Should You Drive a 4WD or 2WD Vehicle in Snowy Weather?

[BenjaminFitz]

Drive a 4WD vehicle in snowy weather. 4WD Vehicles: These are vehicles with front and rear differential-linked four-wheel drive. Since the engine power is transmitted to all four wheels, all four wheels can provide traction. In contrast, when one drive wheel of a regular two-wheel-drive vehicle slips, the other drive wheels also lose power. Drive Configuration: This refers to the arrangement of the engine and the number and position of the drive wheels. Most passenger vehicles have two rows of wheels, front and rear. The wheels that are directly driven by the engine to propel (or pull) the vehicle forward are the drive wheels. The most basic classification is based on the number of drive wheels, which can be divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive categories.
