And this is why I like my setup on my Silverado. It gives you the option of 2wd, AWD, 4 high and 4 low. In Michigan winters, I use multiple modes a day based on road conditions. And best of all, all can be changed on the fly with the exception of 4 low.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Sierra with the same setup. But the best car I ever had for all weather was my 1985 Firebird with an l-69 V8, Muncy 5 speed, performance + suspension, and a Borge Warner concrete clutch rear end. It drove through any conditions I ever found. But it wouldn't back up in anything. I was told that when I bought it and never forgot it. The front air dam was the lowest point on the car. I pulled many 4X4s out of the ski hill parking lot!

IMO the best is permanent mechanic 4x4 layout like LR Discovery 2 or Defender, Toyota Land Cruiser, Mercedes G... more fuel consumption, more total weight are CONS more traction, more security, more stability, more braking power, more towing capability, less tyres consuption onroad are PROS if you put CENTRAL DIFF LOCKS you get the same offroad capabilities as standard 4WD (permanent rear + time front) hope it helps ciao

Awd is like the cheap version of 4wd otherwise most smaller cars have awd n most trucks gets 4wd.

Several SUVs/pickups have AWD these days. A Subaru STI or Mitsubishi Evo drivetrain aren't "cheap". The line is very blurred these days, with many vehicles offering both...and more.

I have been driving essentially AWD since I sold my Bronco ll in 1999. I am just moving into my first pickup and I’m surprised to learn that even when you are spending more than 60k on a mid sized truck it doesn’t come with an AWD/ 4wdA function. Hell, my 97 ford up had that option… prices going through the roof but not the important technology>

You should also mention that all wheel drive vehicles will go through tires a lot faster. I love my all-wheel drive, but my life cycle for a new tire is almost halved.

@@hjer731 not really, no. All wheel drive gives me incredible peace of mind that I will never be stuck on the roads again in winter. Granted, 99% of Americans don’t need it, but it makes life a little easier.

I'm at over 80K+ miles on Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on a 1st-gen Crosstrek. I'm replacing them this month. There is still tread on them, but we get snow/ice.

All wheel drive is for passenger cars. SUV’s or modern day station wagons. It provides better traction in bad weather conditions. 4X4, four wheel drive is for off road performance. It’s for people who like to drive off on challenging trails or off the trails where the ground they drive on would strand anything else. Think of Jeeps, Broncos. Vehicles who don’t use the extra drive wheels to go to the grocery store.

I got my wife a full-time 4wd. Best of both worlds. I have part-time 4wd because I don't have a problem switching back and forth 2wd to 4wd on pavement when needed. I love how much control 4wd have even on braking and taking curves while foot off the gas. When foot off the gas AWD vehicle are like 2wd.

This isn’t true. I went snowboarding yesterday after a big snowstorm. It was stop and go traffic all the way up the pass on very slick snowy roads. Most people had AWD cars and they do great. I prefer 4 wheel but only because I do lots of real off-roading on trials and deeper snow.
