One thing I'm curious about... did the first-gen RAV4's have AWD or 4WD with a true low range transfer case? I see a mix of AWD and 4WD on Edmunds and Wikipedia, with one article even pointing out that the drive system was lifted directly from the Celica All-Trac.
I was shopping around for one a while back , and I only came across AWD and FWD models according to the VIN#'s .

And here is one with an All-Track motor swap!
