JesseFrank Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 4x4 is only worth it if you drive a lot off road, otherwise waste of money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) You don't have to stop in a Vigo to engage 4x4. If you want the low gear yes, but that is only for incredibly slow maneuvers. 4x4 is great in the wet.......

kelboy Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 4x4 is only worth it if you drive a lot off road, otherwise waste of money like trans says good in the wet and i live in sukhothai and we get flooded every year,so we no you love vigo's trans but we are talking izuzu.

Jitar Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Kelboy, the pickups all use part time 4WD. You can engage 4x4 on the go but 4WD should only be used on surfaces with poor grip. The Fortuner and Pajero Sport have constant 4WD with center diff. These can be driven in 4WD all the time. Some of the Front Wheel Drive car based SUV's like the Captiva, CR-V and Escape etc. have a part time 4WD system that automatically engages the rear wheel drive if the front drive wheels slip. Is that what you are referring to as Auto 4WD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just pointing out your Vigo 4x4 engagement in your OP which was incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 4x4 for safety in the Wet and Slippery conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 4x4 for safety in the Wet and Slippery conditions. The Mitsu Super Select system in 4H is effectively constant 4WD. I.E. it drives through a center diff so can be used all the time on good or poor grip. Unlike most constant 4WD systems, it can also operate 2WD.

phutoie2 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 what is an isuzu daylight? I have heard of V Cross etc its the new face lift with some bling but still the same Bit like when the Vigo became a Champ. Lost me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars, trucks, whatever, had many different names, letters, numbers attached. From RR to the humble 1960's mini. Why is there a problem with trucks having different names etc, I can't see it............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace of Pop Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 A 375 was to note Low Line and a Convertible from the previous Consul. As to what 375 signified Cluck Knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
