About time you recognized it.

You said full lock. I take that to mean all four wheels are locked up, not rotating. You also talked about different rotational speed. I assumed you meant wheels rotating at different speeds. How can they be rotating and not at the same time?

 

Nope. Full lock to me means the center if there is one, front and rear differentials are locked and the wheel shafts rotate with the same rpm. There would be zero difference in wheel rpm. There can be no difference in wheel rpm. Abs becomes ineffective. Any turns are compromised. My manual cautions when locking the rear of the Taco that handling will be negatively affected.

 

lol 11 pages later from OP's question. I love TW haha.

 

A sure sign that too many people have way too much free time in their hands.

 

And this simple misunderstanding of what each party was saying by saying 'full lock' is what this whole mess started from. You guys are all correct

 

Which again, you get off topic with irrelevant information because we’re on TACOMAworld talking about four wheel drive in TACOMAS.

 

From first hand experience with two identical 2nd gen Tacomas, one a pre-runner and one an OR, with the pre-runner on blizzaks and the OR on ST Maxx ATs, I’ll take 4hi all day, everyday and twice on Sundays. There is literally nothing that the pre-runner was better at.

 

Time for all the 2wd's to come out the closet here. Let's get some real input.

 

What are we talking about again?

 

What about mpg?

 

I’ve been conversing with a wall about 4wd being better in the snow. The wall disagrees.

 

I think that just sending it is the best way to drive through snow and ice. Works every time...

 

Terrible idea.
That much hard to stop, and OP says he has 4wd, so adding weight is pointless

 

I'm not even eight weeks into a ten week vacation

 

Why do plow trucks have ballast in the rear?
