Quadra-Drive® II System – If Equipped
The optional Quadra-Drive® II System features two
torque transfer couplings. The couplings include an
Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD) rear axle and
the Quadra-Trac II® transfer case. The optional ELSD
axle is fully automatic and requires no driver input to
operate. Under normal driving conditions, the unit func-
tions as a standard axle, balancing torque evenly between
left and right wheels. With a traction difference between
left and right wheels, the coupling will sense a speed
difference. As one wheel begins to spin faster than the
other, torque will automatically transfer from the wheel
that has less traction, to the wheel that has traction. While
the transfer case and axle coupling differ in design, their
operation is similar. Follow the Quadra-Trac II® transfer
case shifting information, preceding this section, for
shifting this system.
