2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE Off Road MGR Test

Here's my 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE.  I'm performing some tests to see how the rear electric motor(MGR) performs in off road conditions.  The configuration of the RAV4's AWD system is both its strength and its weakness.  The rear wheels are 100% electric but the motor only has 54 horsepower and 89 lb ft of torque. Off road the rear motor is the vehicle's Achilles Heel.  Let's see how it performs.


Location: Ocotillo Wells, California
Wheels: Black Rhino Barstow 17x8
Tires: BF Goodrich All-Terrain 245/65/17(31 PSI)
