There was never any diesel RAV4 sold in North America. There are plenty
of Toyota diesels sold in South America but I'm not sure about the RAV4
as it's only a city slicker SUV....nthing that would hold up on the SA
roads..
For that they have the Landcruiser diesels and the Kijang diesel. Not
tomention the Hilux and Hilux Surf models.
Toyota makes a decent diesel or the ROTW.....they "reverse engineered"
MB diesels to get theirs....if you take a look under the hood of a
Landcruiser diesel you'll see a nice copy of a OM615/616/617....spooky!
