ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Four Wheel Drive

Okay kiddo, imagine you're playing with your toy car and you have to drive over different kinds of surfaces like sand, mud, and rocks. If you just use your two back wheels, your car might get stuck or slide around a lot.

So, four wheel drive is when all four of your toy car's wheels work together to help it drive over those different surfaces. It makes your toy car more stable and helps it go places it wouldn't be able to go otherwise.

In real life, cars and trucks can have four wheel drive too. They use a special system that helps all four wheels turn and move together at the same time. This can be really helpful when you're driving in rough terrain or on slippery roads because it gives you more control over the car.

But remember, just like with your toy car, four wheel drive doesn't mean you can do anything you want. You still have to be careful and go slow in tricky situations to stay safe.
