Help - RAV 4 Towing

Jan 02, 2004 2 Replies

Is the 02 RAV 4 with the 2.0litre engine strong enough to pull a trailer approx 1100 lbs. How good is it in the snow, traction wise???



TIA Konrad


1) How long do you plan on keeping the RAV, and do you care if you seriously shorten the life of the drivetrain. 2) Really unsure if the RAV's brakes are adequate for another 1100# 3) Traction depends on the tires. Real winter tires like Nokian or Bridgestone Blizzak = good snow traction. So-called All Season tires = disappointing snow traction.
