What is a 4x2 Driveline?

Published in Vehicle Drivetrain 1 min read

A 4x2 driveline means a vehicle has four wheels, but only two of them are driven. Typically, in trucks, this configuration defaults to rear-wheel drive (RWD).

In simpler terms, consider these points:

  • Four Wheels Total: The vehicle has four wheels.
  • Two Wheels Driven: Only two of the four wheels receive power from the engine to propel the vehicle. According to the reference, "the truck has four wheels, but only two are being driven."
  • Common Configuration: Most often, especially in trucks, the driven wheels are the rear wheels.

Therefore, a 4x2 driveline is a two-wheel drive system in a vehicle with four wheels.
