Wonder of wonders! Toyota is offering a special on the 2006 RAV4 Base I4 AWD with FE,AA,DR and RL options. $269/mo with $1999 due at signing with a 36 month lease. No idea if this is a good deal or not.
 
Not sure if it is in all regions but it is the NY area.

For the CR-V my guess it the towing capacity will stay at 1500 lbs. Get the V6 RAV4 if you want something in this class need to tow (3500 lbs).

A HAPPY FITZMALL BUYER by jimd4

From another buyer at Fitzmall. PS I do not work there or for Toyota but I do pay attention!
 
"I've had my RAV4 Limited V6 4X4 for two weeks now. It's silver with the cloth interior, moonroof, JBL system, tow package, and the accessory package (cargo mats, net). I absolutely love it!
 
Thanks to everyone on this forum who recommended Fitzmall. I first attempted to purchase my car through CarsDirect. My "salesman" told me that he placed an order for the car, but then I never heard from him again. By that time, the price on their site was no longer competitive. After that, I did the usual car dealer negotiating. I placed a deposit with a local dealer for the same package as above, but with the leather package and the heated seats. After four weeks of being promised that my car would definitely be in that weekend, the dealer finally admitted that he would have to place an order for the car.
 
In the meantime, I had continued my research online and was impressed with Fitzmall. They had the exact car I wanted listed on their site, but without the leather package. Since the leather package was a nice-to-have on my list, I was ready to buy! It turned out that particular one was presold, but they were able to locate another one for me within 10 days. Even though it was close to a 3 hour drive, it was worth it! The price was great, the service was friendly, and I couldn't be more pleased. I picked up the car with only 3 miles on it and took my time driving it home, with a huge smile on my face the whole time. This is Fitzmall in PA, and I worked with XXXXX. The whole process took less than two hours.
 
The cloth seats are great and I don't regret compromising on the leather package. My previous car didn't have the automatic climate control, so I'm enjoying that new feature, especially during this heat wave. My old car had zero cargo space, so my first trip to the grocery store was a real pleasure. I actually had enough room for the bags without having to pile them into the passenger seat!
 
I love the power and AUX ports in the center console for my iPod. In the morning, I just select a playlist and go. In my old car, I had the cassette adapter and power cords dangling from the dashboard, so I love how neatly everything is tucked away. The volume and selection controls on the steering wheel are very convenient.
 
The cupholders could be improved, of course. It's a small price to pay! I just ordered the mudguards, so I'll be installing them next week.
 
Thanks again for all of the great advice and valuable contributions all of you have made to this forum! It was very helpful to hear about your experiences. "

Not apparently from Toyota in Canada. Toyota dealers have told me that Toyota Canada holds the new MY vehicles in storage at their main storage yards (in Canada's case in Vancouver, BC) and will not release them until existing MY vehicles clear dealer lots.

Tire Inflation Warning Light: 2006 V6 by silverphx

I recently "overfilled" my tires with too much air. The tire pressure warning light came on in the dash. I deflated the pressure on all of the tires to about 42psi (the tire pressure recomendation on the outside of the tire says "MAX 44psi"). Anyway, even after doing this, the warning light would not go off? Any insight?

You may need to deflate well below the max threshold then reinflate to 42lbs to extinguish the lamp.

I'll try that, although that seems like a total pain to have to go through (i.e., another trip to the gas station to reinflate). I can't imagine why Toyota would design it that way. Does anyone know what the PSI #'s are at which point the warning light is programmed to go on at (i.e., what is the high/low PSI at which the lights are programmed to light up)? Just curious because I would guess different tires would have different psi ranges and I am wondering how this will affect future tire changes, etc? Will the Toyota dealer have to reprogram the default settings with each tire change?

They can't reprogram any settings on the TPMS, low threshold is 24-27lbs, don't know the upper threshold, but I know some owners are running 40lbs without any problems other than eventual uneven wear since they're overinflated, the 17" are supposed to be run at 32lbs and that's what the TPMS is calibrated for. 70lbs will disable the system, that's the only high limit spec I know of.

My tire inflation warning light went on last week. I brought my 2006 RAV4 (5 months old) to local gas station. They checked the tires, said they were little low,and put some more air in them. The light stayed on. I called the dealer. At first the lady who answered the phone said they would have to re-program the settings, but then said it would go off automatically when the problem was corrected. Also, she told me if the air in the spare tire was low, it would cause the light to come on. She then told me to bring the RAV4 in and they would take a look. My dealer told me that I could not make an appt, it is first come, first serve.
 
    Yesterday morning, I drove 30 minutes to the dealer. The manager took a quick look under the dashboard (under the steering wheel). It looked like he was trying to locate something to press. He told me that they would have to re-program it and it would take a while. He then told me he was very sorry but that they were extremely busy and were short handed. They would not have time to look at it and I would have to come back. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper!
 
This evening, I talked to a neighbor who has a 2007 Camry (about 4 months old). She told me that her warning light has come on for the 2nd time. She bought her car at a dealer 2 hrs away. They had to re-program her car and said the spare tire caused the light to go on. She is driving back to the dealer tomorrow.
 
Hopefully when I bring the RAV back next week, the dealer will have time to look at it. I have also had a few "hesitation problems". I will ask about that as well.

I doubt that they reprogram anything. There is probably a way to reset the system just like your maintnance lite. Look in the manual.
