I've had 4wd 70s trucks, Scout, Blazer, pickups, 2wd & 4wd dump trucks, always had to lock the hubs and floor shifter, in my former snowplowing business so that's what I'm use to. For the most
We had a 2005 Toyota RAV4 AWD. It went well through the snow and in the rain, or pouring rain, I felt very safe on the Interstate at 70mph, most of the time having traction, seldom hydroplaning, Michelin tires. I always felt whether rain or snow the AWD was pulling me through. Everything I expected in AWD.
Now we have a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL+ AWD, Hankook tires. On the Interstate, in the rain, I'm scared. I've hydroplaned so many times, I slow down to 40-50mph and even at that speed I don't feel safe. The few light snows I've had here, I didn't feel I had traction, or had wheel spinning.
Is it the type of Hyundai's AWD or is it the tire tread or brand, that is not giving me the traction?
