feare Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hello! Wondering if there's an easy(ish) way to tell if my 2009 Journey RT is 2WD or AWD? I bought it used and the paperwork didn't specifically list AWD so I want to assume that it's 2WD but as the car is top of the line everything else I just want to be sure either way. Thanks for any help/direction in figuring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Crawl underneath it... if it is 2WD there will be nothing but suspension on the rear wheels... If there are driveline components back there then you have an AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webslave Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 IIRC, all the AWD models will say "AWD" on the rear hatch...easier than crawling on the ground. but, yes, the AWDs have the rear axles and transfer box/differential unit in the middle. Not always easy to see behind the spare and exhaust unit. Can't go by how loaded it is with options, AWD is an "option" and not everybody wanted to spring for the extra money, particularly, those that live in the deep south (not much snow down there to warrant the AWD cost).

Journeyman425 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Post the last 8 digits of your VIN and the approximate mileage if you wish, and I can tell you for certain how it is configured.
