wheels at the back push the vehicle forward.
4 wheels at the back provides twice friction against the road making the chance to slip due to it's own weight fairly low. these type of vehicles needs these extra set of wheels especially on rainy days. the front wheels need not to add an extra pair because they are needed to maneuver the vehicle and would make it harder to turn with 4 wheels in front (i can only say that someone can possibly build a vehicle with 4 wheels in front by a custom build if he wants it. also no car factory has ever done a vehicle with 4 wheels in front)
heavier loads requires more wheels at the back and middle as to distribute the weight of the axle load.

What is the working principle of differential engine?
A differential in an automobile is used to transfer the power to rear drive axles from the transmission in rear wheel drive vehicles. In 4-wheel drive, the two differentials transfer power from the transfer case to the wheels. Most front wheel drive vehicles use a transaxle which combines a transmission and differential in the same case. Again, one of the roles is to transfer power to the wheels. However, it does more than that. It allows one wheel in the set to turn faster than the other. That is so the vehicle can negotiate curves without skidding.
