WOW. Great you enjoy your car and driving❤

The most splendid recommendation. I wish you well right through your blessed 90s. Cheers 🥂

You should not be allowed to drive at 90 😮

lifetime warranty from the dealership?

I have a 07 Prius and 15 hybrid Avalon, very dependable and not costly to maintain. About 2 years ago replaced hybrid battery and regular battery for about $2,500.00, but that is less than it was a few years ago. I love both my hybrids !❤

My husband who has a extra back pain said that the preuies was really comfortable for him to sit in and ride in very comfortable

What's the name of company you got battery with life time warranty and phone number..thank you

@@zeljkodjukic5889Possibly Green Bean battery, which does offer a lifetime replacement guarantee on their reconditioned hybrid batteries.

you need to grease and clean them since they are not used as much. We have a Prius AWDe and a 2021 RAV LE hybrid and we have them checked every fall and spring. We live in the countryside with hardly any stops on the way to the city (30km distance) . Our mechanic recommends that when you come to a stop to brake a bit later and harder just to keep them from rusting.

@@Bob064 nice to know. Thanks for the recommendation.

If you mostly drive in the highway, u do not use your break that much, and it will last longer.

@@anastaciolopez6259 but your burning almost as much fuel as a non hybrid.

I have 187K on my 2007 chevy duramax 4×4. Still on original brakes.

Not everyone can reach 390,000 miles in their whole lifetime. You must be a Uber driver.

@TheGecko213 no Uber here. Like many people around this area, I commuted 50 miles one way to Miami every day for about 10 years, plus other traveling.

​@@TheGecko213😆 🤣 😂

My 09 Camry Hybrid has 400000 km last Friday and from what I know it's the original hybrid battery and next to no repair just oil changes at 7500 km...

it’s a Prius though, gross

I wish Honda included a spare on their 2024 CRV Hybrid. No spare Honda? $40K.

Your MPGs are probably higher then what your gage says. I did the math on my Camry Hybrid xle and it gets 52mpgs. The gage and the car specs had a lower mpgs.

Mine is a 15 hybrid Avalon, I love, love it ❤️

My 2021 Avalon Hybrid XLE gets 35 mpg, but I mainly drive short distances around town and deal with many hills, otherwise I'd probably get 40mpg. My 2003 Tahoe, which I purchased new and drove for 20 years gets 14mpg (great vehicle BTW), so I'm thrilled with 35mpg! I LOVE my Avalon!! It is so smooth and fun to drive, luxurious and spacious, nice moonroof, great sound system. I usually drive in Standard mode, but Sport mode kicks it up into another level of power, quickness, and fun. I plan on driving this for my next 20 years ❤

@@Jack-pd4ps If I wanted a sedan that Hybrid Camry would be the way to go. Too darn low though.

@@MatHerald GM built some very good trucks and SUV's back then.

You got it less than a week ago and you comment on a maintenance video?

​@@WilsonB-rc7wk You are going to pay a lot more for hybrid.... msrp is a joke... and keep in mind that you may not going to get the car even if you put deposit for it.

@@sn3495 This is just not true, when I ordered my Lexus 450 LxH, I specialized everything that I wanted on it, even the color of the seats! When it came in people offered to buy it for $3,500.00 more dollars! The Dealership keep me informed, yes I had to wait do to the things that I stipulated I wanted, and that’s how it came. I was told that Lexus would no longer let people request the exterior color, with the color seats I wanted. Usually there White Pearl 450 H COMES WITH BLACK INTERIOR was what I was told .

​@@sn3495Not my experience. Shop a different dealer. Go out of state if you have to.

Congrats. I too just bought hybrid highlander xle bronze addition. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now and just love it. 2022 model with 15k miles. Going to schedule appointment with dealer for service. Would you believe my insurance is cheaper on this car than my old 89 Pathfinder. Hope body doesn’t rust like Nissan here in N.Y.

Could you give me his work number?Are you able to negotiate prices on the hybrids at all?

