Ford All-Wheel Drive

Cars are made with a few different drivetrains. One type of drivetrain that Ford owners can choose is all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive provides the Ford owner with many benefits ranging from performance to safety and fuel economy. With all-wheel drive, a car either gets steady engine power to each of the four wheels, or power is allocated to the wheels with the most traction. Many automakers use all-wheel drive as either a part-time or full-time drivetrain. All-wheel drive is a popular drivetrain on a number of auto body styles ranging from sedans to trucks, crossovers, and SUVs.

Why is All-Wheel Drive Important?

All-wheel drive provides car owners with numerous benefits. A drivetrain improves a car's fuel economy and stability when you are out on the road and driving in normal conditions. All-wheel drive provides each wheel with an even and steady distribution of power to help the car stay as stable and in control as possible. All-wheel drive also works in unique ways when your vehicle encounters slippery road conditions. All-wheel drive is an intuitive system that regularly monitors the car's wheels' performance and grip. If all-wheel drive sensors detect that a wheel is slipping, the car responds by shifting power to the other wheels with better traction, keeping your vehicle safely on the road and preventing it from slipping and sliding around. On a Ford crossover or truck, all-wheel drive helps with the towing capacity to ensure that a vehicle can pull heavier loads safely and efficiently.

How Does All-Wheel Drive Work on a Ford?

Ford's all-wheel drive is an intuitive and advanced all-wheel drive system. Ford's all-wheel drive is unique because it uses sensor-based technology to help your vehicle steer and maximize efficiency. All-wheel drive on your Ford works by using small sensors placed on the wheels. The sensors track the wheels' movement to determine how much control and grip they have on the road surface. If the sensors detect that the wheels are losing traction, they respond by rerouting power to the other two or three wheels with the most power. The ability to adapt quickly to changes in traction ultimately ensures a safer and more efficient ride for you and your passengers in your Ford.
