How fast can the Patrol go in low-range four-wheel drive?
1 Answers
The Patrol's speed in low-range four-wheel drive mode generally should not exceed 40 kilometers per hour. The vehicle is equipped with a 5.6L V8 engine with a maximum output of 434 horsepower, which is 36 horsepower more than standard models. The four-wheel drive mode adjusts gear settings for steering, while part-time four-wheel drive allows the driver to engage or disengage the transfer case based on road conditions to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes. Typically, part-time four-wheel drive uses either the front or rear wheels for four-wheel drive and automatically switches to four-wheel drive when driving on snowy roads. The transfer case delivers power to the two undriven wheels, increasing the vehicle's speed for smoother and more stable operation. The Patrol's 5.6L V8 engine delivers a maximum output of 434 horsepower, 36 horsepower more than standard models, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel-drive system with low-range torque amplification. The new-generation Patrol features front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension for improved comfort while retaining a body-on-frame construction. It includes features such as lane change assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, 360-degree panoramic imaging, front seat heating/ventilation, rear seat heating, and a rear display screen.
