The biggest difference in part-time and full-time 4WD is that in PT the
front axle turns just slightly faster than the rear. This gives the vehicle
more of a pulling effect (like a front wheel drive) to keep it stable on
slick surfaces. This puts a lot of stress on the system on dry pavement.
Being safe on wet roads is not as bad but not as good as slick or loose
material. I wouldn't want full time. Just causes more tire wear than is
needed.
Just my 2bits. :)
