I would like to congratulate the Jeep driver because he really knows the capabilities of his vehicle. A true master behind the wheel of this Jeep.

All that brand hate. So much wasted energy. Lovely video and very nice driving. Both models seem to be in very capable hands, and it goes to show with the right driver it really doesn't need massive lifts, aggressive tires and a heavy right foot to cover trails like this.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, you're right about the WK2's. They have pretty good clearance with the independent suspension compared to my WH/WK model but I don't know how high they could be lifted or what would be the biggest tyre size to put on. In regards to the Land Cruiser and Patrol, LOL, I better not comment, all war will break loose, HAHA, if you know what I mean :D.

Impressive from both vehicles.

[@bb7557]

I am impressed with how much control the Jeep maintained. It was thinking how to best climb in every situation, putting the power exactly where it wanted it and the air suspension leveled it out perfectly. The ironic thing is that the Cherokee is really a crossover always has been.

[@cosminpopa8630]

+Bruce B Its a Laredo, it doesn't have air suspension

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Hi Ken, just as Nicholas said, his is the WK2 and I still have my HEMI WK, I love it to much, can't think of selling it yet. Yeah, that's my Patrol that I use for work, it's stock with a factory rear locker.

[@krecha1]

[@nb9008]

Interesting how the Jeep 4x4 system selects the wheel(s) with the most traction. Thanks for the vid boys.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Because of traction control. No worries. I'm glad you liked the video. Hopefully I'll have some more good ones.

[@quick906]

Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) Does this Jeep have the electronic rear locker or is it all done with traction control? Is it Quadra Lift or steel springs? Impressive stuff. Good job.

[@nicholasklapsogiannis5763]

Traction control only, steel springs but I have a 2 inch spacer lift.

[@quick906]

Nicholas Klapsogiannis That's awesome. Nice driving and thanks for the reply.

[@wlondrie782]

This video is a testament to the capabilities of the Jeep Grand Cherokee! I purchased a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland not too long ago and LOVE it. It hasn't disappointed me one bit. I actually think its look is better than the newer models. The larger grill and headlights give it a bolder, more rugged look. The rear taillight's design flow into the center chrome accent, making it look like an SUV rather than a minivan. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks for leaving a comment 👍 Glad you liked the video.

[@Nthstar]

@Walter Londrie Totally agree!

[@danroman9550]

Jeep = Like a BEAST!! Thumbs up on the off road skills as well, both drivers. But the Jeep made it seem effortless. I have a WJ series Overland.

[@rsr3869]

Awesome trail and amazing driving skills! Thanks for sharing it. I'm so surprised a V6 QC "mom-mobile" is this off-road capable - just helped me decide to buy a used 2011 for my winter ski trips in Michigan.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Rubens Ribeiro the Jeep Grand Cherokee is no qc mom-mobile obviously...it’s an outdoor-mobile

[@james4059a]

Cool video. Both vehicles look good. My 2011 GC has seen more sand than rock, but has always performed well. I need the underbody protection next though

[@AussieFourWheelers]

[@AussieFourWheelers]

That one in the video is my mate's and I was surprised how well it performed. He also said he gets very good fuel economy. Personally, I love V8's so a HEMI would do fine for me, just love the sound. But if you want real good economy without losing much power, CRD is the way to go then, amazing torque, excellent 0-100 times for an SUV and good low down torque for wheeling.

[@SeanMcCartney2808]

love your videos. If I may ask Hemi, what is your line of work if you need the fully prepped 4x4? (sounds like my kind of work!).

[@rockymountboy]

Why is everyone so impressed with the Jeep? It's designed to do this! In any case, as far as I am concerned, if they both finished the trip without breaking, they both win. They may do it different ways, but they get the job done. But I's still rather have the Jeep and do it in luxurious comfort and style..

[@dean8067]

The patrol was also designed for this

[@stevenbryant4718]

Try driving the Nissan on the highway for a whole day, Jeep is much better!

[@ShadyJ911]

Stupidity such as yours still amazes me.

[@jackgoodman3052]

I've been in both on the highway all day (1991 patrol instead of a 98+ but the point stands still) and id rather be in the patrol cause I have far more faith in it getting me home without having to work out, why all of a sudden the computer won't let me have 4wd, the lights in the sun visors are trying to catch fire, the abs module has stopped working and I have no brakes at all, why the check engine light is on (on ours turned out to be a cracked head from poor material quality) plus the seats weren't even very comfortable after the patrol

[@mylesmooney7505]

Irish ☘️ army had the Nissan patrol, except bit of kit , & I am a Land Rover Guy , drove a patrol in Africa didn’t disappoint !

