You can run 4X Auto in any condition. It is an “all wheel drive mode” designed to be run in bad weather.
It's more of a "4x4 on demand" than an "AWD mode". There is a marked difference between the 2.
There is as much difference in AWD between manufacturers as there is here. Either or, it is close enough for this discussion.
Wait, you can lock the rear in 4 hi when off road + is engaged?
Yep, 4H can lock rear and disengage Rubicon swaybar with off road + set (up to 18MPH for swaybar, not messed with the locker yet in 4H personally). And in 4L, with off road +, you start in 1st in the auto vs 2nd without off road +. There's other traction control things and whatnot engaged in both 4H and 4L with off road + turned on.
Activates the driver's side butt pucker massager.So when I ordered I knew what I was getting into with lockers, sway bar disconnect, and the 4wd I chose. But what on earth is this off road plus button?
?correct answer!
Loved this is spinal tap! My wife doesn't get the humor and thinks it's stupid... It's a classic! Nice reference
Do you have 4H auto? If I have it in 4H auto I notice my shift points are higher, shifts are quicker, and throttle response seems to be more responsive. That's on the road.
That's very odd. Being in 4 auto shouldn't do any of that, it should be the same over both 4wd modes. In saying that, who knows with all the electronic crap we have. I don't think I've ever tried Off Road + in 4Auto either as a matter of fact.
I believe it does, however I can only speak clearly on 4H auto. I do use off road + while offroading in 4L but with the low gearing I don't think it is as noticeable.
