It's only really built for intermittent engagement. So I don't think there's a transfer case that's AWD that is functional for the 600ft/lbs. I can't think of any anyway. Maybe there's something out there I'm not thinking of?
That's my guess anyway. And that would make sense why there's no hybrid LC300. Maybe it's on its way?
Plus side is there's likely to be a lot of used lc200s getting traded on these, so the market will probably come back down a bunch by next year.
