[QUOTE="ChevyChad, post: 1149277, member: 21966"] I was very happy to learn of the 4A mode in the new raptor. I typically leave the truck in 2wd but I prefer my wife to have awd because she is more comfortable driving for when those rare freak scenerios arise. For some reason she tends to encounter those instances more than anyone I have ever known. This is why I make sure her vehicle is awd. Her last 2 vehicles were a cadillac CTS awd and now a lexus rx350 fsport with awd. I am happy to let her drive the raptor in awd whenever she wants. It can definitely be used all the time if you wish. Unlike what was mentioned above, I have not personally noticed the awd system being laggy or delayed responsiveness. But, as i mentioned, I typically have it in 2wd. Having said that, I have noticed that the throttle is very laggy if you put the truck in 'weather' mode. I have found that if you just leave it in normal mode and just turn the dial to 4A, the throttle responiveness goes back to normal. I dont notice a difference at all when in 4A vs 2wd other than when turning the wheel full lock and making slow turns- ie in parking scenerios. Its just a tad heavier turning effort, but still not hard by any means. I do have the 802A so mine is a torsen but not sure or not if that is the reason. Its hard to emphasize how little difference there is. I probably wouldnt even think the parking steering was heavier unless i knew from driving in 2wd so often. [/QUOTE]
