    Anyone know of a good RAV4 forum? The ones I've found have been horrible. Glitchy, inundated with ads that make reading difficult, and seem unreliable. I'm trying to figure out what people are paying for a 2017 RAV4 LE fwd.

    We just bought an AWD SE to replace my out going Taco. I've glanced at Rav4 forums and found them to be not as useful as the tacomaworld forums.

    I am part of a dealer and I can tell you there is very little mark up on the LE model, you won't get much haggle room beyond 1000$ off list. The 18's aren't coming for awhile but at least the interest rates are very low right now for the 17's.

    I'm looking for a good RAV4 Forum as well. My wife and I just traded her 16 Reflex Blue MX-5 Miata Grand Touring for a 17 Dark Currant RAV4 Limited AWD. I want to do some lighting mods much like what I have done with our Tacoma. Most of the threads on Toyotanation.com RAV4 forum and RAV4world.com are old, unresponsive, and it seems they don't do a lot to their vehicles.

    Bought a '17 XLE fwd in May and paid $3500 below MSRP, but that also included trading in a '13 RAV4, so who knows what I really paid. Seemed like a good deal to me though.

    Yeah, I suppose that's the best one I found so far. Has some decent info. It's just hard to read because the pages jump around because of the ads.

    Funny that this is mentioned here...was just looking for a Rav4 forum. After my Tacoma being totaled thanks to hurricane Irma, I'm now in the process of purchasing a 2014 Rav4 XLE, so thought I'd like to check out a forum for it. Thanks for the tip! I'm FramerKat there also, FYI...would love to see some fellow Tacoma forum peeps over there. ;)

    Wife has an 2018 XLE coming soon. Wondering if the seats in the 2017 are the exact same as the 2018? Looking at getting some Clazzio seat covers for her as surprise
