Default Raptor AWD vs. F150 4A

Hi, if anyone here has driven both a 2015+ non-Raptor with the 4A and the new Raptor with the true AWD, can you speak to how (if at all) they feel different. Does the Raptor AWD default to 100% power to the rear when cruising or does it do something like a 40-60% front-rear like a Subaru.

And for any of you gearheads/mechanics, what is actually mechanically different between the Raptor AWD system and the non-Raptor 4A? Watching the power distribution screen in my 2016 Lariat in 4A looks exactly like watching the power distribution screen in my wife's true AWD Highlander.

Thanks for the link!

I see you're in snow country. Have you tested the AWD and is it awesome? Can you comment on the the default power distribution when cruising. 50/50 or 100% to rear or something else.

Thanks!

Entire system's awesome > Weather mode or 4A. Also have the Torsen front.
