4wheel what?
Can somebody please explain to me how can the Haldex system send 100% torque to the rear? It is a passive 4wheel drive system, even now that it does not need to register wheel spin because it is probably pre-locked electromagnetically. Therefore it can send momentarily MAXIMUM only 50% of torque to the rear. So it can't go of road. So it does not need the big ground clearance. So it's junk. And so are all those SUVs with similar 4X4 systems. That's what a friend of mine discovered when he bought the latest RAV4 to go hunting and found out he could not go up a moderate grassy incline even in the lock mode. The others with the Jimnys had him licked... At least some rabbits survived. From all this class I think only the X3 and Forester have proper 4X4 systems. Or am I wrong?
