If you've got it: you'll notice that it has a "neutral" position. That's where things stop spinning, and the magic happens!

Bob the Jeep Cherokee doesn't have a true transfer case as we know it. My understanding the magic actually happens at the front and rear differentials. Basically the Cherokee is a front wheel drive set up and the front differential transfers the power through the drive line to the rear differential. The front and rear differentials are two speed and are basically put into neutral to flat tow.
Active Drive 2 is the only Cherokee 4X4 system that can be flat towed. The Trailhawk models besides having low 4 have a differential low locker as well.
A far cry from the Jeep 4x4 systems I have had for the past 20 years with a true 2 speed transfer case, but knock wood it has worked flawlessly for us so far.
