It's going to just require a behavioral change until technology catches up with a solution. Ten years from now, people will look back and say, "Remember when we had to actually leave our cars plugged in while heating up the cabin so we wouldn't kill range?"

Because truck size is directly proportional to dick size.
This is my 2008 Z71 parked next to a 2019 Z71.
I'm 5'8" and the tops of the 2019's fenders are at my shoulders.

So now there is a TURD PRO Rav 4......
The Pro is still only Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra.

Oh... That's a peculiar distinction... so specific shocks/wheels/tires make a TURD pro TACo, but specific shocks wheels and tires only make a turd offroad package. the exact same shit was done to both?!Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 1:25 pmWow.

They're trying to make the Pro version the most hardcore. I don't think that can be done at all with a RAV4 without major work.
Thought, you're right...the Pro versions are pretty lame in regards to hardware. It's really just marketing
