The 2022 RAV4 TRD Off-Road is BETTER off-road than you would think!

The TRD Off-Road trim adds some knobby tires, slightly more rugged looks, and a retuned suspension.

TRD Off-Road v Adventure trim

Those with interest beyond the paved world may indeed be interested in this trim level since it differs from the Adventure model in a number of ways. The Ride height stays the same, at 8.6 inches, as in the Adventure as does the approach, break-over, and departure angles, so don't expect to suddenly be able to rock crawling in this. It does get knobbier tires, re-tuned shock absorbers, and some skid plates to protect the underbody, which worked when we ventured off-road.  

The all-wheel-drive system uses Toyota's Dynamic Torque-Vectoring, but you shouldn’t confuse it with the system available on the likes of the 4Runner or Tacoma TRD PROS.  You do have a couple of user-selectable settings for different conditions, and the vehicle can send up to 50% of the engine's torque to the rear axle if needed and shuffle torque from side to side when slip is detected. 

The RAV4 TRD Off-Road has special 18-inch wheels with a matte-black finish wrapped in a set of  255/60R18 Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires.
