Description
The Toyota RAV4 is one of those cars that simply refuses to die. You could drive it through a storm, up a hill, across a field, and probably straight through a wall — and it would just shrug, cough politely, and carry on with its day.
This one — the 2.0 XT4 4WD — is peak RAV4. Tough, unbothered, and built like it was designed by someone who thinks steel is a lifestyle. It’s not pretending to be sporty, fashionable, or edgy. It’s just a proper, honest, dependable 4x4 that will still be running long after your neighbours have replaced their crossover for the third time.
Inside, everything is exactly where you want it: big switches, chunky controls, no nonsense. It feels like Toyota actually imagined you might use the thing rather than just sit in traffic queues taking selfies.
Mechanically, it’s been looked after like a favourite family pet. You’ve got service intervals at:
77,591 | 86,004 | 92,999 miles,
and we’re currently retrieving the earlier history prior to 77,591 — but given it's a Toyota, it’s probably just been quietly getting on with life, never complaining.
Now freshly prepared and on sale, it drives exactly how a RAV4 should: planted, confident, and mildly indestructible.
So if you want a 4x4 that doesn’t need a degree in electronics to survive, won’t bankrupt you, and carries the reliability of a Swiss watch in SUV form — this is it. The Toyota RAV4 XT4: the car equivalent of a trusty pair of boots. Solid, dependable, and ready for absolutely anything.
