Waiting on a Lunar Rock Hybrid XLE to be born anytime.. has a Kentucky vin so it shouldnt take too long to get here. Was a lucky lucky find! Thank you so much for the concise and quick run through

[@brianruperti]

Very very lucky find. Take good care of that sweet car. And thank you for watching! 🙏🏼

Is the Hybrid slower to warm up the cabin in the winter ? Great tutorial though.

[@brianruperti]

I find that they warm up just fine. Thanks!

[@3636lk]

Great video! Is it OK to shift from normal to sport while moving or do I have to stop then switch?

[@brianruperti]

You can do it while driving! No need to stop

How to enable PKSB(Parking Support Brake) in 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid. I didn't find that option

[@brianruperti]

Go to this video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKWfq2rjtOsmJo And when watching that video, go to time 35:16

[@madhusudansharma344]

how come it shows 576 miles range. Mine shows only 510 miles

[@brianruperti]

It’s calculated off of current gas mileage yours may be lower due to driving style or vehicle demand higher during those drives.

[@roxxigirl1320]

I just bought this exact rav4 today site unseen. It’s coming from Japan and sitting at port. I’m told it will be delivered in three weeks 🤞can’t wait. My trade in is a 2009 rav4 with only 27,000 miles. Runs great interior is brand new, but because of age it’s getting some rust. So sad about that although I do want the amenities the new one will offer. Great video. Thank you.

[@brianruperti]

Congrats on making the move to an amazing car!!! My ruby red flare Pearl customers all LOVE their cars. From Japan is sweet!! And yes I understand the sentimental value. The updates will be enjoyed. Just make sure you give the 2009 her proper goodbye 🙏🏼 and the next owner will treat her well.

[@bigfootswatching9986]

My 2021 Xle in Midnight black Metallic will also arrive in 3 weeks......can't wait! I currently have the 2019 Rav-4 Adventure which looks super nice, however I'm tired of it and want this new 41 mpg vehicle!!

[@christina5588]

does the headlights have a delay to turn off...

[@brianruperti]

Yes. This is a courtesy to see where you’re walking at night. This can be adjusted with: Menu>settings>vehicle>vehicle customization>lights settings>headlights timer.

Everything is clear. Can we remote start this car or we have to go in and press push start? If not, is there any way to install remote start

[@brianruperti]

If your car has remote start your window stick will say “Audio plus” or “premium audio” on the *interior* section. Then you’ll be able to start the car by locking it 3x in a row and holding on the 3rd until the car blinks.

Which package is the missile launcher in? Thank you!

[@brianruperti]

That’s a AMT package which stands for advanced military technology package. You have to apply for it by proving how bad the drivers in your area are. It shoots large nerf missiles.

Hi Brian it was nice to see you today. This is exactly what I got in Blueprint. Which is your favorite color for the Rav4? I hope they get the green like the Cross Corolla! I pick mine up at the end of the month hopefully!

[@brianruperti]

Hey Roy nice to see you as well. You got a nice car! My favorite color for the RAV4 is Lunar Rock. Black is my second. Ruby Red Flare my 3rd. The Cypress Green would look stunning on the RAV4 and would be my #1. And I’m sure you’re excited for it!

[@rickt1951]

Dude awesome, precise and quick thank you. I get my 2021 xle hybrid today and I traded in my 2021 rav4 xle sport for it.

This is exactly like my rav 4 absolutely love it 8n getting 44 miles per gallon

[@vickieann1668]

Thanks Brian. Is there a big difference between the XLE and the Limited (Hybrid)? I have a 2012 RAV Limited with 107k miles. Thinking about trading it in for a Hybrid.

[@brianruperti]

There is a big difference. That’s where you see a lot of the awesome technology appear.

[@VanessaVortex]

Trying to decide between getting an XLE or the prime. I know the prime is hard to get, but it's just a matter of waiting right? Also do you think getting the XLE premium is worth the jump in price?

[@brianruperti]

If you’re considering an XLE prem and a Prime go prime. The prime has a better hybrid system and a better drive and is more refined, faster, and saves more gas. Plus you’ll love it’s style more and more every single day. Order one now and go with red or silver!

How do I turn on AWD button that helps when it is snowing?

[@brianruperti]

So it’s AWD on its own. The older (gas) models had a differential lock button but it’s no longer needed in this car. Just drive it how you would and you’re all set. Depending on your region you may have a “snow” button. All that does is take you off in 2nd gear to reduce wheel spin and enhance grip during a launch. Hope that helps!

[@sujitgurung5243]

@@brianruperti The vehicle had all the same buttons as the one on the video above. I’m guessing it doesn’t have one as it was from the eastern region. Thank you for the video, it really helped a lot on the other Specs this vehicle had!

I like everything in my 2021 Rav4 except the LTA. I have to fight the computer to keep the car centered in the lane and eventually turn this option off. Very disappointing

[@brianruperti]

Are you keeping your hands on the wheel or leaving the car to stay center on its own? Because it’s specifically designed to not be left on its own. It’s actually designed to turn off if the driver is not keeping their hands on the wheel. It’s only an “assistance” to normal driving. Hence the name. Lane trace assist. That’s only if what I’m thinking is correct, which I am guessing you’re leaving the car on its own without holding the wheel.

[@mizantednioc]

@@brianruperti I always keep my hands on the wheel so you assumption is incorrect. I said that i always have to fight the computer to make the car stay centered ... This bad behaviour happens when both LTA and cruise control are ON. LTA by itself work normally. To me it's either a bad program or a bad sensor.

[@brianruperti]

@@mizantednioc yea that’s not normal. Typically the car can stay very centered.
