Few years back you took a Hybrid Rav4 up some pretty steep hills and it killed it! So, unless that has changed, I say stick to the advice of buying a Hybrid Rav4 to get that low end torque since they don't have a proper 4L. Bottom line tho, is the TRD Rav4 is just an appearance package. It does not have the DNA like its bigger relatives.

I don't know why Toyota even bothered with a TRD Off-Road trim if they weren't going to clamp the center and/or rear diff in at least one of the modes. The front airdam should be detachable too.

I know this rav4 is more compact than subcompact, but I just got a compass upland and I am very happy with it's off-road performance given the size and price. They actually give it decent clearance, and more important for me where I live in cross-ditch central, good approach, skid plates, and decent departure+breakover as well. Those are what I run into before power and traction limits, typically, and it's the only vehicle in the class to give two hoots about angles.

Great review. Very consistent with DrivingSportsTV review. I hope Toyota turns this feedback positive and makes the next version with better gearing, and more wheel cavity for larger tires. Honda did it right with their gearing choice. I bet a Honda Passport will rip through all the same courses this thing hit. A unibody can fair very well with the right gearing and (virtual) locking differentials -- just look at the Defender and Passport. Hope they offer rock sliders, like the Tundra TRD Pro, or at least, mounting points that can handle aftermarket rock sliders. Also this wheelbase isn't so long, only about 106", about the same as the FJ Cruiser. 4Runner is about 109.8". 4-door Wrangler is about 118"

Let's face it... most people buying a Rav4 won't be off-roading seriously hard. But I have to say, I think it did really great for what it was. Needs more back wheel torque action. Honda is better at that. Also, brake traction control is not as good as locking clutches in the rear like Honda or Ford Bronco Sport. I'd like you to test a Honda Passport over the same conditions as I think Honda I-VTM4 is a little more superior to Toyota's. Would be a great study! Thanks for the great vid Tommy!

I never measured however. I've bought 1996, 2004 and 2009 ravs new. Ran my 2004 over 400,000 mi. still ran great and no rust when I traded it. Hardley garaged it but it sat on cement mostly.

I drive around a 240D all day and while, sure I'm at sea level, I feel like the engine or computer was holding the RAV4 back for some reason. I can crawl up any hill here in San Francisco if only in 1st gear (and the hills here are pretty steep sometimes). I wonder if it's just an issue of rev limiting at low speed combined with poor front traction on steep slopes, especially those loose dirt or low-traction logs. Not sure why they tuned the car that way. You'd think they'd let you give it some real beans when you're trying to get unstuck.

AWD especially doesn't work without traction control. Only full-time 4WD works without traction control. Yes, I know permanent(F.T) 4WD seems very similar to AWD but it isn't mechanically speaking, and it shows in performance. Full time 4WD is not engineered for high speed cornering on road. And AWD is not engineered for off road. Always pay attention to the drive train badge ppl ! The off road trim Rav 4 did pretty good.

My FT4WD V8 4Runner handles corners very nicely. It's no sports car, but it's still fun in the twisties. The IFS helps.

What are the chances you can test the Explorer Timberline and Acadia AT4 on this course? Both are big sellers in their segment and I'm sure people would like to see their capabilities.

The Timberline uses a lame clutch pack instead of a traditional transfer case to transfer power to the front wheels, so the system still is vulnerable to overheating. Which other youtube channels have proven. It would have been so easy for Ford to install a traditional transfer case and proper low range in the Explorer, but they chose the cheap route using a clutch pack. GM is extremely finicky about publishing the capabilities of their awd sytems. GM does not currently have an Acadia AT4 in their media fleet as far as I have been told. They have no interest in marketing their awd based systems as even remotely capable of off road, despite the badging.

Many people blame the Subaru CVT for poor offroad power delivery, but it's not the CVT. It's the TCS/VSC that cuts power. Install a rear diff-locker and a newer Subaru climbs much better...while still using the same CVT.

I’ve climbed the snowey Rockies in Colorado in heavy snow storms on I70, as well as steep snowey parking lots in rental Rav4s on snowboarding trips, and they always did amazing. I’ve actually had a total 180 of experience with the Rav4 on off-roading situations compared to this video as well which is why I wound up buying one.. But I will say- I agree that this thing shouldn’t have a “TRD Off-Road” badge.. Save yourself $10k and just buy a regular RAV4. This trim is a total money grab from Toyota, basically an appearance package.
