I was giving him grief because I didn't think it'd be able to keep up. It'll be nice to know that I won't have to limit where we adventure to and that the Trailhawk will keep pace with my FJ just fine. Thanks for the demonstration!

It's always in 4WD... BUT it's automatic 4WD. The 4 wheel lock just tells it to STAY in 4wd without switching in and out automatically. And with the compass the 4 wheel low is actually just a little bit lower 1st gear. The car starts in second gear otherwise. Still , it's a very good and very capable car. My wife has the 2018 compass trailhawk and I have the 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk. The Cherokee has the "real" 4 low and a rear locker but, they're both very good. The compass gets WAY better gas mileage than the Cherokee even though mine and my wife's Jeep have the 2.4 and the 9 speed. Basically the same engine and transmission . Compass is faster and gets way better MPG. Yeah - if I had the V6 Cherokee the Cherokee would be faster but as it is, it's not.

@@NorthTexasDirt sure. I don't have any subscribers or videos but sure. Also , remember that the Wrangler sport has the same setup. So , I don't think it's a bad thing to just have front and back brake locking differentials if they work well. You can find videos of Wrangler sports doing absolutely insane things with these "simulated" front and rear lockers. In the past , you'd have to have mechanical front and rear lockers or front and rear limited slip differentials. I actually prefer the brake locking differentials because you are going to keep the brakes changed anyway , they're easier to inspect and probably much cheaper to replace than a limited slip differential clutch. One more thing , one of the fastest cars in the world , the McLaren , uses an open diff with brake locking... So... If someone doesn't think it's any good or thinks that it's not high performance... Think again... Other things to note : the compass and Cherokee Trailhawk vehicles , as well as the renegade are considered all wheel drive AND four wheel drive. The Wrangler sport is not... The features that the Trailhawk jeeps have they are just now introducing into the more modern Jeep Sahara's (I think that's right) and vehicles like the Ford raptor. These Trailhawk Jeeps we're ahead... Others are just now catching up - even other Jeeps !

I rather take the Cherokee Trailhawk
@NorthTexasDirt2 жыл бұрын
Yeah. The Cherokee is a smidge larger but it's also more expensive. Though it does have the rear locker which is nice.

Do you have a lift and bigger tires on the Compass? How is it holding up? I’m mostly worried about the transmissions on those.
@NorthTexasDirt3 ай бұрын
I do. About 3 1/2 inch lift and the tires are 245/65 r17. It still handles fine on and off road. No tie rod problems. I did lose a few miles per gallon though.
