And when you still have multiple drive wheels in contact with the roads, with AWD, it reduces the chance of hydroplaning.

Sure if all 4 tires hydroplane you’re screwed. Same as with being on ice. No system will help with ice either.

How AWD Systems Distribute Power All-Wheel Drive systems are designed to maximize traction by intelligently distributing the engine’s torque to all four wheels. In slippery conditions like snow, mud, or on patchy ice, AWD detects a wheel beginning to spin and redirects power away from that slipping wheel to one or more wheels that still maintain grip. This constant management of rotational force allows the vehicle to accelerate and maintain momentum where two-wheel drive systems would falter. The core mechanism of AWD is to manage wheel slip and apply torque where it is most effective. Modern systems use electronic sensors and clutches or differentials to split the power between the front and rear axles, and sometimes between individual left and right wheels. However, this entire process relies on the assumption that at least one of the four tires is still in physical contact with the road and can generate traction. When a car is fully hydroplaning, all four tires are lifted, making the torque distribution function of AWD irrelevant to regaining control.

AWD has incredible stability on flooded roads as well. It greatly reduces hydroplaning. Almost every Subaru and Lexus LX and GX is AWD as well as Land Cruisers.

Following for upcoming trip.

Who do you get to do the PRP treatment?

I can’t recall the name of the movie, but wasn’t there a Jean Claude Van Damme movie set in the Nola/South La areas?

Not sure if mentioned, but James Bond Live and Let Die.

West Florida Republic

The Republic of West Florida, officially the State of Florida, was a short-lived unrecognized republic in the western region of Spanish West Florida for just over 2+1/2 months during 1810. In December, 1810, the United States occupied and annexed the Republic of West Florida. The governor of Orleans Territory designated the land comprising it as the County of Feliciana. The land was added to Louisiana on August 4, 1812, following an act of Congress passed earlier that year. In 1990, the region that was previously the Republic of West Florida was officially recognized as a historical region of the U.S., the "Republic of West Florida Historic Region", commonly referred to as the Florida Parishes

Cool, thanks!

Let us know the result if you get it checked. We were looking at a SQ.
