Ford All-Wheel Drive

Of all the considerations you think about when purchasing a new car, one that might not come to mind immediately is drivetrain. However, the type of transmission system that you get with your car is an essential consideration, as it dictates what your car is capable of handling in terms of terrain and weather conditions. One of Ford's top drivetrains for a versatile and compliant ride is all-wheel drive. Ford's vehicles with all-wheel drive come in all sizes and models to ensure that everyone can enjoy the technology regardless of the type of vehicle they want to buy.

Why is All-Wheel Drive Important?

All-wheel drive has a number of great benefits for the Ford owner. All-wheel drive provides a vehicle with predictable traction and handling in all seasons. As you are driving under normal conditions, all-wheel drive distributes power equally across all four of the Ford's wheels. Although it is classified as all-wheel drive, the system automatically uses front-wheel drive power when extra power and torque are not needed. This improves the Ford's efficiency and comfort level. If all-wheel drive senses a change in traction in one or more wheels, it kicks into gear to shift power away from the wheel that doesn't have a firm grip. This helps control wheel sliding before it actually happens, which in turn can help avoid getting into an accident. All-wheel drive can also make handling easier and help your car turn corners more quickly and with greater stability and control. If you're planning to use a Ford for towing, AWD will improve its towing efficiency as well.

How Does All-Wheel Drive Work on a Ford?

Ford uses an Intelligent AWD system for its vehicles with AWD. Ford's system provides a number of advantages compared to a standard AWD system. With Ford's all-wheel drive, you'll benefit from a vehicle that has many sensors attached to the wheels to help monitor the car's traction and grip. The system also constantly monitors acceleration and wheel speed. The AWD system also monitors the angle of the steering wheel, and it works with the brakes to provide more braking power if the car needs to stop suddenly or if you're driving in inclement weather.
