All wheel drive and four wheel drive, they both drive all four wheels on a car or truck, so they must be pretty much the same, right? Well, not really. The similarities end somewhere after driving more than two wheels! Check out this video, and Len will tell you all about it!

Can a RWD pick up truck still do well off-road?
GREAT VIDEO
If you drink a shot every time he says "veerichle", you'll be dead before the end of the video.
All my life I have been wondering how all this works and what was the difference..thanks for the video learned a lot
+korn yque Thanks for checking us out!
This is a freaking great video. So informative and well put together. Thanks a lot
Sure have learned a lot from Lenny! Thanks for helping all of us out. Best wishes -be safe to all at 1a.
Great explanation. Now send me a awd kit for my 2.5l vw Jetta
Thank you for the overview. I definitely needed it.
+MBS Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I have always enjoyed the videos you guys have provided! Your company has saved me over $3000 in auto repairs, by showing me how to do it myself, that's why I try to order my parts from your company when possible. Thank you!
Amazing explanation! Best I've seen so far!
Wow! Fantastic video and great in depth details I had never thought about. Thank you for really putting all your AWD/4WD knowledge into this video. I've got a buddy who would like this!
Was time for my "refresher course"...... Now I'm up to date again. Thanks!
Clear, concise information. You are a great communicator.
Best video on the topic by far. Thank you. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks - what does then both differential do in 4x4 mode . You said its dangerous to drive in grippy conditions , because of possible binding and damage transfer case, but isn't it differential designed to prevent that? I cannot get the point where danger comes if both differential are there and axels are not locket. Please explain.
Great info, guys!!
I like your videos and the techniques to do the job!
God bless!

Dude, that was soooo very clear and helpful. Immediate sub👍
Great explanation 👌🏼
Wow wow wow you did a fantastic job I am so impressed I've had four wheel trucks right now I have a real real car I've often wondered about the other cars you explained it so well I enjoyed it I watched it all the way through excellent presentation I can't say enough
Awesome explanation! Thanks
Extremely informative for a non mechanic trying to decide how to choose : )
Thank you for this video I needed to know about my 07 Chevrolet equinox when backing up the rear tires wasn't moving fast. And the front tires was spinning fast on ice
Awesome explanation!
"veer-hicle"
Great video - enjoyed it!
Good job. Thanks
Very informative thanks for the video....
Great. Very detailed. Thanks
Thanks for the info, looking into a new vehicle
Good explaining
Thanks for this explanation. Would love to see the Defender all time 4x4 explained
Well done my friend
Awesome video as usual 👌. Brilliantly explained 👌 Thank you for sharing this awesome video 👍👍👏👏😇
+London Carnaval Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
The video made clear the difference between the 2 systems, which I wanted- thank you!
I do not know what a "vericle" is. Guessing it's a vehicle, yes?
Lmao verhicle
a very simple explanation to understand ..
+mohd aZ-zuhri Kumaran Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I like your glasses it's very good to do a mechanic, thanks for showing the differently from 2 wheel drive, all wheel drive and 4x4 so now I definitely know
+Chris Chery Thanks for the feedback!
Hey Buddy, Ur so skilful, so extra details explaining master.
🤝👍👍👍💯
Great explanation. Have to admit I thought AWD vs 4WD was mainly a marketing thing. Btw in parts of this video your voice reminds me of Seth Green's.
Best explanation iv seen on you tube and I like how you showed how it looks 👍😆😝
+Des M Thanks for the feedback!
I love my Subaru. Great video.
Nice video to understand about 4WD.
Two thumbs up :-)
Thanks for the explanation.
+Jürgen Bolke Thanks for checking us out!
A perfect explanation.
Superb. 👌🏻
What a great video! Thank you very much for all the information. I have learned a lot from you guys.
I have a minor curiosity; based on the explanation, Are Trucks 4WD? So they can get more traction from the wheels?
I own AWD and 4X4, I like 4x4 better i like that you can turn it off when not in use and save your transfer case, AWD is great for rain and snow but i find it is a bit loud you hear the transfer case all the time and turning is not the same but it is great also perfect for winter driving.
