4x4 Question??


Recommended Posts

This might seem like a dumb question and if it is im sorry. The brat that i have is sitting on 2 flats and i just got it running the other day and havent had a chance to get in on the mud. So my question is, is it front wheel drive until you shift it into 4 wheel drive? or is it like most trucks its rear wheel drive until you shift it into 4 wheel drive?

 

Thanks for the help.

I like the 4x4 on the subaru anyway.If you had to choose a 2wd layout for offroad(4x4 no availible) most people would choose FWD because the weight of the engine is over the driving wheels = traction(unless on a steep hill).

 

in my backyard there is this little hill maybe 20 feet long but it its kinda steep.without fail if If the ground is wet at all I have to put my truck in 4wd to get up it,and it has a posi rearend.The subaru putts up the same hill in wetter conditions in FWD..

 

although the subaru 2wd layout sucks for donuts and drifts...
