Thanks, I have seen that a while back, some crazy stuff. But I meant the roller test (or real world situation) with only one front wheel with traction. Could that one wheel pull our heavy truck up a grade, the way that subaru is able to?
The Subaru video seems rigged. Every time a vehicle besides the Subaru starts to move forward the brakes are applied, as evident of the stoppage of all four wheels.
Also they do not show the Subaru's transfer of power, once the wheels start to slip.
I have seen this first hand, it react the same as the other vehicle when traction is lost, and the need to transfer power happens.
The Land Rover system works a bid differently.
Using open diffs and braking to transfer power rather than differential locking (only applies to those vehicle without locking diff).
the CDL on the LR4 and LR3 ensures that the front and rear wheels receive the same power instead of trying to vector the power.
Saves time.
The Land Rover system also reacts relative quickly. Watching the other AWD systems take "time" to resolve a loss of traction issue is a bit scary TBH.
So the question is, just to be clear, can an LR3/4 send 100% of the torque to a single Front wheel (or a Rear wheel) if needed (in both versions, with and without the the HD package)?
