Ford Bronco 4WD Owner's Guide Page 3 - How Your 4WD Differs From Other Vehicles

This is page 3 of a Ford owner's guide/4WD supplement explaining how a four-wheel-drive vehicle differs from conventional passenger vehicles. The page, titled "How Your 4WD Differs From Other Vehicles," lists three key dimensional differences: the 4x4 may be Higher (to travel over rough terrain without getting hung up or damaging underbody components, and to accommodate 4WD driveline components), Shorter (to allow approaching inclines and driving over hill crests without hanging up; the shorter wheelbase may also make the vehicle respond more quickly to steering inputs than a longer-wheelbase vehicle), and Narrower (for greater maneuverability in tight spaces, particularly off-road, and improved fuel efficiency). Below the text are two comparison illustrations, a side profile and a rear view of a two-door 4WD sport utility (consistent with a Ford Bronco, including a rear-mounted spare tire) superimposed over the shaded silhouette of a standard passenger car, visually demonstrating the height, length, and width differences described. A reader learns why 4WD vehicles are built with different proportions and how these traits affect off-road capability, steering response, and maneuverability. No part numbers, specifications, or model years are printed on this page.
