Best 4-wheel drive

 
So much for 4X4's on ice - I drive a landrover Freelander jeep and I was always quite confident I was safe enough when it came to driving in icy conditions until this morning that is! I did a complete u-turn on the road where there must have been black ice - so much for traction control!
(P.S. My tyres were only replaced 3 weeks ago)
 
Were you in 2wd or 4wd when driving?
I am gueessing 2.

Had a similiar experience in a ranger worse because of zero weight over the drive wheels. Lucky there was no one around and I didn't hit anything. No need for bungee jump that morning. Took a moment to gather my thoughts.

This is where permanent AWD might be more useful.
 
The ranger had the second lever beside the gear lever for 2wd high 4wd high and 4wd low.

some vehicle have a button to switch betweeb 4wd and 2wd high only generally a light on the dash to indicate on or off.

Normally these things are 2wd rear only it is bad for the transfer box and gearbox to use 4wd on normal dry roads all the time.

With the ranger in 4wd high it felt like driving with brakes on. the fuel consumption at least doubled. Absolutley shocking even for a 2.5 diesel.
