Jeeps are well-known as off-road vehicles. Much of their off-road capabilities must be
attributed to their powerful engines and sturdy frames, but the true hero can
be found behind the scenes.
In vehicles like the 2013 Jeep Wrangler, Jeep’s Command-Trac
four-wheel drive system is what gives it its off-road prowess. The system is based on a Dana 30 solid front
axle, the transmission (automatic or manual is fine) and a Dana 35 rear axle. This system allows for a very easy and smooth
transfer from two-to-four wheel drive.
Two-wheel drive is designed for every day driving on paved
surfaces and provides the best fuel economy.
Four-wheel drive high range is best for when your Jeep is driving over
loose terrain or if you get stuck in snow or ice. The system also has a neutral system for
situations where you’d like your Jeep towed behind another vehicle. Finally, the system also offers a Four-Low
range mode, which is used for difficult off-road or towing situation. This mode requires that you move that a very
low speed, but multiplies your torque to 2.72-1.
