Re: Command-trac 4Hi usage questions
My parents just bought a 2005 Liberty Limited. It was advertised that it
came with Command-Trac.
It actually has Selec-Trac. (2WD-4PARTTIME-4FULLTIME-N-4LO)
Or did Jeep set up Selec-Trac differently with the Libbys?
So check it out to see what it really has! Maybe you will also get lucky!

Re: Command-trac 4Hi usage questions
If you got selectrac with paying extra for it, then you really got a
deal. It has been my experience that most salespeople selling jeeps
don't know the difference themselves and will tell you that it is ok to
use command trac fulltime wet or dry. For myself after having
selectrac I would never go back to command trac.
