Rear-wheel drive (RWD) typically places the engine in the front of the vehicle and the driven wheels are located at the rear, a configuration known as front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout (FR layout). The front mid-engine, rear mid-engine and rear engine layouts are also used.
In the past, consumers only really had two drivetrain choices, RWD (rear wheel drive) and 4WD (4-wheel drive). Passenger cars and trucks were driven by the rear wheels, and a few specialty trucks got the 4-wheel drive option. Now it seems hard to find a RWD sedan, and the lines between 4WD and AWD (all-wheel drive) can be a bit fuzzy. Front-wheel drive (FWD) has become the standard for many of the cars on the road today, but it has its pros and cons, depending on your driving needs.
