It's nice to know that my compass can tackle some hardcore as well as everyday runs to the office. Many of you probably aren't aware but the compass has all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. I guess it's a Jeep thing
Exactly what I was thinking everyone only shows top-of-the-line systems never just the basic ones some of us can't afford top-of-the-line or maybe don't want top-of-the-line cuz we don't go off road too much so thanks
Got QT1 on my 2019 Altitude and its been hard looking for any videos with that system in use while off-roading. CLEARLY it shows that it can get the job done. I mean im not planning on going hardcore, but it eases my mind knowing i can do some moderate off-roading and start planning on going on some areas in the high deserts, and Moab later this year. Thank you for showing this drive system in action. I really appreciate it.
Same system on my Cherokee that's 10yrs older than yours. You'd think they'd do away with it cause it sucks off-road. Good for driving on snow and that's it
The WJ is not quadra drive II, It's quadra drive I. It's still a great system, the best limited slip setup around imo, but it cannot fully lock like the rear differential in the wk2 quadra drive II.
Hold on here. A...look at shifter to see if its QD1 or QD2. It was offered. QD2 will have rotor pumps in both axles AND transfer case AND will become true 4wd. No brake action hoopla....just power to wheels. HTH 😎
Quadra drive II was never offered in the wj. First year of QDII was 2005. The georotor pump type limited slip was what QDI used. QDII uses clutch packs in the differential/s. You are thinking of quadra TRACK II that was available in the WJ and uses brakes fir traction control.
Looks like the Laredo had a lift and oversize tires. Nice to see A QT1 and QT2 together. The 2 systems have the same brake lock diffs AFAIK so they shouldn't be that different mechanically. you don't get the LSD till you have QD on the WK2's .The low range and better control over the traction control does make a difference though . They all made it though. Great Video!
I have a 2018 quadra trac 1 and a 2002 WJ with quadra drive . My 2018 is bone stock ,tires and all I don't put it through what I would do to the WJ but stock tires and all I pushed a Subaru ( they suck) up a steep hill in a foot of snow with absolutely no problem, my WJ has 4 inches of lift and 30 inch tires that goes off road on road wherever I want it to go no problem . In my opinion the WJ is the better off road choice
I like Quadra drive in 4-low. W/ ARB lockers front and rear and IRO Rocklink 6" on 35s. Worked good until I shaped in a 242hd. Now it works amazing. Go WJ.
If you have arb lockers, there is no point in starting with quadra drive 1 or 2, as the only difference between quadra drive and quadra track is the differentials, which you replace when you install an arb locker...
@@kirksachs I think you're mistaken. The center diff is essentially locked with QD2 in 4Lo, open in QT1 (which does not have 4Lo)...it sucks, I have one lol

@@dentondunn4346 I briefly looked into swapping QT for QD on my WK...it looked more complicated than I could handle. I ended up installing a lunchbox locker on the rear diff. That increased its capability, but it still struggled during climbs when the front end lost traction. As soon as the front wheels slip, no torque went to the rear axle and I would get bogged up front if I stayed on the throttle too long. Ultimately, I sold the Jeep and got an Xterra with a true four-wheel-drive drivetrain. It's night & day how much more capable this unit is, even with open diffs.
My 99 WJ has the 4.0 with the Quadra Trac system with the NP147 transfer case. From what I understand it’s the same transfer case that goes in the 06 Compass. It’s a beast, it will climb like a Billy Goat
The ELSD's in my 08 overland never engaged as smoothly as the vari loks in my 03 overland, however they kick in much quicker, both great systems for sure and they do adapt to different types of off roaders
Finally I’ve been scared to take my 2020 QT1 off road because everyone tells me it’s basically an AWD system not good off road. I’d really like hear someone do a review on sand (beach) I’d like to go fishing and drive on the beach
QT1 has been pretty capable off road. Sometimes you need a little momentum to get over obstacles but I think you should be fine on the beach as long as you air down your tires. My buddy usually runs about 18-20 psi for sand and he’s been fine. He also carries max trax just in case. Cheers!
All wheel drive system stills works very very differently than the QT1. Only similarity is they’re both in all the time. Aside from that. Very different.
The Quadra Trac 1 will be sufficient for 90 percent + of the people out there, you only need the more advanced systems if you do real serious off roading.
I got a 17 limited with the QTII. Its plenty capable for 95% of any off roading the average jeep buyer is going to do. Is it a wrangler? Absolutly not but it wheels better then my 97 Expedition did (which surprised me) and handles shitty (deep snow, ice etc) roads better too
AwD is not 4 wheel drive , JEEP does not make AWD , full time 4wheel drive is the jeep constantly in 4 H , JEEP was the first to develop it in 1963 on our ancestor the Wagoner, also was on our grandfather the 1975 Cherokee Chief. ✌🦆

That's a great video... good example of the 4x4 system differences. I'd be curious to see the difference between a pre 2011 QD2 (like in the vid) and a 2012 or later QD2. As I'm sure you know jeep stopped using the ELSD diffs for the front axle after 2011 instead opting for a BTC (BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL) system. Alot of people (myself included) were disappointed as we think the older "fully lockable" system is superior. I have a 2014 5.7 summit with QD2 and have spent alot of time playing around in different modes on different surfaces. You can get the system to provide power to all 4 wheels at once but you have to drive very aggressively and it will not stay "locked" for long... a few seconds usually. Here is a quick video of mine in the snow... you can see one front wheel spinning out alot before it transfers power.ruclips.net/video/L2V8WTI0sBA/видео.html

Anything serious you are going to need 4L , but up to moderate QD1 will get you through decent Mudd and pretty deep holes. ✌️
The Trac 1 is good if you are just driving in snow and rain, not doing heavy off roading, it is essentially an AWD system.
