not enough snow to warrant 4H/ Engage 4H without binding.
I can see it's advantage if predominantly pavement is the road of travel but better than 50% of my travel is Dirt Gravel roads.
Welcome to WV.
Country roads take me home.? I really honestly dont have issues at all with the regular Transfer case .

Hmm now I am wondering ? cause mine in low is enormously slow
Rock Trac is standard in Rubicon. The 4:1. The Selec Trac is optional. You get the 4:1 low transfer case both ways.

Rock Trac is standard in Rubicon
Okay so what does it do exactly ? I notice while in 4-low that the wheels don't jerk like it does in High as bad or at all.

4 turns of input = 1 turn of output ( wheels )

All other trims are 2.7:1.

Selec-trac uses CV shafts on the ends of the front axle instead of u-joints.

Below is how the full time Selec-Trac is listed for RUBICON -
It's still Rock-Trac, but called "full time" in the case of the full time t-case.

This is our Rubicon with full-time transfer case->

They are all Rock-Trac in Rubicon, but one is full time, the other is part time.

Pretty damned easy to tell - look at the shift knob!!
And when in auto ("full time"), the cluster shows it in GREEN

This is Selec-Trac on non-Rubicon, or Rock-Trac full-time in Rubicon.

Here is the non-Rubicon version of the full-time (auto) transfer case, called Selec-Trac in a non-Rubicon ->

In the same post for comparison - this is the full-time (automatic) transfer case in a Rubicon ->

The knobs will have the same positions, you use the lever and shift it the same, the automatic part (full-time part) works the same. But they are geared differently, etc.

And this is a non-Rubicon Command-Trac standard part time only transfer case -

For the Rubicon without the full-time transfer case, it would simply say "Rock-Trac" without the "full time" part after it.

Kind of like my Mojave has 'Sand Sliders'...according to Jeep. Literally the Rubicon rock sliders.

The only actual difference between Rock Trac and Command Trac is the gearset. Marketing nonsense. Select Trac 4A and Rock Trac 4A = the gearset.

Naw, come on now, it's pretty obvious there's a lot more different! I mean, one is HD and the other isn't. ?

My truck has an ordinary boring Selec-Trac while my wife's Wrangler has a HD version.
Crap, now I have transfer-case envy of my wife's Jeep.

Build sheets will always list the part time transfer case in the equipment list, then in the options, it would list the Rock-Trac full-time if so equipped.
The knob is the tell. Doesn't matter what else is seen. The knob (or the axle joints)

Anyway, it's *always part-time in the standard equipment.
If it has the full time transfer case, it's in the options list either later in the build sheet or the other column of the window sticker.

My full time transfer case is listed under OPTIONS or OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT on the window sticker and build sheet.

(* the Selec-Trac full time or Rock-Trac full time are STANDARD EQUIPMENT with the 4xe PHEV)
