    Best review for the 2017 Rav4 XLE that I found in UA-cam! I bought mine 4 days ago and I feel like I've already read the whole manual because of this video. Thank you for all that you do! This video deserves to be "pinned" on top of UA-cam's search results for Toyota Rav4 XLE reviews.

    This is excellent , I just bought one of these yesterday and the salesman didn't even demo the vehicle. They just handed the keys to me and said to take it for a test drive, and when I returned we discussed the price and that was it. lol . Oh, and I did buy it used at a Toyota dealership

    Brock, you are the STUD! I have this exact RAV4 and now I can really enjoy all it has to offer. The Owner's maunal (which looks like an encyclopedia) is marginal, at best. This video answered all my questions. and should be played on an endless loop in all Toyota dealership waiting rooms - so all this great information gets waterboarded into owners, and salespeople alike. Thank you so much.

    hey car guy, great video! same exact car and color my wife and I just purchased, except we have the all wheel drive version. quick question, we have no CD player in ours, is this something you've seen or heard of often? just thought it was strange for a 2017 car with no CD player. thanks in advance.

    Thank you so much for uploading a very useful review of this vehicle. After I watch your review video, I was more knowledgeable than sales person, indeed I bought it last week. Keep up your great work!

    I was surprised to see it has a sunroof but not blind-spot detectors or cross traffic warnings.

    Best video if you own or just bought a Toyota RAV4

    Looking at getting my first new car, my old ford focus is starting to really fall apart so In september I'll be upgrading. Been looking at used cars to sort of filter the options ran into the RAv4 (a 2015) liked it, figured Id look at the new cost and I was mostly impressed by it.
    This video answered all of my questions but 1. It looks like there are slots for a privacy screen of some kind in the cargo space, is that accurate and if so does it come with the vehicle?
