What is the Importance of All-Wheel Drive?

There are countless benefits of investing in a new vehicle with all-wheel drive. Any AWD model is going to provide you with increased safety when you're driving somewhere slick. Some models fall under the category of off-road vehicles that perform well on surfaces covered in sand, gravel, mud, and dirt. You're looking to reduce the amount of wheel slippage that you experience while you're accelerating, going around corners, and navigating tough terrain.

How Does All-Wheel Drive Function on a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM?

To explain it simply, an all-wheel drive vehicle has a transmission that works along with a transfer case and differentials. Power (or torque) is sent from your transmission over to your wheels. For a vehicle that has all-wheel drive, power is transferred to all of the wheels at once. A rear-wheel drive vehicle will only have power transferred to the rear wheels. A front-wheel drive vehicle will transfer power to the front wheels only.
