Power shared

Both axles are illustrated helping acceleration through the mechanical transfer case and driveshafts. Quadra-Trac I is single speed: it has no 4WD LOW.

How this works

Qualitative power flow and wheel states; no prediction of grip, braking or traction-control timing. No driver-operated axle lockers. Quadra-Trac I is single-speed. LOW is unavailable on this build; choose Summit for the modeled two-speed system. Four-wheel LOW is for low-speed loose surfaces; follow the owner manual’s shift procedure. A mode selection never adds missing hardware.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Lowest listed trim price in each guide, before destination, options, taxes and fees. Cab and body styles can differ.
  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Best published combined rating found in each guide, including regular hybrids. Plug-in ratings and inferred matches are excluded.
