actually it isnt, grab your notebook, you're about to be schooled

2x4 is a piece of lumber..... 4x2 is a drive set up, 4 is for the amount of tires making contact with the pavement, and 2 is for the amount of wheels driving the vehicle, in that specific order... when it comes to dually's or tractor trailers with dually tandem set ups, each dual wheel is considered 1 wheel... so you got 4x2's (including rwd only duallys), 4x4's ( for 4 tires that drive the vehicle or a single axle dually that has 4wd), or 6x2/4 ( tractor trailers, also depending on if you have a single or both rear axles are drive axles.
