    We have the XLE Premium with the cold weather package. The heated steering wheel gets hot within a mile of leaving home. The lumbar support has actually helped me get over a week long lower back ache. I usually drive my old Tundra '07, but took the Rav4 on a 2 hr drive, cranked up the lumbar support, back ache gone! I had the seats on low heat too.

    The Premium has SO MANY MORE FEATURES... this video compares a highly upgraded XLE to the Premium... but the standard has way less. THAT would have been a better comparison. I wish the one I just bought was $30k... but for the 2021 in the current market, I paid $46k, including dealer upgrades, $5k over MSRP due to scarcity and the extended warranty. Still super happy that I went with the Premium. It's amazing.

    I didn't know that larger wheels also meant more ground clearance. I always thought that the larger wheels were offset by lower profile tires. Is there something in the way of specifications from Toyota that show this? I ask because I just messed up the front part of my car on a curb, and an looking for my next vehicle to have a higher ground clearance.

    • @user-tb7rn1il3q
      @user-tb7rn1il3q 3 роки тому +3

      That is not totally true in this case. The outside tire diameter is larger on the premium. The base trims of the RAV4 have plenty of clearance to avoid scraping parking stops. The premium only has 0.2 inches more clearance. The base trims get better mpg and are quicker since there is less rotational mass.

    The base 5 spoke wheels are very easy to clean, the 19's take some tedious work. And the 17 inchers provide a very cushy ride, due to the fat, meaty tires.

I got the cold weather package as well and only wish I had gotten the upgraded stereo technology package with the remote start. Actually if I had it to do over I'd probably go all out and get the Limited. But overall no regrets. It's going to be a great daily driver for me.

    Looking to eventually upgrade to something bigger than my current ‘16 Camry, and since I am looking to stay with Toyota, I’ve got my heart pretty much set on a RAV4. Since I have most of the niceties that I could get in my Camry aside from dynamic cruise control, emergency braking, and the JBL sound system, when the time does come, I’ll likely go with something like an XLE Premium or Limited. Definitely planning on scheduling a test drive of one of the dealers in my area, and I’ve been hearing lots of good things! No wonder you see a ton of these (and also older RAV4s) on the road!
