Toyota Rav 4 views

Watch out for towing capacity between models. Mine is 2017, and the 2 wheel drive has a limit of 800Kg, and the 4 wheel drive is 1650Kg, a big difference. The later models may have different numbers, but possibly the same 2/4 wheel drive differences. I think you will find yourself a bit close in any case with a 1500Kg caravan.

My handbook states that the car is designed for carrying passengers, not for towing, and then goes into detail about towing procedures !

(I have a Landcruiser going spare that could easily tow 2 of your caravans at once).

Cheers.

I trust you are referring to the current ‘new’ shape? The previous hybrid was not a great tow car however the new one in my opinion is. Red kite is correct regarding towing weights however 1500kg is 150kg below the limit so not remotely a problem. You are either legal or you are not. Anything else is opinion. Bear in mind the manufacturer has already incorporated a margin of safety. The only note of caution is the noseweight is 70kg which is a touch on the low side. i tow with the PHEV version and it is one of the very best tow cars I have had. The PHEV has a tow limit of 1500kg and a kerb weight of circa 1950kg. The MTPLM of my van is 1550 kg and my towing set up is perfectly legal (wait for howls of protest). 

No howls of protest from us we tow with a Suzuki Across and Swift Conqueror 480  (a rebadged RAV4 PHEV) absolutely superb vehicle solo or towing
