However, if you are even remotely thinking of towing somethings then absolutely get the 4WD AND the factory installed trailer towing package !
The flip side is, if you will never be towing and are primarily going to use it on pavement, then you should seriously consider the 4 cylinder engine. I drove my sisters '09 and was very pleasant surprised at the performance as well as the mileage ! |
When the same drivetrain system is used in the Edge or Fusion, Ford calls it AWD. It's a so called "on demand" system and under normal driving conditions on dry pavement, torque is sent to the rear wheels every time you lightly accelerate from a stop. Even the Ford manual refers to it as AWD.
