What kind of rear drive assist system does the Equinox use? Is it a variation of the Versatrak system such as on the VUE?

I believe it is, not sure how it may have changed but same general idea,,,,,,front wheels start to slip and more power to rear

The AWD system is uses a power transfer unit bolted, to the transmission, and an axle both made for GM by GETRAG in North Carolina. There's a clutch module between the prop shaft and the axle that engages the rear drive when sensing slip. The Vue used this same setup starting in the 2007MY.
