I love these kind of videos when he sits down and feels like he’s talking to you one on one. I actually finish the video knowing I’ve learned something new.
Yeh, he's a relaxed calm, smart person.....try to surround yourself with people like him & avoid hyper, loudmouth, drama-queen people who are up themselves & your anxiety will improve tremendously 👍
This is not right, You should be on Toyota’s payroll for life… no one explains things better than you and it’s clear to understand with details… I really appreciate the time you spend on this channel… Thank you
Scotty Kilmer is our wise old grandfather Toyota loving mechanic and AMD is THE best high school auto mechanics Toyota loving teacher we could ever have. I wish he'd been my auto mechanics teacher back in high school, but super glad we have him now this way! My first video of his was his 3rd gen Prius traction battery cooling fan filter video where he very kindly and thoroughly explained the need and installation. Been watching ever since.
I had to show that to numerous owners that 25 mph limit, because they thought that Toyota has some kind of "high end AWD" in their "cute SUV" segment... No Limited Slip, no central differential... PS: I have a RAV4 too... not a hater, just realist.
On the Prius AWD, we have a small electric motor on the rear wheels that provides 10HP and is activated from stop up to around 10 mph then whenever the front wheels spin…works great on icy roads and up icy hills.
I believe it's been covered in several already. There's a second electric motor/generator in the rear and no physical connection to the front. Works great in my Rav4 hybrid in snow and on gravel roads. It also applies brakes to specific wheels to help minimize slipping.
The new Lexus "full time AWD" from what I've read (latest NX and RX, not sure about other models) is very similar to the standard AWD shown in the video, except it simply uses an upgraded magnetic clutch and keeps the rear wheels at least partially driving at all times.
Because of You Sir and other Social Media Specialists, I purchased a 23' GX at a great discount and feel Secure/Safe . Reliability plays a huge role IMO in these times of uncertainty. Newest tech on transportation does Not fit well for me until most kinks are fixed which can take many years. Again Thanks for your knowledge . PS.... Wish you had a Shop in Southern NJ😂
I learn so much from this guy. Watching his videos inclines me toward buying Toyota products in the future, I have owned plenty in the past. I am also a Honda fan, currently driving an Acura.
Thanks for this video. Very informative and helpful. 2 years ago my 2013 Venza's coupler was leaking oil and spraying all over the back and into the trunk. I think the bearing was worn out. Dealer quoted me 4000CAD for the coupler and labour. I looked up in ebay and found a reseller from Japan . Paid 800 for the coupler. Fixed the whole thing for $1800 including labour and tax.
If it was spraying or leaking oil it was probably the pinion oil seal. That could be replaced relatively cheaply without replacing the coupler. I've read about some people changing just the bearing too.
It’s possible. I also remember fidgeting with the pressure release cap that sits on top of the differential. It was rusted but definitely not stuck. And judging by the spray pattern i was convinced it was the coupler.
Another great video. You explain it so a non mechanical person can grasp it. As a past wheel/track mechanic in the army i always look forward to you passing on your knowledge. With technology the way the new cars/trucks are it is a great way to keep up from your videos.
Excellent video. I have a 2006 Matrix 4WD with 218,000k miles. It has the non-electronic viscous coupler that has been repaired twice: First, the larger VC bearing was replaced at 88k (sounded like a jet engine), second the VC housing was replaced at 193k (the larger steel bearing had worn out it's seat in the aluminum housing, creating play as it rotated). Also, I do a drain and fill every 30k on transmission (Type-IV), transfer case, and rear differential (Mobil 1 75w90 gear oil).
I absolutely love this series. Just how the background is set with the lighting and have the actual equipment right on the table, and speaking to us like it’s a one on one Will you ever do a video of how simply set the background and the lighting? Maybe even as a shorts?
Great video. I have always considered AWD to be marketing noise because it can mean almost anything. It is great to see what it can mean for the different Toyota configurations.
