- I'm looking for advice:
- I'm about to purchase a new Ranger or Nissan 4x4 pickup. The limited
- slip differential is an additional few hundred dollars. Does this
- mean that if I do not get this option that I will really have only
- two driving wheels - one in front and one in rear (can they really
- call that four wheel drive)
- If this is necessary, why isn't there an option for a LSD for the
- front axle. Otherwise, this would be only three wheel drive!
- I am obviously quite confused, and would appreciate some expert
- advice.
- Thanks
