Is the Highlander a Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive?

The Highlander is not a full-time four-wheel drive; it is an on-demand four-wheel drive. Here is more relevant information: 1. Four-Wheel Drive: Four-wheel drive refers to a vehicle maintaining a four-wheel drive form throughout the entire driving process. The engine's output torque is distributed to the front and rear wheels in a fixed proportion. This driving mode can provide better off-road and handling performance at any time, but it cannot adjust torque distribution according to road conditions and has higher fuel consumption. 2. On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive: On-demand four-wheel drive is controlled by a computer chip to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. On normal roads, the vehicle runs in two-wheel drive mode. When encountering off-road conditions or wheel slippage, the computer will detect and automatically distribute power to the other two wheels. For the part-time four-wheel drive mode, the quality of the control program affects the intelligence of the drive mode switching. In addition, there is also a part-time four-wheel drive (Part-Time 4WD) where the driver manually controls the switching of the drive mode. Many SUVs and off-road vehicles have one or more of these four-wheel drive modes to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

What Does the Tire Specification Represent?

Tire model numbers indicate the type of tire, tire size, the maximum speed the tire can withstand, the production year of the tire, and more. For example, 235/55-R17 99V represents, from left to right, the width of the tire, the thickness of the sidewall, the diameter of the corresponding rim, and the maximum speed the tire can withstand. Specific details are as follows: 1. Tire Numbering: International standard tire numbering uses millimeters to indicate the section width and the percentage of the aspect ratio. 235 means the tire width is 235mm, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. 17 represents the diameter of the rim the tire corresponds to, 99 stands for the load index of the tire, and V indicates the speed rating of the tire. 2. Tire Model: The tire model represents various information about the car tire. Tire model specifications are often represented by a set of numbers, such as 165/70R14, which indicates a radial tire with a width of 165 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. 165 denotes the section width of the tire, 70 means the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%. The aspect ratio is the ratio between the section height and the section width of the tire, and the rim diameter is 14 inches.
