The transfer case ensures power is distributed evenly to all the wheels through the front and rear axles. Different configurations on the transfer case to handle different terrains with other vehicles, such as all-wheel drive vehicles having a locked transfer case. In contrast, those that alternate between four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive have a transfer case that can either transfer power to all wheels or rear wheels either by a shift like manual or electrically controlled shift configuration.
