The 2019 RAV4 and 2019 Equinox are fitting counterparts in this comparison, as they both offer equivalent levels of high-end towing capacity (Up to 3,500 pounds), built-in Wi-Fi inside, and savvy infotainment systems that allow for app integration through your compatible Apple or Android devices. Still, there are ways that the 2019 RAV4 holds a serious upper hand, especially when your idea of fun involves stepping off the beaten path for an afternoon. With its 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission, Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive, and Multi-Terrain Select technology, the RAV4 does a much better job than the Equinox at helping you keep controlled on any stretch of Earth.
