Me "I want to buy a plug-in hybrid". The Dealer "Are you properly lubed for the ridiculous markup!?!?"
-
I bought a RAV4 Prime XSE - got it for a bit under 50k. Came off the boat a month ago. LOVE it , despite what ya say...Its a Rocket. I did buy it for the short runs and Long trips I make. I have owned 5 Toyotas - they are THE most reliable cars ever built and why I watch your channel!
-
I had a 2021 RAV4 Prime for nearly 3 years and then traded up to a 24 same model different color. Love it, it’s better than full EV.
-
One major issue you forgot to talk about is the battery connector that rust in US northern states and Canada ,cost to replace the cable is $7000 , until 2023 this problem is still going on , so be aware folks !
-
That Rav4 Platform is nearly bulletproof. There's a guy on the Toyota Subreddit who owns a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid XSE with well over 450k miles.
-
I think plug in hybrids make perfect sense. Charge overnight at home, drive back and forth to work and/or short trips with electric. Then if you need to drive on a longer trip, no problem, no searching for a charging station and long charge times, just keep driving and the gas engine kicks in.
-
I don't own a plug-in hybrid, but I do own a hybrid. One of the things I do to avoid moisture buildup in the engine is to make sure I run the engine long enough to achieve a proper warm-up. Usually a highway run or equivalent.
-
Bought a new Rav4 Prime XSE in January. Had to wait 4 weeks. Sold at MSRP. Fantastic vehicle. A week ago, fellow member of our church questioned us about the Rav; today he told me he ordered one from same dealer. 2 weeks for delivery. Said it was to replace his Ford PHEV. Had to replace its battery (15,000.00) under warranty a few months ago. That and other problems with the Ford, so he's done, and going Toyota now.

Wow 1m subs. Glad to have been here from the start!
-
Love watching your videos. They are always so informative. You take the time to explain it in a way that anyone could understand it. Really look forward to them. Thank you for being so upfront and honest and sharing your knowledge
-
You know what! I am not a fan of long videos, however, I completely watch your videos as it is rich, informative, and answering my questions triggering my mind during watching.
-
This is one of the best videos have ever heard. No background noise precise & to the point , very well done. 👍 👊
-
The other reason I bought my pluigin is that I live near the mountains, and contrary to the sister hybrid, it can hold the recharge on a 20 mile downhill. Plus, I use the EV mode in town and go hybrid out of town. There is no point in depleting the battery at mediun-high speed. Said that, very happy with it and positevly surprised on the mileage in hybrid mode.
-
I own a 2021 and a 2022 Rav4 Prime. Best cars I have ever owned, problem free. We do manage 45 miles all electric range when the weather is decent. Our commute is about 40 miles and rarely visit a gas station. The battery depletion on the 2021 is about 1% after 37K miles.
-
AMD you are my go to guy especially for the Plug in Hybrids! Absolutely enjoy your videos !
-
It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Such a calm peace and really explain everything in details and mostly tell the true story
-
Got to this channel because of getting a Corolla Hybrid SE 2024... staying on this channel because of how well you storytell and explain your topics. It's like a really good genuine preacher but for Cars, just the facts with kindness. Thankfully I'm in the Chicago area too, so I know where to go when I need help with my Hybrid in the hopefully far future lol.
-
As a R4P owner since 2020 I was not surprised it was the best hybrid in 2020 (range, size, acceleration, full EV credit, very limited supply but no mark up). What is surprising to me now is how it's still the best hybrid 4 years later mainly because Toyota won't "prime" more models. Please Toyota, prime instead of putting turbo 4's and turbo 6's.
-
I enjoyed this as a blessed owner of a 2023 xse model. Ty for ur expertise CCN. God bless ya
-
We wanted a Rav 4 prime since it was first released. Only recently did we have a chance to get it. I searched different models like the BZ4X and this video by you sealed the deal! As a mechanic you helped me tremendously with the decision. On Saturday we got one! You are awesome and thank you so much! The vehicle is amazing 🤩
