[QUOTE="WILL E, post: 1014547, member: 69290"] Did some more research and JonnyO is correct. It is not a full time 4wd, most of the time there is no power sent to the front wheels. In 4x4 auto mode the system detects a difference in speed from front to rear and, along with other sensors, determines if and how much power to send to the front. Onlywhen in 4x4 high and 4x4 low is the split an eve 50% all of the time. Looks like a pretty cool little system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ControlTrac There is a traction control button that will turn traction control off when in auto mode. I wonder if this keeps power from going to the front wheels at all? Anyways, it's a nice system. From what I found the low range is 2.64. Combine that with the 6 speed 4.17 first gear and you have a very respectable final drive ratio. No wonder it just crawled along as it stayed in first gear. [/QUOTE]
