Stellantis is formerly Chrysler, I believe. The RAV4s, like most Toyotas, is pretty much indestructible i well maintained. My brother-in-law sells “notions” and makes a six figure income, but he’s on the road throughout his territory in the Midwest all the time. He’s got a RAV4 he bought used with 100k on it and it’s got over 300k now. I don’t know the year, but it’s not terribly new, like probably 10 years old. He’s meticulous about maintenance on it (he doesn’t wrench, he’s got an indy) but he doesn’t do anything outside the recommended stuff, so it’s not lie the car is pampered.
It’s never failed him in those 200k+ miles he’s driven it. He’s still driving it today. Despite being in the Midwest, it’s not rusty or nasty, either. And he’s driving it in IN, KY, IL, IA - all Rust Belt states. -D > On Apr 10, 2024, at 10:27 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Hoovie has another channel with his gf called Good Morning Youtube.
