If you’re car shopping, by now you’ve come across many different things to think about. The industry has a variety of vehicles, and you’ll find a diverse group of models here at Lithia Toyota of Billings in Billings, MT. Some may be rear-wheel drive, and others may be front-wheel drive. What does this mean?
As the name suggests, rear-wheel drive means that power is delivered to the rear wheels. One set of wheels is responsible for steering while the other is in charge of the power. Many experts believe that rear-wheel drive is best used with performance vehicles driven by people who like to get going quickly and take turns at relatively high speeds.
Front-wheel drive is much more common in regular vehicles. It makes sense, since its usually associated with cheaper costs and greater fuel efficiency. A front-wheel drivetrain is generally more compact than a rear-wheel one, so it can free up some space in the cabin.
