'06 Durango 4 WD
what would be a safe speed when 4 WD (wet, snow covered roads) is engaged?
I will be purchasingcamper which weights approx. 4000 lbs,should I keep the vehicle in AWD or 4WD ?
The questions I have about appropriate speeds when 4WD is engaged are not mentioned in the owners manual.

Remember that 4wd does not help you stop any faster. IIRC, the manual for my 01 states that 4high should not be selected at speeds above 55mph. If you have 4 low like my 01, you won't be able to go more than 25-30 since the gearing is so low you will be red lining the tach.
In this scenario, I would not be going very fast at all on snow covered roads especially ifI was towing any kind of load. Say maybe 20-30 mph max.
