Wheel Drive
The benefits of four wheel drive
If you often find yourself driving over challenging terrain or in adverse conditions, four wheel drive could be the most effective and safest option for your vehicle. While many larger vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs operate in four wheel drive mode as standard, the option can also be a useful feature for standard cars, especially when driving in the winter.
There are numerous advantages to four wheel drive, most obviously the improved traction offered by utilising all four wheels to propel the vehicle forward, rather than just the rear wheels. With more driving wheels in operation, your car will be better protected when traversing slippery roads, such as those covered in frost or ice, as wheels that temporarily lose traction could be compensated for by the others.
Four wheel drive can also be considered essential if you're planning on driving off-road, where standard driving modes could see wheels losing their grip on uneven surfaces. As long as there is sufficient contact between the road and several of your driving wheels, four wheel drive vehicles can be adept at navigating otherwise tricky conditions, including driving through mud and shallow water.
While four wheel drive is undoubtedly useful for everyday driving, it's also a big winner on the racetrack, due to the improved performance and handling it offers drivers. Sports cars seeking faster acceleration times often make use of four wheel drive, allowing more of the engine's power to be instantly transferred to the road. This driving style is also much safer at high speeds, offering improved steering to allow drivers to respond to oncoming hazards more quickly, and to avoid damage and the need for repairs such as car windshield replacement.
This improved performance comes at a cost though, in terms of more weight being required in the rear of the car than standard. This can result in the vehicle becoming heavier in the front, due to engine compensation, and could take some time for newcomers to get used to, despite being more effective for performance in the long term.
There are other trade-offs that typically need to be made when opting for four wheel drive, however, and these need to be weighed against the advantages if you're deciding on your next vehicle purchase. The increased power needed to operate four driving wheels rather than the standard two wheels leads to an inevitable drop in fuel efficiency for these vehicles, meaning your fuel costs could be higher and more frequent. Even the vehicles themselves tend to be more expensive than standard drive cars, due to their more costly manufacturing process.

How to shift into four wheel drive in a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo?
How do you shift into four wheel drive in a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 6 cylinder? For instance do you have to be moving or stopped and do you have to be in neutral or drive and what is the difference between full time and part time four wheel drive.
Thanks.
you need to be stopped and in park when you switch to 4 wheel drive. if you have manual hubs, you will have to get out and turn the dials on the hubs to lock them in. if automatic, you still need to be stopped. then you switch to 4wd(it may be a lever on the floor, or a button on the dash) and back up a minimum of six feet to lock in the hubs. the difference between full time 4wd and part time, is that full time 4wd is 4wd all of the time, and part time has to be switched into 4wd via the procedure above when you have a need for 4wd
