Benefits of the four wheel drive system

A typical four-wheel drive vehicle has a transfer case between the rear and front axles that ensures that the axles spin at the same speed and traction. There are different types of four-wheel drive systems utilizing various technologies to make the driving experience more rewarding. Some of them have a limited-slip differential, which means it can quickly regain traction when there is a slip in one wheel by initiating torque in the other wheel. Some others function by making both wheels to turn at the same time and this is called a locking differential. Some four-wheel drives have an automated hub while others have a manual hub; the difference lies in how the mechanism is initiated in order to fully get the system running.
