Older 4x4s have a 2WD and 4WD mode, meaning you have to switch to 2WD mode whenever on hard surfaces. •Jeeps and Land Rovers are the most famous four wheel drive vehicles. •Often four wheel drive owners spend lots of money on their vehicle, which sometimes exceeds the value of the vehicle. http://tenrandomfacts.com/four-wheel-drive/ Pics Credit:Google 2 Likes 1 Share
