Rav4 PHEV Towing capacity by Spec

[PatW]

I have taken a test drive in a Rav 4.

According to the Toyota web site, the towing limit of the lower spec model is 1500Kg but the GR Sport is 1415kg.  

The salesperson is telling me that all Rav4 can tow 1650Kg.  

I guess I should believe the official web site rather than the sales guy?

Indeed you should ... 😉

The towing capacity of the AWD HEV is 1650 kg. The towing capacities of the PHEVs are as you have quoted.

If towing capacity is your thing, then you might want to consider the HEV instead. (But we have folk on here towing happily with the PHEV.)

Edit: and checking up on myself I find that the towing capacity of the GR Sport HEV is 1525 kg ...

Never ever take the word of salespeople with regard to technical matters! The non GR Sport PHEV and Suzuki Across can tow 1500kg.
