I've always wanted a four wheel drive van. It would be great if they
made a real four wheel drive minivan today. I see these all wheel drive
Astro's or GMC's and my mind begins to imagine the possibilities. Now I
know that they can't be as good as a "real" 4x4 but I thought that was
mainly due to the clearance problems. I saw a GMC today and the
clearance didn't look that bad. I looked up the transfer case
information on Edmunds.com and it talked about a viscous center
differential, center limited slip differential, and a locking rear
differential. That doesn't really sound *too* wimpy but how does this
compare to a "real" system? Say you put on some larger knobby tires and
drive it through some decent muck. I wouldn't be doing any rock climbing
but do go down some fairly challenging muddy trails. I presently have a
'94 cherokee and will probably replace it with a 2 door blazer next
summer but was looking for any technical information concerning this
van's drive system and clearance issues. Thanks in advance.
