What's the difference between 4WD and AWD? It comes down to choice. If the driver can choose to put the car in two-wheel drive, but can also select four-wheel drive as an option, that’s 4WD. This is common on trucks and large SUVs; a transfer case allows you to select where the power goes. If the driver doesn’t have a choice, but the vehicle still sends power to all four wheels, this is AWD. This system is always active, and is more commonly found on cars and crossovers. Both AWD & 4WD have pros and cons, to learn more, check out my related videos below!
