If you’re new to the world beyond the pavement and you’ve never heard of a two-speed transfer case, don’t worry; you’ve come to the right place. The experts at Doug Henry CDJR are here to explain exactly what it is and why off-road enthusiasts swear by it. We’ll cover the mechanics of how it works, what it does, and which vehicles in our inventory come equipped with it.
A two-speed transfer case is a component of four-wheel-drive systems that allows you to switch between high-range and low-range gears. The high-range gear has a 1:1 driving ratio and is what you typically use for everyday driving. It provides a balance between power and speed and is more fuel-efficient. Low-range gear multiplies the torque, giving your vehicle more pulling power at low speeds—ideal for tackling terrains like rocks, deep mud, or steep inclines. When you’re out on the trails and you come across a particularly challenging area, you can switch to low gear to give your vehicle more traction, stability, and control. Then, when you’ve overcome the challenge, kick it into high gear to resume your regular speed.
For off-road enthusiasts, control and power are everything. A two-speed transfer case allows for precise control over your vehicle in extreme conditions. When you're crawling over rocks or navigating through uneven terrain, low-range gear lets you maintain a slow, steady speed while delivering maximum torque to the wheels. This means better traction, reduced wheel spin, and the ability to conquer obstacles that would leave other vehicles stuck in their tracks.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler is not just equipped with a two-speed transfer case; it’s designed from the ground up to be an off-road beast. One of the key features is its available Rock-Trac® 4x4 system, which includes a two-speed transfer case with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, offering unparalleled control on the roughest terrains. Paired with front and rear Tru-Lok® electronic locking differentials, the Wrangler provides exceptional traction.
The 2024 Wrangler also boasts impressive ground clearance, with up to 12.9 inches available on the Rubicon trim and the capability to ford water up to 34 inches deep. Add to that the heavy-duty Dana® 44 axles and the available 35-inch all-terrain tires, and you’ve got a vehicle that’s ready to take on whatever nature throws at it.
