Trying to justify considering AWD models, e.g. Subaru CrossTrek and Mazda CX-30 although I will likely never use AWD in the deep south.
I was gonna haggle.................then I saw N.O. Yeah, if there is a FWD CRV out there, bet not much difference other than some parts to hold the tail dragging wheels out back.No, avoid the complexity of AWD and go FWD.
tell that to my stupid AWD Ford Edge and its failure prone components!

Are there any vehicles you're looking at which offer either AWD or FWD versions? The two you've mentioned here do not.Trying to justify considering AWD models, e.g. Subaru CrossTrek and Mazda CX-30 although I will likely never use AWD in the deep south.
Ford is clueless on AWD. Subaru is core part of vehicle and Mazda mentioned is not known to have issues with it.tell that to my stupid AWD Ford Edge and its failure prone components!
SUVs no longer car based in modern vehicles. They happen to share platforms that are engineered for SUV and cars from the start. No maker out there is engineering car first as it’s not profitable.Awd “suv” are really just cars anyway.
Some heavier trucks will have significantly different suspension designs in 2wd and 4WD forms, my two Dodge Ram CTD trucks for example.
But a car based suv is that.
IDK about all that. My 04 AWD 3.0 Escape would take exception to your comment. It really is a great snow vehicle, extremely stable. I have AT tires on it so maybe that helps.Ford is clueless on AWD. Subaru is core part of vehicle and Mazda mentioned is not known to have issues with it.
Same difference. Though I’m not one of those people who push frame or nothing, they are not trucks.SUVs no longer car based in modern vehicles. They happen to share platforms that are engineered for SUV and cars from the start. No maker out there is engineering car first as it’s not profitable.
