2018 Toyota Tundra 2WD vs 2018 Toyota Tundra 4WD  

Four-Wheel Drive vs Two-Wheel Drive  

All trucks have transmission systems that in part work to send power to the wheels. The difference between four-wheel drive (4WD) and two-wheel drive (2WD) systems is how many wheels are receiving the power. Four-wheel drive systems are sending power to all four wheels while two-wheel drive systems are sending power to either the front wheels (front-wheel drive) or the back wheels (rear-wheel drive).   

The four-wheel drive configuration of the 2018 Toyota Tundra is recommended for drivers who regularly deal with heavy snowfall or who want the ability to go beyond light off-roading. Because of the added weight of the 4WD system, Tundra models with this configuration will be heavier and will forgo a little bit of hauling potential.  

The two-wheel drive configuration of the 2018 Toyota Tundra will work great for drivers who don’t need to regularly drive through heavy snow and only need light off-roading ability. The largest advantages of 2WD Tundra configurations are the decreased cost and increased towing and payload capacities.
