All Wheel Drive

Anybody notice any major differences or concerns with 4x4 towing vs All Wheel Drive towing? Considering a Denali with AWD and the 6 liter.

  • We had an AWD Dodge Caravan many moons ago and were limited to 2,000 towing cap. Also was fun to drive on the beach if sand was packed.
  • I believe the biggest concern would be your fuel mileage when not towing. All-wheel drive gets a bit worse mileage than does 4-wheel drive since you are turning both axles most of the time with all-wheel drive. Other than that, shouldn't be much difference.
