kek. unless it has LSDs, when one wheel loses traction, that wheel just spins and the rest lose power.

well that's useful when you're already sliding off the road.

sounds like shit OP.

>wagons are hard to find
wagons are easy to find. because they're a family car. nobody wants a wagon so they sell cheap. provided someone hasnt done the retarded engine swap that breaks the chassis rails because it cant handle the extra mass and power off road, they're a good car.

you want lockable diffs if you're truely dealing with difficult poor traction terrain. otherwise 2wd is fine.

fuck I love '90s Toyota and the OG Rav-4 but I don't want to grenade the engine

are there even any more 3S-GTEs in the US?