Can you please show us how to differentiate the regular AWD system and the torque vectoring system when we see under the car? The last example is the regular AWD system? Thanks in advance for all this videos.
Always enjoy your videos, and have found them to be very helpful in keeping my wife’s 2014 Sienna AWD on the road. I’m going to add a comment to this video in particular in the chance it may help another Sienna owner in the future. At approximately 110k miles her van started making a very high pitched whining noise from the rear end of the vehicle. I checked both rear hubs and they were fine, so I did some looking online and found a description of the problem that appeared to match the one I was experiencing. It had to do with the bearings in the AWD coupler you mentioned in your video. I know the internet can be a place where issues can seem to take on a life of their own, but looking through the various posts and videos this NOISE did not seem to be that uncommon of an issue on Sienna’s. As you mentioned the coupler itself can be replaced as an assembly but after seeing the price for the OEM part I decided to go the route of replacing the bearings, seal and dust ring. The parts were available for well under $200, and since I used to turn wrenches for a living a long time ago I figured I had little to loose other than some time and possibly some money making the fix vs replacing. There’s a couple of videos out there showing the process, so I watched them and then tackled the one on my wife’s van. This is NOT something I’d recommend for those who aren’t mechanically inclined, but it also wasn’t something where you needed to be a master technician to accomplish. Made the repair about 50k ago and am happy to report the noise immediately went away and my wallet was very thankful I took the chance at making the repair. Just thought I’d throw this out there for anyone who’s so inclined to repair the coupler themselves. Again, thanks for all your videos and sharing your tremendous knowledge with Toyota products.
My 5th Gen RAV4 is pretty great in the snow. I got stuck once because I bottomed it out and the snow froze. That was totally my fault though, I'm still learning this winter stuff.
You’re one of the most knowledgeable techs that I would even begin to listen to here on TH-cam. Your content is factual, and based on actual experience rather than theory. I can appreciate the time and candor that Troy put into a video for us viewers and other mechanics who need this type of information! Thank you greatly!
Excellent. Watched tons of your videos now - I am one of those people who used to say 'I know nothing about cars'. Well, not any more thanks to you. Thank you for your time and talent.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your balance of the technical talk. It's not so deep, that I fall asleep, its not so simple, that I don't learn.
I recently bought my son a Rav4 XLE Hybrid for earning his doctorate in mechanical engineering, and it's such a nice vehicle I'm now thinking about getting one for my wife. It's tough to beat 41 mpg, all-wheel-drive, Toyota Safety Sense, great engineering and reliability all in one package. I'm waiting on a next gen 4Runner for myself.
The only negative thing I can say about this and other videos on this site is that I don't get a college credit for watching them. Simply speaking I learn more from watching The Car Care Nut videos than I learned from taking college courses!
The AWD 4Runners just have a center differential that is lockable. By having a center differential, you don't need to worry about front and rear axle speed difference anymore. The only drawback is it's always sending power front to back which causes drivetrain drag and reduce fuel economy. It is however a better system because it is a full time AWD system meaning it always send torque to all wheels regardless speed. Most car AWD systems are "part time" meaning it will disengage above certain speeds to have less drive train drag to better fuel economy.
These are the BEST videos, IMHO (how components work). I never knew that towing an AWD vehicle with wheels on the ground will damage the drive train. This is also true with Toyota Hybrids without AWD. On Hybrids, you can generate electricity if towing with the front tires on the ground and potentially start a fire.
Older Toyotas had actual center differentials, thus they had the tag "full time 4wd", a little less efficient but very solid to drive... i have a corolla ae110 with full time 4wd, it's like driving an under powered but reliable sports saloon, more stable at highway speed, literally skips over mud, wet weather means nothing, and a little bit more ground clearance.
Depending where you go, ground clearance might be a limiting factor. You should be fine on the main roads if there is no fresh snow. Snow storms are common in Japanese snowy areas and if it winds, the corolla might bottom out. Especially on a sightseeing trip I assume the goal to is to see the scenery and more remote places.
