It is commonly found in SUVs and some cars, making them more capable in off-road or slippery conditions.","simplifiedExplanation":"All-wheel drive means that power goes to all four wheels of the car, helping it grip the road better. This is useful for driving in rain or snow, making the car safer and more stable."}},{"startTime":69.7,"endTime":75.6,"type":"term","title":"4x4","url":"/glossary/4x4","quote":"...All-wheel drive and 4x4 is nice but not required and ground clearance matters less than smart roof choice...","canonicalId":"term:4x4","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"4x4, or four-wheel drive (4WD), is a system that allows all four wheels of a vehicle to receive power from the engine simultaneously. This configuration is particularly beneficial for off-road driving and in challenging terrain, providing better traction and control.","simplifiedExplanation":"4x4 means that all four wheels of the car can get power from the engine, which helps it drive better on rough or slippery surfaces. It's great for off-roading or driving in tough weather."}},{"startTime":81.3,"endTime":88.4,"type":"term","title":"tire pressure gauge","url":"/glossary/tire-pressure-gauge","quote":"...make sure your spare tire is good, bring a tire pressure gauge and air pump, basic hand tools and a flashlight and jumper cables...","canonicalId":"term:tire-pressure-gauge","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"A tire pressure gauge is a tool used to measure the air pressure inside a tire. Maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity.
