The Toyota Land Cruiser and the Toyota 4Runner are both highly capable offroad vehicles, but, which one has the better fourwheeldrive system? All Land Cruisers come with FullTime 4WD, where as most 4Runners come with PartTime 4WD. In this video we’ll explain exactly how both systems work, what the advantages are of each, and ultimately discuss which system is superior. The Toyota Tacoma has the same 4WD system as the 4Runner, so anything in this video that applies to the 4Runner also applies to the Tacoma.

Once we have a general understanding of how transfer cases work, we'll dive into the following questions:
How does the low range gear selection work?
How does the fulltime system create a 40/60 torque split?
How does the Torsen center differential work?
How does the parttime system select 4WD?