Toyota is the best car i ever had.very reliable and very much save fuel ⛽ economy.more than BMW & MERCEDES 😊

My husband started taking my hybrid to work after gas prices started spiking once Americans returned to work post-2020. He refuels every 3 weeks instead of weekly also and his regular car is a very fuel efficient Honda.

The purchase price of that Prius vs gas vehicle could be $3,000-$5,000 buys a lot of gas.

@chodkowski01 diminishing amount over time. Was a $3000 "Premium" for me. Payback took 3.5 years. Im in Year 9 of ownership. They're only worth the premium if you hold onto your vehicle. If you're changing vehicles every 5 years or less, they don't make sense.

great to hear

Any update on the cablegate issues that these rav4 hybrids had ? Are they fixed in 2024 model ?

Hybrids stll have starters and altenators. If you didn't replace them as sooner as thr older ICE cars you have owned, all it confirms is they can make them better. Also replacing alternators and starters are nothing really for the basic mechanic.

@@crxdelsolsir this is not true. Rav4 hybrids do not have a starter or an alternator. The traction battery is what starts the vehicle. This is also partially why you see such a small 12v battery in the hybrids. The inverter functions similarly to that of an alternator, but there is not an alternator in the hybrids.

@@jmichael6931 Never thought things in mind whether Hybrids have a starter or an alternator, very informative.

Hey crx guy YOUR WRONG Better read up.

Aren't hybrids more likely to catch on fire?

EVs are for the virtue signalling crowd - hybrids are the optimal overall best way to go given current technology. From total life time perspective the hybrid has time carbon foir print, far less requirenpment for exotic raw materials (which are proving to be very environmentalky threatening as demand scales up), better mpg than an ICE and better overall affordability. They are much more affordable than EVs (even with the govt incentive b.s.), don't suffer range anxiety issues, and the plug-in variety just sweetens the deal further. My next vehichle is definitely going to be a hybrid and most definitely NOT an EV

You never replaced the batteries you claim, well I call that a straight up lie there only good for about up to 100,000 miles.

@@victoria19853are you saying I’m a liar??? What will I gain from lying if I never replaced my batteries!!!

all batteries under perform in cold weather; this has been since the advent of electric platforms in the early 1900's over ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO! >>>> CLICKBAIT

Are you saying that the hybrid would need special tires to keep the mpg up. Vs. Buying some cheap regular tires would bring the mpg down.? That’s my understanding

@@angelicafigueroa2513 I’m saying that the tires with the lowest rolling resistance will get the better mileage than say a softer tire with possibly a smoother ride. The inference here is a harder tire generally has less rolling resistance than a softer tire. Generally the harder tires have the longest advertised mileage rating and the softer tires wear out faster.

You forgot about the up to 15 years hybrid battery warranty with UK Toyota main dealer servicing which also includes a hybrid health check.

Yessss

Attention seeking title was the only shock

Clickbait, I’m shocked!

The title doesn’t match the content, wasting time

The "shock" is that the more technically complex car, the hybrid, needs less maintenance. Any quick scan of Consumer Reports will show that; in almost every case the hybrid is a full grade better on reliability, regardless of the brand. Channel that fact into clickbait and you get the title of this video.

I find it interesting that no one seems to take into account that tires wear down faster and need to be replaced every 15000 in average. That's because the vehicle is heavier (battery) and faster acceleration on top of that.

My car before my Rav4 Hybrid was a Prius V. Absolutely do love the Prius V but only downfall was that it beeps going in reverse and its down a bit further. But a brand new Rav4 and I'm now at 8700 miles and I've been the the dealership about a dozen times. And carplay sucks on the Rav4. I do miss my Prius V but it does seem like Toyotas aren't as reliable as they once were.

You are too old to drive

​@@lesliechiu1437Being 86 is not a cause by itself not to drive. FJ Biden is not like he is because he's old, but because he suffers from late stage Alheimer's syndrome

Woohooo

That’s why I just traded in my 2021 Venza Limited. Bought a gas Highlander Limited. In addition to the cable, Stargaze sunroof has problems, with $ 6,000 bill. Trunk closure grinds.

