The Ford Explorer Transfer Case directs engine power to both front and rear axles to give the SUV the ability to shift between the pavement and rugged ground with confidence. The Transfer Case in early Explorer models was part-time, and the driver had to use a lever to control it. It allowed 2WD for dry roads and selectable 4WD high or low ranges. The low range multiplied torque to help the Explorer climb at a slow speed or through deep snow. As the Explorer lineup matured, the lever was swapped out for electronic dash switches and a small electric motor to make for simpler shifts. However, the Transfer Case remains heavy-duty with either gears or chains sending power along both driveshafts. The later editions of Ford and current Explorers utilize a full-time 4WD or AWD style Transfer Case. This is a system that uses a center differential or viscous coupling to automatically split torque between front and rear shafts, which can spin at different rates to prevent binding on tight turns. Even though they are strong, the chains, gears, and shaft connections in a Ford unit's Transfer Case can wear out, resulting in hard engagement, popping noises, or total loss of drive. Ford owners are warned to act before this becomes a major problem that leaves them stranded.
