4WDa transmission system that delivers power to all four wheels of a vehicle simultaneously
What is "four-wheel drive"?
Four-wheel drive (4WD) is a system in vehicles where power is sent to all four wheels to improve traction and control, especially when driving on rough or slippery surfaces. This system is commonly found in trucks and SUVs and is useful for off-road driving or in conditions like snow, mud, or gravel. In a 4WD vehicle, the driver can often switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, allowing for better handling and stability when needed. Four-wheel drive helps the vehicle move through difficult terrain by distributing power evenly to all wheels.
