How does AWD work in slippery conditions?


Recommended Posts

EXACTLY!

 

Better to have the wheels on ice spin away the excess torque, as with open diffs.

 

LSD will keep power going to those two on the pavement and produce a serious amount of yaw. Even if it's only the rear that has LSD.

 

Having said that, I'd consider limited slip a highly welcome addition if my vehicle useage included a lot of "ranch" or backwoods type driving. e.g. gravel, mud, grass, hills, un-even terrain, or pulling a boat trailer up a seaweed-slicked ramp.

I see what you mean! Maybe I won't be doing that dreaded 180 after all...icon7.gif
