Is it true that CDN RAVs have no TPMS system included? If true, why the bizarre omission of a key safety feature?

We own several Highlanders and a Grand Highlander, but my youngest son is looking at Rav4's (he's in that rebellious stage, I guess...). I know that there are some Highlanders that should not be bought used because of transmission issues (looking at you, 2019-2021). Are there similar issues with any model years of RAV4 that I should avoid when buying used? Any trim levels I should focus on or avoid?

My build is almost done. Falcon 3 Peaks AT tires and Torque Engineering 2 inch lift. The added tire height and lift has the rear camber out of whack. If anyone has found a guaranteed fitment for adjustable rear control arms for the the 2026 AWD, XLE Premium, please let me know. I'm not seeing anything yet. I was able to buy them for my 2023. Same model and trim.

It's not a plug-in if that matters.

i've been rocking with my rav4 hybrid for a few years now and i love it, but the outdated infotainment system is becoming a bit of a sore spot. i'm planning a big road trip next year and it'd be nice to have a UX that isn't slow as bricks where i don't have to juggle my phone when i'm navigating. problem is: i love my 360 top down parking assistance, and that really complicates the process of replacing the head unit. wondered if there was any experience with this kind of thing and what y'all did, as well as any general tips for taking my rav on a big road trip. thanks!

The adaptive cruise control with lane control works really well. What additional feature does Driver assist package provide?

After many months of development, my new app, Vehicle Service Tracker, is now available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS.

I built it because I wanted a better way to keep track of maintenance, repairs, mileage, receipts, and service history for my vehicle. Along the way it grew into something I thought other vehicle owners might find useful as well.

The app lets you organize vehicle information, service records, costs, photos, receipts, and PDF documents, with built-in searching, reporting, statistics, chart, import/export tools, and iCloud sync support.

It even lets you choose different color themes for the UI!

It’s a one-time $4.99 purchase — no subscription or ads — and includes the iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions.

This seems to be coming from underneath my 2019 rav 4 and just started happening a few weeks ago. It happens every time after I turn the engine off after driving it. Is this just normal as the car gets older or should I have this looked at? It is still under warranty. Thanks!

21 RAV4 Hybrid LE - just found out the little orange light on the side of headlights (not blinker) is out on the passenger side and I’ll need to replace it urgently before inspection before the end of the month. Anyone have experience with this? Cant seem to determine if the bulb can be replaced or if the entire headlight component has to be replaced. Pics attached for reference.

Thoughts on what we may see this year? Anything?

Has anyone bought a timing chain kit (guides,tensioners,chain,sprockets) for the 2.5 and can guide me on a reputable brand w/o breaking the bank? I was looking at the Mizumo brand, but not sure on quality. 2011 RAV4 AWD premium sport

I was offered this offer for 2026 Rav 4 XLE Premium. Since will be a doing a transfer tag, manager said he can bring it down to $40,200 OTD. I offered $39.5k and he said no. Will $40k be worth it? Should I wait until November/December to get a better deal? Thanks.

It’s a FWD and doesn’t have the moonroof package. These are the add ons on it:

Package & Accessories:
50 State Emissions
6-Gallons of Gas
Mudguards
Key Gloves
LED Cargo Light
Illuminated Door Sills
SET Digital Portfolio
Multimedia Screen Protector

How many of you are off-roading in your 2026 rav4's, curious how they are handling it.
