What Does 4WD Stand For?

4WD stands for Four Wheel Drive Cf AWD

4WD, or Four Wheel Drive, is a drivetrain system that distributes power to all four wheels of a vehicle simultaneously. This system enhances traction and stability, making it ideal for off-road conditions and challenging terrains. Unlike All-Wheel Drive (AWD), which is primarily designed for on-road use and usually engages power to all wheels automatically, 4WD typically allows for manual control and often includes low-range gearing for improved performance in difficult driving situations.