@@paulstein9258 hey Paul, I still have mine, Toyota has acknowledged the cable issue and is going to warranty it up to eight years as you are probably aware. The only issues with mine to date was a rear piston for the tailgate was making noise. I don’t plan keeping it long term we’ll have to see given the cost of them here in Canada. The highlander is a very nice truck, a truck I believe could last you a long time, good luck with it.

Thank you!

I say save the extra cost and clean the battery filter

@@SampaosLim510 The point is, there will come a day when the battery, just like any other battery, will no longer hold an adequate charge and will have to be replaced. If you're someone who doesn't keep your vehicle for more than a few years, then this doesn't apply. If you're like me and keep your cars for 10-20 years, now you have to calculate whether you think you'll save enough money in fuel to pay for a battery pack repair/replacement.

@@jsfbay1 Also, if you do keep your hybrid for only a few years, you should expect a lower trade-in value since potential buyers will balk at buying a used hybrid due to the possibility of a huge battery replacement expense. I was told to expect 15% or more less value over the gas version. Besides, if this EV push by the US government takes hold, and bans gas engines at some point, then the demand for gas engine vehicles on the used market will be very high...and trade in values will skyrocket. Just things to keep in mind.

@@williamwood1776, The data that is available shows that hybrid batteries are very reliable. There are many older Hybrids out there that have the original battery, especially Toyota's! There are still generation 1 and 2 Priuses out there with the original battery in twitch more than 300,000 miles on it. There is someone here who drives a generation 1 Prius sedan. I recently got a new Toyota Hybrid to replace my 2012 Camry Hybrid, and the hybrid battery is still in excellent shape. The only battery problems that any car has is the 12V battery, which on regular gasoline cars has to be replaced every 5 years. The 12V for hybrids lasts between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. Yes, hybrid batteries are expensive to replace, but you are putting out a lot of false information out there, Toyota dealers are wanting hybrid trade-ins , because they are selling very fast. almost as soon as they hit the lot.

Used Rav4 hybrids sell at a premium. I bought a 2019 Rav4 Limited in 2020. It only had 26 miles on it. KBB trade in is only $1000 less than I paid for it.

And then there's the cost of the hybrid battery replacement if you keep your vehicle long enough.

Plus dealer markup for hybrids.

People who want a green car are very POOR at maths. That is why they drive EVs and Hybrids.

I just got a Venza hybrid and for me, it was a total step up from a Tacoma. So I sold my Taco for 33k and bought a Venza LE for 38.5k. I could have kept the Taco and saved 5.5k, but now I have a new ride and a luxury car that’s much faster, so I don’t think I screwed up. I just have to drive it past 5 years to really make it worth it

80k miles to begin saving anything

About $6,000 was added to the MSRP (in various paint protection schemes, oil changes, rotations, and $450 floor mats to name some add of the add ons) on my 2023 Rav4 Limited Hybrid. It's a "do you want it or not" scam they can do because hybrids are in very short supply. They play that up. But it's a great vehicle. One of the nicest vehicles to drive ever made. It's fantastic. One caveat. I noticed 6 subscription services right away, and there may be more. The Toyota app apparently stinks, according to reviews. They made such a great vehicle, but their consumer software stinks. The app exists to sell subscription services.

exactly, once they do that you’re losing the fuel savings

Great great choice

Electric car can burn by itself, search how many people dead in electricity car. Electricity car noise actually bother me than ICE engine.

Thank you

Do you know why it cost you more?

@@nickiemcnichols5397 because the car has 2 modes of transportation gas and electric and cost more to repair. I don’t have claims nor moving violations and live in a very safe zip code and almost perfect credit. The car was a ford Cmax I had that car for 5 years and it had only 35,000 miles on it So please tell me what hybrids cost more to insure

Underwriter here- all things being equal a hybrid costs less to insure.

@@johngorecki930 if you say so I know other wise There are two power trains to replace and batteries. Show me how it’s cheaper to insure

More expensive vehicles cost more to insure. I don't think it has anything to do with hybrid vs non-hybrid. With most manufacturers, hybrids don't come in base model trims. Toyota is the exception.

I thought the Venza had a panoramic sun roof?

