subject: Top 10 4 X 4 Vehicles [print this page] While most people associate 4x4 vehicles with off-roading and all terrain vehicles, there are many manufacturers that offer this as an option for everyday cars. 4 x 4 vehicles, which are also commonly referred to as all-wheel drive or four wheel drive, come with a drivetrain that allows all wheels to receive power from the engine, rather than just the two that is common in most vehicles on the road today.
4 x 4 vehicles are attractive to consumers because they offer more control and can easily adapt to different surfaces. This is why they are commonly used in off-roading and other all-terrain races. And, it is also why they are popular in Countries that have multiple weather seasons like Canada.
