In The Canadian Military Vehicle Profile Series, Profile No 7 (the Gregg Series), the following is stated:
"Because of heavy front axle loading on CMP vehicles, it was found that performance was usually better and front tire wear less when operating in four wheel drive. Convoy driving was therefore usually conducted in four wheel drive in spite of the absence of an overriding gear to eliminate flight between front and rear wheels."
Comments from CMP owners???...this is a new one to me!
