I'm not so sure about that, Kendall. We once had a 4-wheel drive Subaru, and at low speeds that thing would not lose traction on ANY surface, not even on wet glare ice. It was simply incredible. Mind you, that's for low speed traction ONLY on rough or slippery terrain. That's where 4-wheel drive is really handy. I see no point at all in using it at medium to higher speeds.
