Abstract
A shiftable wheel end reduction may be mechanically coupled to a driven axle shaft and to a driven wheel of a wheeled vehicle. The shiftable wheel end reduction may be switched between a first operating mode, in which torque carried by the driven axle shaft is increased and transferred to the driven wheel by the shiftable wheel end reduction, and a second operating mode, in which torque carried by the driven axle shaft is maintained and transferred to the driven wheel by the shiftable wheel end reduction.
