Thank you so much for this video. You gave a very thorough basic understanding for engaging 4 high to 4 low crawling at 2 - 5 mph. Even better you gave a description that we should stop the vehicle and have it in neutral from shifting to 4 high to 4 low.

​ @dieseJL You can order Wranglers and Gladiators with Auto 4 High. E.g., in addition to regular 4H and 4L, there is also a 4H Auto setting on the lever. So it has 2H-4HAuto-4H-N-4L. You can leave it in 4H-Auto all the time, even on-road. In that setting, the computer will engage 4H when it senses there rear wheels slipping.

Owners manual says 2H to 4H can be done up to 45mph. Recommend everyone become familiar with your vehicle's operating manual. Good video.

Just got a wrangler and this video was very helpful. Thank you very much for explaining it simple enough for me to understand and remember all the info easily 👍🏼

I've owned a JK since 2016 and learned a few things in this video. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the information, we just bought a jeep gladiator and you were very detailed

Perfect explanations… WITH CONTEXT. That made all the difference for me. Thank you.

As an owner I have to say this this is a beast! 20 rolling on 37s getting 23 mpg Pure absolute pleasure to drive. Great video info.

Thanks for making this video, as a new '21 JL owner this is very informative!

Thanks for doing this video, great information.

Excellent, thanks buddy, I learned something today. Jeep Life.

In snowy Vermont right now and using jeep. Thanks for all the information

My wife and I got a 2013 Jeep JK Sport S 5 speed auto 2 door back in 2016, just paid it off. So I got myself a 2020 Jeep JL Sport 6 speed manual 2 door, man the fuel economy is such a difference! Get way better mileage on the JL. We kept the JK so 2 jeeps to offroad together now ahahah

Very informative. Needed the difference between 4WD vs AWD. Thanks!

Double yoke the front axle at the wheel would get rid of alot of the steering jerking and a torsion diff in the rear would get you three tires spinging. Ultimate 4x4

Very helpful video. Thanks

Wonderful video man..! Now I know better my Rubicon and feel less guilty for spending that much money 🙈 thank you very much

Excellent information sir...

Thanks for the info. I will be taking my gladiator for a spin.

Great video, awesome information sharing!

1:55 and that eco-diesel just sounds sick plowing through that snow!

Awesome vid!!

luv diesel wranglers and hemi as well. both are the best.

Helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

The Jeep web site FAQ and manual says top speed that you can shift from 2H to 4H is 55MPH. Of course if you are going 55MPH you probably don't need to be in 4H in the first place. Top speed for 4L is 25MPH.

Beautiful home......btw...🙂🗽 Ordered my first Jeep last week they say 6 weeks....excited....I got the Wrangler with the High Altitude package with sky touch. Can't wait.👀

Great video. I would have added a section on not to engage 4wd on dry pavement roads. Someone is going play around not familiar with using 4wd, bind and have a bad day.

Nice ride super stock!

A question in my mind--does the Traction Control help or hurt in the snow like you're driving? I have an '18 JLUR w/3.6L gas engine. In 4-LO the TCS turns itself off, but not in 4-HI. But if I hold down the TCS button for about 5 seconds, it goes off and stays that way. So your opinion here--on surfaces like snow or sand, and in 4-HI, is TCS helping or hurting? I've heard it might be hurting, as the system actually applies braking to a spinning wheel. So, enough of that and there's a power-loss going on? Great video, love learning about the new systems!

What about brake locking differential or torque vectoring... Can you go over that?

Hey Nice work.

You can shift easily from 2H to 4H on the freeway, just take your foot off the accelerator. When on the freeway on a long road trip in winter at times you have to activate four wheel drive when you are hitting a snow covered area.

The manual and Mopar video says to shift to 4L while moving between 2-3mph with shifter in neutral. I've done it and it clunks hard as hell...

I just purchased a Wrangler JL Unlimited Sport, very pleased with the 4x4, solid drive axles is what appealed to me. What about locking diff's? That's only available for the Rubicon?

best road car🙂

Every time I watch a new video with the ecodiesel, or a Gladiator.. It makes me so damn eager to get mine.. lol. Soon.. soon.

