What're you towing?

How much can a Prime tow?

The current RAV4 looks pretty great, IMO.

Motorcycles, track car, boat.

It’s rated at 2500 lbs.

That limits track cars, but I could do a Rush or a Radical, or a Legends or Thunder Roadster, etc.

Boat would be over the weight, but 99% of the time, I’d just be towing it 500 yards from dry storage to the ramp. (And the other 1%, I could use the 66 pickup).

F150 Lightning would be great, but I figure it’ll be a year or two at least before I can actually buy one…

And an EV/PHEV Maverick / Ranger / Hyundai Santa Cruz / etc would be good, but they’re not even announced yet.

I figure I can either get thr RAV Prime and call it good enough, or I might have to wait a couple of years to get what I really want.

And if I don’t get thr RAV now, they’ll lose their $7500 tax credit, and loan interest rates will go up (I can borrow at 2.1% right now.)

Yeah I don't picture a unit body FWD based CUV as a good candidate for towing a vehicle. You just seemed a little surprised by it, haha.
