If you’re a first-time 4WD driver in Malaysia, you’ve likely wondered what the best model to buy is. There are many options, but three basic types of 4WD vehicles exist. Part-time 4WD systems operate in two-wheel drive mode and switch to four-wheel drive mode when necessary. Part-time 4WD systems are ideal for everyday use and are often more economical than full-time systems.
