G'day Robert and welcome to the forum. 

Congrats on your new ride. That car would be worlds apart from any previous Prado you've owned for sure. They are a big, heavy lug of a car and unless you're using it to tow anything or go bush, then it's overkill for the metro area. That's where your Hybrid fits in perfectly. Great choice if you want to reduce your fuel bill too.

It's amazing how far the RAV 4 has come too. I owned the very first model when they came out in '94. Mine was a '95 3 door Cruiser and it was a fantastic vehicle. I owned that car for 10 years and was one of the most reliable cars I'd ever owned. I know very little about your Hybrid RAV so will be looking forward to your future posts. 

Perhaps you could share some of your likes and dislikes about it. Talk about the quirks and features etc..

Anyways, feel free to post and I'm glad you shared a photo too. Some never do, but that's ok.

Regards
Tony :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Forum. Similar to Tony I am looking forward to your future posts.

I think that you will find it worthwhile to do posts about your experiences and be able to look them up at a later time to refresh the memory. I have found my past posts to be complementary and more informative than the service spreadsheet that I maintain for my vehicles.

Never owned a RAV4 or Prado but I have noticed how the size of the RAV4 has grown over the years.

Just happened to be driving beside a RAV4 and was thinking that the length is now very similar to my Aurion.

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Had a similar issue with my 2003 Camry sedan. I'm think the mechanism might be bit stiff, so removing the door card and spraying the locking cable (the one that pushes the lock knob into the lock and unlock position on the interior door handle) with some Innox might work to loosen up the old grease and get it working again.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Engine conversion

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was upgraded to a turbo version before i bought it.

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP
