2008 Mountaineer AWD

I tried to change the oil on my 2008 Mountaineer with AWD, the truck would not drive up my Rhino Ramps! The front wheels kept rolling backwards and the Rhino Ramps kept shifting away from the car. I had no problem driving up the same ramps in my old 2002 Mountaineer with AWD. I heard the 2008 has a new AWD system, but does that mean it doesn't drive the front wheels at all? I would think the system would have to drive the front wheels somewhat. The system is not driving the front wheels at all. Is the AWD system functioning correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Get out in some wet grass and see if just the rear wheels spin, or if it just grabs and goes..
