Is the Jeep Patriot four-wheel drive?

4x2 Jeep Patriots are rear-wheel drive, but 4x4 models are more complicated. Base model Jeep Patriots run in Front Wheel Drive mostly, only sending up to 30% of power to the rear wheels when wheel slip at the front is detected, which means they're technically AWD not 4x4. The optional CVT-only Freedom Drive II drive system allows an electronically lockable set-up and is a proper 4x4 set-up.
