So is this the usual European term for this? In the US you might hear "selectable 4 wheel drive", but the most common term is "part time four wheel drive", as opposed to "full time four wheel drive", which is like Audi Quattro, with both axles being driven all the time. The third option is "all-wheel drive", which usually denotes a car that is mostly front or rear wheel drive, but which can drive the other axle to various degrees when the primary drive axle starts to slip. It appears to be common to refer to four-wheel drive as "all wheel drive". But this is the third or fourth time I've seen "switchable" four wheel drive in the last couple of days. I thought it was a mistaken word selection at first, but now I wonder.
Other than that, this is a better description of the Willys than is on the WIllys page itself. Although I'm not clear when you talk about a "crawler" gear if you are referring to a normal "low-range" which lowers all of the gears by adding another ratio in (the opposite of an overdrive), or if you mean an actual very low gear before first gear. The low-range is the common thing today and is more useful, but I don't want to "correct" it, not being sure.
