Guest Brodi Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I was talking to my buddy about all wheel drive cars, and he brought up a good point. What is the difference between AWD and 4WD?? I have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 AWD is more associated with all time all wheel drive and is non-selectable. While 4WD is associated with selectable 2WD or 4WD, also there are usually two different gearings for 4WD. This is what I understand it to be, maybe someone actually in the automotive field could say for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOST_ME Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Typically 4WD moves all four wheels at the same rate while AWD allows the wheels to move at variable rates. This isn't a strict definition, as one type has been labelled the other, but I find it to be the simplest. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
