It is a common misconception that 4x4 and traction go hand in hand. The truth is that most 4x4 vehicles send power to the wheels with the least amount of traction once difficult terrain is encountered. The problem is simple – when one of your vehicle’s wheels loses traction, your highway minded factory differential directs all of your vehicle’s power to those spinning wheels. On road, the standard differential allows each of your wheels to turn independently thus eliminating any binding during turns.
