First 7 Accessories to Buy!! Toyota RAV4 2019-2023

[@jacquelinemundt4688]

Thanks for sharing this products it would come handy to keep the vehicle organized.

[@jonhansen4745]

Next thing on the agenda if it was me would be to fix the vinyl siding above your garage doors before a big windstorm comes along & tears it off your house.

[@smitheys]

Thanks! Not my house, but I think it was already tackled. I hope you got something out of the video, besides the siding?

[@az25blue]

I love this list, especially the liners!

[@RebirthBeyond]

Very helpful and thanks for taking the time to make this. Will be getting the RAV4 soon and will definitely grab some of the items you showcased. Cheers.

[@timwalker2425]

Sorry Found it. Glad to know about these.

[@yamagrow420]

Thanks for the video. My favorites are the center console tray and the floor/cargo mats.

[@smitheys]

No problem!! Yeah that console tray is a must and so are the mats. I didn’t think I would’ve liked the mats until I put them in. They were very thin. Thanks for watching!

[@patdawson3555]

I have a 2019 and love it

[@smitheys]

Awesome! Glad you like it. I really do too. Hopefully you got some ideas from the video, thanks for watching!

[@bruce3005]

You probably make some good money advising people on products to buy. I bought 2 of them. Thanks for the info!

[@smitheys]

I wish! I don’t make any money. I lost my Amazon account because of too many returns a few years ago…never knew that was a thing but IT IS. HAHA. Money has always been tight, so I only kept what I absolutely needed. Hence, returns. Hope you like them!!

[@stevepope5484]

Best addition we did was put a pet pad on top of the console pad/great /soft and better height.

[@esmokah]

I just picked up a 2021 adventure, great car!

[@smitheys]

Oh, awesome! You got the model I wanted. Hope it’s treating you well and you’re loving it!!!

[@Sandra-kk4tl]

I just got my Rav. Thanks for the info.

[@smitheys]

Awesome! Hope you like it and got some ideas from this video! Safe travels

[@mabeljoe4305]

If you sell your vehicle or trade your vehicle to a Toyota dealership why would you throw away the vehicle manuals? The person who buy the vehicle needs those manuals.

[@smitheys]

No need to take up space in my car when you can download them for free from Toyota. Most manufacturers offer a digital version for free nowadays.

[@cantamiguitarra3624]

@@smitheysNot everyone likes to read manuals online. I, for one, still like to hold the booklet in my hand and go thru it. Hold on to them elsewhere, but yea don’t toss them out…pls! The next owner may appreciate them, as I would. Thoughts to consider. And great accessories, you have presented, for my rav as well.

[@barbaratolefree6409]

Those manuals are so hard to read because they have all the options for all models. There's hardly any specific information for the vehicle you have, it all says "if equipped" and for gasoline and electric. I find better info on KZbin or just talking to other owners. But That's just my opinion. However, you have caused me to remember to put them back in the car if I get rid of it. Thanks

[@Sir_Fresh]

Throwing away the manuals actually decreases the value of the car but the dealerships won't tell you this. That's one of the main things they look for when trading besides the visual damage to the car.

[@smitheys]

Dealers will do anything to not pay you what your car is worth, but that’s why it’s important to do your research. Research on what you’re looking for, that value, your current cars value, and if there are any other vehicles like it in a certain radius (usually 200 miles). The manuals play very little in the negotiation. I’ve bought and sold over 60 cars in my life and manuals weren’t ever asked for.

[@artsteadman2230]

Double sided tape is available with a permanent side & a removable side. The perm side to the item thats to be installed. The remo side to the vehicle itself and it DOESN'T leave adhesive residue when removed. Its 3M 665

[@smitheys]

Wow, I did not know that! Thank you! I will be looking for it now. I thought it was one or the other, not both on one.

[@JR-pr8jb]

Nice!

[@albertolopez478]

Awesome video, doing this when I get mine!

[@smitheys]

Thanks, Glad I could help!

[@billdurr6829]

Got ‘em all except LEDS and bottom center console organizer

[@smitheys]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy them and find them useful!

[@pellep4035]

Some great tips, thanx alot 👍

[@ukbakrol]

Nice video, short and sweet!!

[@smitheys]

Awesome, thanks! Hope it gave you some ideas.

[@ChrisIsland]

"Toyota puts way too much plastic in these vehicles." *Proceeds to add even more plastic.* Just giving you a hard time man! 😂 We just got my wife a 2019 RAV4. Thanks for the ideas.

[@smitheys]

Haha, if you can’t beat ‘em… well I’m sure you know the saying.

[@artsteadman2230]

@ChrisIsland...despite all the plastic the RAV4 is the #1 sold vehicle in the USA

[@dankamoonz3901]

ussefull thanks. i got 2 of them and I am happy!

[@smitheys]

Awesome. Hope you enjoy!

[@aallan8830]

do the console organizer and drop in tray both work together?

