You can expect to Go Anywhere, Do Anything™ in a Jeep® vehicle thanks to over 67 years of tried and true off-road craftsmanship. Commander has two available Trail Rated® 4WD systems, in addition to the standard two-wheel-drive system.
There are three capable 4WD systems to choose from: Quadra-Drive® II, Quadra-Trac II® and Quadra-Trac I®.
Front and rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differentials (ELSDs) in Quadra-Drive® II team up with the NV245 active transfer case and its electronically controlled clutch pack for awesome traction management.
You'll also find a skid plate group, telescoping rear driveshaft that adjusts for small changes during normal suspension travel and a newly located gas tank that allows the tire to be mounted under the vehicle for added versatility.

Skid Plates

Skid plates protect your investment from off-road rocks and on-road debris. Front suspension and drivetrain plates are constructed of 3-mm-thick stamped steel. The front suspension skid plate protects the front axle, steering gear and engine oil pan; a transfer case skid plate protects the transfer case and the fuel tank skid plate enhances the performance of the fuel tank brush guard.

Electronic Limited-Slip Differentials (ELSDs)
- /shared/2009/commander/capability/undercarriage/primary/undercarriage_story/solidaxles.jpg
The industry-exclusive ELSD units work in tandem with the Quadra-Drive® II 4WD transfer case to automatically send up to 100% of available torque to any wheel, front or rear, to help maintain control and traction. On 4WD systems without ELSD a Brake Traction Control system automatically transfers torque from one wheel to another on the same axle when wheel slip conditions are detected.
