A two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio, and heavy-duty third-generation Dana 44 front and rear axles with a 3.73 rear axle ratio all come with the Command-Trac 4x4 system. Available for the Sport and Overland models is a Trak-Lok limited-slip rear differential that provides extra torque and grip during low-traction situations.

The Gladiator Rubicon model uses a Rock-Trac 4x4 system featuring a heavy-duty third-generation Dana 44 front and rear axles with a "4LO" ratio of 4:1. Tru-Lok locking differentials and a 4.10 front and rear axle ratio come standard. Rubicon models equipped with the standard six-speed manual transmission receive an impressive crawl ratio of 84.2:1 while models equipped with the eight-speed automatic transmission receive a crawl ratio of 77.2:1.

The Rubicon model also receives off-road ready 33-inch tires, rear steel heavy-duty off-road bumper, and an available front steel winch-ready bumper with removable end caps.
