car. In the event of a flat you can air up the tire to get you home/repair shop. Most urban dwellers if they get a flat are within 20 mins from home and can have someone bring out the spare in the unlikely event of a flat. I prefer the extra cargo storage and bit of weight savings on daily commutes.

[@jlhrstv]

Thank you. This helped us a great deal. Also, if you remove the other spacer underneath the tire in the front the load floor will fit flush. Unfortunately Toyota has locked out the ability to program the 5th TPMS sensor in the US.

[@nathanmurphy5]

Great video. Thanks.

[@martinkrutz5698]

Rav4's have standard size spare wheels fitted here in New Zealand that is a match to the wheels fitted to the vehicle, i.e. if you get the trim with the black 18 inch wheels, you get a black 18 inch spare

The 2020 Rav4 in Australia can be optioned with a full size spare tyre for $300. The floor cover piece is slightly different however for those who select this option as the underside hard plastic instead has a ring indentation for the full size spare to fit snug.

Drove a 2019 RAV4 in Panama. Their roads can be very bad in a lot of spots, and their paved ditches are wheel killers if you fall in while turning too sharply onto a perpendicular road-which is what happened. It had a full size spare thankfully, and we were able to change it. It wasn’t uncommon to see drivers pulled over and changing tires often due to flats from potholes.

[@amosjsoma]

Aside from the obvious advantage of a full size spare tire, when you rotate your tires, with a full size spare you can rotate 5 instead of 4.

[@richardclark8017]

Some years ago I had a CR-V with an outside spare. At the time I was house shopping, entering construction site and had several flats in a few months. It was heavenly to have the matching outside full sized spare easily accessible. Like others no spare at all is a deal breaker for me. No spare, no sale.

[@robertknight4672]

I think 06 was the last year the CR-V had that. I drive a Honda Element we bought that year. Sometimes I wish we got to CRV instead just to have a full size spare tire. Unfortunately the elements spare tire well only accommodates a compact spare that came with it as the full size tire sticks above the floor line.

[@kostya3130]

In Australia it is an option to have a full size on the base hybrid. Previous generation it was also an option but on all trim levels. You would loose a little bit of cargo space because of the extra height.

[@austinkimbrell3548]

Hi Alex, thank you for the video! I'm curious (as I'm very interested in this car), how is the wind noise while driving at speeds 70mph+? When I test drove the car I found it to be a bit noisy and have read it as a common complaint online. The road noise didn't bother me, so I'm not concerned about that, just the wind noise.

[@OldDood]

That is very nice to know as I am still 'Looking' at which RAV4 model I want to get. To have a Full Sized Spare is needed in ALL vehicles. I usually get a flat when I am miles away from home or from my local repair facility. And do I change out my own tires anymore....NOPE. That is what AAA Gold is for. LOL

[@howtobebasic2122]

i'm glad you can still put a full size spare, in some cars there might not have space for a full size spare, therefor the trunk liner will be bulging up, if you can live with a bulge in your cars trunk then it's find for me and im sure other people will live with the bulge in there trunk.

[@lynneb.9564]

Great video, Alex. You mentioned that the 2019 RAV was a hybrid, 225/55/R17 tire shown. Do you know if the 2022 RAV TRD off-road model, stock tire size 225/60/R18 will fit? The question being that the rim is a little taller and the tire slightly wider. Thank you.

[@TheLanard]

I used to have a 1999 VW Passat GLX that had a full size spare with a matching rim. I had two flats (one in heavy rain) that I changed in no time and continued driving at regular speed. I never would've thought carmakers would take spares out completely on most cars.

[@MrDuncl]

My 2013 Golf can take a full size spare even with the boot/trunk floor at its lowest level.

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

The Trail version, and maybe the limited, have 19” wheels and if you run a tire calculator and Plug in the stock 19 and 17 sizes, has a slightly larger diameter than the rav with the 17” wheel and tire. Will the trail version, which we are looking at for the towing capacity, also take a full size spare so you think Alex?

