if you have a locking differential then its no problem to go up there 1952 Jeep with a diff lock can do that.

here is the big heavy truck with only 2 wheel drive demonstrate this. LOL
start from 1.40 sec

the S-AWC is way better system the a honda SH-AWD. Besides the S-AWC is performance oriented not safety . Big difference.

I believe SH-AWD works pretty much the same way. It isn't able to vector torque front/rear, it has an clutch that is able to vary between full lock and full open, similar to what we have. The actual torque vectoring is in the rear diff only.

Even if they are the same, doesn't one vehicle weigh like 500lbs less than the other?
