FAD gone on 2023 Rubicon?

[scinoakville]

Just picked up my 2023 Rubicon unlimited and noticed FAD is not there. Seems Jeep removed this and used single piece axle on passenger side. Does anyone else see this? What about other trims?

Do you have full time AWD?

I wonder if it is indeed a one-piece shaft or is it the FAD delete kit that has a very heavy-duty collar connecting both shafts.

The 392 Wrangler, being full-time 4 wheel drive, does not have the electronically/computer controlled collar FAD system in front axle.

She has 3.6 etorque with auto 4WD option, but not 392.

... auto 4WD option...

^ This is why.

Edit: 4H Auto transfer case without 2H, will have the FAD deleted.

I have auto 4wd and a FAD.

The FAD is removed with the 4AUTO option where you do not have a 2H option.

You likely have a 2H option.

The answer should be clarified like this.

I was under the impression only 392s are like that. This person has the 3.6, 4 auto and no FAD. I have a 2.0, 4 auto and a FAD.

Full time AWD in non-392's is a $900 option.

Eventually you will grow to hate your auto transfercase , unless you never use your Jeep off road .
