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.

    I bought a 2023 RAV4 in March and absolutely love it. Outside of picking up a cargo net and routine maintenance I haven’t had to worry about anything with it. Switched after a decade with Ford’s and the difference is night and day!
