Jul 24, 2024 · Looking to buy a decent used car fro my daughter. Settled on a choice between 2 of the same models with some difference 1. 2020 Nissan Rogue SV AWD 63K miles 2. 2020 Nissan Rogue SV FWD 53K miles. Price is pretty much same. Before I sit down to negotiate I wanted input which model works best in pretty much normal weather with no snow i.e. …

Sep 27, 2011 · The difference between fwd and awd is the type of differential. On most awd systems, somewhere in the system is some type of limited slip device, and a different tire will chew that up. On most (but not all) fwd cars there is no limited slip device, so two slightly-different sized tires will not result in a quick mechanical failure.

Oct 25, 2014 · With a FWD truck putting weight in the far back could decrease traction in front and make for a truck that slipped going up Hills and handled badly. AND makes a lot of sense for trucks, but adds cost and weight. The little VW and Dodge/Plymouth FWD trucks sold in very modest numbers, though I recall the VW being popular with gardening services.

Jan 22, 2025 · I just find out that one of the previous owners put 175 65r15 tires on my used 09 Focus. The right size is 195 60r15. So I went to a shop and bought two toyo 195 tires for the back only. Then when i get paid ill get the front ones next week. I needed to change the rear ones because one was flat and both were in bad shape. My work is only like 15m away, will this …

Jul 21, 2015 · Given your location, AWD is not needed, FWD is fine. I agree that Southern PA doesn’t get enough snow to warrant. But I completely disagree that there isn’t a difference AWD vs FWD. We own all three. FWD Lexus, 4wd 4runner and AWD Highlander. There’s significant difference in handling and acceleration with AWD or 4wd over FWD.

Feb 20, 2010 · The problem is, they never transfer as much power as a full lock and only on one axle. Traction control is a good and safer compromise as it’s much cheaper to add to a fwd, works nearly as well as limited slip but at the expense of brakes while providing better modulated control for steering on the front.

Sep 6, 2016 · If it’s a FWD with a manual transmission, the wheel you turn will spin the ring gear (sometimes called a “crown gear” 'cause it looks kind of like a crown), which will turn the opposing wheel in the opposite direction. If it’s in neutral, you can …

Feb 3, 2010 · My rear drive Caprice with positraction and good winter tires walked through this stuff easily. It was our “ski car” for a long time. Both our FWD cars with Michelin X-ICE winter tires do OK as well. In deep snow, ground clearance becomes an issue. A FWD-only SUV type vehicle like the HOnda CRV, RAV 4, Toyota Matrix would do well.

Feb 9, 2025 · I am replacing all of the struts on my 2004 Toyota Corolla with new quick-struts. I already did the passenger side, which was not too difficult, and cleaned up the rotor with a sanding block and fine-grit sandpaper, and replaced the brake pads. Today, I pulled the driver side strut, and even though I put something under the control arm to prop it up, the drive shaft …

Aug 22, 2009 · curb weight FWD: 3298 (166lbs lighter) gross weight fwd: 4380 (140 lbs lighter) MPG: 18/23/20 (1/2/1 MPG better) You’ve got the weight of the center and rear differential, plus all the energy required to move those extra parts. And, as you can see, there’s only a couple MPG difference between the 2, which could be negated by careful driving ...
