Just a word of warning, just like when in 4x4 in snow/rain/slick... the AWD will NOT SAVE YOU in ANY way shape or form. Literally just last night a dusting of snow almost made me lose my baby.. 45mph not on the brakes or gas and the ass end came past 45deg before I could recover.. made me pucker up a bit.


It IS a nice thing to have 2wd... you only lose two tires at once versus all four and being on a ice skating rink.

97-00 the option was called Full Time and it also had selectable 2wd. 01+ It was called AWD and there was no 2wd.

Correct. I believe it's derived from the Jeep Quadra-trac system, or is the same in itself. 01+ has no 2wd, only AWD/4x4HI/4x4LOW.
