I dont know where you are coming from. Try keeping your foot out of the pedal. Compared to a truck or car the rear end is more stable in my Cherokee. The axles sit right under the rear seats and as such the wheelbase is quite short. This gives great weight distribution over the rear tires. Couldn't do much better for a Front-RWD drivetrain.Quote:

Granted my jeep is a torque monster, but even with these tank treads and driving carefully, it sucks in the snow while in 2 wheel drive. Sitting at a stop sign in snow in 2wd = spinning your back tire... In 4wd, I can drive THROUGH a snow bank higher than my bumpers... No disrespect, but I have driven it in the snow enough to know what I'm talking about.
Yea, you got me...Quote:

Ive only been living in the Rockies half of my life...
Cheers.... They still don't handle snow well in 2wd... :)
Hell, my Liberty doesn't handle light RAIN in 2wd lol. It has enough torque to spin the rear tires easily if I just goose the throttle a little too hard. Dry pavement it's great, but slick roads, much less snow... no traction. However, that's why I live in the south, no snow and not much rain either.
I think we still arent on the same page. You bring up 4wd, but im strictly speaking of RWD capabilities as ive experienced. For solely a rwd vehicle they do better than most RWD vehicles out there. That is my experience.Quote:

Um, 4x4 Jeep in 2wd IS REAR WHEEL DRIVE.... I do understand you are comparing a 2wd rwd Jeep with other 2wd rwd vehicles, but I disagree, there is no weight in the back of my Cherokee or any 2wd Cherokee unless there is alot of steel racks and bumpers on the back and even then those would be 4x4 so you don't mean those you mean the 2wd Jeeps. The of all the rwd vehicles I have ever driven (and I am 40 Ive driven a lot of them before fwd even became standard) the only one that was worse than the torquey rwd of my 4x4 Cherokee was the torquey rwd 3.6 liter Chevy Astro Van I once owned... You asked me where I was coming from and I think I have clearly made my point now...
Ummmm what?Quote:

Meh, all these complaints about RWD just sounds like people don't know how to drive.
I used to put my Ram in 2WD in the snow with my shitty 20" Wrangler HPs hahaha. It was fun.
My Jeep has no problems with rain, snow, mud, whatever - Quadra Drive for the win.
