Default AWD Question

How much power can the 3rd gen awd IS send to the front wheels, ive read it can go from 30/70 to 50/50. Ive even heard it can go to 70/30 under certain conditions. I live in a snowy climate.

Up to 50%. It's usually 30% F / 70% R full-time using a planetary gear center differential, a chain drive in the transfer case, and a clutch pack.

The above is a great description of the AWD system.
