The Difference Between 4WD and 6WD Vehicles?

[VanEmerson]

4WD vehicles have four driving wheels (two front and two rear), while 6WD vehicles have six driving wheels. 4WD Vehicles: Simply put, these are vehicles with front and rear differential-linked four-wheel drive. Since engine power is transmitted to all four wheels, all four can provide traction. In regular 2WD vehicles, if one driving wheel slips, the other driving wheels also lose power, rendering the vehicle immobile. With 4WD, the remaining two wheels can still deliver traction. Consequently, 4WD vehicles excel in off-road performance, handling wilderness slopes, beaches, mud, and deserts with ease. This unstoppable rugged style has won many automotive enthusiasts' hearts. 6WD Vehicles: For some car enthusiasts, four-wheeled vehicles no longer suffice. Hence, modified 6WD vehicles emerged, featuring four rear wheels and two front wheels with front/rear differential-linked six-wheel drive, enabling all six wheels to deliver power.
