You might have to unload a couple of people on the last uphill climb if you do bring it to Baguio fully loaded with people and luggage.

FYI lang po since i am based here in Baguio..

My ride is Avanza 1.3J... Kayang kaya naman po paakyat ng steep uphill road with 8 passengers (including me) and lots of luggage.. 1st gear nga lang kc d kaya ng 2nd gear(nabibitin) pero 1st gear no problem naka 2k-2500 rpm lang ako wlang kahirap hirap... the uphill road i"m referring to is at circumferential road leading to naguilian road which i think much steeper than the last steep uphill climb at marcos highway... considering foggy pa noon and umuulan contributing to lower air pressure as you have mentioned po...

Ok. That should be good news to other Avanza users.

I was concerned about the last steep uphill on Marcos Highway. Every time I pass through there, I see trucks and such grinding up or have totally stalled on the side of the road.
