Aug 26, 2019 · It's an automatic system that allocates torque according to traction conditions; having the vehicle in that mode all the time is pretty much the point. Not sure what your dealer was concerned about. If you drive these in 4WD High or 4WD Low, you may encounter a little hopping when you turn the wheel driving at low speeds.

Sep 23, 2012 · 4wd auto kinda acts like a awd vehicle when auto is selected , the vehicle remains in 2wd now when the truck senses wheel slip "spinning" the front axle automatically engages . i found Auto to work well in snow or wet grass ect...

Jan 6, 2020 · As much as I love the Power Wagon, my wife misses the Quadra-Drive II "set it and forget it" 4wd mode. As many posts in this forum have confirmed, in locations that shift back and forth from dry pavement to slippery/icy roads, having to constantly change from 4wd to 2wd for on-demand systems (like the power wagon) is a major drawback to some ...

May 18, 2017 · Just a point to add. AWD vehicles have a differential in the system to allow the front wheels to turn at a different speed from the rears. 4wd vehicles don't have that. In turns the front takes a wider arc than the rears. Not sure how GM handles the difference in automatic 4wd mode except to disengage 4wd when it senses pressure.

Jul 30, 2019 · Hey Ram crew, Thought I would drop in and give my two-cent review on my 2019 Ram Big Horn 3.6L ETorque since there just isn't a ton of information available on this V6 powertrain.
