Winter is approaching, and when driving in snow and ice, it's a plus to have the extra traction that an all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicle provides. It's important to know how these systems work and how they differ.
It sounds like all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive should be the same, but they aren't. Four-wheel drive technology has been around for decades and gives you the ability to engage all four wheels on your car or truck at the same time, which gives you better traction in snow and mud. All-wheel drive is a newer technology that uses a computer to sense what wheels need to be engaged to give you the better traction. An all-wheel-drive system engages either the back or front wheels at a time.