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Jeep's fully armoured underneath, plus he's got the rock crushers on the sides, made out of RHS 150x50x5mm. I just did the same on the Patrol but went with a bit lighter 150x50x4mm and tested it (see the 4x4 Mayhem Teaser @ Wheeny Creek video) and not a dent, let alone a bend. Just scratches, which are easily fixed with a spray can LOL. So yeah, the Jeep does very well. The intention is to make it remain looking stock... a sleeper.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks man 👍👍 Thanks for watching.

[@Denis-hd8zz]

Coming from someone who uses a 2011 Grand Cherokee for offloading one of the biggest factors is having the right tires to get the job done. I personally use sub-terrain tires because it gives a combination of a highway tire and a off road tire. For optimal performance using a All-Terrain tire is the obvious best option.

[@kennethcurtis1856]

No, the biggest factor is having a driver knowing what they are doing.

[@SainzPatrol]

Nice video, what camera do you use?

[@jacooosthuizen3593]

Impressive with jeep on those tires, that is more than enough id need it for for my kind of camping.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Not that easy! It wasn't just this trip. The owner of the Grand really gives it hard time and it's been on plenty of trips. All fixed now and ready for more adventures.

In 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee higher models introduced air suspension and later they added it as an optional suspension also to the Laredo model

[@Thecherokee4x4]

Great video mate. The vehicles are close to comparison. I would like to know Solid axle to solid axle JK Rubi vs Nissan Patrol !

[@SGTEdwards2008]

Gotta give it to Jeep. This is the Laredo Model and has no Off-road package and still manage to walk those wet rocks with no drama whatsoever. I am so getting the Overland with the 8-speed and off-road 2 package :D

Subscribing to this channel. You Aussies know what offroading is.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thank you very much 👍 Greatly appreciated.

[@roynash]

Great video! BOth vehicles did well but the Jeep seemed to handle nearly all situations a bit smoother and more confidently; also less jostling. I was surprised to see later in the video that the Jeep was a Laredo. I had expected it to be a Limited with the Quadra Drive II, since it seemed to grab new traction whenever a wheel slipped. Must be that the traction control works well or possibly it was after-market equipped with a locker? Enjoyable and good stuff to learn here about stock ground clearance, etc. Thanks.

[@Hectorcastillo715]

Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 is a beast off roading I have one myself

[@AussieFourWheelers]

It's QT2 not QD2

[@isahiahmorrison3284]

he's right a Jeep is way better

[@detroitjeeper]

I hope I don't offend anyone with my comment but out of my personal experience with the Nissan Patrol I think it needed a stronger engine it was one sluggish big truck with an underpowered engine, I used to own a 99 Super Safari Patrol with a 4.5 I6 and an auto trans. I felt like I needed a calender to time my 0-60, it didn't perform very well on big sand dunes it had a very good suspension though, all it needed was a bigger pumping heart, maybe because mine was an auto IDK..

[@millat1m3]

Jeep looks so poised and compliant. It never looks out of shape. It just walks it.

[@tboss8565]

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Did you mean 21:21? If it is, it was the transfer case on its way.

[@mr.krankypantsakakurt3359]

Still one of my favorite videos. Those kids look like they are having a blast. Lol

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks :) Yeah, they did ;)

[@AussieFourWheelers]

It's not because of wheelbase but because of wheel travel. The Nissan has solid axles and the Jeep has independents all around.

[@padidivemaster1963]

that's a jolly good job guys! both cars are great. I had a discovery 300tdi -rubbish. Now I drive grand cherokee wh with quadra drive ii and it s a perfect car. I love it.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. WH's are great.

[@SpazDillinger]

JEEPS have been doing this when Nissan was swimming in his dad's ball sack..Anything a Nissan can do, the JEEP which is a multi million dollar car make, can out rival any other SUV in the market. Lucky this is a Grand Cherokee, because the normal Cherokee could not do this . Don't buy a Jeep compass or a patriot tho, very bad investments. Nissan is ok ..but when it comes down to being the big dog in the market...JEEP is the ultimate contender.

[@123clickAustralia]

Where in Menai? I have been looking for places to drive near Heathcote but couldn't find any tracks that were open to the public?

[@MrTomwinter]

The Patrol made that look a lot easier than the Jeep, it had better suspension travel and more clearance. The traction control on the jeep was the only thing that got that through, and then it was putting massive strain on the half shafts. I think the patrol will still be running well in another 15 years whereas the Jeep I think will have died.

[@bigcarpvideos]

Exactly what I was thinking. I would buy a Patrol over a Jeep hands down.

[@wsantalitz7785]

Sad there are no Patrols in Canada and even the new pathfinders are now just a common crossovers.
