This is my first new vehicle that I ordered February 3, 2023 and took ownership in August. Its color is Calvary Blue and the SE package. Ordered with mud guards, the all weather mats, sunroof/weather package. Has been a total delight soo far. Just wanted to share with the BITOG Family. Figured, I just turned 50 -- work hard and deserved something nice for myself. Put 15 grand down and my interest rate is 4.9%. Hope to get many years of reliable service.

Congratulations!
We too just got our 2023 brother to the RAV; the VENZA which is only hybrid in North America.
We ordered the VENZA in early March ‘23 and it came in late July ‘23(~5 months). Loving it thus far.

Congrats also -- they initially told me atleast a 9 month wait for build and delivery. When I got the call it came in on August --- I was beyond thrilled!!! My Rav4 was built in Canada.
 
^^^Our dealer sales consultant told us that they just didn’t know exactly when our VENZA would arrive. They also said it could be a 2024 model, they just didn’t know at that time in March when we sat with them and put down a deposit. However in May the dealer started getting more exact information about the build and then shipping and even when the car arrived at port. Our sales rep was great with updates.

Best of success with your RAV,
 
Been driving our 2019 Rav4 Limited Hybrid since August 2019, about 40k miles on it. Had 2 Michelins with pin hole leaks in the side wall, both covered under our extended warranty, and a fuel pump recall. Original brakes. Just 0W-16 oil (TGMO and Mobil 1) and filter changes every 5,000 miles. Definitely not following the Toyota recommended 10K mile OCI.

Is that an XSE trim on yours? Looks great.
 
Would be interesting to see if you can remove the mudflaps and have them painted to match the glossy black cladding. Good prep with a plastic primer and a premium heavy duty paint?
