Hi Ameetw,
Since buying my VX I have not taken it out of TOD, the reason I choose the VX over the Pajero Evolution was this amazingly advanced four wheel drive system. I guess if you lived in a country where it never rained or you never went off road you could disengage TOD I am sure if you get really heavy rain and drive it quickly you soon see how quick TOD reacts all in all the performance of the vehicle and the drive system are two products in perfect harmony and in my opinion should not be seperated.
Best regards
David Wiltshire.
