New Jeep Commercial
 
Has anyone seen the new jeep commercial where you see a Jeep parked with one
front wheel on a huge rock? A woman comes by and asks the guy if he's
leaving. then she parks her Jeep on the rock. My question is do the new
Jeeps have a limited slip front diff? The right front wheel is off the
ground and does not spin.

If it did have limited slip/lockers, both front wheels would spin in
the same direction. An open diff would make it spin faster.
Where a brake based LSD would stop the free wheel, but I didn't think
the Rubi had that type of LSD.

I suspect that was done with rearwheel drive only.

You do know that fake rock hides a ramp, right? :)

It could have done that with Quadradrive.

It's a Rubi. Don't they lock front and rear?
