Sure I think it is the best because I own it, but I like the 2wd only option to save gas mileage, 4 auto where the 4wd has the front transaxle engaged, reducing gas mileage but kicks in to 4wd when needed and performs flawlessly for me so far, in addition to 4 hi and 4 low optional settings.
25 mpg and 4WD puts you into Rav4, CRV, or another brand of small SUV. And these vehicles just barely get 25 mpg. You could get a small, mid size, and even a Toyota Camry with FWD that would all get much better than 25 mpg on the highway. A FWD sedan with winter tires could be a more comfortable and economic commuter vehicle.
i have a toyota 4r and a subaru legacy OB and i live in maine. even comparing the 4R equipped with studded snow tires to the subaru with all season radials, the subaru takes it for paved road driving, regardless of the weather. the only exception might be heavy snow that requires the ground clearance of the 4 runner. but for highway driving, etc. give me all wheel drive in snow and ice.
I wouldn’t recommend 4WD. You’re not going to get a good 4WD vehicle for only $3k. You’re going to get an abused rust bucket. Plus, you don’t need 4WD, even for Tahoe trips. You’ll be doing city driving most of the time. Just get a good front wheel drive vehicle and invest in a good set of all-season tires, and a set of cable chains.
Ihave a 2008 Toyota 4Runner 4WD. I have received different advice on how to use chains on a 4WD vehicle. One says to use the chains on the back and keep it in 2WD mode. Another says to put them on the front wheels and keep it in 4WD mode. Yet another says to put chains on all 4 wheels. Can anyone help me out with the best way to use chains with 4WD. Thanks!
Looking for suggestions on a used SUV purchase (years, make models). Under consideration are GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition (Max also made the list due to recent rental experience), Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe. We require 3rd row seating and prefer models with navigation, bluetooth 4.0, rear cameras and towing capacity. We are a Volvo household but our family has outgrown our XC90 which is ...
Basically an SUV is a station wagon with higher ground clearance and most of the time AWD or 4WD. Yup! An SUV can do anything that a sedan can do, but a sedan can’t do many of the things that an SUV can do. Years ago, governors and other high-level politicians traveled in limousines, which were essentially long wheelbase sedans.
Drive the same speed in two similar vehicles…but one with 4wd…the 4wd will do a much better job of keeping you on the road. I’ve driven many slippery roads in 2wd with an (LSD) and with 4wd…the difference is night and day. Many times I’ve driven one of my 4wd SUV’S in 2wd mode when the conditions started getting worse.
Hi! My husband and I live in the mountains in snow country. Right now we have a 97 Subaru Legacy and a 02 Outback. We are starting to think about replacing the 97 Legacy. We have liked our Subarus so far, but would like to find something more fuel efficient, yet retain the important features for mountain/snow driving (all wheel or front wheel drive, high clearance, heated seats, etc.) I am ...
The problem is no all 4wd systems and AWD systems are designed the same. You can lock the differential on many newer AWD systems which basically make it operate like a 4wd system. And newer 4wd systems can be driven on dry pavement without a problem. But in general 4wd is better in for off-roading and unplowed roads.
