After observing the 1/2 ton ifs and the failed differential disconnect system on the front end of a new chevy, I'd struggle to call any of them a real 4wd unless you're some urban fkn cowboy who plucks his eyebrows and drinks IPA micro brews.
Real four wheel drives are out there:
1960s-1980s chevys, Ford's, international scouts, landcruisers
Realest 4wd I ever saw, was farmer John Hetts 1991 (Palmer Alaska) flat bed one ton dodge with a cummins and a 5 speed. Ole boy would crawl a muddy, rutted trail pulling a custom trailer full of 9 round bales of hay.
He had over 200,000 farm miles on that thing.
