Pulled the trigger on a 2023 Rav 4 Hybrid today after work. Got the SE with Calvary Blue and Black 18 inch rims. Was told to build and get in -- possibly 9 months at the latest. Hope when it comes in it treats me well for many years to come.
Ordered 2023 Rav 4 Hybrid today!!!

Roomy and efficient
Hybrids make more sense for alot of people verses electric vehicles. You won't regret, great decision.
hybrids make a lot of sense sometimes they dont like the rav4 prime with the giant electrical connector hanging out in the winter salt spray.
IIRC harness replacement was some insane number $5k?
The non-prime is a whole different vehicle of course.

Thats an awesome color, I see a Tacoma pickup Im almost certain in that color nearby.
Funny but it has the black rims too … wife and think the combination look great.
18 in wheels, black rims, SE
Package this will be one summer that you can’t wait too end!
9 Months ?? thats crazy
My condolences, you’ve arrived at your midlife crisis. Just kidding, congrats on new purchase. 
Too bad the Baja isn’t made anymore, if Subaru put it on the same growth spurt as the Ranger got, it would be a great city pickup, and functional.

Well done. Toyota makes the best hybrids. Wifey tells me the RX gets better mileage than the TSX. You will love your RAV4.
Nice choice! Thinking about a RAV4 or Honda CRV hybrid. Toyota's have a very high resale too.
To build all the cars ahead of it in the line of orders.
and when is this crap supposed to end? Chips again? Dealer lots still deserted.
Congrats on the vehicle, but a 9 month wait? Yikes, that will be a tough wait, especially if you’re excited about the purchase.
The connector corrosion is on all RAV4 hybrids. The updated connector has an updated cover that allows for better drainage.
There is a backlog of orders to build especially hybrids in incredible demand. Also parts makers cannot keep up with demand so it creates a bottleneck. Guessing it will settle out once demand met.
The RAV4 is also a top seller.
Want to thank use for all your feedback. Salesman that I worked with -- at the latest 9 months and hopefully as little as 3 to 6 months. Said he will call me as soon as he hears its being built. Toyotas have treated me & my Family really well over the last 3 decades. Knocking on wood also with this purchase. I will post pics down the road. Salesman also said that the Rav4 as of now is the number one vehicle they sell overall -- even over the Camry these days he noted.
Yes automobile chips are still in short supply. But there are other supply chain problems, not the least of which is trucking.
It's a shortage of their largely own doing. There is plenty of chips on the market, automotive makers simply gave up their allotment and it went else ware. Surprisingly it was the Japanese automakers that misjudged the situation the worse.
Of course they are not going to outright admit it.

I'd be hosing that thing down with rustcheck or krown every winter and cleaning it every spring.
