Both four-wheel and all-wheel drive power all four wheels. However, AWD is best for giving a vehicle all-weather traction all the time. Four-wheel drive proves better when towing.
Low-range 4×4 should be used when driving at speeds of 40 MPH or less and driving in difficult or offroad conditions. It’s used to increase torque when going over rocks, going through muddy or sandy terrain, and other similar conditions.
This system recalibrates the throttle management and torque distribution to reduce wheel slip and improve traction. The point of this system is to maintain a steady pace on the surface to avoid getting stuck.
The Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension system uses air springs instead of traditional coil springs at each wheel. This allows the vehicle to automatically raise and lower at the touch of a button. This system provides more than 4.0 inches of travel, enhancing off-road capability and on-road manners.
To rock crawl in a Jeep, you have to shift it into four low, disconnect the sway bar, and turn on your vehicle’s rear locker. Going over the rocks with the tires avoids scrapes on the underside of your vehicle, and it’s recommended to go for a low speed of one to three MPH.
