Are you new to jeeping and have a lot of questions? If so, Joel Baker and Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep have got you covered. In this video, we’ll cover the basics of driving a jeep and answer some of the most common questions we get. Let’s dive in!
First things first, let’s talk about the automatic shifter and transfer case shifter in a jeep. The transfer case shifter allows you to switch between two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive low. When driving around town in normal conditions, you’ll be in 2WD. However, if you encounter icy, snowy, or wet conditions and are traveling at a higher speed, switching to 4WD is recommended to prevent slipping. On the other hand, if you’re off-roading and encountering rough terrain, using 4WD low is the way to go to prevent overheating of the transmission and transfer case.
Switching from 2WD to 4WD high can be done while driving at speeds under 45 miles per hour. Simply slide the shifter into 4 high to cruise along without any issues. Transitioning to 4WD low requires putting the transmission in neutral and slowing down to about one mile per hour, then it will smoothly shift into 4WD low.
These tips and tricks will ensure a smooth and hassle-free jeep driving experience for both on-road and off-road adventures. Whether you’re cruising around town or tackling rugged trails, understanding how to utilize your jeep’s 4WD system will enhance your driving capabilities and prevent damage to your vehicle.
