DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 4WD AND AWD? 😳 #cars #jdms #racing #awd #4wd

There are many differences between a 4WD and AWD. So fellow car experts, please feel free to share below! 🏎️💨

4x4 is selectable. Awd is constantly on and cannot be turned off

"heated and ventilated seats" moment

it definitely doesn’t help when you explain it poorly.

AWD is a system that uses open, or limited slip differentials to send a different amount of power to each wheel. With open diffs it goes to the wheel easiest to spin, and with limited slip it only tries to go to the one easiest to spin, but is distributed to where it is needed using a locking gear mechanism, a viscous fluid, or an electronic control.

4WD sends an equal amount of power to all 4 wheels at the same time using mechanically locked differentials and a transfer case.

I need a "Anti-gravity" button in my Jeep 😂

"lets find out in 60 seconds"
: gives vague answer....

AWD:
assuming 0 traction only one wheel will spin. This wheel can be any one of the 4. In full traction all 4 wheels will receive equal power.

4WD:
Assuming 0 traction. At least 1 front wheel, and 1 rear wheel will always spin. In full traction all 4 wheels will receive equal power

Awd is 4wd, but it has slip. What i mean is, if one tire isn't on the ground, it'll spin, but the one on the ground won't. 4wd is all tires, be in air or on the ground, and will equally spin.
Awd is essentially 4wd with open differentials. Its why doing a u-turn in an awd versus 4wd is smoother, and you dont get the "skipping jumps" that 4wd will do trying to make a u-turn.

Sorry if this is confusing, not the best at explaining things.

Edit: im just explaining in my simple way how they are similar, there are a few more differences between the two.

“*heated and ventilated leather seats!*”

[Invisifly]

They’re both marketing terms that mean different things depending on the vehicle/manufacturer you’re talking about.

[wakimbrell]

AWD usually gets a 60/40 power split from rear/ front.
4WD will get a 50/50 power split

[SkellerART]

From how it was explained to me years ago.

4WD is constant even power to all four wheels

Whereas AWD has the ability to vary the power output to each wheel individually depending on which wheel needs more traction.

[yoslauda]

The difference is on the transfer case, all wheel only have one gears ratio, whereas 4wd has many ratios, usually 4H/4L/2H
Some transfer cases also has PTO to operate the winch or pto-connected tools

The simplest answer is… 4wheel drive can be activated when you need it, All wheel drive is “All” the time.

[tylerjamesBTG]

Now all wheel drive vs full time 4wd lol

[leong]

Don’t you dare put Scotty in the video, he knows more than all of us put together on and about motored vehicles.

The Subaru WRX STI (really any year's model) has AWD and it is an absolute rally MONSTER

[brandonstonge]

4wd means the driver decides what’s happening. You’ll have a selection between 2wd and 4wd and often have the choice to lock the diffs as well. Awd is all computer controlled. A lot of people don’t know this but a ton of modern Awd vehicles do not actually power all of the wheels at all times, most of them only power the fronts and if those spin or slip then it automatically sends power to the rear wheels as well. But the fact that all of it is done automatically by the computer is what makes it Awd.
