four wheeler

Off-road recreational vehicle

A four wheeler is an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with four wheels, designed for off-road use on rough terrain: We took the four wheelers out on the trails.

The term is informal and regional, especially common in rural areas where ATVs are used for recreation, farming, and hunting.

Four-wheeler can also refer more broadly to any four-wheeled vehicle, though this sense is less common.
