2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]

When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.

Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.

The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.

And that's the reason I buy my Toyota OEM items from Nassco in Barbados. Excellent service and even with shipping costs to Trinidad their prices are still well below TTTL.

Wow.

[Corollaman]

Lemee give an example. These are prices I got last week. (all converted to TTD)
Vehicle is a 2004 RAV4.

12372-28041 (Transmission mount)
TTTL - $933.41 (VI)
Nassco - $736.86

04446-32050 (Power steering seal kit)
TTTL - $255.30 (VI)
Nassco - $162.36

I would post many more parts but, as expected, TTTL did not have them in stock so no comparison available. And guess what... for international sales, Barbados doesn't charge any tax on their prices.

/end rant.

[[X]~Outlaw]

WOW Sweet! I'm going to have to give them a call next time I need parts

Toyolink, a powerseller on tuner hoss, his prices are pretty good for oem parts. I can't say compared to nassco but surly better than Tttl

When I had my CK4 Lancer, I used to buy from Simpson Motors in Bdos right thru.

I ended up finding them in desperation as I needed a power steering pulley and as much as I explained to Diamond Motors that my engine was identical to that in the local vehicles, they didn't even want to hear me. "Nah boi, dai ah foreign used, we doh sell nuttin for dat"

When I contacted Simpson Motors, they even went so far as to email me the actual exploded diagrams of the vehicle so that I could identify the exact part that I needed. Paid via credit card and got it in three days.

Bought all my stuff from them for the time I owned the car.
And the savings were even more ridiculous than with TTTL.

Know this is a Toyota thread but I'm just sharing my experience. Hope it can save people some cash.

My bad, I also bought a couple items from him as well. Ditto on excellent price and service.
