Is the Tharu 330 4WD full-time or on-demand?
1 Answers
The Tharu 330 4WD is a full-time four-wheel drive system. Below are the differences between on-demand 4WD and full-time 4WD: 1. Structural Differences: On-demand 4WD: Simple structure, more suitable for front-wheel-drive platform vehicles with transverse-mounted engines. Full-time 4WD: Complex structure, not suitable for front-wheel-drive platform vehicles with transverse-mounted engines. 2. Different Adjustment Ranges in Safety Control: On-demand 4WD: Cannot transfer more than 50% of the power to the rear axle, with a limited adjustment range in safety control. Full-time 4WD: Transfers more power to the rear axle, offering a wider adjustment range in safety control. 3. Off-road Capability Differences: On-demand 4WD: Uses a simpler viscous coupling center differential, which is less costly and more fuel-efficient. However, its off-road capability is inferior, and it lacks in handling and high-speed stability. Full-time 4WD: Responds faster than on-demand 4WD, thus offering better off-road capability, superior handling, and enhanced high-speed stability.
