I've been towing my 13' with bath for 3+ years. It's very stable and easy to drive. I live in NM so there are some grades where I slow a bit. I cruise at about 65 mph and on my recent trip to Colorado mountains I got about 21-22 mpg. If it's windy, it drops to about 18.
My Outback is rated for 2,700 lbs and that provides a good headroom for extra weight, people etc.
Note that the RAV4 gas, hybrid and prime are rated differently and all their ratings are for trailers with brakes. Without brakes, the rating is just 1,000. I had just looked this up for a friend and am basing my comments on this page.
Yeah, the Lexus NX hybrid(which is what we have) is rated higher than the Rav4 and towed it fine back to CA from Minnesota, but the gas mileage was not great. No brakes was no problem.
From the sales order:
Bottom Color
Outside step
Exterior grab handle
Manual crank tongue jack w/wheel
Storage cover
The options at that time were discounted 10%.
I did add an after-the-fact sway bar which was not discounted.
We ordered with the same add ons yours had and it cost us exactly the same as yours. They would not discount on yours at all for us. I asked.
The discount was a promo I think they were running, I'm not sure. I hope you post pics of your red one, it's such a good color!
Yeah, we got the 10% off options deal too. I don't know how long that has been going on or will go.
Here is ours...
