The engine of a pickup truck is built to pull weight and heavy loads, so they have great towing capacity. You will typically see more passenger space than most vans in a pickup truck providing a comforting driving experience akin to the experience of driving a car but with the benefit of having plenty of room in the back.
4X4 vehicles are simply automobiles that have all 4 wheels powered by an engine. Most cars are 2-wheel drive, this is where the engine power is sent to the front 2 wheels, (front wheel drive), or back 2 wheels, (rear wheel drive). It is for this reason 4x4 vehicles are also known as 4-wheel drives.
There are advantages that come along with 4x4 vehicles that make them a great choice for specific scenarios. Some of these advantages include better grip and traction, towing, off-road driving, elevated positioning and generally more space and capacity.
There are also different types of 4x4 vehicles that toggle between 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive. This provides the driver with control and flexibility to switch back and forth. Alongside this some 4x4 vehicles will automatically adjust the wheels that receive the engines power based on the terrain and surface a driver finds themselves upon.
