Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V vs Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V is the quicker car,
covering it in 14.11 s at
98.5 mph against the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290’s
15.33 s — a margin of
1.22 s. To 60 mph the Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V takes
5.62 s and the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290
6.86 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
7/7 for the Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V,
2/2 for the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V or the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 faster?
The Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.11 s to the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290's 15.33 s, a margin of 1.22 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.62 s against 6.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V 0-60 time?
The Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V reaches 60 mph in 5.62 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.11 s at 98.5 mph.
What is the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 0-60 time?
The Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.33 s at 90.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V trips the lights at 98.5 mph and the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 at 90.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 7 of 7 for the Toyota RAV4 Prime Mk V and 2 of 2 for the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
