Pardon my ignorance :oops:

First number is total number of wheels. Second number is total number of driven wheels.

4X2 = four wheels with two wheels being driven by the engine.
4X4 = all wheels can be driven.

In truck-speak, 6-wheeled (dual tire) trucks are just 4x4s. 10-wheeled trucks are 6x6s. When counting driven tires, dual tires are just counted as a single driving wheel. Check out any magazine with a dual-tired Dodge Ram or Ford Super Duty being tested... These 6-wheeler trucks will just have a 4x4 sticker on the side and not a 6x6.

Amacatan,

Are you damn serious about your question or just making fun of this forum by asking something elementary?

correct.

**amacatan** · February 3rd, 2003 04:52 PM

sorry ha. pero i'm serious about my question :?

so bottom line, 4x4 is the same as 4WD or AWD, and 4x2 is the same as 2WD :mrgreen:

pansin ko lang na 4x4 ang madalas gamitin pag sa mga trucks or SUVs eh kaysa 4WD. tapos pag sa mga sedan o race cars naman e 4WD kaysa 4x4.

thanks anyway. now i know what it means :mrgreen:

4x4 and 4wd are almost synonymous. All-wheel drive is often reserved for vehicles (mostly cars and some vans) that are full-time four wheel drive and equipped with only a single-speed transfer (no low range) case-- i.e., Subarus, Audis, some Porsches, Lamborghini Diablos, etc.
