I think you are confusing a F-150 Raptor system for a Ranger system that is not the same as best as I can tell. You'll also notice in that video he mentions the automatic front disconnect hubs, I've not seen that on the current gen 4x4 Ranger or mention of it on the next gen 4x4 Ranger.Not correct at all. It is AWD, not part time 4WD. Jason at Engineering Explained has a good video on the same system in the F-150 Raptor.
Did you read the owner's manual for the next gen ranger with 4A mode? 4A stands for "four-wheel drive auto", that doesn't sound like they are using an AWD system. Further info in the manual states that when you select 4A, the system continuously varies power to the front wheels for optimum performance. If we assume that the video at least got the info about the wet clutches in the transfer case right, it is not really AWD or 4WD, but if the wet clutches are in full lock mode it will be just like 4WD up to the grip limit of the wet clutches.
