thank you for this. I've owned my JT Rubicon for 2 months now, but because of everything being closed, have gotten very little driving done, and I have been trying to figure out "What the heck does this duck button do?!" I can't wait to finally get this thing on some trails in the future, but right now just hunkering down and staying safe.
People don't realize that the Cherokee Trailhawk has had this since 2014 but anyway I think it's a good thing and I think it's a great way to test your tires and your tire pressures because you can make changes and then use the select speed as a control for the experiment because it's computer controlled
I just purchased a 2024 Willys Gladiator, that has the Locking Rear Differential, Off Road Plus, (regular cruise control, adaptive cruise control both on the steering wheel) their's a button down on the low right that I think is Select Speed Control, but I really don't know at this point how and when to engage it, or if that's it. You could have taken a second to show the actual button , and does it work only in 4 low range?
@@jamesdumas6602 You can see the button in the video a little but this is what it looks like www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/what-the-hell-is-this-stock-button-which-looks-like-a-cruise-control-on-top-of-a-jeep-in-the-snow-update-selec-speed-control-ssc.36575/
May I know the steps of activating the cruise control for up hills. Do I need to put it on H / L gears, do I need to push on off road+ etc.. Or only by adjusting the speed from cruise button? Thanks
You guys clearly didn’t watch the video all the way. Go to 2:06 it’s simple and shown. Push the button that I show, then go to manual on the trans to adjust. That’s all there is
@@BuiltForDirt thank you for the answer. First you talk about the cruise control + but the 2:06 refer to down cobtrol. I assume you mean that the cruise control function operate the same, control the speed with the manual shift. I will try it today.
Finally tried mine out, and was surprised at the noise I was hearing. Sounds scary to be honest, but I guess that's the abs doing it's thing. Anyone else freaked out by the noise?
So my question about this is, is it like the Tacoma where if you get it stuck in sand and let the crawl control go for a couple minutes will it dig itself out?
seems like its a transmission for people who don't appreciate the technical aspect of off-roading. Kinda like for lazy people. I've watched videos of guys who do much more technical downhill maneuvers with a manual transmission. Now that's hard core. I think I would rather get the Selec-trac transmission over the selec-speed transmission. It almost makes me feel wimpy that I don't get a manual transmission. The selec-speed transmission seems more fitting for business purposes, like a construction worker or surveyor. Doesn't seem fitting for the off-road enthusiast. Pretty soon machines and electronics will be doing everything for a guy. Taking the fun out of everything, and leaving you feeling less satisfied. Oh well. Great demonstration video though. Appreciate that. But I would rather do the work myself, and get the satisfaction of knowing I can or can't.
@@k4osKiller exactly. Own two jeeps but sell and appreciate toyota .if you get stuck and need out just turn it on and it will slowly turn and stop each wheel searching for and holding traction until it digs you out . Speed is always your friend in mud though and climbing hills I do the same .if my tires start slipping I want the momentum to keep me going thru it lol
What are your thoughts on the Selec Speed Control feature?
Just got my Gladiator a couple weeks ago, got the sport. Tried out this feature and it's pretty amazing even on a pretty steep incline.
Awesome video. Systematic, clear, explained each detail. Live demo of each explanation. Every video should be like this.
Cheers for the refresher dude, I’ll give it a whirl today… almost forgot about this feature, never used it before. Go Gladiator!
Glad I was able to help! Let me know how it goes!

I'm just noticing the anchor tattoo and wanted to say hooyah shipmate.
Well Done! Great demo, straight to the point!
Thanks Mike!

@@BuiltForDirt I rewatched your video, now I have to go find a hill (that's the hard part, I live in Florida).
Looks really good mate, hard to tell with out driving it my self... so if you could just send it over to Australia that would be great
Haha I will get right on that!
May I know the steps of activating the cruise control for up hills. Do I need to put it on H / L gears, do I need to push on off road+ etc..
Or only by adjusting the speed from cruise button?
Thanks
I show you how to do it in the video. It works for both up and down hills
@@BuiltForDirt Thanks, but it is not clear in this same video. No step-by-step show.
Exactly, not clear. No step by step activation guidance

Does it wear out the breaks quick?
What happens if you manual override by hitting the gas or brake, does it shut off or just go back to whatever it was set at and carry on?
I think it goes back to what it was set at but I would have to double check to be sure
Finally tried mine out, and was surprised at the noise I was hearing. Sounds scary to be honest, but I guess that's the abs doing it's thing. Anyone else freaked out by the noise?
Yeah I was surprised by the noise at first too. It’s annoying but nothing wrong with it
It seems like the brakes are locked and powering through them. I don’t use it, if it’s wearing my brakes out unnecessarily !
I wonder how well this works on ice covered hill descent.
Great content!!
Thanks!
Do they have that feature in the 6 speed manual?
I just looked it up and they are claiming yes
@@BuiltForDirt Excellent!!
Good Job 👍
Thanks for watching
So my question about this is, is it like the Tacoma where if you get it stuck in sand and let the crawl control go for a couple minutes will it dig itself out?
Yeah it’s exactly the same thing
It's not
Now I know how to use it ha ha!
After I watched this I went to the same hill just to try it out.
...you had me at taylor swift LOL

Seems much quieter than Tacoma’s crawl control
I haven't seen the Tacoma's crawl control in person before. Why is it so loud?
That's because the crawl control uses ABS and actually will get you out of sand, it's made to unbury you. Selec speed will just dig you deeper

We should link up
I thought that was only for hill descent
It works great for up hill as well
@@BuiltForDirt now I'm going to go have to find a hill lol. I had this thing for 3 years now and didn't even know that, thank you.
have you done it crawling up a rock? tnx
@@archietamayo76 Yes it works well!
Good video. Crappy hat.
