4-Wheel Drive:	All-Wheel Drive:
– You can toggle between having 4WD “on” or “off” – Better for off road conditions and extreme weather – Meant for heavy-duty hauling or towing – Typically found on trucks	– AWD is a system that is always “on” and all four wheels can gain traction independently of each other – Good for everyday all-weather conditions and light off-roading – Gives the vehicle a sporty feel – Is used in many sedan, crossover, and SUV models
