2009	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Harder seats than in the Murano, and now in a good way. The Murano has power lumbar support, letting you melt in the seat as much as you wish. Better lateral support in the Murano as well. see full Toyota RAV4 review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Tires of the 2009 Toyota RAV4

2009 Toyota RAV4 Tires: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	tire pressure sensor always on despite correct inflation see full Toyota RAV4 review
2009	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Stock OEM tires by any auto manufacturers are strictly sourced based on price(Bridgestones Duelers come on most Rav4s). Therefore they are not the best in low-traction situations, as well as not having tremendous durability or longevity. Luckily my Toyota-Certified(ie used) Rav4 came with newer Michelin All-Season tires. I've never felt this AWD vehicle was struggling for grip in low-traction conditions. see full Toyota RAV4 review
