Two-wheel Drive Cars

The term “four-wheel drive” is thrown out frequently when describing new and used vehicles. The term applies to vehicles where all four wheels have the power to initiate the movement of the car. The alternative to four-wheel drive is “two-wheel drive,” and this type of vehicle is much more common. It is known as a “4×2” because there are four tires, however, only either the two front wheels or the two rear wheels are connected to the engine. Motorcycles are considered “2×2” vehicles because they have two tires and both are connected to the engine.

Choosing Between Vehicles

If you are planning on going off-roading or if you live in a northern climate where you might get stuck in snow or on ice, you may want to consider a 4×4 vehicle. However, for many of us, paying the extra money for a four-wheel drive vehicle is simply unnecessary. In Central Texas, we rarely have to deal with snowy and icy conditions, which is why many people choose to purchase a 4×2.
