4WDs
Rugged terrain vehicles
4WDs is the plural of 4WD, an abbreviation for four-wheel drive—a vehicle drivetrain that powers all four wheels simultaneously.
The term refers both to the system and to vehicles equipped with it: We took the 4WDs out to the dunes.
Such vehicles handle rough terrain, mud, and snow better than two-wheel-drive alternatives.
