36k for this base model interior is a hard sell imo. Feels like Toyota just charges whatever they want nowadays, knowing that their fans will eat it up regardless of what the competition is offering. Love their reliability and exterior designs, but I'll look elsewhere!
The RAV4 is almost impossible to beat. It has enviable MPG's, which is amazing considering its high weight, and it will be very hard for Mazda to beat it. 36k is the sweet spot for the SUV segment; that will end up being 40k out the door; above that you would be sorely tempted to get a Tesla with the 7500 tax credit.
Having hard plastic on top of doors panels is ok cause you won't leave a mark of your elbow, i had a car with soft top panels and it was a eye sore. I'm driving a rav4 Le hybrid , a year now and no dent or marks were i put my elbow ,overall is a great vehicle. Cheers!..
There is a redesigned coming soon. I hope they improve on the material and keep all of the buttons especially knowing Toyota they will charge a lot for these and dealers are gonna mark it up.
I know Toyota and Honda are going for longevity over asthetic but I really wish they'd improve their interior tech. Their infotainment and dashes are boring in comparison to all other brands. Im surprised they dont still come with a tape deck or CD player. Its 2024 guys, sh'mon.
Yeah well unfortunately for your theory the rav sells out year after year … money talks and they could give a crap about the tech when it is a top seller every single year
Green is a very unpopular color for car / Truck/SUV buyers .. It is only favored by 0.08% of the population.. which leads to poor sales and demands on the retail market...😕
I was thinking the same thing. That Forrester and especially the Outback Wilderness models are the ones every other car manufacturer are chasing after.
I want one of these so bad my brother-in-law said he drove one in Dallas, Texas and he loved it best gas SUV he’s ever drove so that confirmed that for me I just wanna know should I wait till the 2026 refresh or get a used certified pre-on one
The silver trim on Toyota Rav 4s and Honda CR-Vs kills me... I hate it and don't get why we don't get a black trim option. And why no class 2 hitch receiver... Otherwise its a decent car, but I kinda hate this trim..the others are fine, but i think this could have used a bit more "outdoor" features like better materials for the seats, better hitch, remove the silver trim to make it more practical for outdoor stuff.
I like it and I agree with you, for the price they could up the ante with interior materials. Power assist back door and wireless charger would be a nice addition too. Even for a slightly higher price tag. Btw, what’s going on with the TRD Off Road RAV4?? I can’t find it anywhere!
I would go with a bycicle over another SUV or Crossover for Overlanding, so sick of SUVs they are everywhere man, PP don´t have taste anymore, buy a Sedan and put off-road tires on it just to be different... LOL
I don't know about you my guy, when you need to Zonk stuff you don't, like the signal light not led no front camera. If it's ganna do alittle off loading it should have a front camera then to kill it for me a cvt 🤔
@@charlesjackson1700 I knew I was going to trigger some Toyota fanboys with that comment. These 🤡s' just can't take any criticism about Toyota, but they like to 💩on other brands every chance they get. LMAO!
It's almost as if there will be a redesign next year. (Also, this car is awesome.) Only thing for this edition, is it should have a bit more features, it's basically a xle.
Love that moss green color for an SUV. Reminds me of my old 95 Grand Cherokee "Orvis Edition".
Nice vehicle no doubt. Too bad Joe already sold me an Outback Wilderness.
Also good to see Joe and crew doing well
I have the same exact vehicle right now, it’s Awesome! Love my Rav4! 🤙🤙
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
RAV4 is a great vehicle.
I’m so glad that you approve David!
The RAV4 is the most popular SUV
I think you may be right Anthony
If ford didn’t count commercial sales for their trucks the rav4 would sell more.
Has been for years now
Straight Facts
I prefer the 1986 Bronco II.

36k is nothing after all the inflation.

I just got one in September, highly recommended the Midnight Metallic Black, I’m not one typically for mom cars, but I am in love with mine.
15:47 I could even put my Nintendo Switch in there, so I can play some Mario Kart on the road.
PS: My favorite characters are Rosalina and Wario
I love the way you think!

