You go to a car dealership, and ask for a 4-wheel drive car and / or truck.
Most cars are actually AWD, and Trucks or Suvs are most often 4wd. Assuming you are speaking specifically of a car, the ability to make decision should be based on the weather conditions requiring the AWD vs. towing or hauling in a truck or suv. Is off-roading or deep snow going to make clearance height a factor? Overall length and interior room may have a bearing on the balance and handling of the vehicle in good and bad weather, so try to drive many different vehicles and where snow may not be possible, try driving on loose dirt to see how the car handles the ability to grab the road and move you forward. AWD can also impact performance on clear roads, if that is a consideration. Read the auto forums regarding AWD vs. 4wd to decide which vehicles best suit your needs and budget, before venturing ot the dealership. There are too many to drive all of them, and not every dealership stocks awd, so call or go online to check inventories before wasting your time and gas. An appointment with a fleet or internet manager will likely enhance your showroom visit and test drive experience.

Some modern cars however now have mechanisms that deliver power to all four of the wheels at once, this is a four wheel or all wheel drive.
