Currently interested in buying a 2010 Suburban but questioning the 4 WD set up in this one. See posted pic, this is what the dash looks like showing 2 hi - auto - and 4 hi. I've seen others with a selector knob showing 2hi - auto- 4hi and 4 lo.
Whats the difference? I know in the pic there is no 4 low selection, that's apparent - but when it's in 4hi mode is it TRUE 4 WD? Or some type of limited slip/AWD set up which IMO is not a better set up for ice and snow. I've googled the heck out of this topic and come up empty. I live up in the CO Rockies where I need a solid 4x4 system and don't want any rinky d ink AWD/hybrid set ups that don't fully engage all 4 and/or work on a limited slip some basis of sorts. I am almost assuming that this vehicle has possibly some rinky-din k 4x4...or maybe I'm totally wrong and that when its in 4hi the front and rear is always engaged. And the only difference is that it has no 4 low. Any help is super-appreciated.
