Hello...

AWD has been on the Lincon MarkLT since it came out? Check that section of the board...or not a good place to look since I just checked and there are 2 post.

Good luck!

They have had the auto 4wd on explorers for awhile. I havent heard of any crazy problems with these. From my experience they do work rather well in slick conditions. Good luck with the purchase! If you buy you need to post some pics!

Some of the Harley F150s have the AWD system as well.

My dad has had an 06 and 07 Harley truck, both AWD and had good results. Gas mileage was about the same too, like avg 17 mpg's in the winter even, but he drives like he's 90 and blind so..... Now my brother has an 08 Limited (wife's) and an 08 Harley (his). The only thing is, burnouts are kinda tough to do

Do it, they're really nice trucks and the paint is sweet.

I think, don't quote me, but don't ALL Harley trucks 2006 and newer come AWD?

Search for spark plug and you will find that yes, this has been resolved, now the 04-07 plugs can seize in the head and cause you a costly repair. There is another post somewhere here that states that around October 07 this issue has also been remedied.

No. It's an option.

Ha ha, my yo-yo brother whines all the time about how he can't spin his tires, he's very impulsive and couldn't wait to order one. Saves him from buying tires every year or so though!

I used to have a 97 Mercury Mountaineer with AWD, I'd suppose it's pretty similar but it was nice. It's sort of like automatic 4WD. It's there when you need it and not when you don't. No problems with the drivetrain for the 10 years I owned it, worked great.
