Maybe they've fixed that in more modern vehicles.
I believe that - not sure why it happens (never bothered to look but I assumed it was because of additional drag caused by the 4wd parts even when not engaged and the additional weight of the drive components that a 2wd vehicle doesn't have)

Handle every stressful situation like a DOG: If you can't eat it or hump it, pi$$ on it & walk away.
