4x4 vs AWD SUVs

While both 4x4 and AWD SUVs provide increased traction over traditional two-wheel drive vehicles, there are some notable differences between these two systems:

  • 4x4 SUVs have selectable four-wheel drive that can be engaged manually when needed. This allows you to switch into four-wheel drive on the fly when conditions around Falcon, CO, call for extra traction.
  • AWD SUVs have full-time all-wheel drive that is always engaged and cannot be switched on or off. The system automatically transfers power between wheels as needed during your drives around Fountain and Castle Rock, CO.
  • 4x4 SUVs generally offer superior off-road capabilities thanks to low-range gears and other specific features designed for rugged terrains that you expect to traverse in the Pueblo, CO, area.
  • AWD SUVs tend to provide better on-road handling and performance since AWD is always on.

When shopping for used SUVs with enhanced traction systems, consider when and where you plan to drive most often in the Castle Rock, Pueblo, and Monument areas. Serious off-road enthusiasts will likely prefer the maximum capability of a 4x4, while those who mainly stick to paved roads can benefit from an AWD SUV.

Traction for All Conditions

From confidently tackling tough terrain and trails to comfortably cruising local roads, a used SUV with 4x4 or AWD can be an incredibly versatile vehicle for Colorado's varied conditions. These advanced traction systems give you extra grip and control in snow, rain, mud, and off-road driving so you'll stay on track no matter what the road throws at you.

Higher ground clearance on most models also helps avoid bottoming out on rocks, ruts, and other obstacles. With ample cargo space, you can pack all your gear for weekend trips to the mountains, trails, campsites, ski slopes, and more around Falcon and Fort Carson.
