    Hello po, good afternoon. I'm planning to buy a 2004 or a 2005 toyota rav4 po.

    yung mga locally released units po ba dito sa philippines ay may safety features like VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL/TRACTION CONTROL, ABS and EBD?

    I just want to make sure po since yun po ang habol ko sa pagbili maliban sa specs na gusto ko


    Thank you guys and God bless

    Only the 4x4 Gen 2 models have ABS+EBD but no VSC/TRC both get airbags though

    Traction control and stability control will come handy if you drive aggressively in corners or like to launch the car quickly from a stop. If you drive in a tame manner, then you will be all right with no traction control and stability control. ABS is a much more important safety feature and also seatbelts.

    so wala pala talaga eto pa naman din selling point ko in buying a used car. akala ko pa naman din meron kasi standard na daw yung VSC nung 2004 and 2005 Models siguro sa US/EU/JAP lang yung nabasa ko.

    bakit kaya ganun sir? hindi sila pare pareho ng mga safety features na nilalabas per region could it be dahil iba ang climate dun?

    mahihirapan ka makabili kung andami mong hinahanap masyado sa Philippine market haha. Mga panahon na yan, di pa uso sa commuter cars yung mga ganyan. Well, they are nice-to-haves for the regular driver.

    NGayon, tinatanggal din yung mga ganyang extra feature sa iba (hyundai etc.) for cost cutting

    Might be same with the 2.4L front wheel drive rav4.
    AWD rav4 has lower mpg than 2WD.

    TMP is well known to be stripping out features of cars and trucks here. Unlike in other countries.
    Like for example the head unit of innova/hilux/fortuner. Still using an AVT head unit instead of toyota head unit used in other countries.

    While now some of their models has reduced stripping some of the features. Unlike the past.

    Like the current rav4, still has some features stripped but they still kept the vsc/trc since the previous gen.

    Not as bad as the 1KD being retained for the PHDM Prado on the flipside TMP's love for AVT headunits makes replacing the Corolla/RAV4 Headunits possible if not easier by opting for the 2-din style dashboard instead of the floating tablet design they are using with their toyota headunits for other markets.

    Madali nga mag upgrade ng HU ng RAV4 dahil sa 2DIN cabinet niya.

    Based pala sa user manual ng RAV4 LE, JVCKenwood ang HU.

    some unsolicited advice. 1st thing to consider about this model rav4. as they have the sludge prone 1az-fe engine. check for sludge formation these do not tolerate extended oil change intervals well (>5000kms).

    Not just Prado...Even the old Hiace commuter (flat nose) and the Hiace cargo panel vans still has the 1KD.
