    RWD vehicles like pick-ups and the Xwind will fishtail easier in the wet especially with a light rear... Never step on the gas on a slippery turn until you're entire car (rear wheels) is facing the direction you want to go.

    agree ako dito, mas maingat ako mag drive pag unang ambon pa lang.. mas kampante na ako pag malakas na yung ulan..

    sana nga, i'm willing to pay for extra amount for ABS/EBD sa revo ko.. kaso wala talaga, sana simulan ng toyota sa 2005 revo na available ang ABS, buti pa ford everest meron..

    hindi ba meron LSPV ang rear brakes ng mga AUVs and pickups? naa-adjust po ba ito? ang intindi ko kasi is mas less ang braking sa rear wheels pag light lang ang load..

    revogsx,

    ano yung LSPV?

    ang alam ko lang is EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), which calculates the braking force depending on the vehicle's load.

    sa mga high-end variants ko lang nakikitang may EBD.

    I did a 180 degree skid in a 2003 Trooper with ABS... dont know how I did it but im sure the ABS are working (at least on a straight line)?!!

    Just happened last month in White Plains Ave... came from edsa and a bit speeding... saw a truck w trailer on the right side, so plenty of space, I didnt slow down...

    When I was near the trailer... nag U Turn ang Truck blocking ALL lanes... the only thing I can do is slam on the brakes... medyo kulang ang preno so I considered to turn a little to the right... it will be the 1st lane to be cleared... to my surprise... the trooper skidded and I ended up facing the other way... kala ko tataob! but at least hindi... nag slow down na from the time I slamed on my brakes...

    But I still dont get it WHY i turned that way... some of my friends are saying my car's rear end was light (was alone)... and my rear wheels were actually lifting from the road so the ABS was not working to its full potential...

    So moral of the story, ABS can only do so much (at least for SUVs with light load)

    But im quite sure, ABS will work 100% in a car... medyo questionable ngayon sa akin ang ABS sa SUV.... but still better than none.

    Let me know if there are other reasons why I skidded, considering I have ABS... even up to now, Im stumped?!

    Nangyari sa akin sa EDSA going to NLEX pag lagpas lang ng Royal. Gamit ko yung Toyota Starlet ko. I was running 120KPH then sa may intersection ng sa tapat ata ng Distilleria Lintuaco may bigla ba naman lumabas na owner type jeep at mag ko cross, aba nagulat ako kabig ako bigla sa kanan then brake tapos biglang dumulas yung gulong sa rear left at ayun nag spin ako 360 four times papuntang kanan buti walang bus na dumadaan at that time kundi patay ako! Tumigil lang yung spin ko ng kumalang ako sa gutter. I end up facing to the direction of Munoz. Naginig tuhod ko doon di ko talaga na regain yung control kahit anong bawi ko. Lahat ng mga tao sa gilid natulala din. Wala naman na sira sa car. Buti nalang naka lowered ako kundi baka bumaliktad na. 1997 pa ito nangyari.

    Bro,

    Di ba parang me problema ang Isuzu dyan braking on wet roads? yung byenan ko kasi naaksidente last week nag skid din ang likuran (Isuzu Fuego 2003 model). Then nawalan na ng control, tapos binagga na nya yung sasakyang naka park sa gilid .. then umikot sya... hayun ... wasak yung harap ng Fuego. Pero before this.... skidding happens thrice already. Yung Goodyear rubber kaya ang culprit dito or the vehicle itself? We are planning to replace the stock tires maski makapal pa ang rubber just to avoid the same accident. Ano sa palagay nyo?
    On my XUVi, I had several skids with its stock tire (Michelin).
    Usually 'yong skid na na-experience ko is pag basa ang kalsada. I used to drive a Corolla, before I had my XUVi, and I had to make a lot of adjustments on my driving style. After 2-3 months driving the XUVi, nagkakilala na kami. By the way even on dry pavement roads, the Micheline LTX will skid when you slam on the break even you're only at a speed of 60kph. Will probably switch into a new set of tire brand. Am thinking of a Pirelli Scorpion.

    Di lang skid nag-360 degrees spin din ako sa SLEX naman. From Cabuyao to Sta. rosa, susubukan ko lang sana kung aabot ako 200kph sa corolla gli ko.

    It was midnight so konti lang sasakyan (mostly trucks). Pag pasok pa lang ng express hataw agad kasi nga hanggang Sta.rosa exit lang ang target ko. I was doing 180 kph (yun yung huli kong nakita sa gauge bago nag-spin yung kotse) sa fast lane nang may 10 wheeler truck na nag-swerve sa lane ko. Biglang preno ako pero di kakayanin kaya kabig ako sa right.

    Yun na! nag-skid na yung kotse, kinabig ko sa kaliwa (to counter steer) pero sumobra kaya pakabila naman ang spin ng kotse. Wala na akong magawa kaya todo apak na lang sa preno at hinihintay ko na lang tumigil. Sabay lang speed nung truck at nung kotse ko na nag-sspin! Tumigil lang yung pag-ikot nung nahulog na yung kotse sa shoulder lapit na bumangga sa puno tapos naiwan na ako nung truck.

    That was July 15, 2003 midnight (natandaan ko date kasi anniv namin ni misis hehehe).
