Puddle, I've had a similar curiosity. I've noticed the same thing up here in AK even on all the snow-packed and icy roads and parking lots. I run in 4x4 a lot up here and notice some front binding at more than moderate steering angles. My question is with the new Torsen Differential in my '12, shouldn't it be differentiating the speed of the wheels? This isn't a locked front diff like in my F-250, correct? Or, am I completely wrong?Both rear wheels are not rotating together at the same speed just because you turn on 4x4. Entering 4x4 does nothing to the rear diff. However, if you engage the electrically locking rear differential, then they will rotate at the same speed because they are locked. I would agree with your statements if you are talking about most (at least heavy duty, I think) front diffs on 4x4s. My '04 F-250 binds like a beyotch because the front end is locked.
