Newbie Hopefully you have not bought the Eagle yet. We have towed a Jayco Dove (880Kg unloaded, but just over 1240Kg loaded) with a 2007 2.4ltr CV L Auto. If you can guarantee that you will never see a hill, yeh you may be OK, but I doubt it, I think you are not only too close to the maximum that the RAV can comfortably tow, but also to the legal limit As you may guess from a previous comment the RAV4 with the auto does not like hills, I agree it hunts and seeks but never quite seems to like what it finds. Can I make a suggestion, get on the internet and look up Caravan hirers, then go and hire a Swan, load it up including filling the water tank, and take it and the family for a run, over a weekend, in particular find some hills to drive through. It may be the best couple of hundred dollars you ever spend. Regards Bill ps Whereabouts do you live.