Good stuff.
+Nonchalont Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Finally someone explain in detail
RWD pickup has higher payload, all else being same. Good video just adding a bit of information.
+jeff rentsch Thanks for the feedback!
4WD is a big plus for towing, especially for boats using the boat launch.
Glad to know that
+Shahdot Shuhan Thanks for checking us out!
Nice! Now what’s the difference between a blown transmission and no-wheel drive ? lol
Informational... AND cute 😉
6:56: gave the video an immediate thumbs up once I heard him tell us the type of transmission
+KillerZero259 Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks, now I understand a lot better. What about the Kia Sportage, that seems to be both AWD but you can then lick the differential and it seems to then function as as 4WD. I drive a lot of dirt roads that are mud soup when it rains. Which would be better?
I have a question that I have not been able to find an answer to anywhere. I have a 2005 Ecalade AWD Both front tires have the same amount of side to side play, I have replaced both tie rods and both upper and lower ball joints the bushings in the control arms have no play. The wheel bearings have no play and are relatively new. I can't see ant play in the center link I got a great deal on this vehicle and it's in excellent condition but I can't figure this out any ideas? Thanks for all the great videos you guys have taught me a lot and are my go to for repairs.
Part-time 4WD=automatically mechanically locked center differential, forcing 50% power to front 2 wheels and 50% to back 2 wheels. If all differentials are locked, then mechanically 25% to each wheel. AWD cannot lock differentials but applies brakes to get traction, thus loses total power output (by braking). Not a problem on gravel roads, but in muds like farms, big difference.
4wd for the win.
Awesome 👍👍👌👌🙏🙏
I’ve got a 2022 grand Cherokee L limited Quadra track 1. It’s advertised as an all time 4wd. Is that basically all wheel drive?
I have a crush on this man
misconception the AWD will never drive all 4 wheels at the same time only 4x4 and thats if you have a front and real locking differential .
Got a new 2020 Subaru Outback AWD With XM Mode best 4 wheel drives ever, and you get more safety than you can imagine with a Subaru.
+Daniel 2020 Thanks for the feedback!
What is the easiest way to figure out if you're all wheel drive is actually working correctly? I'll give you an example I was up in the snow the other day and I parked at my friend's house. Then I ended up getting ready to leave the next morning and I couldn't get out I was stuck because there was a lot of ice underneath the rear tires because the way the snow was melting and then refreezing. Something I noticed is that the only tires that were spinning when my all wheel drive was engaged was the rear tires because I was able to see a bunch of stuff flinging up from the back but when I looked at the front there was nothing happening on either side I tried engaging my four-wheel drive and that didn't work either. So I'm not entirely sure what's going on. It's a 2001 Dodge Durango 5.9 RT with an electronic switch that goes from all wheel drive to 4 wheel high to four wheel low but it's always in all-wheel drive unless I decided to switch it.
Question. Which gives better mpg
That guy has real charisma!
+Gerasimos Asthenis Thanks for checking us out!
I have a 2018 grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 is it really a 4x4 or AWD?
I have a big grand Cherokee Laredo and I was told it was a 4 by 4 But there are no switches or anything inside the vehicle to indicate that and most of the jeeps I has so far ahead some type of switch to switch into 4 by 4 mode this one doesn't
Hi, I used 4WH offroad and now its not coming back to normal 2WH, though the manuaul lever is moved to 2WH... can you lease guide what could be the issue ? and if there is a tweak to release the 4W ?
Some vehicles require reversing, driving in reverse, backing up, after switching back to 2WD. You may need to back up until it switches off the 4WD. Switch the lever to 2WH first while standing still, then back up in reverse. Do this some place where you have a lot of distance to back up.
I noticed that Car chassis is way too corroded, is that still safe?
My Jeep is 4X4. However, I don't have the option to turn the 4X4 on or off. So does that make it a 4X4/AWD?
I have an AWD Vehricle. Always wondered how it worked.
