Default Front Rear axle power Ratio

Anybody on here know the power percentage between Rear and Front axle on a 2013 RT AWD?

It's variable. Here is a blip and though it says 4wd it is an AWD unit.

The Select-Trac® II is the MP3022 two-speed, on-demand, active four-wheel drive transfer case that provides optimum traction for a wide range of conditions, while maximizing driver convenience. When operating in 4WD Auto mode, this sophisticated system anticipates and prevents slip by redirecting torque as necessary, up to 100 percent to either the front or rear axle if needed.

For added traction capability when traversing steep grades, rough terrain or extremely poor traction surfaces, the transfer case includes a 4WD Low mode. This second speed gear multiplies engine torque 2.72 times and locks the clutch pack for maximum traction.

Electric shifting between 4WD AUTO and 4WD Low is effected with a console-mounted switch. A pushpin button is used to shift to Neutral mode.

The MP3022 transfer case provides the following benefits:

Active, on-demand four-wheel drive requires no driver input.
Instantly anticipates slip and preemptively redirects torque as needed.
Vehicle stability under all conditions because torque is constantly being transferred.
4WD Low operation mode provides an advantage over vehicles equipped with a single-speed all-wheel drive transfer case.
Electric shifting between 4WD Auto and 4WD Low provides smooth operation and improved NVH control compared to systems with mechanical linkage.
Enhanced traction and stability provided by the Traction Control and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) working in tandem with four-wheel-drive.
A robust design and sealing for reliability.
Maintenance-free.
A neutral mode permits flat towing.
OPERATING RANGES
Transfer case operating ranges are:

Operating positions: 2WD - 4WD Auto - N - 4WD Low.
2WD = 2 wheel drive.
4WD Auto = Electronically controlled wet clutch for torque biasing.
N = Transfer case neutral for 4-wheel flat recreational towing.
4WD Low = Low range (2.72:1) part time mode.
The 4WD Low range is for off road use only. It is not for use on hard surface roads unless the road surface is wet, slippery, or covered by ice and snow.

The low range reduction gear system is operative in 4WD Low range only. This range is for extra pulling power in off road situations. Low range reduction ratio is 2.72:1.


Here is more if you like to read: they used these MP units in GM trucks as well...

"Operating positions: 2WD - 4WD Auto - N - 4WD Low."

Wonder if there is a way to "trick it" into 2wd mode in our rigs, my suburban has that option and it does seem to make a difference in my MPG versus when its in AWD. Dont understand Dodge didnt give us that option on the rotary dial if the transfer case has the ability.