Yes of course Joe & I would rather buy this.
I like it Joe, think the rims would look better all black than bronze but not a deal breaker.
I love your channel Joe Raiti
Thanks for being so supportive
Joe & Laurie I always enjoy your reviews on cars 🎉😅 you made through the storm
Really cool floor mats 😊
another good review as usual
Thanks my friend
I’d love to see this color on the 2025 RAV4 PHEV. Or the Calvary Blue. I also prefer the flat black over the gloss black.
I drove one its great! Love the color! You need to visit the twinkie factory! Btw that slot by the passenger is perfect for a subway foot long
Great review Joe & I am really like this SUV.
I don't mind having clothe seats but I don't like the hard plastic. I think the materials could have been a bit better.
Good call on the materials Omar
I love plastic
The materials are improved for the higher trim levels. Those have soft leatherette on all the doors from the armrest to the window.
There is a redesigned coming soon. I hope they improve on the material and keep all of the buttons especially knowing Toyota they will charge a lot for these and dealers are gonna mark it up.
@@MinhNguyen-wk5fr No redesign until 2026
needs a set army green weatherproof seat covers & a little beefier tires
Is the 2024 Joe Raiti a better car reviewer than all the others?
You are way too kind Nathan! Thank you for saying that!
@@RaitisRidesMy mother won't watch any other car reviewer but you.
I'm just glad that Toyota has learned to make more attractive front ends for their vehicles.
I love the green with copper wheels. Lots of brands are doing it now, so does that mean it's getting played out already?
I know Toyota and Honda are going for longevity over asthetic but I really wish they'd improve their interior tech. Their infotainment and dashes are boring in comparison to all other brands. Im surprised they dont still come with a tape deck or CD player. Its 2024 guys, sh'mon.

@@SME5724 wasnt really a theory, just a preference
@@MadFlavorz true so just swap out theory with preference….
*couldn't
@@Jcruzer70 ?
Old school Land Cruisers are still the coolest SUVs.
Color suits it well.
Outstanding Video As Usual 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Thanks 😊
Green is a very unpopular color for car / Truck/SUV buyers .. It is only favored by 0.08% of the population.. which leads to poor sales and demands on the retail market...😕
The RAV4 sets the standard
all this is,,is a subaru wilderness wanna be !! luv my 2024 forester widerness !! btw i check you out EVERYDAY,,luv the vids
I was thinking the same thing. That Forrester and especially the Outback Wilderness models are the ones every other car manufacturer are chasing after.
"Woodland edition!" But also heres some cloth seats.
I think he made a Wilson reference
This package is just OK. I opt probably for something else in a RAV4.
Shout out to the magic mushrooms in the backseat pocket 🤣 you’re hilarious bro!!!
I want one of these so bad my brother-in-law said he drove one in Dallas, Texas and he loved it best gas SUV he’s ever drove so that confirmed that for me I just wanna know should I wait till the 2026 refresh or get a used certified pre-on one
woodlands , badlands , their lands , your lands.
Potentially eat one of your family members...this really ripped my ribs off😂😂😂good work Joe for the facts and laughs
I like the green color and gold wheels. Must be the WRX Ghetto punk in me, I like blue wrxs with gold wheels.
Joe roasting his neighbor is the funniest thing I've ever heard
I wonder when the next generation is coming
2026 is my guess.
That is the million dollar question
@@Hschlick84you may be right
@Hschlickt84 ...Yes 2926..
the offroading video is awesome in ukraine with the Rav4 woodland

This has been produced for almost 6 years. Are they pulling a Tacoma and Tundra and waiting a few more years?