Interesting video. We previously had a 10' RX350 AWD. Previous owner replaced thr transfer case, for what reason we'll never know. When we got it the passenger output seal leaked. New seals and a new axle never solved it. Which led me to assume maybe the t-case was replaced due to this issue and the problem returned, and they dumped it and then i was the lucky new owner of the problem. We never did figure it out and at this point doesnt matter I guess, but still perplexed me and many techs. Ended up dumping it ourselves to Caravana, and then followed the vin. It ended up at auction and shipped to Ukraine of all places.
What Toyota & Lexus models are equipped with a 'torque-vectoring AWD system'? By the way, what a kind man you are, making such an informative lecture available for us! Thank you.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits, such as regularly setting aside money for sound investments...
After watching so many TH-cam tutorial videos on trading, I was still making losses until Mr. Ricky wen started managing my investment. Now I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Mr. Ricky wen as he has a blessing to my family.
Thank for you for the informative video on Toyota AWD system. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge as a more informed and better educated consumer prevents those crooked mechanics from taking advatange of us hard working folks. We are willing to pay, if we know we are NOT being taken advantage of. Honesty and integrity from mechanics is priceless and you are one of these dying breed of mechanics. Keep these videos coming, I feel like you are a mechanic professor and this is how you make this world a better place by making these videos!
You said AWD is done in two ways, and this is the car version. Would love to see the chassis on frame version. I've had my RHD 3.0L diesel 95 series Land Cruiser since 2001 that came with "Full Time AWD" and have heard many times the mechanic say there is no viscous coupling, so learning about the magic that has prevented me ever getting bogged would be awesome.
Great video their car care nut , now it is time to put out a video on the Hybrid Rav 4 all-wheel drive electric motor in the back can you tell us how that works .
The rear axle on a hybrid is an e-axle (electric motor operated), there’s no mechanical connection to engine and rear wheels. When needed the rear axle engages by the battery via inverter to send power to it. It can also reverse polarity during regenerative braking and operate as a generator to recapture energy to the battery like the front motor (and the motor that starts the engine).
Nice clear explanation. Re. towing, assuming electromagnet would not be powered, then clutch would not be engaged with differential. So clutch should not get hot...
Thank you Amd. I always wanted to learn how the awd system works. Thought of converting an older Corolla to awd but cost prohibitive and with rear disc like the Matrix or Vibe.
Excellent presentation. Thank you. Was hoping you would mention and discuss the hybrid and Prime versions of AWD as well. I know that there is just an electric motor in the back but some under-car pictures of it and a comparison would be great. Probably more of this version being made now that the hardware version? Most folks probably don't even know the difference.
Excellent video from AMD as usual (explaining the mechanical operation of the AWD systen). A few more comments would have been appreciated. - what is owner's maintenance responsibilites of the AWD (eg, gear oil change at X miles)? What is the expected life of the car's AWD system? - How effective is Toyota/Lexus' AWD in real world driving conditions? In normal driving conditions (AWD Lock Off/TCS On), if front wheels slip, how fast do the rear wheels get power? - If the towing service damages any of the AWD components (or any part of the car for that matter), is the towing service responsible for $damages? - Should one still buy an AWD car for the 0.001% of total drive time the front wheels slip say when a street light turns green and the road is slippery wet; when rarely stuck in mud, etc? Thanks AMD!
With this system you mentioned do not put different size tires side to side which makes sense. How about 2 new tires on the rear and 2 half worn tires on the front. I could not afford 4 new tires all at once but also don't want to destroy my AWD system. Thanks, Chris

You make difficult topics so easy to understand and your knowledge is impressive. How many mechanics in this country know what "time domain multiplexing is?"
