Hi,
Just started towing , have an amara and pulling with a Peugeot 4007 , which is basically a rebadged outlander.
It has a switch that does... Two wheel drive... 4 wheel drive And four wheel drive lock , ie on all wheel drive all the time.
Tried towing to the site in 4 wheel locked, on return , on two wheel drive, and the mpg monitor on the dash told me I averaged 4 mpg better in all wheel drive, so obviously that's the way to go, but to me it doesn't make sense, thoughts ?
TIA

Hi brian, My current car is permanent 4x4 buy my previous car an X Trail had 2 wheel drive 4x4 and 4x4 lock like yours however the 4x4 lock was intended for off roading and was only for using at lower speeds up to 30 mph as more than this could damage 4x4 system according to manual. I don't know if yours is the same but might be worth checking.
