Why Is All-Wheel Drive Important?
Vehicles with all-wheel drive offer many benefits. They provide enhanced safety in inclement weather because they have excellent traction on slick surfaces. Off-road AWD models provide enhanced safety and performance on muddy, sandy, gravely and other less stable types of terrain. On performance models, having higher traction reduces wheelslip and enhances corner grip and acceleration.
How Does All-Wheel Drive Work on a Toyota?
This is a very complex vehicle system with a variety of parts that perform a multitude of tasks. However, to explain it simply, Toyota AWD and 4X4 vehicles send torque from the transmission to all four wheels. Conversely, power is sent only to the front wheels on vehicles with front-wheel drive (FWD) and only to the back wheels on vehicles with rear-wheel drive (RWD). Sending power to all wheels improves road grip and other performance aspects, as previously discussed.
Some of the major components of an AWD system are the transfer case and the front and rear differentials. These drivetrain parts work in conjunction with the transmission and are essential to making your car move. The transfer case splits power and sends it to the differentials, and then the differentials convert that power and split it between the wheels.
