You hear the terms often when you're shopping for a new car, but what is the difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive?The difference between front and rear-wheel drive is which wheels are engaged by the engine. In a front-wheel drive car, it's the front wheels that receive the engine's drive, and the rear wheels are the ones that are powered by a rear-wheel-drive car. Because front-wheel-drive cars have less distance between the engine and wheels it moves, they have better fuel economy, while rear-wheel drive offers better handling.At Academy Ford Sales, our experienced sales staff are ready and happy to help you with any questions that you might have.
