How does the four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive system in my Ford truck work?

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD or 4X4) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) are types of a vehicle's drivetrain system. They allow for all the vehicle's tires to move simultaneously to assist with better traction. AWD will always be active on the vehicle when the option is purchased, while 4WD needs to be turned on.

These helpful videos will explain how your 4WD or AWD system works while driving your truck.
