Re: Why didn't Hummer go with 2WD w/selectable 4WD?
I see the full-time 4wd as a huge advantage. Don't know how many times in my part time 4runner or blazer when rear wheel drive didn't cut it. Any ice or slush and I'd fishtail, even with BFG ATs. And you can forget going uphill from a stop if it's icy.
But I can even tell the difference cruising in dry conditions. Fulltime 4wd delivers better control and cornering up in the canyons. Definitely wouldn't give it up for 1 mpg.
