AWD vs 4WD in waite park

At St. Cloud Toyota, you have a lot to consider when you're picking out a new vehicle. One thing that can't be overlooked is the type of drivetrain you choose. It's especially important to know the difference between AWD and 4WD , two options that can be found in a variety of new Toyota models.

The Difference between AWD and 4WD

Some drivers confuse these systems since the names seem rather similar. AWD, or all-wheel drive, is a lighter system. That means that it can be found in a wide range of vehicles. You can buy a large SUV that offers all-wheel drive, but a smaller crossover like the 2020 Toyota RAV4 can accommodate an all-wheel drive system as well. Even the 2020 Toyota Camry just began offering this option. This versatile drivetrain sends power to the wheels that need it the most, allowing you to adapt to changing road conditions.

Driving Conditions for AWD and 4WD

These two systems are adept at handling different types of driving conditions. An all-wheel drive car is dependable in a winter storm. In slippery conditions your car sends power to the wheels that need it, ensuring that you continue to get the traction that you need to stay safe on the road. A four-wheel drive system is built for something a little bit different. It still offers amazing traction, but instead of helping you deal with slick roads a four-wheel drive system is meant to help you tackle all types of terrain. A four-wheel drive model like the 2020 Toyota 4Runner can take on rocks, gravel, mud, sand, and so much more. If you're adventurous and your journey frequently takes you into the wilderness, a four-wheel drive model might be just what you're looking for.

Now it's time to visit our Toyota dealership near Sauk Rapids, MN to see our lineup for yourself. Whether you're looking for an all-wheel drive model like the 2020 Toyota Highlander or a four-wheel drive vehicle like the 2020 Toyota Tacoma, our automotive experts are ready to assist you!
