Smooth & efficient
eight-speed transmission

The exceptional, new eight-speed automatic transmission provides better fuel economy⁺, quicker acceleration and smoother shifting. Engage the new slapstick shifter into Sport or Drive Mode, and you have full control of the upshifts with the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifter controls. It also allows for a 45% improved crawl ratio of 44.1:1 to aid in off-roading (when equipped with a two-speed transfer case).

• Quadra-Trac^® I is fully automatic, with a single-speed transfer case offering a continual balance of torque distribution. If wheel slippage occurs, the system seamlessly transfers torque to the axle to give you year-round traction.
• Quadra-Trac^® II offers all-speed traction control to help keep you on course. If wheel slippage occurs, torque can be routed to the axle with the most traction. Low-range provides rock-crawling prowess.
• Quadra-Drive^® II gives you class-leading capability with its Electronic Limited-slip Differential (ELSD), which transfers up to 100% of torque to the wheel(s) if needed, to give you year-round traction on wet or dry surfaces.

Help on the hills

The new Selec-Speed^™ Control, which includes both Hill Ascent Control and Hill Descent Control, assists drivers with climbing and ascending steep grades. Hill Descent Control helps you monitor throttle, speed and braking when you're travelling down the hill and need it most. The Hill Start Assist keeps your brakes applied after you’ve removed your foot from the brake; to give you time to accelerate — without rollback.
