New to 4x4 Explorer and not sure what to expect. We just had our first snowfall, 3-4" of slushy snow and went to test out the 4x4 on my recently-purchased 02 Explorer. I left it in 4x4 Auto and did a spin around the block. The snow is slushy so not too slick. Didn't feel anything kick in or out but not sure I should, either. I had no trouble getting around, didn't feel any wheel spin at all.
Does the 4x4 Low light on the dash light up when it kicks into 4x4 automatically? On my Mark VIII, the Traction Control light kicks on whenever it detects wheel spin. Does the Explorer tell you when it's automatically kicking in to 4x4 mode or is it meant to be seamless?
Sure is nice getting out of my neighborhood easily. The Mustang would've had some issues.