I'd love it if you can do another video about the beefier systems in the trucks, like the Torsen and diff locks in like a 2008 4runner. I think Torsens are one of the most beautiful things ever created
Thanks! I've always wondered how my AWD 2016 Lexus RX operates. Great breakdown and tips! Glad I went with LEXUS genius simplicity, quality and dependability . . .
Some say that if a tire goes bad 0n a All Wheel Drive , All the tires should be replaced because it throws the AW drive computer off if repaired or replaced and can cause malfunction . Is this so?
@8:02 we definitely could have had that talk long back when I put myself in trouble doing that on my Rav4 🤦♂️ I trade in the Rav4 and got myself a 4Runner. I'm glad now whether my foot on gas or not, whether I'm doing 10mph or 100mph when I'm in 4H, I'm in 4WD. Absolutely loving this tank in snow.
Speaking of 4runners, can you please do a detailed video on 4runner and GX full time 4wd system. When I look at my drive shaft on my 4runner I see both spinning all the time. Can you explain how the power distribute front and back? Maybe even talk about 4th Gen 4runner V6 that has center diff but still has 2H, the multimode 4wd system?
why I went with the normal FWD and ABS braking on my 23 Corolla Cross. Thank goodness one can still order one like this. More money in the 4-wheel drive vehicles they seem to 'push' onto folks that will in actuality/ never need. Up-Selling I believe they call it. My days are long gone driving on roads that aren't plowed or salted. Less parts/ less cost/ less repairs and maintenance. I have had 3 FWD vehicles in the last 37 years. And never been in a ditch.
I love these kind of videos when he sits down and feels like he’s talking to you one on one. I actually finish the video knowing I’ve learned something new.

Excellent video on unitized awd systems. Most people don't realize that they decouple at 25 mph.
Do they still do that? I thought they stopped that with the newer ones?
Ditto
I had to show that to numerous owners that 25 mph limit, because they thought that Toyota has some kind of "high end AWD" in their "cute SUV" segment...
No Limited Slip, no central differential...
PS: I have a RAV4 too... not a hater, just realist.
i heard about that i had a coworker who had a 4x4 toyota FJ Cruiser and said it goes away after 25mph
Not all of them decouple. The earlier Sienna and Highlander systems are on all the time.
Thanks for the very educational video! Could you do a similar video on the AWD system in the newer Hybrids?
On the Prius AWD, we have a small electric motor on the rear wheels that provides 10HP and is activated from stop up to around 10 mph then whenever the front wheels spin…works great on icy roads and up icy hills.

It would be nice if you did a video like this but for the V8 model 4runners that are AWD also, love the video's keep up the awsome content.

You’ll save on tires too because on AWD systems all the tires have to match.

How is the trailer going to move if it has no wheels on it.
@@Mr-pn2eh what he means is if you are getting your car towed. Not to have the wheels on the ground of you ruin your car's awd system
@@Mr-pn2eh Put it on a flatbed truck or put a dolly under all wheels.
Now do one on part time vs full time 4WD on the 4R vs LC
Older Toyotas had actual center differentials, thus they had the tag "full time 4wd", a little less efficient but very solid to drive... i have a corolla ae110 with full time 4wd, it's like driving an under powered but reliable sports saloon, more stable at highway speed, literally skips over mud, wet weather means nothing, and a little bit more ground clearance.
Can confirm that Toyota's AWD works well. Rented the worlds fastest car (Awd Yaris(non GR)) for a trip around Hokkaido in Winter.
Depending where you go, ground clearance might be a limiting factor.
You should be fine on the main roads if there is no fresh snow.

Most folks probably don't even know the difference.
Totally agree - would like to see a discussion of the latest hybrid system.
Great contribution to the society for a better, safter living.
Excellent video from AMD as usual (explaining the mechanical operation of the AWD systen). A few more comments would have been appreciated.
- what is owner's maintenance responsibilites of the AWD (eg, gear oil change at X miles)? What is the expected life of the car's AWD system?
