As a family-friendly SUV that can go off the beaten path for a fun adventure, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo comes with the Quadra Trac I 4x4 System.
Using a full-time, single-speed AWD mechanism, this feature does not require any input from you as a driver. It works by engaging all four wheels with approximately 48 percent of the generated torque traveling to the front axle. Meanwhile, the remaining 52 percent gets sent to the rear.
Using open differentials, it relies heavily on the vehicle’s traction control to distribute the appropriate amount of power to the correct tires. This helps to prevent wheelspin, which occurs when one loses grip.
Also included is a New Venture Gear NV140 transfer case. It isn’t low-range, so your rock crawling capabilities will be a bit more limited.
