		Driver is responsible for engaging 4WD and disengaging it.
		The number of vehicles offered with permanent 4WD has remained rather steady in recent years, and Land Rover remains one brand whose entire product line—from the Freelander to the Range Rover HSE—has this feature.
		When the vehicle engages 4WD, it manages and transmits the power, as necessary, to both front and rear wheels or just to the wheels with the most traction.

		The e·4WD system was developed with the aim of providing 4WD capability for enhanced ease of use in daily driving situations combined with environmental friendliness.
		Another notable feature with respect to vehicle design and manufacturing is its excellent platform efficiency, by enabling 4WD to be achieved through minimal changes to a 2WD base vehicle.
		4WD control without any time lag and traction control capabilities at both the front and rear wheels ensure that traction and the torque split to the rear wheels are optimally controlled.

		The Hilux was a very good and reliable 4wd the only thing I didn't like was the suspension.I fitted Bilsteins gas shockers and after market suspension which made the ride a bit better.

	Four-Wheel Drive Tire Pressure, Axle Control & Glossary - Truck Trend
		A 4WD will offer more suitable traction, sometimes better ground clearance, occasionally improved ride quality derived from the larger tire sidewall, may sit higher for a superior view, and might win a "mine is bigger" driveway battle.
		San Francisco streets are steep and require lots of throttle and torque converter slip to scale, but they pale in comparison to climbs in off-road conditions or the power required to turn a 100-lb tire buried in 200 lb of mud.
		In vehicles derived from front drives, many are front drive normally and add rear drive as required: The amount of output transferred to the rear is often a function of strength--the Saturn VUE four-cylinder can direct 69-percent power to the rear, while the V-6 sends a maximum of 57 percent.

	What makes a 4WD a 4WD?
		When a 4WD is traveling in a straight line all four wheels rotate at the same speed, but during cornering each wheel travels at a different speed due to the radius of the turn.
		When a part-time 4WD (without a center differential) is in 4WD an attempts to corner on bitumen, all wheels need to rotate at different speeds, but without a centre differential they cannot.
		When low range 4WD is selected, the gear ratios are approximately half that of high range, although the exact ratio varies for each vehicle manufacturer.

	What is the difference between full time four wheel drive, all wheel drive and automaticall wheel drive
		Full time four wheel drive, also called permanent 4WD, (not to be confused with: part time 4WD) is a system that powers all four wheels at all times and can be used full time on all surfaces including pavement.
		Difference to full time 4WD is that a "4-low" setting is not available in AWD cars.
		Due to the lack of "low range" AWD vehicles are much less capable in off-road settings than full time 4WD vehicles, but work perfectly well on-road.

	Mitsubishi-Motors/4WD
		In winter when the roads get slippery, and normal cars' progress all too often degenerates into helpless wheelspin, a 4x4 can usually keep going, thanks to four wheels rather than two providing traction on snow and ice.
		In fact, having 4WD greatly reduces the likelihood of getting stuck anywhere, whether it's a wet field being used as a car park at an outdoor event, or the muddy track to an isolated house.
		If for example you need to manoeuvre a horse box around in the muddy field next to where the horse trials are being held, it will be much easier with a 4x4.

		On rutted, washboard pavement in 4WD, the Explorer was exceptionally sure-footed.
		Leaving the Ford in 2WD caused the tail to kick outwhen the dirt became pitted, but the truck was easilycontrollable without shifting to 4WD.
