The Subaru Outback (AWD) has 8.7" of ground clearance. The Ford Explorer ("Intelligent" 4WD) has a ground clearance of 7.8".
If "Intelligent 4WD" means some kind of differential, then it really is just a marketing term at this point, though I learned about the distinction between 4WD and AWD when I bought a Subaru.
- TylerE 10y agoIt's about more than just ground clearance. Approach and departure angles matter too. The Outback has long overhangs, especiially the front.
