Ok, so I have seen many you tube clips with Rav's on the beach but I am sceptical.

I hope to buy a RAV4 Cruiser Auto 4cyl soon and 90% of the time I will be taking the kids to school, but on the odd weekend I would like to go to the beach. Nothing hardcore obviously but to get from the road to the beach, along the waterfront and back again.

I heard that this will destroy the Auto as it does not have low range. Is this true? And if I only go out 3 times a year will it not be all that bad? We are new to all this and am sick of being told different things! Two Toyota guys (from the same sales place) told us different things. One said he would NEVER take a rav on the beach and the other said yeah it is fine as long as you don't go nuts on very soft sand.

I do not want to be up for a new Auto soon after buying the car!

Any help would certainly be appreciated!!

Please. If anyone has info I would love to hear it. I asked Toyota and all they did was send me some pages out of the manual. None were actually helpful. Please help.

We have a 2008 model CV 4 cylinder, although its Manual, and goes fine on the beach, but a dual range box would be nice :)

wouldnt bother unless an AWD...we find first in our FWD CV is not really low enough for off road anyway.

They are really just road cars...and oh hose the underneath well afterwards.
