Looking forward to pics and reviews. Maybe I’ll be a truck guy eventually when the kids get older and their toys are no longer Barbie and LEGO.

I'm surprised with your job and houses you don't have a truck .....
 
Following up on those that were asking about the RAV 4 Hybrid.
It's an excellent vehicle. I have the XSE trim. Good performance for an SUV. Great gas mileage. I'm averaging 7.2 l per 100 km. But I'm an aggressive driver and do alot highway driving.
The RAV 4 Hybrids did have a few issues that Toyota have sorted out now and should be taken care on the new models. 1. Gas tank issue. Couldn't fill up to the 55 l capacity. Tank replaced under the TSB all is good now. 2. People complained of dead battery the 12 v. These batteries only start up the computer which then tells the car to,use the hybrid battery to,start. These batteries are not much bigger than a motorcycle battery. This is now resolved with a DCM software update..
3. Shaking mirrors. Funny enough when you get used to this on a bike , you really don't notice this on a car. They have a fix for this. But only improved it slightly.

Positives. Good performance. Good gas mileage. Good handeling and breaking. Toyota engineering. The engine uses both direct and port injection. So no issues regarding carbon buildup. It's a 2.5l Atkinson cycle engine. So no turbo crap to worry about in the future. Interior is very good. Great space. I was able to fit 8 foot 2x4 s in it for example.

My first Toyota. Only time will tell if it's as reliable as everyone keeps preaching about Toyota quality.

I'm happy with the RAV4 and would buy again.

The rav hybrid is a pretty compelling vehicle. Should give you many years of trouble free service.

My only beef is Toyota styling. It looks like the designers used a samurai sword to shape the thing.

The cr-v hybrid is another great choice.

Why? I’m not a contractor and for me to buy a truck that needs to be actually used as a truck 2-3 times/year doesn’t make financial sense. I could fool myself and pretend it’ll be used, but reality is very different.

I’ve learned my lesson. Buy the car that suits the majority of your needs. Same as bikes. SS WOULD be fun…..but the X will meet 90% of my riding needs.

Yes I sort of understand where you are coming from with regards to styling. For example I wanted to get a Lexus hybrid. But that ****** looking front grill just turned me away. The RAV 4was surprisingly half decent looking. The new style is a lot better than the previous model to me. The interior is also really good. Not luxury levels. But it's a blend of comfort and functionality.
Not sure if you can get the CRV hybrid in Canada yet. But I also believe Honda is redesigning it soon. So I would wait if that's what you want.
