I just picked up a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer (I'll post pics at some point). On the back of the truck it says AWD and inside there are no 4x4 selector switches. I drove the truck in the rain yesterday and when I was making a turn I gave it some extra throttle and to my surprise the rear tires spun a little, then there was a definitive 4x4 lockup feeling. This is exactly how my old 2003 Explorer drove.
So question is, is the mountaineer truly "all wheel drive", or simply auto 4x4?
