  I believe that many people are confused when they see the data of 6x4, 6x2, and 8x4 when they buy a truck. What do these mean? People who don’t understand the meaning of these data may not be able to judge when buying a car. Which one? The model is suitable for you, the following editor will explain it for you.

 First of all, we must first understand the driving mode. The driving mode refers to the arrangement of the engine and the number and position of the driving wheels. FF is front-engine front-wheel drive. FR is front-engine rear-wheel drive. MR is a mid-engined rear-wheel drive. 4WD is four-wheel drive.

The common driving forms of trucks are 4X2, 6X4, 8X4, etc. The number before "X" represents the total number of wheels of the vehicle, the number after "X" represents the number of driving wheels, and two wheels are installed to count one wheel and one axle is also Just count on two wheels. Divide the two numbers by 2 to get the number of car axles and the number of drive axles. For example, 8X4 means that the truck has 4 axles, 2 of which are drive axles.

4x2 drive form: In fact, it is a two-axle truck, which is commonly known as a single-axle vehicle. It has a total of 4 wheels, and the 2 wheels of the rear axle assume the driving role, so it is marked as 4X2.

6X4: A three-axle vehicle, the front axle is a guide axle, and the rear two axles are drive axles.

8X4: A four-axle vehicle, the front axle is a guide axle, the second axle is a follow-up guide axle, and the rear double axle is a drive axle.

There is also a form of drive called all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive vehicles are mostly used in military vehicles and special vehicles, because they need to face some very harsh, harsh and complex road conditions and require all-wheel drive to meet their needs. And its driving form has 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 and so on. It is relatively rare in ordinary civilian vehicles.
