I've used four wheel drive LOW a few times

( the surface has to have " give " and the speed is limited )

* in the winter time to drive out of a snow filled ditch along a highway , to

drive out of a muddy road when I got stuck , and to drive up a hill when I

had to go offroad ( in the last 18 + years )

What is the difference between four wheel high and low?

Four wheel drive high is used for everyday purposes such as driving on a snow packed road or light off roading. Four wheel drive low is for special circumstances such as getting out of deep mud and snow or towing a trailer up a steep hill. Four wheel drive should never be used on bare, dry pavement. Use two wheel drive in this circumstance. You will completely ruin your transfer case by using four wheel drive on pavement.

What is low range four wheel drive?

My 1995 Ford Explorer XLT has the Control-Trac 4X4 system . It has settings for 2 wheel drive , automatic 4 wheel drive , and a low range 4 wheel drive ( because it has a 2 speed transfer case ) The low range four wheel drive has power going to all 4 wheels equally and is only used where the tires have " give " such as gravel or off road because the speed is limited to slower speeds ( I think mine is limited to 35 MPH in 4X4 LOW )
