That is my quote in your (leeschill) post, not your friend's. What is not said is the context of my quote, here is the original thread on
yotatech. If his argument is that a 4wd truck is not 4wd unless it has locked front and rear diffs than there are only two or three available true 4wd trucks on the planet. But it is true that 2wd is really only 1 rear wd and 4wd is really only front and rear two wheel drive by his definition.
Yup, that was my definition of a true 4wd, given the context of ScottSE's original question on yotatech. ScottSE was trying to say the xterra is 3wd, while the 4runner is 4wd and to prove a point I explained the merits of lockers. I think everyone here knows what 4wd means whether that involves lockers or not.
apparently he thinks the xterra's 4x4 system is so inadaquate.
On the contrary, I think the xterra system is better than the new 4runners for off roading. The new 4runners may have all that fancy traction control stuff, but I'd rather have lockers.