I love my 2021 ecodiesel Willys so far. Do you have any plans to get the cold air intake from AFE or the filter back muffler delete from AFE ? I think magnaflow has a muffler delete too

8:25 The owners manual literally states, “The preferred shifting (2H To 4H Or 4H To 2H) speed would be 0 to 45 mph.”

I have an unlimited 2021. Just to ask a quick question should i be in motion going from 4WD High to neutral to low or should i be at a complete stop? Sorry I am very confused on that part

I just got a JL Willys. I have feel like it is pretty hard changing to 4h in Park. I’m used to having a pickup and turning a knob.

Recently I got stuck in my 2018 sport s. I was in 2H with a back tire spinning. After a while I got out but never figured out how to engage 4wd from 2H while stuck. Should I have put it in neutral and switched from 2H to 4H while not in motion? Can I engage 4wd while the car is not moving?

Perfect 👍🏻

Thank you thank you. Owned my 2019 Wrangler for 2 years never had to use 4wd in Hawaii...well now im in WA and couldn't figure it out today. Driving around in 2wd and couldn't make it up a slushy icy hill while everyone else driving past me. Quite embarrassing. Could not figure out out to shift the transfer case - watching KZfaq videos sitting in the middle of the road. Will try this tomorrow

Great video, a question, I just got a 2021 WILLYS manual transmission, to I have to use clutch to switch from 2H to 4H? You are right about 4WD after having 2 WRX I keep my Willy’s

great channel. Gave you a sub. I am looking at a new 2021 willys now...trying to decide.

Glad you touched on turning in 4H on pavement. But would like to know will it do the same city driving with snow covered roads? Example not going super fast but need to turn at a stop sign with the road slushed or snow covered.

This is the only one JL engine (diesel 3.0) without the "4H Auto" option. All the rest starting from Sahara version (2.0, 2.2D, 3.6) have this one for daily use. I drive my 2.0 Sahara in 4H Auto, it works very well, in deep snow also. Does anybody know why ecodiesel does not have this option? To cut costs?

What about your lockers? Could you show a video on that?

Are those "Off-road Pages" only available on the Rubi? My Willys doesn't show that on the UConnect.

Great video very well explained. Why does my JL have 4H Auto and 4H Part Time and other JLs do not.

this is 3.0 eco diesel version?

"if you get stuck in your Subaru..." what?! I've yet to get stuck and I've TRIED! :D However, I also ordered a '22 Wrangler as my first ever Jeep and am trading in my lifted '18 Outback because the Jeep is better. I'd take a Subaru anyday for a daily driver in the snow but that's not my intention. My struts are all leaking at under 60k because I do Jeep things in my Outback. haha

What kind of axles come in the 2023 4xe wrangler sahara

perhaps i would have included a locking differential discussion in the video...many, if not most, jeep buyers don't have one in the rear....rubicon owners get one, regardless of powertrain option, but so do diesel powertrain buyers, regardless of trim level......willys owners get one too, regardless of powertrain option....but for many owners, they don't have one....makes a difference even on wet roads under hard acceleration, especially when turning......let alone off road.....

I just traded in my old 2001 TJ for a 2021 Rubicon JL. I'm still learning all the aspects of all the features. Many things I like and some I don't like, but give me a month for it to grow on me. I wonder when Jeep will go to independent suspension on the axels?

The 2021 Gladiator owners manual states the preferred shifting speed would be 0 to 45 mph. I remember this also was correct in my 2013 Sahara. Diesels could be different. Thanks for another great video and where in Michigan are you with all that snow in March? Here on the Ohio Michigan border we've been having 70 degree weather and our 20 inches are long gone. ❄🎉

What is top speed that you can drive a jl on 4 high?

I’m not knocking the EcoDiesel JL, because I actually want one. Actually almost exactly like yours. My hesitation, however is that the EcoDiesel has not had a stellar track record in the reliability department. I’ve heard this is a “new generation” of it, but I’m still holding back to see if they are actually doing better. Any input on that?

hi I see that your fuel ave is 17.5 I bought my rubicon 2020 brand new a month ago , it is still 13.5 :( . any idea ????

Does the rubicon come with lockers?

