The 4:1 Rock Trac (when in 4WD) mechanically locks the front and rear drive shafts together via gears and a drive chain so that the they MUST turn at the same speed.

The 242 has the option of part time and full time so you can run 4wd anytime you want. I prefer the 242 over the 231. An AWD system is a full-time 4x4 system that is typically always in 4x4 with no 2wd mode. Whether a system is part-time or full-time 4x4 has nothing to do with how often it is used. You may have a full-time 4x4 mode in a Jeep Cherokee and never use it, choosing to stay in 2wd all the time.Since no user input is required for this type of 4WD system, this system may be alternately and correctly referred to as an all-wheel-drive system. Calling this system AWD or 4WD is equally correct. The KL Cherokee, along with most CUV's today, have this type of 4WD system. User input is not required on this system.
The 2021 Jeep Cherokee has a split personality. In front-wheel-drive (FWD) form, it performs much like the garden-variety compact SUV. It is comfortable, convenient, and offers a nice amount of cargo space. But there is another dimension to the Cherokee that other compact SUVs (with a couple of exceptions) don't even pretend to deliver.

LOOK for a red tag on the back of the transfer case it will tell you 231/242/249. there is a thread that explains it all and shows you how to do it.
The NP242 Selec-Trac transfer case debuted alongside the Fuel-Injected 4.0L Inline-6 in the compact Jeep Cherokee in 1987. The shifter has modes 2WD - 4WD Hi Part-Time - 4WD Hi Full-Time - N - 4WD Low. There is a center differential that is open in 4WD Hi Full-Time mode and distributes torque 48/52% front-to-rear.
The Cherokee sits about 182 inches long, with a wheelbase of about 106 inches. It has 41.1 inches of front-seat leg room, about 38 inches of head room front and back, and 40.3 inches of rear-seat
