The 4A mode seems great, but I bought my '19 2nd Gen Raptor because it had a 4A mode and I had nothing but problems with it, the hubs kept grenading themselves and it wouldn't go in to any 4 wheel mode and would make whirring/grinding noises whenever you drove it, even in 2WD. And getting the dealer to track down the problems and fix them properly was always a pain. When I bought my Gladiator, I knew about the new SelecTrac Gladiator but when I saw pictures of the wimpy CVs verses the big beefy knuckles of the standard system and thought back to the problems I had with my Raptor, I just decided to go with the regular system. Yes, it sucks when it's patchy ice/snow with dry pavement, which we get a lot around here, but I just leave it in 2WD and have no problem. The Gladiator has a surprising amount of grip even in 2WD, especially with a little bit of a load in the back.
I don't regret my decision at all. We've had one of the worst winters we've had in 25 years here and the Jeep has been a trooper through everything I've thrown at it, and I don't regret not having a 4A mode.
