Pickups - is permanent FWD beter than selectable?

For general road use in a pickup am I better off having permanent AWD such as a Hilux or is the Isuzu D-max just as good?

Could I run the Isuzu D-max in continuous AWD or would I damage the transmission with things like 'wind up'?

For general use best to run in rear wheel drive.

But you can improve grip and handling in adverse weather by running in high range 4WD without the centre diff locked.

Drivers don't because it uses more fuel.
