Hi All, So I want to pull an enclosed trailer with the RAV4 EV, but as you all know it doesn't come with the neccessary stuff to pull a trailer. I installed a trailer hitch in the back already and have been using it for a cargo rack and bike rack and all that good stuff. Now I need to pull an...

So here we go. It is not heating up and I suffer from cold ass syndrome so it would be nice to get it fixed. I have the Toyota Platinum warranty until late 2022 and now I am wishing I picked up an extra 2 years for it. Do you guys know if the heated seat mechanisms are covered? Or is it one of...

Hello Thinking on removing the passenger seat. Can I do this without getting error codes? Also, do I have to do any reprograming when I re install it? Do I have to unplug any cables like heated seats? How Will the passenger air bag behave? Will it need reprograming?

Hi, Been driving the Rav4 EV more often now and spending a good amount of time charging it back up.. Today I spend about 7 hours at a j1772 plug with the car on and the deep cycle botched almost died out. Couldn't turn on the car until I turned it off for a while then tried to turn it back on...

I was wondering if it does could we not maybe weld a light weight cargo carrier to the hooks so it is on the front of the RAV4 EV? Essentially a front facing cargo carrier? Do you guys think it would be able to hold some decent weight?

My right tire is getting low on air and I did not want to go to the gas station. I pulled out the compressor that has the rav4 ev but I read the instructions and it seems it only works with the sealant bottle. So you can't run it by itself just to send air. It seems to have a max psi of 50 or...

I was looking at the car 12v which I upgraded to agm and it looks to me like you could fit an extra 2 batteries next to it if you were to install a self of some sort on top of the cooling pipes. Also, the cooling pipe that joins in to some sort of router appears to merely be bolt on to the frame...

Hello all, I am looking into a 12v car battery monitor and stumbled on this one from amazon https://www.amazon.com/bayite-6-5-100V-Display-Multimeter-Voltmeter/dp/B013PKYILS/ Looking at The diagram I see that they want the shunt to be placed between the battery negative and the chasis ground...

I am trying to think ahead and I am wondering if it would be better to sell the RAV4 EV with some Ext Warranty left to it or wait till the Ext Warranty runs out then try to sell the RAV4 EV? What do you all think would be the best route to take? There really isn't anything better than the Rav4...

EDIT: That's weird my original post was not complete. I edited and it is now showing my full LED light list. It was auto hiding half of my orignal post. Don't know why and I wasn't using BB code. I had to disable bb code and smilies so it would stop doing that. Now my full post is showing...

Hi All, Anyone know what the cost for a used rear seating bench is for the rav4 EV? I think the benches are the same for the gas model as the ev? If so what is the year model range the bench is good for? I'm considering on selling mine if I remove it and use the rav4 ev strictly for cargo + 1...

I'm going to install a tow hitch on my rav4 ev and I noticed Tony installed the Reese Towpower 51157 Pro Series Class III Hitch, but looking online I see CURT gets mentioned often and that it has a really good history and quality...

What are your thoughts on putting wider wheels at the front only? The rear wheels do not provide any propulsion So they would not help at take off. Do the rear wheels affect the odometer or only the front wheels? Wider front wheels would add more weight and help with traction. Rav4 Forum...

Saw a youtube vid on how to remove the reaR bench. Its easy 4bolts and folding cable disconnect but would doing so void my warranty?

Hello, I just hit 50,000 miles on my 2014 rav4 ev and decided to tony test it. I charged to extended range then drove back home 1.2 miles at low residential speeds. I parked @ home then unplugged the 12v. 2 hours later I come back and replug the 12v. Pressed the brake pedal and pushed start...

I normally use regular N but at times i wish it were instant with out wait. Well turns out going to r at speed becomes instant N. Kind of nice to go in to N with out wait. I also wish the rav4 ev had some setting to do this auto.

Well, this is the second time the rav4 ev has made this noise when I am turning the wheel. It's hard to describe but it sounds like a loud metallic howl of some sort. Seems to happen when I am turning the wheel. I turned right, I don't recall if it was in the same direction last time. It's been...

So checked coolant and it is a little past low again. Last i saw this was last year before a van cracked my right headlight. The toyota collision center was nice enough to change the traction battery coolant and full flush. It has been about 9 months and now the coolant is a little past low...
