Just something that I've been wondering since I first heard about the FAD on current Jeeps. When did the Center Axle Disconnect (CAD) become the Front Axle Disconnect (FAD)? Years ago it was common on some vehicles to have either auto hubs or CAD. Now everyone talks about FAD. Best I can tell is CAD and FAD are the same thing. And no, I don't believe FAD is more descriptive. CAD has always referred to the front axle, and I can't think of any vehicle that has had rear CAD. While FAD clarity comes from describing the front axle, CAD clarity is the method of disconnecting at the center of the axle--versus at the hubs.
