A four-wheel drive vehicle can offer many benefits. In order for you to shift your truck from two-wheel to four-wheel drive, you need to engage the help of either the chain drive or gears inside the transfer case.
The transfer case utilizes the driveshafts for the front and rear axles to adjust the gear ratio and rotational speed of all four tires. The purpose is for the wheels to move at the same speed. This is achieved by slowing the speed at which the tires turn.
Your tires are the one piece of equipment on your vehicle that is actually designed to make contact with the road while you drive. That is why they can suffer from some of the heaviest wear and tear. That is why it is so important to do your part of maintaining them in order to maximize their lifespan.
One of the easiest and most important things that you can do for your tires is to keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. An over or under-inflated tire will wear down faster and more unevenly resulting in needing to be replaced…

While we’re always grateful to see one of our Ford vehicles featured on Autotrader’s “Five Reasons to Buy” series, we have to admit that there are quite a few more reasons to own the 2017 F-150 than that. In fact, Jabari Jones even comments on it. But if you want the detail-icious goods, hold tight, because we aim to deliver.
If there was one reason behind offering a 450-hp, off-road rated pickup like the 2017 Ford Raptor, it’s for enabling capable debauchery. But while the outgoing truck did that quite well, many are eager to see just how high the bar has been raised. Absence of a V8 aside (although many will miss the soundtrack), Motor Trend discovered it’s been perched at nigh-unassailable heights.
Whenever a new version of a favorite model arrives—especially one such as the Ford Raptor—there are always going to be inevitable comparisons to whatever came before.
