There are a lot of different kinds of car out there. There are hatchbacks, sedans, bakkies, convertibles and then there is the four by four.
The first reason is that it is a very adaptable vehicle. The four by four can go anywhere. It is very comfortable to drive on road and is very easy to handle off road, it can manage to go over much rougher terrain than any other kind of vehicle.
Then, there is the fact that it is a four by four. This means that it uses all four wheels to move the car instead of just either the front or back pair. This means that if one wheel or pair of wheels does not get traction the others can get the vehicle out of the predicament by using the diff lock most four by four driven vehicles come equipped with. The diff lock allow the power distribution between the wheels to change from having the most power going to the wheels with least resistance to the power going to the wheels with most resistance. This means that the wheels that have traction will get more power sent to them instead of having the wheels with no grip spin and the vehicle go nowhere.
Since the four by four is such an adaptable vehicle it is very popular with people who frequently need to carry large loads but still want to drive in comfort. Most four by fours have air conditioning and radios and electric everything. This makes them a pleasure to drive for long periods of time. They also have large carrying capacities which means that they can be used to carry large loads.
The four by four is a wonderful vehicle and can be made to do just about any job. It is perfect for everything from around town driving to load carrying to long distance travel.
