Good point, but I think you mean 4-low, not just 4x4. Many drivers, unfamiliar with clutch operation, slipped the clutch, even driving a car.

I get your point, Jerry. I was under the impression that when you put your truck in 4WD, you're automatically in 4 low. I had completely forgotten that there must have been an extra lever for low range; it's been some years since I owed the vehicle. :)
No, not AWD, as that is a completely different system. :) There are lots of different 4WD systems. I think most had 4L, and 4H, but were operated in various ways. About 8 of the new trucks I've purchased had 4x4, but all were 4 high and 4 low capable. Some had neutral transfer case ability for free wheel towing, such as behind a MH.
