Key Terms

3 terms

beadlock-capable technical

"17-inch beadlock-capable wheels complete the integrated package."

A wheel described as beadlock-capable has a rim design that can accept a removable beadlock ring and fasteners so the tire’s bead can be mechanically clamped to the wheel. The clamp ring bolts to a dedicated flange or bolt pattern on the outer rim, preventing the tire bead from unseating at very low tire pressures (commonly used for off‑road or competition use); being "capable" means the wheel is prepared for a beadlock system but does not itself include the ring or necessarily meet the same load/warranty or road‑use rules as a factory‑installed beadlock.

final-drive ratio technical

"A 1-inch factory suspension lift, 4.56 final-drive ratio"

The final-drive ratio is the gear ratio in a vehicle's driveline that links the transmission output shaft to the drive wheels, usually formed by the ring-and-pinion in the differential. It equals the number of revolutions the driveshaft makes for one revolution of the wheels; a numerically higher final-drive ratio multiplies torque to the wheels and reduces wheel speed for a given engine speed, while a numerically lower ratio does the opposite.

transfer case technical

"Full-time 4:1 transfer case"

A transfer case is a mechanical gearbox in four-wheel- and all-wheel-drive vehicles that splits engine power between the front and rear axles and, when needed, changes gear ratios for low-speed torque. For investors, it matters because demand, pricing and recalls for transfer cases affect automakers’ production costs, supplier revenue and vehicle performance — similar to how a transmission determines how a car delivers power to the road.
