Selec-Speed Control vs Hill-Descent Control (Solved)

[NewJLU2019]

Just a little chime into this. The 2.0 Turbo comes with Select-Speed Control.

Selec-Speed Control uses hill-ascent and hill-descent control to regulate vehicle speed when climbing up or down a slope. Drivers set a specific pace for the Jeep to automatically maintain, which allows them to solely focus on steering over, around, and between obstacles in the path.

The Gladiator Rubicon 3.6 does come with Select-Speed as pointed out.

My 2.0 Turbo does not have the E-Torque and I have Select-speed control.

My ‘21 JLURDiesel has Select Speed Control on window sticker (vehicle in-transit to me).

Except it can’t be solely based on eTorque since previous model year 2.0 turbos have had eTorque and I believe they still had Selec-Speed Control, didn’t they?

Now we just need window stickers for (1) a 2018-2020 JL with the non-eTorque 3.6 and (2) 2018-2020 JL with the eTorque 2.0turbo to see if they have Hill Descent or Selec Speed, and we will know 100% if eTorque is the culprit.

Here is 2.0 without eTorque and Hill Descent Control instead of Selec-Speed Control

As pointed out above @UPGRAYEDD here is just the main part of the article on how to use Selec-Speed mode.


Similar to cruise control, Selec-Speed offers three settings. You can turn it off completely, turn it on but not activate it, or activate and use it. Simply tap a dedicated button on the dashboard or the center console, depending on the Jeep model, to engage or disengage the system.

To put Selec-Speed into use, you must activate the four-wheel-drive (4WD) system and put it into low range (4L). If these are already active, you can start using the system on the fly as long as the Jeep is traveling five mph or less. You must keep the driver’s door closed while Selec-Speed is operational. And while you can engage Selec-Speed with your foot on the brake, once the system is active, it will no longer work if you apply pressure to the brake or the accelerator pedals.

To set a maximum speed, you tap the +/- button on the gear shift or, where applicable, the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. With Selec-Speed active, this action does not change transmission gears. Instead, it adjusts vehicle speed.

According to Jeep, choosing the first “gear” will set the speed to 0.6 mph. Choosing the second sets the speed to 1.2 mph. Third pegs the rate at 1.8 mph. After that, the system adds 0.6 mph with each additional setting before topping out at five mph for eighth gear.

After choosing a preferred speed, the driver can shift out of park, release the brake pedal, and the Jeep will start moving at the pre-determined speed. At any time, the driver can override Selec-Speed by applying the brake or pushing on the accelerator pedal.

Is that the 2021 Rubicon and was it ordered or purchased off lot?

The new 2021 Rubicons have the Selec-speed mode.

Not just Rubicon

This is very interesting. So we are only sure about the 2021 models with the 2.0 having selec-speed. The previous year 2.0s seem to have hill descent....
This gets more complicated by the day!

Yes thank you, we know how both systems work, this thread isn’t about how they function.

The new 2021 Rubicons have the Selec-speed mode.

Only the 2021 2.0s do.
2021s (all trims) that have the 3.6 do not have selec-speed, they only have hill-descent.

The only 2021 3.6 that has selec-speed that we know of is the Gladiator.

Sure, I just placed a short read as a reference if anyone was interested without having to look around.

So is the solution that it has to be a 2021? My 2020 2.0L has hill descent control only.

That’s the way it looks, at this time..... ?
