4x4s

All-wheel drive vehicles

4x4s are vehicles with four-wheel drive—all four wheels receive power from the engine rather than just two.

The term comes from the notation "4×4," meaning four wheels total, four driven. 4x4s include trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles designed for rough terrain or poor conditions: We took the 4x4s up the mountain trail.

Sometimes spelled 4-by-4s.
