2025 Toyota RAV4 Engine Specs & Towing Capacity

The Toyota RAV4 engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder Dynamic Force engine. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and you can choose between FWD, AWD, or Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD, depending on which trim you select. Importantly, the latter drive system improves the Toyota RAV4 off-road capabilities by improving both traction and load distribution and pairs nicely with other elements of the RAV4 to aid you when you’re off the beaten path, such as its minimum 8.4-inch ground clearance.

Check out the rest of the 2025 Toyota RAV4 specs below, including the Toyota RAV4 towing capacity: 

2.5L 4-Cylinder Dynamic Force Engine

• Horsepower: 203 hp @ 6,600 RPM
• Torque: 184 lb-ft torque @ 5,000 RPM
• Max towing capacity: 1,500 lbs
• Max tongue weight: 150 lbs

While the Toyota RAV4 isn’t built to tow massive loads like the Toyota Tundra can, it can still hitch a small trailer and tow your outdoor recreational equipment and supplies. So in a way, the Toyota RAV4 towing capacity is perfectly optimized for its intended purpose – to enable you and your fellow thrill-seekers to fully avail yourselves of the promise of adventure off the beaten path, far from Waldport. 

Do you have questions about which drive system is available on which trims? Or would you like to consider purchasing additional equipment to make your RAV4 even more off-road-ready? Then speak with our parts and service center representatives.

2025 Toyota RAV4 Specs: Fuel Efficiency 

The Toyota RAV4 off-road capabilities are excellent, but how much fuel do you need to burn before you get to the starting line of adventure? The RAV4 is a relatively fuel-efficient vehicle that gets up to a combined 28-30 mpg based on which trim and drivetrain you choose. That said, if you decide to utilize the Toyota RAV4 towing capacity, be advised that the heavier the load you trailer, the more fuel you’ll consume! 

See below for a trim-level breakdown of fuel economy figures. If you want more details, like total range or cost per mile driven, consider checking out trustworthy third-party sources like the EPA. 

• LE FWD: 27 city / 35 highway / 30 combined
• LE AWD: 27 city / 34 highway / 30 combined
• XLE FWD: 27 city / 34 highway / 30 combined
