The Tokyo Auto Salon is just around the corner and Toyota Industries Corporation has previewed a modified Toyota RAV4 that will debut at the event.
For those that don’t know, Toyota Industries Corporation is a machine manufacturer and one of the many companies within the Toyota Group. It spends much of its time developing and building forklifts, but is also in charge of RAV4 production at Toyota’s Nagakusa plant.

The RAV4 in question, dubbed the ‘Adventure Gear’ concept, comes equipped with a host of modifications to make it well suited to off-roading. For example, the SUV has been equipped with beefy off-road wheels and tires and also features a distinctive bodykit that includes side steps. Elsewhere, a prominent roof rack has been designed and while we don’t yet have any images of the RAV4’s rear, we are told it will feature a small ladder making it easy to climb onto the roof.
At this stage, it remains unknown if such an edition, or any of the off-road-inspired parts, will make it to production.
Last month, Toyota introduced the new 2021 RAV4 Prime at the Los Angeles Auto Show. This variant is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 176 hp and 168 lb-ft (228 Nm) of torque operating alongside a rear-mounted electric motor that pushes combined grunt up to 302 hp. The sprint to 60 mph (96 km/h) takes a mere 5.8 seconds and the SUV has an all-electric range of 39 miles (63 km).
