How does all wheel drive work in Jeep Patriot?

The all-wheel-drive system requires no driver input or control. Under most driving conditions, it is passive and power is transmitted to the front wheels alone. Unlike all-wheel drive systems that rely on pumps or viscous fluids to transfer torque, this system requires no front-to-rear slippage for activation.

What’s the difference between 4WD and 4WD Low on a Jeep Patriot?

These may be amateur questions for most of you. Nonetheless, what is the difference between the Patriot’s 4wd lock and a regular 4wd in a pickup truck or something. Furthermore, is the 4wd lock better, worse, or not much different. Finally, i have a manual so if I have the 4wd lock on and keep the Jeep in a low gear will that be similar to 4wd Low?

Which is better a transfer case or a 4WD Lock?

Leaving the gear in 1 is the lowest you’re going to get which I believe is something like 15:1. It’s not the same as a transfer case in 4hi or 4low, but better than other AWDs, and better than a lot of so called 4x4s that only have one drive wheel in front and one, or maybe two in the rear.