+boss tycoon Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
😁
I am entranced by this guys hand movements lol
Is 2009 Rav4 4wd or awd
Not all limited slips use clutches. Eaton makes the true track limited slip which uses gears. And even a locker will ratchet for turning if not under power. It uses cogs. Both differentials are damn near indestructible. Most all new four-wheel drives today are soft. In the old days we got out and disengage the hubs on the front axle to save wear and tear and fuel. Then they came out with the auto locking hubs. Today there is no option they just spin.
The fact I haven't bought a new vehicle in over 30 years doesn't make me bitter. It only means I have dozens of classic vehicles that draw more attention than say a new Vet or Raptor.
And saving that 30 30-50 Grand allows me to do a whole lot of playing.
and then you have Lada Niva, which is full time 4WD with lockable center differential :P all that car needed is good disel engine and both lockers.
I know I'm nitpicking but it doesn't send the same amount of power to all four wheels. It sends the same amount oof torque. Power is just energy per unit time so if it sent the same amount of power to all four wheels they would all do the same amount of work during any period of time. Work is force times distance so consider the case where one wheel spins freely and the other four are unable to overcome friction (e.g one wheel is on slippery ice). Distance traveled by the 3 stationary wheels is 0 so too is the total energy imparted but the spinning wheel puts energy into both it's angular velocity and overcoming the drag from friction.
Practically just observe that if 3 wheels are totally still and the fourth is slipping only the last tire warms up because it's the only one receiving any power.
Can you explain us about the drive train(4x4) on Jeep Wrangler 4xe .
+Madan Bantawa We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My jeep is a Quadra drive all time 4x4 love it in the snow tarted in a alwheel drive Subaru for it
I have not heard "positraction" since the early 1990s.
I have a 2003 Durango R T AWD.
But will not move in AWD or 2wd low. It will only move in 4wd high
Now explain the 4wd and awd honda system honda crv and pilot and they changed the system 07 to 11 said 4wd 2012 to 2020 has the said system but says awd now.??????
AWD Vehicle...got it! Thanks.
Is AWD consuming more fuel than 4WD?
Replacing Rear Bumper and Rear Bumper Mounts on a 10th Gen F150!
Cool
Now I was once told that if you spin a wheel, while on a lift, that is the two wheels on an axle spin in opposite directions, that is not a true 4wd, as when on a slippery surface only 1 wheel per axle will spin.
My suv 4x4 light is on and I didn’t put it in 4wD. Is there a way or something to get it turned off? I’m in a 06 mercury mountaineer. Help! The manual is no help at all
+Yours Truly 78 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
LIKE, GREAY VIDEO
+SHAH MRUGESH Thanks for the feedback!
Sería muy bueno si lo subtitularan
+ar7 Thanks for the feedback!
So what would the Flintstone's car be?
Depends...is Betty Wilma or Dino in the back?
Are we sure this isn’t the voice of chris griffin from “family guy” ? Also, What is a vherical?
When it comes to AWD systems who manufacturers the best AWD.
I have a 2008 jeep compass... it is bad if I activate the 4x4 to tow my tools trailer even on dry pavement ?? Because its a lil heavy..... or it doesn't matter.... I live in Upstate New York and we have a lot of hills everywhere..
+Samuel Fernandez It would depend on the weight you're towing.
As a New Yorker, I would suggest how bad is your wheel bearings and tires.. thats all calculated. You're driving 2008 Jeep. Something need to upgrade to make efficiency. Gotta go. Goodluck..
If 4WD is great for off roading because it applies power to all 4 wheels, shouldn't AWD be just as good since it also applies power to all 4 wheels?
Me confused
Did he say vehicle or verhicle
What's a Verhicle? :P
Veeracles!?
Can you convert an AWD vehicle to RWD?
Full-time 4WD gang here
Great vid 👍
Sooo, how about fuel (gas)? I’m guessing front wheel drive and rear wheel drive are the most economical on gas??
Compared to the AWD vs the 4X4?
So if u could place in order from which is more fuel economical, which is best… best on fuel,…
1. (…),
2. (…) &
3. (…).
Thanks 😊
