Four-wheel drive, 4WD, 4x4 ("four by four"), or AWD ("all wheel drive") is a four-wheeled vehicle with a drivetrain that allows all four wheels to receive torque from the engine simultaneously. While many people associate the term with off-road vehicles and Sport utility vehicles, powering all four wheels provides better control in normal road cars on many surfaces, and is an important part of rally racing.

In abbreviations such as 4x4, the first figure is normally taken as the total number of wheels and the second is normally taken as the number of powered wheels (the numbers are actually axle-ends to allow for more than one wheel on each end of an axle). 4x2 means a four-wheel vehicle in which engine power is transmitted to only two axle-ends: the front two in front-wheel drive or the rear two in rear-wheel drive.

What is the difference between 4x2 and 4x4?
Q. I am thinking of getting a new truck. I currently drive a Ford F150 4x4. I understand FWD, RWD, AWD, and 4WD (4x4), but am confused as to exactly what a 4x2 is.

A. 4x2 is a rear wheel drive truck. fwd is a front only transaxle rwd has a ujoint at the tailshaft of the trans and goes straight to the rear axle AWD is usually a modified FWD, you cannot shift from rear to four, or high to low awd is not 4X4!!! 4X4 MUST have a Transfer case that shifts from rear wheel high gear to 4 wheel high gear to 4 wheel low gear. awd is not 4X4!!!

Is there a way to reroute water away from outdoor 4x4 posts to prevent them from rotting?
Q. I recently installed 20 posts (4x4 pressure treated cedar) to support an overhang roof on my dog kennel. Trouble is I notice water pooling around the posts. Is there a way to reroute this water or some sort of "base" you can wrap around to keep them from rotting?

How do you attached the 4x4 post to the concrete driveway? ?
Q. I want to build a 10x20 wood carport. Basically a roof on 4x4 posts. I wasn't wanting to drill into the concrete. I was wanting to know if there is a way to attach the 4x4 posts to the concrete without drilling into the concrete driveway. If that is not possible what is the best way to attach the 4x4 posts?

A. two ways i can think of, you will have to build a rigid frame and secure the legs or it will just fall over from the weight of the roof, or you will need special brackets and drill holes in the concrete and secure it with anchor bolts if you add walls it will make the legs much more sucure
