A 2wd Recreation Activity Vehicle 4 wheel drive (RAV4)

Food for thought

This has always confused me too.

I didn’t believe the girl I met freshman year of college when she told me she had a 2wd Jeep Grand Cherokee. Then she started talking about other cars and seemed to know a lot, so I believed her. She was right. And a small part of me died inside, to know that such a thing existed. Of course, she was from Florida.

She was cool (still is). The car? Not so much.

There is such a thing as a RWD Series Land Rover. A bunch of them were requested for some NATO convoy vehicle contract type thing, and Rover went “okay, what the fuck ever” and assembled them. They have a dummy or closed front axle case (can’t remember what that part looks like) and a plate over the front of the transfer case. Because of course they still have a transfer case. What were they going to do, engineer a different place for the driveshaft?

There are also of course FWD-only Series III rescue vehicles, because hydraulic low-deck flatbed.

The “4" stands for 4 wheels.

Our very own Wobbles the Mind has a 2WD Grand Cherokee. And his is new enough that it’s a front wheel drive Grand Cherokee.

Never makes sense.

Why? Nobody said it needed to be 4wd.

RAV4's acronym denotes 4wd. Jeep’s brand is built off a 4wd legacy. This is neither of those things.

Pleased to present for your consideration Mr. Booth Templeton, serious and successful star of over thirty Broadway plays, who is not quite all right today. Yesterday and its memories is what he wants, and yesterday is what he’ll get. Soon his years and his troubles will descend on him in an avalanche. In order not to be crushed, Mr. Booth Templeton will escape from his theater and his world and make his debut on another stage in another world that we call the Twilight Zone.

Coworker has a Toyota Highlander and never knew it was FWD.

Half a RAV4 is a nice idea. Would be a lot easier to get around when it’s parked in the fast lane.

Z71 is the off road package with 4 wheel drive. Z66 is the same but 2 wheel drive. I don’t get it.

and 100 more > Smallbear wants a modern Syclone, local Maple Leafs spammer 10/26/2017 at 15:05

But RAV4 is Toyota?

Milky > Smallbear wants a modern Syclone, local Maple Leafs spammer 10/26/2017 at 15:05

But like why would you spec the “off road” package but not want 4 wheel drive? Or better yet, why would chevy make a package and graphic for the person that just wants a LSD?

Say what? Cherokee is FWD, Grand Cherokee is still RWD.

But it has 5

Because the graphics package alone adds about $1000 to the price, because poseurs gonna poseu.

It’s not the off-road package. It’s actual name was “ Z66 Premium On-Road Suspension”.

Z66
Premium suspension with specially tuned load-leveling shocks, 17-inch wheels, P265/70R-17 tires, Traction Assist, rear locking differential and unique rubber floor mats with the gold Chevy bowtie.

Z71 Off-Road Package
17-inch wheels, P265/70R-17 on-/off-road tires, specially tuned shock absorbers, high capacity air cleaner, skid shields, rear locking differential and rubber floor mats with the gold Chevy bowtie.

Nah, all Grand are rear or better. Regular Cherokee fwd

Wat. Well I still think its stupid and since they don’t have anything like it, I’d say the market agreed. Just call it the tow group or whatever.

But I’ll quit calling it an off road package.

Z66 is actually a softer suspension for on-road. You could get a 2WD with Z71 though

Milky > Nibbles 10/26/2017 at 15:37

Small bear just enlightened me. But a 2wd Z71 sounds real stupid, IMHO.

This I can get behind. Off-road models should never be available with 2wd, unless 4wd isn’t available on ANY trim level

Nibbles > Milky 10/26/2017 at 15:47

I don’t know how many 2WD Z71s were sold, but the Z66 sold real well. It had remarkably good road manners and was as soft as a Cadillac (lol Escalade EXT)

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > functionoverfashion 10/26/2017 at 15:50

My sister had a RWD Isuzu Trooper when she lived in North Carolina. She had a hard time selling it when she moved to Wi.

Well in fairness, hers didn’t look like that.

Fun fact, she’s now working for Car and Driver (I think) and has an M3, among other interesting cars. And she takes the M3 on the track. She’s also a partner in blipshift.

Someone at my work has one (2wd) that is almost forest service green colored. It is very clean. Also only a 4cl.
