Part-time 4WD is the original 4WD system and the most basic.
As with Full time 4WD there are several options available to the driver. In normal conditions the vehicle is driven in two-wheel drive, usually powering only the rear wheels. 4WD mode can be selected either by a separate mechanical lever or by an electronic switching system
AWD systems also lack the 'low range' feature which is common in most 4WDs.
The AWD system is less effective and more fragile than the 4WD system in a situation where high torque is required. Indeed, the viscous coupling units simply cannot satisfy high torque demands when the vehicle is offroad. AWD vehicles tend to be more 'car' like than obvious offroaders.

4wd and awd are sometimes used interchangeably even when referring to the same drive stlystem but there's typically a key difference between the systems what is the distinction?
The key distinction between 4WD (four-wheel drive) and AWD (all-wheel drive) lies in their intended use and functionality. 4WD is designed for off-road and rugged terrain, providing power to all four wheels manually or automatically when needed, often featuring low-range gearing for better traction. In contrast, AWD is generally intended for on-road use, automatically distributing power to all wheels as needed for improved traction in various weather conditions. AWD systems are typically more integrated and cannot be manually engaged or disengaged like 4WD systems.
