Excerpt from article on Canadian Driver web site:
"Six-cylinder models come with a part-time four-wheel drive system while
V8's get a more sophisticated full-time system complete with two-speed
transfer case. The Torsion center differential apportions power 40%/60%
front/rear under normal circumstances changing that delivery is slippage
is detected. It can be locked by a switch on the instrument panel for
maximum traction."
