All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive transmits power to all four wheels all the time. Combined with modern traction control technology, an AWD vehicle will transfer power to the wheels with the most grip in slippery conditions. The primary disadvantage to AWD vehicles is fuel economy, as there is added weight in an AWD arrangement.
AWD is ideal for daily commuters who live in climates with a lot of snow and rain and who may occasionally drive on dirt or gravel.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
Four-wheel drive functions the same as an AWD system, but a four-wheel drive vehicle will be equipped with one of two options: part-time 4WD or full-time 4WD. Part-time 4WD is designed so the driver can designate when to use 4WD and when to use two-wheel drive.
For example, while off-roading or driving off pavement, 4WD is typically a better option for control, whereas, 4WD isn’t as efficient and can actually be harder on the vehicle when used on pavement.
A full-time 4WD system is designed to power all four wheels on any terrain and is intended for trucks that will be used in heavy snow or be primarily driven off-road. While 4WD is similar to AWD, full-time 4WD systems often give drivers the option to use “high” for higher speeds and “low” when creeping through a puddle of mud or driving over big rocks. AWD is less proficient than 4WD when off-roading.
4WD is ideal for OKC Truck and Car drivers who need a tough and rugged vehicle to be driven off road or in harsh weather conditions.
