Well the saying is there's no dumb ones, but I was in the process of getting my first Wrangler, and couldn't figure out if I wanted to get the Rubicon or the Sahara.
After lurking I realized the Rubicon is a great deal, but it seems to be missing the all-important full time AWD of the Sahara (which is an option i'd like to have).
My question is: Why doesn't the Rubicon or any of the other models offer full time AWD? I'm assuming there's lots of situations where you're driving at higher speed on relatively slippery services and having instantaneous torque transfer to any of the tires would help immensely.
For example, if i'm going up to Lake Tahoe on a highway at around 35-45mph and it's raining heavily or even snowing, but not enough that I would want to shift into 4H on something like the Rubicon, wouldn't it behoove me to have full time AWD?
Thanks for the answer, because I cannot decide now if i'm going Rubicon or Sahara because of this concern. Or is my concern unfounded?
