Actually most vehicles are only 1-wheel drive unless they have a locker or similar installed (4x4 would be “2-wheel drive”).

roofuskit@lemmy.world 10 months agoI’m assuming the electric f150 has greater than 1 wheel drive?

Which vehicles have that? The base cybertruck has two motors for AWD.

It’s just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

Regular F150s have single wheel drive.

Can you explain? I’m not much into cars, but that doesn’t sound right to me. A quick Google suggests maybe you’re referring to the open differential, but I don’t think that means that only one wheel is powered.

He’s referring to an open differential. If you look at an open differential vehicle doing a burnout you will see that only one wheel is spinning.

I guess making a search online is the one thing slightly more difficult than making an assumption.

You gotta love these comments in forums. Like the whole point of being here is to discuss and people like this are literally telling you to leave the site. Very useful, much contributions.

OK, but what the hell was that person on about though?