[@smitheys]

Yes they do, no issues. And if you have an upgraded RAV4, the tray actually has a cut out for access to your glove box USB's!

[@jeremygavin4084]

I’m the same way. I’m always switching up. I own a rav4 but want I want a 4runner to do exactly what you do. Camper life. But I also like the Tacomas but the rav4 is more fuel efficient for me maybe in the next 2 hrs I’ll get a 4runner

[@smitheys]

Hahaha, the next 2 hours. Yeah the Rav has some good gas mileage especially the hybrid but I got the gas version. Yeah I rarely own anything longer than 6 months and I’ve had over 70 cars in my life. It’s bad, haha, I know. And if you want camper life… do it!

[@ChessInstructorSF]

Can the Center Console tray and the Center Console organizer work together? I mean if you use one you can also use the other as well at the same time, or will the lid not close? Thanks in advance for any information.

[@smitheys]

Yes they do, no issues. And if you have an upgraded RAV4, the tray actually has a cut out for access to your glove box USB's!

[@ChessInstructorSF]

@@smitheys thanks for the quick reply. I have placed an order and hopefully get organized soon. What do you mean by “upgraded RAV4” I do have a 2023 and it does have 2 USB ports in the center console which I use along the one next to the power outlet (aka cigarette lighter). When you use the term “upgraded RAV4” is that considered any model after 2018, because I think this is when the new design came out, in 2019. Still new to the RAV4, and I am still amazed by it!

[@smitheys]

Awesome, I hope you enjoy them! Yeah, Toyota definitely made the 5th generation RAV4's (2019-current year models) outstanding! And when I say upgraded, I mean upgraded options, different trim levels offering more, dealer add-ons, etc.

[@timwalker2425]

Where do I buy the liner that goes in the slot above the globe box? Everything I put there falls out>

[@utt2468]

Thank you very much.

[@chrisanthony144]

good job ! i had no idea these accessories existed.

[@smitheys]

Thank you kindly! Hope I gave you some ideas!!

[@richardk8054]

Does big mouth shelf gets in the way of usb hookup?

[@smitheys]

No, neither shelf affects the 12v socket or the usb.

[@karenhall2926]

What would you recommend for windshield wiper visor extensions for sun

[@claudiavargas1216]

Hi, where did you get your black door handle covers from?

[@michaelt2961]

Could you provide a link to the LED replacement lights? Thx

[@smitheys]

My bad, forgot that one! Yeah, it’s: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NHNMF9P?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

[@jeremyking3986]

Maybe I missed it, but why did you go from a 4Runner to a RAV4? I’m 6’3, I wish I could fit in a rav4. I think I would like the Mpgs better than a 4Runner, although I don’t think it can go everywhere a 4Runner can go.

[@smitheys]

Hey Jeremy, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I switch out cars every few months and because of this lifestyle it limits what I buy because I’m 6’2. Not as bad as 6’3!! Haha. I went to Carmax and measured and laid in every single car I was thinking about buying! lol. In the runner, my feet hit the back of the seat with the seats in driving position. In the RAV my feet hit with the seats a little past halfway forward. So I have to adjust the seat when I get in the front but I’m getting about 30 mpg in the rav (with A/T tires) and got about 15 (best case, usually flat highway) in the runner. The 4Runner is amazing at everything except the fuel economy. The rav4 is capable at everything, just not too far out with my setup. Hope this helps!!

[@MrMPRandGumbo]

Does the "big mouth shelf" block the 12 volt port in the back?

[@smitheys]

It does not.

[@Listen2me400]

Sun visor ideals??

[@smitheys]

What’s wrong with your sun visor?

[@stevepope5484]

Whats the rattle in the rear? Dealer supposedly fixed? Its like driving a Dodge truck. THE HOOD! Visible ity is terrible. Door post is stupid wide!

[@jimzimmerman5288]

Where does one but those led bulbs?

[@smitheys]

Everything that I bought and installed, I listed in the description of the video.

[@amjadmalik7285]

Where are the links. Anyone know?

[@bruce3005]

Did you check the description of the video?

[@henrytenden]

I don't understand why people keep using the vent mount!! It's BAD for your phone!! The heat will blow directly to your phone and can cause it to overheat ...

[@smitheys]

Hey, it’s not that serious, relax. For one, I drive thousands of miles a year (I think I’m at 40-50k this year, gotta figure it out) and I’ve never had a phone overheat from a vent. I did have one overheat when I left it on the dash and went hiking. That crap burnt my hand it was so hot. The second reason it’s not a big deal is because I don’t use the middle vents. Most cars heat up/cool down faster with the windshield and floor vents. The windshield is the biggest culprit. So I never have the vents toward my face open. Yeah, the face vents warm you/cool you down faster, but the top and bottom make the car nicer faster.

[@Man-q3p]

Where I can buy?

[@smitheys]

Hey! Everything in the video is listed in the description of the video.
