    reasonable request.....sorry about that......would like to know more about the beach being used. Trying to decide if the Rav4 will be suitable on Fire Island NY seems that I more info regarding the traction control on the 09-10 Ravs. Do you engage the 4wheel lock and then turn off the traction to simulate a true 4WD like the jeeps?

    Is there anything additional you need to do when going on the beach ?

    How much do you take the tire pressure to ?

    How do you reset the tire pressure light ? Do you need to overfill the tires ?

    Do you need to disengage the traction control

    Thanks for the help

    typically the tire pressure runs between 12-15 lbs before entering the beach.
    traction control should be disengaged.
    speed limit is 10 mph
    in order to reset the tire pressure light you need to overinflate the tires by 4 lbs

    Thanks for the information .

    Can you tell me how the 4 WD drive lock worked for you . This was a big selling point to me since most if not all SUVS in this range do not have the lock

    Tks
