Shopping for a new car/truck
modern stock AWD for suv's is perfectly sufficient for driving around in bad weather and crummy roads, and i've seen very very few issues with them. they don't need to be any stronger than they are. it'd just be more expensive with no benefit.
what i mean is dual clutch central differential AWD transmissions don't fail any more than regular transaxles or RWD transmissions. and combined with ESC, they provide the absolute best solution for sub-optimal driving conditions and automated corrections in dangerous situations. what i see most often when vehicles come in with traction control and ESC related diagnostic trouble codes is wheel speed sensors. this problem isn't unique to AWD vehicles, but it does make the computer panic more than normal because it relies on that information for safety on a constant basis, rather just in traction-loss events.
some of these sensors are easily replaced by a retard on his driveway. others are cap-type that require you to remove the wheel bearing. which a retard can do, and NAPA will loan you a slide hammer to do it, but you'll probably take it to a mechanic, and they'll probably charge you 2-3 hours labor and the sensor costs 75-150 dollars.
i've never seen a differential fail in a AWD system on a modern suv. automatics are more likely to have a 'failure' than a manual only because torque converters aren't considered a wear item and i've seen TCCS (torque converter clutch solenoids) and that thing that adjusts tension based on detected RPM slip between crank and TC likes to go bad. of course, manual clutches are considered a wear item, but the problem is that many shops don't like to work on automatic transmission guts. dealerships will often simply give you a quote for a new transmission and the old one gets remanned. but they can be serviced if that happens. find a shop that likes to do trannie refurb.
so, no, AWD isn't 'less reliable' than any other transmission system. within it's intended use case, and in modern designs, it's both highly effective and sturdy. it's just not for hauling - it's for managing bad road conditions. if i had to bet on which vehicle is gonna need service first i'd bet on the old truck in a heartbeat.

accidents happen to everyone, the problem here is that nobody sells chamber pots anymore and so through this decline of civilization we're forced to use the same vessel's we use for carrying beer.
i don't know what other people use when they wake up and have to piss. surely they don't actually get out of bed. that'd be retarded. personally, i just sit over the edge and piss into a steel reserve bottle. i don't even get out from under the sheets. when i wake up in the morning i empty it out.
