AWD is great in my son;s Subaru WRX. When you stomp on the gas as the light turns green and the crosswalk paint is wet from rain, the tires do not slip. Handles real well in the corners when the turbo kicks in also.
These two features are not useful when towing, but they are great fun in themselves.
2wd with a locking differential would be better than 2wd, if it meets your requirements.
I'll stick with 4wd. In years past I have had locking front hubs. But they just don't seem to be around much anymore.
If you have 2wd then you can't go where I go.
If you have 4wd, there is a good chance that you don't want to go with me.
On one occasion I used 4wd in an RV park. The roads and pads were grave. Leaving my site was a hard 90 degree right turn from a near level pad onto a 30 degree uphills slope.
There are times when I use low range. 2wd does not have that. I have never seen low range on AWD.
