Thanks for the answer, makes more sense now.
Seems to me to be a rather basic, bordering on ineffective 4wd system, especially when you consider you can get more capable systems on vehicles almost half the price. Not too much benefit to having a vehicle which guarantees to spin only the 2 wheels on the car which have the least amount of traction. I'm telling you, the truck got stuck in something my car with winter tires may have made it through, well not really but you get the point.
Does the xterra have the same crappy system? I looked at that originally, maybe I shouldv'e gone with it.
Yes I'm bitter.
