That is a great car.
I had a 2004.
Its fucking ridiculous. I redlined it all winter going sideways on its awd system that makes audi boys seethe. I never changed oil. I never took care of it, only beat it.
And it kept trucking, never showing up a cel. It’s incredible. People who think “german cars are reliable” should really get a beat up gen2 rav4 and ignore its maintenance for a decade.
2001 rav4, original engine/trans
Same with my 2002. If you get another one, skip the 3rd gen entirely.
What’s wrong with 3rd gen? Mine was great until a Silverado decided it wasn’t 😂
Bro this comment got me weak.
May both sides of your pillow be cool forever.
I’ve got an 03 with 113k original engine. Trans needed a rebuild because of the ECM problem unfortunately.
