I recently presented a maserati grecale on an elevator on my KZread channel and both the grecale and the grand Cherokee are built on the Giorgio Platform, together with the alfa romeo stelvio and Giulia, but here i see they switched to a true 5 link rear design, the italians use a big double element arm that forms a single unit so it is technically a 4 link design. That transfer case you filmed is 100% a Magna Powertrain Actimax system, the same as bmw x drive, alfa q4 and kia stinger awd. It does not have a center diff, but contains a clutchpack with electromechanical camplate actuation. They probably brand it as quadra trac I , higher spec models will use quadra trac II and quadra drive, which are all built by magna, because they bought new venture gear many years ago. Former land rover discovery 4 models used something similar but with a true center diff and low range. The new range rovers don't even have a center diff, they all use clutchpacks, probably magna too

Great review, ,,,I come for the pointer.

I have a 2011 JGC, and I’m trying to understand why/when the Pentastar got so complicated. All that wiring and the huge amount of hoses up front look like a nightmare. Overall I’m torn. I like the aluminum cradle, but not the overly complicated suspension. I like that it runs a timing chain, but not all the spaghetti hanging off the motor. Port injection is a huge plus. Im fine with composite pans. Here in the rust belt steel pans need to be maintained. I’d be interested in service intervals for all the fluids.

@speedkar99

Good call. I've got a Pentastar from a Jeep Wrangler here that I'll be teardown soon so we'll see how that goes. I think the new JGC definitely has some improvements if you stick with the older engines. Not to say there are better choices on the market...
