The cost of the pass has gone up its a $120 for annual overnite pass & I think $100 for cinderella pass(have to leave by midnight) both passes good for year no you can’t camp on beach but they do have campgrounds(tent only) available on Md. side called back country. Rules aren’t that bad/strict a good tow strap might be $20 u should have 1 anyway a peace of plywood 3/4″ atleast 12″x12″, shovel, jack should have anyway, & it was recomended you drop tire pressure to 15ibs. But there can be lines so show up early I think the total available beach to drive on in off season is around 25 miles cause Va side is only available until September after Piping Plover has left. Nice beach wild horses, sika deer, & all kinds of animals Assateague Island is a wild life refuge for the wild ponies that’s why all the rules & guidelines .

Comment on What do you think about 2008 Rav4 made by Toyota? by canuck

I forgot to mention the huge amount of room inside. There is 6ft of space from the back of the front seats to the back door with the seats folded down and lots of leg room for the rear passengers when the seats are up leaving about 2.5 or 3ft behind the rear seats for cargo. It cant really be called compact anymore.

I have a 2008 rav4 with the V6 and it is a great vehicle. Lots of power (268 hp) and not too bad gas mileage. 32 mpg (imperial) on the highway and I have a heavy foot. The ride is very smooth, gas peddle is very responsive and the vehicle handles very well. It has full lockup and downhill assist for offroading. In short it is lots of fun to drive. The 3.5 litre V6 is the same engine that is in the lexus RX350. My only complaint would be that the clearance isnt as much as the previous version of the Rav4 and it is too nice to take offroad. I havn’t really found a lift kit for it or a winch bumper. Honda CRV styling is super ugly and nowhere near as fun to drive. Hyundai does not compare for reliability. According to consumer reports RAV4 is the best rated of its class for consumer satisfaction. Gas mileage IS much better than the highlander (excepting the hybrid) It is a myth that the tire on the back creates much more damage. Most vehicles are too low to hit the spare (I know as I have measured my vehicle) and the ones high enough (Ford, GM and Dodge large trucks etc) would damage the back door extensively anyways. I think the tire would act as a greater preventative measure and having the tire on the back gives much more room inside the vehicle (trunk space) and also is easy to access when changing. In my books it is a 10 out of 10

I agree with the person who said get the “Mich Pilot”. I sell tires everyday and this is an awkward size with the 18 inch rim. Unfortunately, the “50″ and the “18″ make the tire expensive. You could try going to a 235/55/18 and maybe save some money. That would make the profile of the tire a little bigger which is the distance from the tire set on the rim to the tread blocks on the top.

Good Luck!

These are a bit pricey, but you didn’t list restrictions, so here is my recommendation! Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (Ultra High Performance All-Season)
Check out the reviews from people who bought them!
