My wife had a '99 Rav4. We put 180,000 miles on it. Didn't have a single visit to the shop for anything other than regular maintenance. (didn't bother to fix the power lock solenoid or power window switch, but they made it about 160k miles) It was the 4 cyl, so I don't know about towing capacity, but it was rock solid. I felt it was better built than the Nissan Altima that I'm driving now.
