Besides VW caddy.

With decent snow tires four wheel peel isn't always necessary.

Although I find the VWs lines to be much cleaner, dare-I-say iconic. How fast did he get that thing up to?

I think there was a FWD Ridgeline, too, so that makes three sold in the US. There was also an Opel Corsa based Chevy pickup sold in South America; I don't think any are old enough to easily import to the US at this point though.

Exactly what are you planning to use this thing for?

Remove the rear driveshaft and a 4X4 becomes FWD.

Seen it done when a guy I knew busted the rear diff on his 4X4 pickup and had to wait for a replacement to be shipped to him. He drove it FWD for a couple weeks. It was an old Dodge Powerwagon.

I know a guy who had a RWD Justy, because he got stuck in a ditch and somehow destroyed the front drive axles. He drove it for months like that.

Very cool, bumper numbers, towing shackles and tire pressures on the wheel wells. Good stuff.

Yeah, but the 2wd mode is FWD, so that counts for something, right? Same with the Ridgeline, IIRC.

That's awesome. Pintle hook hitch for the win!

Care to share the phone number for that?

Depending on the differential setup, that can make it 0WD.

The Hearse companies (corrected from Hearst) make flower cars out of Cadillacs and will make a consumer version as well.

None of the cool new european stuff comes to the US any more due to the chicken tax:

Chevy Sabia?

Rampage has been mentioned, but here's a newer look at one:

Tempo Matador FTW!:

Kia Soul'ster:

A little Japanese goodness that you can't buy here:

Chevy Tornado:

Citroen!???

Ford Transit:

Fiat Strada:

Yeah, I know. Most of them are not available (concept or otherwise), Foreign market, and I shamefully hotlinked all that crap.
