In the course of my New Year's Day being ruined since Ian has trapped me into a "Wheeler Dealer" loop, I have a question.
Its the Bronco episode;
Essentially the drive train has three states;
1) 4WD, front hubs locked - all shafts, diffs and cogs spinning, everything driven.
2) 2WD, front hubs locked - all shafts, diffs and cogs spinning, only rear transmission driven
3) 2WD, front hubs unlocked - none of the front shafts, cogs or diffs spinning, only rear transmission driven,
My question;
Other than the ready availability of 4WD, why would you ever drive in state 2)?