The RAV4 is an iconic SUV!
You are so very right about that
you just got a shout out from Doug DeMuro on his most watched UA-camrs.
Shout out Lori.
You’re from Tampa area I believe, hope things are too bad for you back home.
So basically a xle with different rims and carpet …
2026 Reveal at LA Auto Show Joe?
joey joe joe - is they ever gonna give RAV4 a new facelift? glad you didn't get drowned or blown away by tornadoes - me love you guys
p.s. - I gained 33 pounds at this stupid State Fair Convention, replied Joe Raiti
Everyone thinks you collect magic mushrooms now
CX-50 all day
That would be my choice Eric!
Rav4 Prime XSE is 71k CAD plus Taxes and other fee, extra warranty. Cash NOT ALLOWED , has to be finance. I'm in Canada Alberta.
Sure gonna see alot of these rugged looking RAV4s in your local Costcos and Walmarts
Or the local mall 😂
Tuck 2 wipers under that spoiler
I think it’s time for a redesign
Brst part of the review,is definitely,the magic mushrooms,lmfao.
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you
Hi, we have a new model its called Tobaru's new Ravback
Toyota VR
Oh yeah!
Mr Joe nissan rogue base model review date pls
Toyota is phasing out the Adventure and TRD-Off road for the 2025 trims.
That is nuts!
@@RaitisRides Yep, found out about it on kirk kreifels channel.
The RAV4 hybrid’s do not have a lithium battery excepte for the RAV4 prime
Thanks for that great intel.
Nice🇸🇦
It's a hybrid adventure
Toyota is so good that they decide they can still give their consumers 10 year old infotainemtns and gauges.
Pretty much!
The cloth seats are a fail. I would think they would mimic Subaru Wilderness edition... I have dogs and the cloth seats are a hard pass.
Cost cutting with Toyota has become really expected and really obvious.
Meh... CVT is never meant for off-road
2025 RAV should be redesign.
SOFT-ROAD NOT OFF-ROAD
I would go with a bycicle over another SUV or Crossover for Overlanding, so sick of SUVs they are everywhere man, PP don´t have taste anymore, buy a Sedan and put off-road tires on it just to be different... LOL
.... Outback Wilderness ... 🔥
Subaru Forester competitor.
A zonk for no forward facing camera
I don't know about you my guy, when you need to Zonk stuff you don't, like the signal light not led no front camera. If it's ganna do alittle off loading it should have a front camera then to kill it for me a cvt 🤔
2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE AWD Two Tone Bronze Woodland Special Edition!
You nailed it Scott! Thanks Man!
@@RaitisRides! No problem!
Rav4 has be the most unattractive looking SUV in the market today.

@@charlesjackson1700 🤡response. Just because you like the RAV4, doesn't mean others can't find it unattractive.
2:30 I hate those accent piece around the dog lights. Like a Japanese persons mustache or something haha
Wowwww😊
I’m so glad that you like this one
SUBARU DOES IT A BETTER WITH THE WILDERNESS
CX-50 eats the rav4
Maybe a bit premature for this one sided review? You don’t even have the CX-50 hybrid yet.
No wood in the Woodland? Boooooo!
I’d rather have soft tech seats vs trees 🌲 on the floor mats. Zonk.
Do not buy. Transmission overheats during tough off-road conditions.
😊
CX-50 by a mile
36k then tax and title cost
no features at all and cloth seats . Toyota starts ripping people off
No leather seats? Ugh 🙄
That Green with the colors of the wheels is so pas e' Ugh, ugly. Id rather have a Nissan Rock Creek addition
the Mazda looks better.
Toyota is a boring car 🚗. It is great and reliable, but to predicted.
Wanna-be Offroad, good for Home Depot.....
Or Lowes
Outdated design
It’s only 5 years old. Interior is a little dated. Not the outside imo. Simple. Reliable.
Still looks more futuristic than the new Honda Accord.
Love the outside, but the interior feels it’s been around a while!!
It's almost as if there will be a redesign next year. (Also, this car is awesome.)
Only thing for this edition, is it should have a bit more features, it's basically a xle.
The opinion of a 1991 Ford Explorer owner LMAO🤣
Cx-50 is less mommy vehicle.
To call any vehicles an off road, they all need an independent suspension. This Rav4 doesn't have one.
Wrangler have that? 😏
Thanks for sharing you input on this one
@@re14437not at all
*Yuck, looks like a Subaru* 🤮
First🎉
I appreciate your dedication
