Your vehicle’s drivetrain plays a major role in performance, connecting the engine to the wheels. As the engine runs, the drivetrain system is responsible for delivering power to the wheels – and ensuring your vehicle is revved and ready to roll!
There are four different types of drivetrain systems to choose from:
- Front-wheel drive (FWD)
- Rear-wheel drive (RWD)
- All-wheel drive (AWD)
- Four-wheel drive (4WD)
Here at Santee Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, our experienced team can help you determine which drivetrain meets your needs. Read more about the benefits of each here.
Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
Most sedans and compact cars come standard with front wheel drive. This type of drivetrain delivers power to the front wheels, providing average traction and handling – perfect for everyday, on-road driving. Plus, most front wheel drive vehicles are incredibly fuel efficient!
Our inventory includes a variety of Jeep models with front wheel drive, like the following:
- 2021 Jeep Compass
- 2021 Jeep Cherokee
- 2021 Jeep Renegade
- 2021 Chrysler Pacifica
Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)
Rear wheel drive vehicles do not perform well on slippery roads in rainy or snowy conditions. With below-average traction, rear wheel drive systems are not ideal for family vehicles or off-road adventurers. Sports cars, especially those built for racing, typically utilize rear wheel drive. Some RAM trucks are available in rear wheel drive as well.
Test drive one of the following RWD vehicles:
- 2021 Dodge Charger
- 2021 Dodge Challenger
- 2021 Chrysler 300
- 2021 RAM 1500
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All wheel drive vehicles prioritize safety, offering great traction in almost any weather conditions. They are specially designed to tackle varying terrain with ease, thanks to enhanced traction and top handling capabilities.
Check out one of these vehicles available with AWD:
- 2021 Jeep Renegade
- 2021 Jeep Cherokee
- 2021 Dodge Durango
- 2021 Chrysler Pacifica
- 2021 Dodge Challenger
Four Wheel Drive (4WD or 4×4)
Four wheel drive vehicles are designed for the road less travelled. Jeep and RAM have perfected their rugged, backroad-ready lineups, with four wheel drive vehicles like the following:
- 2021 Jeep Wrangler
- 2021 Jeep Gladiator
- 2021 RAM 1500 TRX
- 2021 RAM 1500
