VehiCROSS: AWD or Full-Time 4WD

[kodiak]

from what i read a full time 4wd means that all 4 wheels have equal torque to them safely on dry pavement... awd is generally all wheels spin, with variable torque.. but with no low range

who knows.. now i dont have to worry about liability of getting towed improperly at least.. not that i should be getting towed or anything.. just nice peace of mind

Full time 4wd is AWD + the ability to lock the transfer case. That is what you do when you put it in to 4_Low. AWD doesn’t have that ability.

+1!!!

yea that was the reason i put the stickers on in the first place.. so anyone towing would know to use a flatbed, because i pulled the 4wd off the back

was just thinking and couldn't help but wonder.. are ya planning on illegally parking or having the Repo man stop by soon?

I had mine towed a couple weeks back when I screwed up a tire.. the first words out of my mouth after hello and help.. were "I need a roll back please"

lol no but i used to live in philly.. and commute there often still.. and they love to tow vehicles.. plus i just started parking at a train station out here and they have a really bad system for paying daily and im just waiting for the day when my payment doesnt register and i get towed.. better safe than sorry

What we have definitionally speaking is "automatic four wheel drive". As long as they don't tow by the primary drive rear wheels you should be all right. There is no LSD on the front which is the part that gets screwed up when towing. Let me know if this for some reason is not correct? I've had mine towed this way with no ill consequences.
