I just like to see the tires turn with authority when the vehicle is stopped. If it can do that, then it can easily turn when the car is in motion.

I think it's mostly a function of weight and tire size rather than 2WD/4WD.

I have my own rule of thumb when it comes to choosing torque: approx 18-20 oz-in per 1b of vehicle weight. This is not scientific by any means, but tends to be perfect from my experience.
