Many people believe that a
4WD and traction go hand in hand... you can't have one without
the other. The truth is most 4WDs send power to the wheels
with the least amount of traction when difficult terrain
is encountered. This occurs because your vehicle's standard
(or open) differential is designed to allow each wheel to
turn independently, thus eliminating binding during cornering.
Unfortunately, an open differential means that when one
or more of your vehicle's wheels loses traction - when you're
caught on slippery rocks for instance - a standard
differential directs all power to those spinning wheels,
and momentum is lost. |
