Sir, you have just described upper management behavior.
Are any of those industrial machines road worthy?
Belt CVTs in automobiles from every brand are prone to failure.
Toyota CVTs were so great that Toyota decided they needed to make a drastic change and add a 1st gear.
All of this is pointless because the hybrid has a bulletproof eCVT transmission and is much more efficient. There is no reason to not get the hybrid.
The hybrid gets you an extra 30ish horsepower and +10mpg. But AWD is standard whether or not you want it.
The newer Toyota CVTs uses a conventional 1st gear, an advantage over any other brand.
If you can find one hybrid is always the way to go.
Have you seen the inside of a belt CVT? The design is inherently fragile.
Toyota probably makes the best belt CVT. But why take even the smallest chance when the eCVT is absolutely bulletproof and more efficient?
Expect an invitation to the r/rav4club?
Get the hybrid and don’t pay over MSRP.
Avoid the belt CVT, it’s just a fragile design no matter who builds it.
A “mechanics special” is only a good idea if you are the mechanic.
If you find any sources that shows early oil changes are beneficial please share it, we’re all here to learn!
Did you buy a plug-in in Prius or does it just have an EV MODE button?
FUCK AUTOMOTIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO DEATH.
Ive been happy with my 12v Solutions kit I installed a couple years ago. Viper and Compustar are other major companies.
