4x4 4x2

[swynx]

okay so ive been into 4x4 for awhile, and i was wondering what is the difference between 4x4 and 4x2, i here them used all the time, but cant find out the difference. im sure its very simple so could some one plz help me out haha i need to be educated lol

Seriously?

On a 2wd truck, the front 2 wheels aren't driven. There is also no transfer case, which is what splits the power and drives the front wheels.

4x4 is four wheel drive a 4x2 is two wheel drive. now you know buddy

nah thats not wat i ment i know wat the diff is between 4x4 and 2 wheel drives, i saw on a couple other sites where they sed it was a 4x2 and it was all goin offroad through mud pits and didnt know if it ment it was a 2 wheel drive turned to a 4x4 or wat but i guess it all makes sence now

IF your truck can go into 4 wheel drive and the front tires are not engaged then it is a 4x2 and when you have them locked and 4 wheels being powered then it is 4x4


all-wheel drive means all the time and 4 wheel drive means you can lock them .

Some guys drive their 2wd trucks off road too. They can be pretty capable if properly equipped.

I think I understand your question because I had trouble with that one too.

When they say it's 4x2 that just means same suspension as a 4x4 but only 2wd whereas something 2wd would have different (lower) suspension.

unless its the EDGE(02-05 i think?)/Sport(2006 or newer the 2wd sports that i had pre 2002 were on the same 2wd suspension) anyhoo, the EDGE/Sport packages use 4wd suspension the only difference being no transfer case and pumpkin up front

4x2 just means you're just too damned good to need that other thing... "4x4?"

Or you're REALLY good at working your winch!
