yes
There is no transfer case on a 2 wheel drive truck.
Generally speaking, a front wheel drive vehicle is better for driving in snow. This is because the weight of the engine rests on the driving wheels, allowing them to achieve better traction.
The benefit of driving 4 wheel drive cars is that you have the option to engage or disengage the four wheel drive when you need to. Four wheel drive is great on low traction surfaces (off road, snow, etc.).
No, only properly equipped four wheel drives with a Neutral position in the transfer case.
2-wheel drive wouldn't have a transfer case
Set the 4-wheel drive shift stick all the way to the top that says 2 H and this will engage the rear wheel drive only for normal to high speed driving on smooth and level surface. Next notch down is the 4 H which will engage the allÊwheel drive for normal to high speed driving on slightly rough but level surface. Next notch down is neutral. An the last notch down is 4 L which engages all wheel drive for uphill driving on rough surface.
All wheel drive means all 4 wheels are driving the vehicle. RWD means only the rear wheels are driving the vehicle, and FWD means only the front wheels are driving the vehicle.
Rear wheel drive mechnism
The Sportage is a front engine, front wheel drive car, with a four wheel drive option (but that still uses the front wheel drive transaxle, and runs the transfer case off of that).
2 high, is 2 wheel drive which is where you should be when driving on the highway.2 high, is 2 wheel drive which is where you should be when driving on the highway.
Could it be engineered in such a fashion? Certainly. As for doing it yourself, there are some custom transfer case builders who build transfer cases which can be set to front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, then there'll be a couple different four wheel drive settings, but these are very niche products, and extremely expensive.
