When shopping for a new vehicle, you may come across terms like all-wheel drive (AWD), four-wheel drive (4WD), and 4x4. But what exactly do these mean, and which Ford models offer these features? In this guide, we'll break down the differences between AWD and 4WD and highlight the Ford vehicles equipped with these capable drivetrains.
The Difference Between AWD and 4WD
While both all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems power all four wheels of a vehicle, they operate in slightly different ways:
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD): AWD systems typically operate all the time, continuously sending power to all four wheels. The power distribution between the front and rear axles can vary depending on road conditions and vehicle specifications. Many AWD systems are designed for on-road use and provide enhanced traction and stability in various weather conditions.
- Four-Wheel Drive (4WD/4x4): Traditional 4WD systems, often referred to as 4x4, allow the driver to manually engage or disengage the front and rear axles. When 4WD is engaged, power is evenly distributed to all four wheels. 4WD systems are often found on trucks and SUVs designed for off-road use, as they provide maximum traction in challenging terrain.
