What’s the difference between AWD and 4WD? 

Before we get into it, let’s look at the difference between AWD (all-wheel drive) and 4WD (four-wheel drive. AWD is always active and gives power to all four wheels automatically as needed. 4WD systems can be turned on and off by the driver, and when they’re on, they turn both the front and rear axles at the same pace, delivering power to all four wheels like an AWD system. 4WD systems have a bigger advantage off-road. 

2024 Ford Bronco Sport standard drive type 

The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with 4×4 on all trim levels. This type of drivetrain is perfect for off-roading because it allows for more traction on uneven surfaces and prevents slipping and wheel spinning.  

2024 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands ® drive type 

The Badlands model is the most off-road-ready trim level. Like all the trim levels, it offers a 4×4 drive system. Unlike the other models, the Badlands model has an advanced 4×4 system with a twin-clutch rear drive unit. This system allows power to be delivered to a single rear wheel for more traction when the other three wheels have no traction.  

Do I need a vehicle with a 4×4 system? 

We recommend a 4×4 drive system if you’re the type to frequently drive off paved roads. This type of drivetrain can help on uneven gravel roads, over rocks, and on bumpy dirt trails. A 4×4 system usually isn’t engaged on normal paved roads, but off-road is where it really shines.
