Is the Prado front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive during normal driving?
1 Answers
During normal road driving, it should be two-wheel drive, specifically rear-wheel drive, whereas for off-road conditions, four-wheel drive is selected. Introduction to Front-Wheel Drive: Front-wheel drive, also known as FWD, refers to a car design where the engine drives only the front pair of wheels. Most sedans are configured with front-wheel drive. Characteristics of Front-Wheel Drive: With the same displacement and horsepower, the lighter the car, the easier it is to accelerate, the shorter the braking distance, and the more fuel-efficient it is. The mechanical components of front-wheel drive are fewer and simpler compared to rear-wheel drive, which helps reduce weight. Additionally, because the weight of the engine and drive axle is loaded onto the front wheels, which are the driving wheels, it helps improve the car's traction, which is very advantageous on slippery roads.