- How effective is Toyota/Lexus' AWD in real world driving conditions? In normal driving conditions (AWD Lock Off/TCS On), if front wheels slip, how fast do the rear wheels get power?
- If the towing service damages any of the AWD components (or any part of the car for that matter), is the towing service responsible for $damages?
- Should one still buy an AWD car for the 0.001% of total drive time the front wheels slip say when a street light turns green and the road is slippery wet; when rarely stuck in mud, etc?
Thanks AMD!
With this system you mentioned do not put different size tires side to side which makes sense. How about 2 new tires on the rear and 2 half worn tires on the front. I could not afford 4 new tires all at once but also don't want to destroy my AWD system. Thanks, Chris
Thanks for the cool info. My curiosity now is where does the hybrid parts intersect? The electric motor stuff.
The rear axle on a hybrid is an e-axle (electric motor operated), there’s no mechanical connection to engine and rear wheels. When needed the rear axle engages by the battery via inverter to send power to it. It can also reverse polarity during regenerative braking and operate as a generator to recapture energy to the battery like the front motor (and the motor that starts the engine).
You make difficult topics so easy to understand and your knowledge is impressive. How many mechanics in this country know what "time domain multiplexing is?"
Great video 👍
Great video for young technicians like us
I'd love it if you can do another video about the beefier systems in the trucks, like the Torsen and diff locks in like a 2008 4runner. I think Torsens are one of the most beautiful things ever created
I’m curious on the hybird all wheel drive system.
Very interesting information. Thanks.
Very informative, your vids are the best.
Thanks! I've always wondered how my AWD 2016 Lexus RX operates. Great breakdown and tips! Glad I went with LEXUS genius simplicity, quality and dependability . . .
Thank you for very good information
Awd system in toyota has costed me already 3500 bucks. Viscous coupling😢. Not a fan of awd in toyota. Since then I am buying only fwd.
AMD does AWD! Very nice video with excellent explanations. Super interesting. Thanks.
Excellent video. thank you for creating it!
RAV4 adventure has rear “true “ torque vectoring. Sport mode in RAV4 gives 10% power to rear when engaged with sport button.
AMD, thanks for that. Very informative. Could you do a similar video on the GX/LX 4wd system?
I also would like to know on my LX570
Some say that if a tire goes bad 0n a All Wheel Drive , All the tires should be replaced because it throws the AW drive computer off if repaired or replaced and can cause malfunction . Is this so?
I have a 2015 RAV4, learned plenty, thank you.
@8:02 we definitely could have had that talk long back when I put myself in trouble doing that on my Rav4 🤦♂️ I trade in the Rav4 and got myself a 4Runner. I'm glad now whether my foot on gas or not, whether I'm doing 10mph or 100mph when I'm in 4H, I'm in 4WD. Absolutely loving this tank in snow.
Speaking of 4runners, can you please do a detailed video on 4runner and GX full time 4wd system. When I look at my drive shaft on my 4runner I see both spinning all the time. Can you explain how the power distribute front and back? Maybe even talk about 4th Gen 4runner V6 that has center diff but still has 2H, the multimode 4wd system?
Beautiful video. Thank you buddy. God bless
This guy is amazing, Thank you Car Car Nut Channel, keep up the good work.
What about the hybrid AWD?
Another great video thank you. Learnt a lot
You're videos. Just keep getting better and the lighting as well. Excellent 👍
Super. Please do a similar video for the hybrid AWD system
Very helpful thank you.
why I went with the normal FWD and ABS braking on my 23 Corolla Cross. Thank goodness one can still order one like this. More money in the 4-wheel drive vehicles they seem to 'push' onto folks that will in actuality/ never need. Up-Selling I believe they call it.
My days are long gone driving on roads that aren't plowed or salted.
Less parts/ less cost/ less repairs and maintenance.
I have had 3 FWD vehicles in the last 37 years. And never been in a ditch.
I learn so much from watching your channel. Thank you!!!!
