Read on to learn more about the RAV4 and stop by our dealership if you want to get behind the wheel.

A Rugged SUV Ready for Adventure

The 2020 Toyota RAV4 is equipped with a rugged Dynamic Force 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that’s armed and ready to help take you through a variety of situations. It generates 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque for a commanding presence that can haul up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped—perfect for road trips with your lightweight travel trailer.

Available Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD ensures you have a stable ride wherever you roam by managing power distribution to wheels needing the most grip. It pairs with Multi-Terrain Select, which provides Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, Snow, and Normal driving modes to regulate wheelspin, braking, and engine throttle for increased performance through a variety of off-road conditions.

Room for All Your Campsite Needs

In addition to driving systems to keep you in command of your ride, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 provides ample space for all your road trip essentials. When traveling with five passengers, you’ll still have a cargo area of 37.6 cubic feet to store all your camping gear. If you need more room for bulkier items, fold the 60/40 split reclining rear seat flat to have 69.8 cubic feet of cargo space.

When your hands are full with a cooler or tent, an available hands-free power rear liftgate comes to your rescue. It senses the Smart Key fob in your pocket or daypack and automatically opens with a simple wave of your foot under the rear bumper, so there’s no need to put any gear down.

A Safe Journey

Traveling to your next exciting destination will be more enjoyable with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 in the RAV4 working as your extra set of eyes on the highway. It comes with the following systems to keep you alerted to the changing road around you:

• Road Sign Assist: Reads the road and warns of detected Speed Limit signs, STOP signs, Yield signs, and Do Not Enter signs.
