I recently bought a 2015 Rubicon. I know you can shift from 2WD into 4WD high up to 50mph but was wondering how fast you can drive while in 4WD. I can't seem to find any info on this.
Thanks,

Light snow...etc etc.If you can go 50mph, there should be no need for 4wd. Unless you are out at like King of Hammers desert speed racing maybe....
I've gotten above 100...but yeah...only in 2WD....and just once.No faster than 99mph I believe that is all the electronic governor will allow for a top speed. No way in hell is try it in 4hi. I did it in 2wd cause I'm crazy like that.
You will find out.............................immediately upon spinning out of control, and landing in the ditch.....the best place for dumbazzes!I recently bought a 2015 Rubicon.

Light snow, you dont need 4wd lolLight snow...etc etc.
I wouldn't stress about it... we regularly drive at speeds up to around 70mph in 4wd on our 1 ton dodges. Realistically if you're going much faster you probably don't need 4wdI recently bought a 2015 Rubicon.

I hear a guy was clocked at 137mph this year!If you can go 50mph, there should be no need for 4wd. Unless you are out at like King of Hammers desert speed racing maybe....
What he said ^. If you are in conditions which require 4WD, then you shouldn't be driving fast enough to find out in a standard vehicle.I wouldn't stress about it... we regularly drive at speeds up to around 70mph in 4wd on our 1 ton dodges.

yes, but considering we constantly have people asking "why does my jeep drive funny when I am on dry pavement in 4wd" we feel obligated to inform.#20 odamo

I don't think he's asking for all the varied opinions of how fast you think he should be going in 4 hi based on conditions or being told that if you can go faster than 55 you don't need to be in 4hi.
The only correct answer is: You can go as fast as your vehicle will go. period. :doh2:

Appreciating that I know why our Jeeps crab walk around paved corners when in 4HI and a locker is locked or the Jeep is equipped with an LSD, but why does a Rubi in 4HI, with supposedly open diffs and transfer case, crab walk? Diff/driveline friction?yes, but considering we constantly have people asking "why does my jeep drive funny when I am on dry pavement in 4wd" we feel obligated to inform.
