You gotta remember tho, they were advertised and geared as the soccer mom type vehicle. The 4x4 on something like that is more of a reasurance for them when on the paved roads during winter use than worrying about anything off road.

Thanks guys, I have no problem with the standard on the fly vacuum hubs. With a pair of pliers, they pop out in a second and are easily serviced with a great tutorial thanks to Guzzle. I understand about limited slip and lock ups but wasn't quite sure what my newly acquired 2000 Ex actually had. I was hoping it was designed to be useful eq, backing my 5000 lb boat down a well kept gravel ramp, loosing traction on one wheel then having to get a frigging Toyota to pull you out 
Why bother making it a 4x4 if it's not done right. My take would have made a vehicle of this size when selecting Low Range, lock everything up. If driver knows what he/she is doing, no problem, if not then good for sales of Ford spare parts. Love my Ex, should have checked more as to what 4x4 options it had.