@@wabbit7608 optional star gaze roof that does not open. I couldn’t find one with the star gaze roof either.

I want the 23 Venza, but very hard to find now

@@Rissybearbe glad you didn’t find one… when they have problems, they are VERY expensive to fix.

My 2021 has the pano sunroof. I read one comment where the owner had an estimate of $ 6000 for a replacement. I use mine exclusively in sport mode. 38 to 44 mpg. In eco mode, I got 55 mpg but not much fun in that mode.

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and it's road noise isolation is awful. I thought by 2018 they'd have fixed it. I wonder if you have to go to an Acura for a quiet Honda.. I drove a 2022 Forester and it was much quieter than our Honda.

​@@davidanderson8469Honda is notorious for road noise.

did you replace the hybrid battery?

@@MoneySavingVideos no the traction battery never had a problem. Also the 12 volt AGM battery never needed replaced either!

@@kevinbond1889 thanks. I have not replaced brakes either!

Until your battery no longer holds an adequate charge and needs cell replacements or the hole battery replaced. If you don't keep your cars beyond the 8 year / ?? miles Toyota battery warranty then I agree with you.

@@jsfbay1 My Prius is 10 years old and still working great. Other than routine maintenance replaced the 12 volt battery and tires. I wouldn't call it a great car but it did exceed the expectations I had when I first got it.

I’ll stay with SK’s advice and go with a gas Toyota. They are cheaper to run long term.

@@frederickclause2694 how long the 12 volt battery lasted ?

@@efraimlavi4030 The original had a cell go bad after about 1.5 years. No issues since. It isn't a normal lead acid battery. I forget the technical aspects of the 12 volt battery.

Wow!

I have a 2022 es300h and during summers i am averaging 45mpg around 40 in cold winter driving

No my 09 still has the original hybrid battery at 400000 km.. And a good by directional code reader can see into the hybrid system and see issues if any...

hybrid battery can cost around 3000, around every 10 years. the warranty lasts 8, and its not uncommon for them to be good for as long as 15

Toyota hybrids have a 150k mile, 10 year warranty on hybrid battery. Look at the couriers and taxi companies, etc. LOTS of examples with 300k+ miles, original battery. The hybrid transmission is EXTREMELY reliable, much more reliable than a regular automatic transmission or regular cvt transmission. That's because it is super simple. Gasoline engines in hybrids are the same, except they don't work as hard. Also note that Toyota has been perfecting hybrids for nearly 25 years! Now, the routine maintenance is almost identical to the gasoline version. The only things you need to add is clean/change the battery air filter (super easy for non-mechanics to do), and when you require an engine coolant change, you also change the inventor coolant (easy). Toyota hybrids have no starter, no alternator, no belts, and the brakes last about 2.5 times longer than gasoline cars. And, if the battery does need changed, it is around $4k at the dealer. If that's too much, then an aftermarket battery for a Toyota is around $1,700. And, they are getting cheaper every year. Don't forget the huge fuel savings with Toyota's hybrids. Any other questions, please let me know. I don't own one, but will buy one in the future. I've driven a Highlander Hybrid for a 450 mile trip, and absolutely loved it compared to the V6 Highlander we own. At least 11 mpg more than our V6, and the hybrid acceleration was good. Now, if you don't drive much (less than 8k miles a year), it would be better to get the gasoline only version.

That was our experience . I'm shocked by all the positive reviews.

what car, I bet it's a 3rd gen Prius@@filmvi37

Hybrid Highlander Very expensive to repair. We just went back to the basic 4 runner.@@NethirOsman

@@filmvi37 true my apologies and sound like it sucked big time

But somehow. Somehow, Toyota hybrids are seen as extremely reliable and people regularly take them to very high mileages, but internet expert knows better.

that is amazing that you are getting the mpg of a sub compact car of the 80s in a crossover with 3x the hp

Same situation here in Colo- dealers are so full of BS

I ordered my RAV XLE hybrid in December. I’m picking up my RAV today July 19. I turned down a RAV in May because I didn’t want a gray car. I brought my 2014 Prius V from A1 Toyota in New Hsven, CT as well as the RAV. They didn’t charge me over the MRSP. Great dealership.

