    There was an adventure 2019 Rav4 driving to my left on the highway. I have to admit it looks pretty dang cool.

    I think it's the sharpest looking CUV ever.

    Oh, that ain’t me. I saw that on base the other day and did a double take.

    This is my roof rack.

    So, the 2019 Rav has the same towing capability as the 1st Gen Tacoma with a V6? Hmmm, may have a suggestion for my pops.

    I have a confession, last year the only rental car on a lot was a Dodge Grand Caravan. Let’s just say I was surprised by the acceleration. When I got my truck at the airport and getting on the highway, for just a moment, I thought there was something wrong. Nope. Just not as quick as a Caravan. It stings a bit. It stings.

    My 2012 Toyota Siena would probably smoke my Tacoma from a dead stop. I’ve had many people tell me how sporty the van drive for a van. Not one person has said I that about my truck lol

    Yeah well, that may be the case but anyone who ones one doesn’t drive it that way. Always stuck behind them merging onto the interstate at 30MPH and nearly causing a massive pile up as the drift into fast moving traffic oblivious to their incompetence.

    I just tell people I have too many speeding tickets, and that’s why I’m being honked at while merging onto a freeway.

    I’m highly fond of the new design. If I was in the market for a crossover this would be my first choice. It looks 100 percent better than the previous gen. Just my opinion.

    We bought one just this week. We were rear ended in my wife’s CRV and it was totalled. Poor guy who hit us, he’s an off duty deputy. Nicer than heck, too. Everyone is ok, luckily. That CRV was a good family car, but we really are getting to like this 2019 Rav4.

    I’m curious to see if you can put some 5100’s on it with springs or if OME will have a suspension for it in the near future.

    If that’s the case...look forward to some Rav’s looking to do some trail runs!

    I’m secretly wondering how capable they really are.

    Given that Toyota put a real Subaru engine in the FRS (literals says “Subaru” on the engine) and they are two of the best companies to join forces (for specific things)...this makes sense I guess

    They’d have to be lifted, not much clearance stock. Our CRV had better clearance.
