A Dodge Ram pickup truck equipped with a four-wheel-drive system provides power to all four wheels, enhancing traction and stability, particularly in challenging terrains such as off-road environments, snow, or ice. This capability differentiates these vehicles from two-wheel-drive models, which typically power only the rear wheels or, less commonly, the front wheels. A four-wheel-drive system can be engaged or disengaged as needed, allowing drivers to adapt to changing road conditions.
The enhanced traction offered by such a drivetrain contributes significantly to vehicle safety and control in adverse weather and on uneven surfaces. This feature has historically been important for those who work in agriculture, construction, or other industries requiring off-road capability. Furthermore, it has become a popular option for recreational purposes, such as off-roading and overlanding. This capability has led to the development and refinement of different four-wheel-drive systems, offering varying levels of performance and control depending on the model and trim level.
