    This was SO helpful for me understanding all that stuff! I’ve got a 2013 Trailhawk with the Quadra Trac 2 system and I have noticed a couple situations where staying on the gas and letting the Jeep work out the terrain itself worked out! Now I know why so thanks for this video! The comparisons with you talking about it made it very easy to understand

I hate electronic assistant features that nowadays are common on most real offroaders0 having the right tires with the right pressure and most importantly a competent driver is a must. However, as seennin your video both Quadra trac 2 and Quadra drive 4wd systems are doing their job flawless.

Now I know I bought the right one. What I really like is how the suspension automatically adjusts depending on which terrain selection the driver chooses - select the terrain and the Summit does the rest. As dummy proof as you can get. Thx!

It seems like they never actually produced any in 22' with the Off-Road Group due to parts shortages, and in 23' now you can't get the off-road group on anything but the 4xe Grand Cherokee.

    Ausie videos of wk2 had same clicking. I think they indicated it was the transfer case chain jumping and slipping. QD2 has limited slip rear differential using clutch plates, not a true locker. Looking at the diff cover, if you see cooling fins, then it has QD2 ELSD. QT2 has a smooth diff cover. I’ve had both and it’s definitely better with QD2 in more extreme terrain.

I understand it’s basic and basically open, but I’d be curious what your input/experience was with this system. I just got a 2011 WK2 26x (the loaded v6) and it has quadra trac 1 and I’m curious if it’s even worth putting armor and sliders on.

Is Quadradrive II a true locking rear differential, or a limited slip differential? Brake lock differential really helps. For on road use, Quadratrac I or II is all you need.

    I am glad I've hung onto my 2012 GC Overland as newer models no longer have the front e-LSD. So far I have mainly used it in beach/sand driving and mostly get away with selecting Sand/Mud in Selectatrac but for serious deep sand, the QD2 does a great job in low range with the fully locked diffs/transfer case making it almost unstoppable. This video shows that QT2 looks like a poor cousin and while it gets the job done, it needs a bit of finesse on the the throttle with a fair bit of drama whereas the QD2 makes it look easy. Shame on Jeep for dropping the e-LSD option.

    Jeep had both systems available with the air suspension early in production, you could even get a V8 in a Laredo trim back in 2011-13. So you could of had air suspension and QTII or QDII theoretically. The one way to tell is the rear diff. If you have QTII you have a 195mm differential ,if you have QDII you have a 230mm differential. All are made by the German company ZF. Both systems are good and utilize the same transfer case, with only difference being that QDII has the ELSD. QDII is better but smart driving and learning how to use the Select Terrain system is key. QTII will get you there it might just take some better driving and more patience. I'm on my second WK2 with QTII. I opted for that because I did NOT want the air suspension. I lifted my Jeep(Dobinsons Suspension) and for what I do it's perfect. I've done trails that my buddies have done in their PRO4X X-Terra & Tacoma TRD Pro. The WK2's capability drastically was improved with the new 8 speed ZF transmission. With a 44:1 crawl ratio on V6 models you can really get into some gnarly stuff. Choose a good line and lock into 4LO and these vehicle will surprise most people.

They did have some hesitation on snow and mud, compared to the QDII. I hear you about the instant response difference. What tires were these Jeeps running?

    The ELSD in the Quadradrive system operates like a fast-acting soft locker. It locks very quickly at very low speeds, unlike many other lsd's that only lock when you have both wheels turning before one starts to slip. Quadradrive ELSD is virtually instant engagement of the LSD.

    Thanks for a great video. From my experience with the QTII, no need for extra throttle ever. Extra throttle will lead you to lose control over your vehicle. If you started climbing at the right speed, and the BLD, QTII, kicks in, stay exactly on the same throttle. It would take between 1.5 to 4 seconds to pull you out of the situation, with less harm to the Jeep and more control to the driver.

    If I am not mistaken all jeeps (wk2) come with traction control TC, this feature breaks the slipping tire to allow the opposite tire to spin (because open diff) sometimes this is not enough and you need more power and TC will keep braking your tires, you need to turn off TC and accelerate while breaking (mildly) this way you force both tires to spin at the same times. I mostly use my hand break at half to force the two rear tires to spin at the same time. The clicking noises is when you enable 4lo and the TC gets disabled by the computer, then there is way to prevent slipping, but if you have QDII the ELSD gets activated and disabled To transfer power from one tire to other, that noise is normal. QT - capability to have AWD by adding a differential in the Transfer case QTII - AWD with LSD in the transfer case QD - LSD front and rear QDII - ELSD front and rear QL - Air suspension TC - only works on 4Hi or AWDm and uses the ABS computer to achieve power transfer. (LSD-limited slip differential) (ELSD- electric LSD) QD Quadrant drive, QT quadratrack, QL quadralift QDII clutches are controlled by a computer and cannot act as lockers, QD acts by centrifugal force, me in you have to accelerate for the clutch to engage. If I am mistaken please feel free to correct me.

    The WK ( WH in some markets ) Jeep Grand Cherokee Quadra drive 2 has front and rear electrically operated limited slip diffs and a center diff in the transfer case and low ratio so all the engine power can be directed to 1 wheel if necessary .

    Hello. The story I’m telling myself is that to keep the throttle on so the system can work as it’s supposed to, learning to use the left foot to apply brake pressure at same time as needed to modulate speed is just as important. When I’m trying to get over a tough obstacle, my instinct is to give it more throttle to try and power through instead of applying steady throttle to let the Quadra drive 2 do its thing. Then I end up using too much throttle and it is not a graceful entry or exit. Then one time in band camp….. I hit the accelerator instead of the brake and that almost turned into a disaster.

    Super helpful video! This totally helped me make my decision. One thing for people to think about if you are on the fence is aftermarket upgrades. There are tons of them that of high quality and not a ton of money. I am guessing you can lift a QTII limited and put a simple locker in for about 2k. Maybe less, who knows....

    Hi there. Really well made video showing the differences in 4x4 systems. I got a question: My used bought jeep did tend to drive to the right side. Today I did an alignment and the front left wheel wasn't aligned. So, you drive really bad roads up and down. Did you encounter any alignment issues?

    Both systems can direct more torque to the front or rear axles. Quadra Trac 2 uses brakes to get more torque to a specific wheel. Quadra Drive 2 uses an electronic slip differential to get more torque to a specific wheel.

    From what I can tell, if you have a low range button, you have the QD II system, the base model has the Selet-Trac, if you have a Neutral button its a Quadra-Drive I. Some models have the system written on the center console. Get the Quadra-Drive II if you can. The QD II is standard on Limited models of the older WK 2005-2010.
