    Fantastic, thank you for asking! Yeah, with the cruise set at 62 miles an hour I can get almost 27 mpgs. So far it has been a great vehicle. Took it in the woods for the first time, got some small scratches already :D it did great. The hill decent control is pretty cool. When in X-mode whatever speed you are going when you begin a steep decline is maintained and if you want to go slower just hold brake and let off at speed you want. Also, now that I'm out of the 1000 mile break-in period I gave it some beans. From a dead stop no brake torque it's pretty similar to the tundra in terms of acceleration. Flooring it from 25 it's a rocket. Everybody's head hits the headrest. Also, I forgot how much I missed something that can corner. It's no sports car but compared to the Tundra it's an Indy car :rofl:

    I know reviewers have gotten their hands on them. I just looked on AutoTrader countrywide and I found some results with no pictures at all so I don't know if that means they are in transit or they just arrived on the lot and didn't have time for pictures yet.

    Can't wait to see them both in person.
    That Rav4 Prime I saw on Maui peaked my interest too.

    The RAV4 prime is a fantastic vehicle from everything I've read and seen. Able to do many people's commute and running errands all on battery. Second fastest Toyota for sale currently behind the Supra as well. I believe it still qualifies for the federal tax credit too.

    Yeah, I love all those things about it. The prepper in me really wants that EV capability for commuting and getting groceries if gas prices get stupid or the SHTF.

    Of course we decided to go camping next week. Around a 500 mile round trip towing my travel trailer at 8-9 mpg. Should only cost me about $240-290 for gas. :eek: :crazy: :annoyed:

    Dude, I'm born and raised in the AZ desert, we locals don't do well in the cold. Probably like somebody coming here in summer from up north melting when we hit 115.

    Where I live I have seen -42, like Mr ThcAk has I'm sure. I was in Phoenix when it was 110. I was like, "I see what they mean about dry heat, it's not as bad as humid heat!" Then after about a minute I was like, "I'm in an oven. I'm dying." :rofl:

    We see -10 all the way up to the record setting 116 this summer. Anything over 105 can F off.

    80 is a nice temperature for waterskiing. That's about it.

    I realized right then that I was not prepared for the heat,I whined like a lil'beatch.
    Could not do it, hats off to you desert guys:hattip: I'll take -30° any day over 110°

    1000% this. Born and raised in Wyoming so it's a cold desert. Lived in Phoenix area (Gilbert) for about 6 months through the end of summer and winter. I couldn't leave the house until after dark or I would melt, but I'd go for a walk at 10 PM in shorts, flip flops, and a T shirt. People I passed were in parkas and worried I was going to freeze. It was 65* out and the sidewalk and asphalt were radiating heat that was uncomfortable and still made me sweat.
