Whick models are all wheel drive..Which models can you pick 2 wheel or four wheel?

[Marvo75]

I'm just trying to figure out which models have what drivetrain..Are there any models that you decide if you want 2 or 4 wheel drive?

I know from 99-02, the 4wd/awd models did not have a 2wd only switch, I also know that all 4wd models are awd. Its either a 2wd rig, or a 4wd/awd rig, no matter if it is an EB or an Xlt.

Ok thanks for that info, i thought that but wasnt sure...

Hope that helped clarify the differences.

my 98 has 2wd/4wd. so i guess 97-98 has 2wd a4wd 4hi 4lo.

Yeah, those bastard engineers should have given us 99-02 models the same choices, because they did change it back to 2wd only in either the second or third gen X's.

 

[panda24619]

yeah believe me i feel for you guys. cause i love my 2wd. trying to see how far i can push it with that only. sometimes 4wd is necessary. haha i go threw the dunes all day in 2wd and 15 psi. but sometimes i need 4wd to climb a steep dune.

Panda so yours has 2wheel drive when you want?

 

[panda24619]

yeah. i drive around in 2wd. but when its raining i switch to a4wd. 2wd saves a little more gas but if your looking for a tank this size then gas isnt a top priority. i like the safety of this thing and its paid for.

 

[Marvo75]

Yeah gas mileage isn't an issue with me at all....6 Kids....I drive a suburban now...

 

[panda24619]

o nice. my aunt and uncle drove a 95 burban for a long time. had 4 kids towed a big trailer to the desert full of toys. that thing was a champ. i think it was the last year for the 350 v8 too. my cousin learned to drive in it and it was good until cash for clunkers came along. o well. i do miss it though.

My 06 Limited has 2wd, a4wd, 4wd hi and 4wd low

So Expeditions are All Wheel Drive or are they Auto 4 Wheel drive? I think there is a difference...

 

[panda24619]

i thought it was all wheel drive. but i got corrected. it is automatic 4 wheel drive. when the rear wheel slips it sends power to the front to help pull it along.

My '98 SSV has 2wd, a4wd, 4hi, 4lo

I have the 97 5.4 4wd model with the switch for 4awd, 4wd lo, 4wd hi. So what your saying is that I can put the switch to 4AWD and it makes it safer during the slippery raining weather? Also, to take it out of 4wd, do i just switch it off, or do i have to switch it off and then reverse a certain distance? I dont know how to use my 4x4 yet and need to, so i dont FF anything up. Thanks for the help.

yeah a4wd was for designed by ford for wet and slippery conditions. theres a video on youtube thats an old review video and it said it there. and i looked it up and its for that. and to switch to 4wd just make sure ur either going super slow or not moving and put it into 4hi and itll engage. then drive away. to turn it off switch it to a4wd or 2wd and its off. for 4lo put the trans into neutral and itll engage into 4lo. youll hear a clunk! and its engaged.
