part time, for driving in 4 wheel off road
full time, for driving 4 wheel on/off road on loose pavement and hard normal 4x4
Neutral, when being towed

I did not know that. I figured either of the 4x4 would work for non pavement.

they do but full time allows the slipage needed for street use...it techincaly is 2wd then when a wheel slpis then it sends power to others theat have grip vs the part tim it is sending power to the front and the rear. I like using the full time when in playin around in sand or driving along way in level dirt as it tends to keep the striaght .
full time is for snow also