Lockers should never be used on normal road conditions! Damage to drive train can occur…😉

I live in Canada where the roads are covered in snow and ice. I put my rubicon (2021) in 4WH and STILL feel the jeep slipping and sliding. Be in mind the roads where i live have 10-15 foot ditches on both sides of the road, so sliding and losing control is not an option. PLEASE HELP! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Should I be in 4L? I need to be able to speed up to 65 km/h to keep with traffic and speed limits. TIA. And YES my tires are original factory and only 7 months old

Command-Trac, shift on the fly. Remember those commercials??? Some people try to yank it in 4H, from dead stop. No good! Shift on fly.

I would agree with most of what you say, but the Wrangler 4WD is not "better" than Subaru AWD. In fact, the Subura AWD system is entirely based on the Jeep Corporation Quadratrac with viscuous coupling. It's a limited slip differential, not an open transfer case differential. You can't stop them.

What’is top speed four-wheel-drive high

When should you use it? Anytime the road is slippery, contaminated with frozen precipitation, or there is any pooling of water, risking hydroplaning...The Jeep is designed to best operate in 4WD in these conditions.

I don't get the explanation of the jeep 4wd. Only one wheel in the back and 1 wheel in the front will spin? I thought 4wd meant all 4 wheels have power going to them?

You sure about the rock-trac in your JL? I thought you cannot get the rock-trac with the ecodiesel. Cheers.

Do Jeeps Have Different 4wd Systems Than GM Pickup Trucks?... It Seems Better For A GM Vehicle Researching Online..... I Can Find Videos Of Fords Driving Out Of Ditches.. And Jeeps Rock Climbing.... ..But NO GMC Sierra Denalis making It Out Of Any Ditches....

Its Between The Ford Raptor And The GMC Sierra Denali...But Feel The GMC Will Just Sink In A Wet Puddled Ditch..While Ford Are More Aluminum (correct me if im wrong)... But looks Like Ill Make It Out Of A Ditch In A Ford Tho....🤔.... Thoughts? Also I Saw A Video Of The Steering Wheel Not Put On Right...I Gotta Wonder About Who Is Putting These Things Together....

How fast can you go in 4H?

how fast can you go in 4 high?

Right ?

According to the Owner's Manual, you shift to 4-Low while rolling at 2-3 mph with the transmission in Neutral; once engaged, shift back to Drive and enjoy off-roading. 😎

Subaru owners are watching this mad as hell and farting up a storm

1 tire spinning in my old 91 s10 blazer in a 1/4 inch of sand...😡🤷

Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?

I'm going to have to disagree with you about the wranglers four wheel drive system being better than a Subaru. If anything I'd say it's on par with the Subaru. My wife's car is a 2020 Subaru Forester sport, and I am in love with her car. You turn traction control off and each wheel gets 25% power. I've done some serious hill climbs, through the last ice storm we had a few weeks back and pretty much every weekend I go hit the local mud pot, I've yet to ever get stuck. The only thing that I dislike about her Subaru Forester sport other than all the damn evil technology in it which wants you to hit your brakes 24/7, even with a lift kit the max tire size you can fit on it is about 29 in, if you want anything over that you need to do some serious body modifications, which annoyingly enough my wife won't let me do. :'( Love the videos keep making them!!!!! ❤️

I think you're confused on how 4 wheel drive works. You described lockers.

Come back at 35-50k miles lol and then tell Jeep’s fiat area great 😂

Oh my God go buy us Suburban

Not all jeeps...Just Rubicon and Mojave have the true 4WD

Save yourself time. Buy a Tazer and delete all the factory traction control bs if you plan off being offroad.

Question.. how will that jeep do in the snow when it breaks down at 45k miles and the Subaru drives by it? Lol .. just playing

jl= just laughable...jk= justified king!

Still the same and the price much higher

Rides like crap (solid axles), handles like a tank, gets terrible gas mileage, & is noisy at freeway speeds … love my Jeep JLU. 😁

So many things in this video are incorrect

Lol you clearly never had a Subaru in the snow. It outrun any jeep including a JL learn more about why it stops a tire you might like that! I own both and on snowy days Subaru is the boss!! Keep is cooler.
