For what most people actually do in a 4Runner (including here) a RAV4 is a very practical choice. The image projection just isn't right. Not rugged and overlandy enough. They are excellent for regular old forest service road camping and day trips.

My wife has a 2012 RAV4 AWD. It's the last model with the swing out rear door with the tire on the back. They're handsome vehicles and extremely practical. It has a diff lock that you can engage below like 9mph or something too. I'd get rid of my 4Runner before that RAV4.

In my opinion the styling went way too minivan/vanilla with the 2013 generation change and now they're trying to overcorrect with the new ones. It looks like they took a Tacoma front clip and stuck it on an existing RAV. Very disproportionate.
