DRIVE ON ANY TERRAIN
Not all 4x4s are created equal. Jeep® Brand vehicles are designed and tested in some of the most inhospitable locations on the planet so you can feel confident when driving in a rain or snow storm or when off-roading with like-minded friends. Choose an all-weather-capable Jeep Brand 4x4 system to master any terrain and help feed your passion for adventure.
MASTER THE MUCK
Driving in muddy conditions can be deceptive. You will need to get out and use a stick to check the depth of the mud or water. Jeep® Brand 4x4 vehicles have sealed electrical systems, a high air intake and available skid plates for additional undercarriage protection. To keep from spinning tires, experienced off-roaders often use a higher gear to control momentum and speed and let the tires’ tread do the work.
EVERYDAY TRACTION
Driving on paved roads can have its challenges as well: snow, heavy rain, black ice and hydroplaning can all tax your Jeep® Brand vehicle and 4x4 system. Thankfully, Jeep Brand 4x4 systems and robust suspensions are designed to help you tame these on-road hazards.
UNPAVED IS OFF-ROAD
Unpaved roads include gravel, forest service and logging roads. You can expect washboard roads and ruts that will test your vehicle’s suspension system when driving off-road. Gravel can act like ice in certain circumstances. That’s where Jeep® Brand systems with electronic brake differentials, traction control, electronic stability control and gas shocks can help you stay in control.
CONQUER SLICK CONDITIONS
Driving in a blizzard, snow storm or flurry can send shivers down your spine. When faced with snow, ice or sleet, you want a Jeep® Brand 4x4. Slick conditions demand improved traction and added attention from the driver. On-road stopping distances can be up to 10 times greater in slick conditions. A Jeep Brand 4x4 system combined with brake lock differential, antilock brakes and traction control will help to see you through.
REIGN IN THE ROCKS
The Jeep® Brand has built its reputation on the ability to go off-roading in some of the most remote locations on earth. Jeep vehicles offer true 4-Low modes, with super-tough suspensions, available tow hooks, available skid plates and more to help you go where others fear to tread.
READY FOR BEACH OR DUNE
Driving in sandy environments can be challenging. Thankfully, Jeep® Brand 4x4 vehicles are designed with high ground clearances to help keep your vehicle from getting stuck in soft sand. For better traction in sand, drop air pressure 10-12 pounds below normal pressure on conventional tires. (Return to normal pressure after use in these conditions.)
OUTSTANDING 4x4 TECHNOLOGY
It should come as no surprise that the Jeep® Brand is one of the world leaders in 4x4 technology—it’s the backbone of the brand. Our range of sophisticated 4x4 systems lets you find your own way up, down, through or around almost anything. You can trust the Jeep Brand with its 75-plus years of 4x4 mastery to help you tackle anything Mother Nature sends your way.
