This includes three 4×4 systems (Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II), the Quadra-Lift air suspension system, and the Selec-Terrain traction management system. The only difference between the two Wagoneers is that that the Grand Wagoneer offers the Quadra-Lift suspension and 4×4 systems as standard equipment.
