There are nearly 4 million miles of roads in the United States, and Bravada knows how
to use them all. With its unique SmartTrak system, extraordinary ride and handling, and
exceptional interior comforts, Bravada is designed for people who use roads. You may
not need to travel all 4 million miles, but Bravada may make you want to.
SmartTrak System
Most vehicles make you match wits with the road, and, unfortunately for you and your
vehicle, the road usually wins. Bravada's SmartTrak system, however, reacts to the road,
to help give you additional control, confidence, and helps keep the road from getting the
best of you.
The SmartTrak road management system combines automatic all-wheel drive and anti-lock
brakes. The system is always "on." And so quiet you never know it's there until
you need it.
There are no switches to flip, knobs to turn or levers to pull-- and an unexpected
slippery spot never catches a Bravada driver without four-wheel traction. It's
standard equipment, including a locking rear differential.
The Bravada is equipped with a new electronic active transfer case that operates in an
"all-wheel drive standby" mode. Only the rear wheels are powered in normal
conditions, with power applied to the front wheels whenever it's needed. The transfer is
automatic and instantaneous when rear-wheel slippage is detected; front-wheel torque is
achieved within a quarter of a second.
An upgraded electonically controlled four-speed automatic transmission significantly
lowers the level of noise and vibration. The locking rear differential does the same for
side-to-side slippage of the rear tires. When one tire begins to lose traction, the
locking differential instantly transfers more power to the other wheel, stabilizing the
rear end. This enables both rear wheels to work together to help get you down the road in
control.
And unlike some vehicles that only offer their top-of-the-line all-wheel-drive system on
their most expensive models, or as an extra-cost option, SmartTrak is standard in every
Bravada.
