All four Jimny generations have manually user selectable dual-ratio (dual range) gearing mechanism. The two ratios / ranges are called "high range" (for regular on-road driving and light to moderate all-terrain driving) and "low range" (for moderate to hard all-terrain driving and for all-terrain towing). The overall transmission gearing ratio is exactly halved when the vehicle is in low range transmission mode. This has the effect of the vehicle moving approximately twice as slow but with double torque at the wheels in any transmission gear. For example, the 4th gear in low range behaves similar to the 2nd gear in high range, and 3rd gear in low range behaves similarly as "1.5th gear" in high range.
