Since 1996 the Toyota RAV4 has been sold in America. It was the first really stylish, sporty and utilitarian SUV that caught my eye. Apparently it caught the eyes of many prospective buyers. One of the most desirable features is the engine lineup, especially as it matured through three generations as Toyota figured out what people wanted.

Toyota engines are very reliable, however, for those interested in Affordable Crate Engines for Sale: Toyota RAV4, a crate engine is, in my opinion a viable and cost effective solution. Especially when you compare the cost of said engine to the mileage delivered.

Toyota kept the engine choices simple until the third generation which Toyota introduced in 2006 and is still the current generation of RAV4’s. The first generation RAV4 was made in America from 1996 to 2000. The only engine option was a 2.0 liter inline 4 cylinder engine called the 3S-FE. A rather ordinary power-plant, yet highly reliable. It simply was not enough power for most folks.
