Sometimes you will hear the claim that a locked 2WD equals an open 4WD, but this is not even close to being true.
MAXIMUM traction - locked 2WD - two wheels - open 4WD - four wheels One wheel spins - locked 2WD - one wheel - open 4WD - two wheels Two wheels spin - locked 2WD - no wheels (stuck) - open 4WD - no wheels (stuck) But even in this last case, unless a front and a rear wheel slip on the open 4WD at the exact same time, there will still be two wheels propelling the vehicle forward, allowing the spinning wheel to grip on something. If traction is a concern, 4WD always beats 2WD. Quote:
