All Wheel Drive (shortened to All Wheels in-game or AWD) is a gameplay mechanic in SpinTires, MudRunner, and SnowRunner.

SpinTires and MudRunner[]

Many vehicles in SpinTires and MudRunner have AWD that can be engaged and disengaged at the push of a button. Supplying power to all wheels, it improves traction and performance specifically in uneven terrain at the cost of additional fuel consumption. Some vehicles have permanently engaged AWD, which gives them an even greater advantage although those that have no AWD at all are completely unusable outside of asphalt.

SnowRunner[]

SnowRunner introduces the system of being able to buy AWD upgrades for trucks that do not have AWD. Certain trucks like the Ford CLT9000 do not possess AWD at all, trucks like the Fleetstar F2070A or White Western Star 4964 have their AWD hidden away in an upgrade car and can equip it once unlocked, and some trucks like the Voron AE-4380 or the Tayga 6436 have theirs always on by default. Some trucks have engagable AWD by default like the International Paystar 5070. AWD is engaged the same as in the two previous titles by hitting a button though depending on the control scheme, the clutch may need to be engaged to do that.

List of AWD types[]
