How Are Jeep's 4X4 Systems Perfect For Driving on Long Island?

There's a reason that Jeep's slogan is "Go anywhere. Do anything."

Jeeps are designed with the most extreme conditions and locations in mind, so anyone who buys a Jeep on Long Island can feel equally confident on or off road. Likewise, they will be prepared in perfect weather, or in rain, snow, or sleet.

All-weather capability is one of the key elements that makes a Jeep a Jeep.

Sealed electrical systems, an air intake placed high on the body, and sturdy undercarriage protection give the Jeep 4x4 system the ability to perform in muddy conditions, preventing spinning tires and loss of traction. People off-roading in Jeeps are advised to try using a higher gear to gain control in the mud at a lower speed, allowing the tires to grip effectively rather than attempting to use momentum. This allows the Jeep 4x4 system to work best. As muddy conditions can be hard to assess accurately, it may be best to check water or mud depth using a stick before driving through.

 

Similar to driving in mud, a high gear at a slower speed may be the best strategy for allowing the tires to grip with maximum efficacy in snow. Drivers should note that stopping can take 10 times as long in slick conditions. It is vital to make sure your tires are properly inflated, and equally important that your tire's treads are in good shape. With Jeep's brake lock differential, antilock brakes, and traction control, the Jeep 4x4 system can contend with slick driving conditions. When it comes to handling winter roadways, you can be confident driving a Jeep on Long Island.

People often overlook paved roads when thinking of challenging driving conditions. However, roads can present their own set of challenges. Black ice, hydroplaning, snow, potholes, and heavy rain are all conditions you may come across while driving a Jeep on Long Island.

Jeep is renowned for its off-roading ability. Driving a Jeep on Long Island presents numerous opportunities to drive in rocky conditions. Jeep's optimal clearance, resilient suspension, tow hooks, and heavy-duty skid-plates, along with the ability to move forward with each wheel on a different vertical plane, make adaptability a key benefit for anyone driving a Jeep on Long Island or anywhere else.

 

In the coastal area that we live in, a different set of abilities can be required. Driving a Jeep on Long Island presents ample opportunity to drive on sand. A nice benefit to Jeep's high ground clearance is that it helps keep you from getting stuck in soft sand. On conventional tires, temporarily dropping air pressure 10-12 pounds below normal provides you with the edge to handle the sandy ground you may encounter while driving your Jeep in Long Island.
