That's definitely not correct. My 4x4 has a 5-speed transmission (6 if you count reverse), and in addition has the choice of 2H, 4H, and 4L. Many older 4x4's have 3-speed automatic transmission. --- asimovd@aol.com wrote:

I have to agree with Bernie here: The 4-speed transmission, and the 4-wheel drive.
