I plan purchasing a 2010-2012 Rav4, preferably with the v6, with plans to take it on a road trip spanning roughly 10,000 miles. There might be some days of 16 hours of driving and than five days of no driving, some dirt roads, and a ton of stuff in the car.
My immediate thought was “it’s a Toyota it can handle it” but I’m not sure how true that actually is? There isn’t a ton of information out there about reliable in that regard where it’s a years worth of driving in only a few months.
I’m meticulous about maintenance and I would make sure it’s bumper to bumper ready to go, and preemptively replace anything that could possibly go, I just don’t know if I’m being too optimistic.
Yep. They take some grief for being a little plain and not always having the latest and greatest tech, but they tend to wait until they feel they’ve perfected something to release it vs throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. The end result is relatively boring but bulletproof vehicles, especially the trucks.
