We live near the ocean and there are many pullouts where it is sand and in the USA these are on the right side of the road and so the right rear wheel is always on the ground with the least traction. With 2WD the right rear wheel will be getting 100% of the power as it continues to spin if there is not enough traction.
Ever see the signs posted along the highway that say "soft shoulder"? Well that is to alert people with 2WD vehicles that if they pull over for any reason that they are likely to get stuck.

Hopefully that's where my 4x2's rear LS differential will help. Both my 4x2's have had one (even the 1960's one), and they do work. Power goes to the rear wheel with the most traction, the one on the pavement.
But when I'm backing the trailer up a grassy/muddy/sandy slope and both rear wheels go off the pavement, I'm in trouble and wishing I had got a 4x4.
