Bob Brady Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT
If you want to go off-road, there’s bound to be a Jeep that can get you there. Before you come to find your new Jeep here at Bob Brady CDJR, it’s understandable if you have some questions about these vehicles, their specs, and their capabilities. Of course, our Jeep experts are ready to answer your questions, and plenty of other drivers have also asked about what Jeep can do. Take a look at the frequently asked questions below for our answers.
Both of these drivetrain options are suited to roadways as well as trails, as they both direct power to all four wheels. The most notable difference is that four-wheel drive also enables low-range gearing, which makes more torque available for enhanced off-roading.
What is Low Range 4x4 for?The low gear ratio enabled by four-wheel drive turns your vehicle’s wheels at a slower speed than higher gear settings, allowing more torque to the wheels when you need it to negotiate tricky off-roading situations. This gear ratio is intended for low speeds, no greater than 25 miles per hour and ideally around two to three miles per hour.
What’s the right way to rock crawl in a Jeep?When crawling over rocks, logs, or other off-road obstacles, go over the obstacle with the tires and avoid straddling it, as this will better protect the underside of your vehicle. Use a low gear and go easy on the throttle, moving no faster than one to three miles per hour.
How does the Selec-Terrain® Management System work?The Selec-Terrain Management System is designed to help you dial in your vehicle’s performance settings to better suit the terrain ahead with the turn of a rotary knob, you can prepare for different driving conditions by adjusting the electronic stability control, air suspension, transfer case, throttle, traction control, and transmission for the task at hand.
What does Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension do?Ground clearance matters when you’re rumbling off-road, and the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system lets you increase your ride height to better avoid obstacles that might jut out on the trails. When you get back on the highway, it can also automatically lower the ground clearance for enhanced aerodynamics.