I absolutely love my 2022 Toyota Rav 4 hybrid SE in calvary blue 💙💙💙💙💙

Dealer’s and Salesman are taught to miss represent the true facts, do to making the sale at that moment in time.

You guys are lucky to recieve your orders so quickly. Here in Australia the wait times are insane. I ordered a RAV4 Hybrid Edge 23 many months ago. Near $67k in value. Was told a 1 year wait...

It costs 45 dollars a month for my hybrid escape full coverage, not more than other like vehicles.

As an insurance agent for 20 years I can confirm this is 100% incorrect. In fact, many Carriers offer a discount for hybrids.

There are repair videos on youtube how to fix it. I would say it is easier then a timing belt change

@@JD-yx7be many variables but so far evs, hybrids are way too complicated and too expensive. Batteries alone on many cars go beyond the price of the vehicle itself:(

We have a Hybrid Rav4 and a non hybrid RAV4. Th hybrid gets 40mpg the non hybrid get 30mpg. Thats a little over 30% better.

Camry hybrid LE gives 55 mpg with conservative driving. That's vastly more than the non hybrid. If you drive little, it doesn't make sense indeed. If you commute considerable, like me, savings add up

:)

Changed my wife’s 2024 Lexus NX350h at 1k miles, then just did the 5k miles change yesterday. From now on it is 5k miles OCI. Same routine I did on my 2017 ES350 and my son’s 08 RX350.

Toyota hybrid cars, like other hybrids, often have a tendency for carbon buildup due to their unique engine characteristics. Since hybrid engines frequently switch between electric and internal combustion modes, they might not always reach the temperatures needed to burn off carbon deposits. This can lead to more carbon buildup compared to traditional internal combustion engines that consistently operate at higher temperatures. Regular maintenance and driving patterns can influence this issue.

Not true if the Toyoto hybrid engine has the D-4S gas injection system that avoids carbon build up.@@zeehng5736

Those maintainance intervals are designed to get you through warranty and to cause premature failure in the near future. Cut them by 25% at least after warranty.

So you drive less than 500 miles a year? I'd own the cheapest used beater upper i could find. No reason to "invest" any significant amount of money into something I'm rarely going to use .

I think in your case a hybrid would not be the best choice. Just like in my case a full EV would be a bad choice. All hybrids are more than ICE model. 300 miles a year you will NEVER make up the difference. Plus most realize the more electric stuff, the more failure after couple of decades. There are 1970 cars on road that are basically factory plus maintenance. Driver who put on 5k a year. I doubt a hybrid will go +40 years even low miles without serious parts, battery replacement. In your case I would find an estate car. +4 years old, dealership every year for oil change, under 15k miles. Every 15 years put on new tires. (If you store in garage, in decent state). My CO car, outside needs new tires every 10 years due to rot concerns. Mn 20 years in garage fine.

@@Derek_1111 Yep but on a side note i would buy something you can't help looking back at when you get out because it's so cool an you plan on keeping it till you die . 🙂

you could literally buy a monster truck since you don't drive much.

All correct points yes

Why will the tires last longer in a hybrid?

I don't buy this. I'd say that for short trips and mixed highway in a civilized environment, get a hybrid. If you drive around two lane highways and live at Walmart, I'd buy the most expendable car that could haul groceries. I would not buy a hybrid just to save gas if I rarely drive.

@@marshmower Then the hybrid isn't for you It's actually not good to let your hybrid sit the batteries last longer if you use them.Even look at the long term scheduled general maintenance of hybrids it's not as often as the gas guzzlers .

I put 160000 miles on my Fusion hybrid before replacing brake pads. The winter mileage effect is from winter fuel not because it is hybrid.

​@nikhilnh conventional brakes stop the vehicle by converting its kinetic energy to friction - in other words, heat and wear - at the brake pads and tires. Regenerative braking converts part of that kinetic energy into electricity. Hence, the tires work less, wear out less.

Yep, exactly right. Oil change every 5k miles or 6 months for me. The hybrid fan filter clean every 6 months as well.
