Most trims can be outfitted in either 2- or 4-wheel drive, while the SRT and Trackhawk utilize the Quadra-Trac Active On-Demand all-wheel drive. All models are paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Independent front and multi-link rear suspension systems and a unibody structure have made the Grand Cherokee's frame very rigid.
