On a Ford Escape, if the engine is transversely mounted and You have front and rear drive axles, You have an all-wheel-drive vehicle. If the engine is longitudinally mounted and You have front and rear axles, You have a four-wheel-drive vehicle. AWD is optimized for on-road use. It can send the engine's power to all four tires all of the time. It will help keep Your vehicle moving forward better than front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive on snow-covered or rain-slicked roads.AWD is especially helpful in sloppy road conditions and when driving over moderate off-road terrain. It can help get You going and keep You moving through mud, sand, and other loose surfaces.