[@brianusa394]

Having a full size spare is something we should always do when possible. I will be getting a Outback Touring xt shortly and I’m planning on doing the same as well as replacing the stock tires with something more suitable to my driving habits. Being stuck somewhere with a doughnut spare is something I would only recommend to my enemies.

[@laura-ann.0726]

And you CAN NOT drive an Outback or Forester on a compact donut spare at more than 5 mph, without risking damage to the center differential. I know, I owned a 2014 Outback for a few years. It's incredibly stupid for Subaru to sell Outbacks and Foresters with donut spares. Better they supply the car without a spare at all, that way people wouldn't have the means to drive on a donut and wreck the drivetrain in their car.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

For compact cars the compact (donut) spare is an acceptable alternative to a full size spare, but the inflation kit is just a bad joke. For full size cars and SUV/CUV a full size spare is the better solution, especially if you tow something. Tires are better than they have ever been, but tire damage and flats do happen. Good video Alex. If you get a flat on your RAV4 be sure to video the experience. Now days many people have no experience or knowledge on how to change a tire. In the past it was obvious you had a spare tire in your trunk......now with the spare and jack hidden many people have never even see the spare or may not know where the jack is located.

[@claytonroot806]

Interestingly, my Kia Niro Hybrid came with a Full Size Spare Tire in Canada BUT it is my understanding that such is NOT the case in the USA. Again, a vehicle designed for Global Markets where different options may be included for various countries.

[@TC-ps9sd]

I'm always surprised when people don't care (or don't know) that their vehicle doesn't have a spare tire, even a space saver. That tells me that they've never had a tire shred at highway speeds after a flat. Great work Alex - the fact that the RAV4 can fit a full size spare puts it on my short list.

[@kenc2257]

I've been in a vehicle (a pickup truck) where that happened, but it never happened to me, as a driver.

[@MrDuncl]

Tonight I drove past a BMW with its hazard lights on because the entire tread on one rear tyre had separated from the sidewalls and gone 6" sideways. That was actually in a 40MPH limit so I doubt if was mishandling. There was heavy rain and some areas with a couple of inches of water on the road. Could that wreck a fancy low profile tyre ?

[@tomjohnson47]

The 19" tires that come with higher trim levels (235) won't fit because they are 1cm wider. I have an adventure and had to buy a 17" rim with lower trim stock size (225). I also removed the small rubber block that the tire rests on at the bottom of the well. Fits perfect with 0 room to spare.

Thanks for this Alex. Wasn't sure of the tire size, I see in the comments you linked to a 225/65R17. Here in Australia we get that size on the base model only, step up Hybrids get 235/60R18. Might that extra 10mm (~3/8") of width work under the load floor? Btw. Toyota Australia offer a full size spare on the base model only

I just bought a Rav4 from Toyota Australia with a full-size tyre from the factory. It was a 300 dollar option. The cover is different, the underside is plastic and it's cut underneath to accommodate the full tyre. So it's not reversible and the trunk cover, of course, does not fit.

[@peteb9783]

I bought a 2019 RAV4 in the UK which came with what we call a spacesaver (donut to you) - I bought a full size matching alloy 18" wheel and matching tyre from my dealer and as you say it fits just fine if you don't mind losing the lower height for the floor and ability to store the load cover under there.

[@kthwkr]

Thanks for the demo. I went to the dealer and asked to look at the spare so I could evaluate if it would take a full size spare. But the battery in the showroom car was dead and the hatch latch is electric. They made no offer to get a charger for the dead battery so we could open the hatch. And upon further examination I determined that almost every car on the showroom floor had a dead battery. I asked something about the engine and it became apparent that the saleswoman only knew about Apple Play. I finally gave up and asked her some rudimentary questions about Apple Play and she had no idea what I was talking about.

Going from a 2009 to this 2019, it was disappointing to see how little storage it has. I like the idea of a full-size spare, but I can barely get a first-aid kit under there with the doughnut, and still that's only by skewing the tonneau cover. Don't get me wrong, I love the vehicle, but my spouse has allergies and a really short tissue box takes up 80% of the glove compartment.
