You nailed it with each platform of drive train has its Ideal use for the environment it was designed for. This video reminds me why I purchased an AWD for Michigan's Winter roads. Thanks Brad for this video and keep on living the IDEAL lifestyle!

You make me more confident with my AWD Lexus 350!

I really thought there was no difference

I am excited for the electric vehicles of the future and getting the advantages of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive at the same time, however I will with miss gasoline and diesel cars with their manual transmissions and transfer cases.

I really want that Alpha Jax. I've been following it since it was announced, and as a battlecar enthusiast, it speaks to me.

My Toyota Fortuner 2012 has technical describe
3.0 D-4-D Fulltime 4x4, is it AWD or 4x4 classified?

[Mr_Blayde]

You said awd can't be changed but I drove a 2018 awd cadillac xts and it had a fwd mode I could switch into

[jeffcarr]

So if you run down your battery on a mountain we're will you plug it in?

[astrid]

Hey sup brad u there bro, I'm a big fan btw

[miketuber]

What about Suzukis Grand Vitara 3rd Generation? Is it AWD or 4WD? I ask because in this model you can't select 2H it has only 4H, 4H LOCK AND 4L LOCK.

[suewang]

Sorry to inform you, but you had missed a lot of more advanced 4WD system in this video. For example you should talk about Full time 4WD, Multi Mode 4WD etc.

I have a 2013 Chrysler 300 with the 5.7 hemi with the awd and I must say with the tazer and be able to switch between rwd and awd and winter time was 👌🏾 awd to drive to the locations rwd to go spinning in the snow
