Considering it's not designed at all to go off-road and is on crap all-season tires, it did better than I expected.

[Marbind]

I see too many comments of people that don’t know anything about vehicles and what Toyota did here.

Toyota gave us a compact SUV that is the 3rd fastest vehicle on their fleet, with almost 40mpgs combined and capable of going 42 miles without using a drop of fuel.

What other vehicle out there exists that does this and starts at $40k?

[curtisblair]

That’s a smart thing Toyota did with these . Even if it’s not very off road capable, it’s more than most people need. The smartest thing is a real gas motor with the electric too!

[pontiac]

As a rav4 prime owner, this was a bunch of fun to watch! Never knew it could do that! Thanks for the video!

[wortex]

i did buy rav4 prime 2020 and put 17 inch wheel and 255/65/17 tyres ! its perfect, its more fun its better looking its softer its more capable, its fun on the gravel,

One of these used with low miles recently sold for $60, 000+ somewhere in the US. The economy is insane. Can’t wait for these bubbles (car loans, mortgages, student loans, business loans, commercial real estate) to burst. It’ll be hard when they do, but that has to happen for prices to stabilize

[pinkipipe]

Yes, it’s a great Off-Road Suv . We love it!

[RoguePlanetStudio]

Put some WR g4 tires on it or at least the milstar 365aw tire then you'll see the AWD system do some real work. You don't go trail running in bowling shoes. Tires matter.

[scottboyd]

This is absolutely the small SUV I would purchase with the hybrid system, which is where I believe we will be heading in the future more. All electric just doesn’t work and as we have seen by a ship in the Atlantic Ocean, they are very unpredictable and will catch fire. Down goes a ship, but the news media stopped talking about it. Hmmm?

[enice]

Slap some Michelin CrossClimate 2s on that bad boy and it’ll be a breeze 6:53

[richfarfugnuven]

I live near these guys, winter tires are key here if you want to venture anywhere near the mountains...

[atmartens]

I like the Rav4 Prime a lot. The only thing that "bugs" me is the brake lights. Why are they so tiny? They look like just a single dot. Other then that, it did pretty well for the tires put on it.

[unclebob]

great video Tommi, Rav 4's have always been decent in the snow and ice, the Prime really showed its capability on the trail full of ice/snow, tires were its achilles heel and a set of Michelins or Bridgestones dedicated snow tires the results would have been night and day different, awesome job testing it out, my brother in law has an older Rav 4 V6 that has the optional rear locker, although it only works up to 25 mph or maybe a little less, i was surprised how good it did this past winter and he does run a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks and he never even came close to getting stuck and this winter was our 2nd highest snowfall recorded in Winnipeg since 1881 and it has just started to melt nice this week, awesome video 👍

I am selling my 2000 RAV4, now that i have recently bought a used 2021 Prime. I think 2000 was the last year the 4's had the button that locked in ALL 4 WHEELS! NOT for driving, only to be used when you got stuck, and man did it work great, saved my ass several times!

[joelarson]

you guys should buy one of these and put some off roads on there, make a series out of it

[hadesomegamoto]

Nice to know I can take my Rav4 Prime on snowy trails. I did buy a set of Falken Wildpeak take offs from a Rav4 Adventure. Not much different than the SE's Dunlops but the sidewalls look beefier.

[AB-X]

Lol. Those tyres are so bad as winter tyres that they are sold as summer tyres in Europe.
Throw a set of 255/55R19 General AT3's on it and it would be a night and day experience.

[kevinblock]

Usually saying “figure it out Toyota” works to get you out of a stuck situation 😛

[alextube]

It ok because this shows me how potent one with Michelin x ice tires could be...

[hereigoagain]

Nice! Why do I watch these when my off-road is missing my driveway? I hope Subaru sees it and decides to provide you an early Solterra to test :)
