Although there are a few vehicles (like some SRT-4s) that do have differential units that pull both wheels when under load. Master, again and still

They both have traction control that will pop the brake caliper on the spinning wheel to push torque to the wheel with better traction. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
