Transforming a two-wheel-drive Ford truck into a four-wheel-drive vehicle is feasible but requires careful consideration of compatibility factors, such as the model year, drivetrain, and transmission. You'll need specific components like a transfer case, front driveshaft, shifter, and potentially additional parts, which can be sourced from specialized websites. This modification comes with significant costs and complexity, often exceeding $2,500, and typically demands mechanical expertise and specialized tools. For many, buying a used Ford truck with existing four-wheel drive might be a more practical alternative. Expert advice is recommended, and Truck Transmission Specialists can provide guidance, though they don't handle four-wheel-drive conversions directly.
