DRIVE WORK - EXCLUDING:
RAPTOR
Using the Electronic Shift On theFly System (If Equipped)
This four-wheel drive system utilizes a2-speed Electronic Shift On the Fly (ESOF)transfer case which is also known as apart-time system. This system offers thedriver two-wheel drive high, four-wheeldrive high, and four-wheel drive low asavailable modes of operation. When eitherfour-wheel drive high or four-wheel drivelow are selected, the system providesmechanically locked four-wheel drivepower to both the front and rear wheelsfor use in off-road or slippery conditionssuch as deep snow, sand or mud. Selectingfour-wheel drive low also providesadditional gearing for increased torquemultiplication for conditions like deepsand, steep slopes, or pulling heavyobjects. Additionally, the system is capableof recreational flat towing by putting thetransfer case into neutral (N). SeeRecreationally Towing Your Vehicle(page 485).
There is further information on driving inunique driving conditions. See Off-RoadDriving (page 466).
Using the 2-Speed AutomaticFour-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
