Frequently Asked Questions About Jeeps

If you want a vehicle for intense off-road adventure, it’s hard to deny the incredible capability of the Jeep lineup. If you’re curious about what makes these Jeep vehicles such hearty off-road machines, you’re not alone. At Berglund CDJR, we get a lot of questions about Jeep’s off-road abilities and features, so take a look at the answers below.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jeep

What is the difference between all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive?

All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive both serve as great off-roading drivetrains, as you’ll get power to all four wheels with either option. However, only four-wheel drive also features a low-range gear option, which can come in handy out in uneven landscapes.

What is Low Range 4x4 (or 4WD) for?

A lower gear ratio spins your wheels at a slower speed in favor of more available torque. This makes it easier to get out of tricky off-road situations and scale steep inclines. You’ll need to use it at low speeds, ideally around two to three miles per hour and never above 25 miles per hour.

What does Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension do?

Quadra-Lift Air Suspension adjusts your ride height depending on the situation. It automatically lowers the height on the highway for enhanced aerodynamics, and when you go off-road, you can use it to raise your ground clearance to avoid obstacles underneath.

How does the Selec-Terrain® Management System work?

If you drive a Jeep, you likely won’t spend all your time on smooth pavement. Jeep vehicles are fit for a wide range of situations, and the Selec-Terrain Management System lets you dial in your vehicle’s performance to adapt to different conditions like mud or snow. With the turn of a knob, you can adjust your vehicle’s systems, and this convenient feature will automatically coordinate between the transmission, transfer case, air suspension, traction control, throttle, and electronic stability control to rise to the occasion.

What’s the right way to crawl in a Jeep?

When you want to rock crawl, always use your tires to surmount obstacles – don’t try to straddle the rocks between your tires. This will allow you to use your vehicle’s torque to clear the obstacle in a controlled manner, and you can better avoid scraping the underside of your vehicle. A low gear would serve you well when rock crawling in your Jeep, and you won’t need to use much throttle. Keep the speed low as well, no higher than one to three miles per hour.
