The 4x4 vehicles equipped with AWD will run all wheels all the time. The
4x4 non-AWD will have to be put into that driving mode by the driver.

The All Wheel Drive doesn't run it in 4x4 mode all the
time from what I understand. It kicks in when it
senses slipage from one of the rear wheels. I think
your rear wheel horsepower would not be effected until
it kicks into 4x4 mode. Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
