[@TheGuvnuor]

When driving offroad, always turn traction control off. Driving with traction control on, it can get you stuck, and it limits your rpm.

[@barriotejas]

dude thank you for getting to the offroading without a long boring ass description. awesome vid!!!!!!

[@CarQuestion]

Glad you like it!

Yeah this is probably the first video I found where the guy DOES NOT read the entire Brochure to you before even gently driving through puddles. THANK YOU

[@nikhilkaistha4195]

This car is rally good I have drove many car but this one is awesome

[@Subhash_Chowdhury]

Great SUV with excellent capability 🔥🔥🔥

[@sdfasdfvccvvc]

Thanks for another cool video, I think everyone really appreciates that you drive these on your own course instead of manufacturer-prepared course (which are made to NEVER stress any system on any tested car). And yea, it's pretty unfortunate that Jeep didn't bother to add extra cooling system for transmission/transfer case, even for Trailhawk model.

[@niuhuskieguy]

sdfasdfvccvvc If they intend for this vehicle to used in harsh off road conditions, they should have built the awd transfer clutch into the transmission so it has use of all the trans fluid for cooling instead of the little amount able to be held in the rear differential.

[@SamuelPravin]

On-road ride quality of Compass Trailhawk(off-road variant) is better than Compass limited 4*4 Actual my Compass limited 4*4 sucks On-road ride quality 😭😣😢

[@0HOON0]

The sand testing course is great! Hope to see more of this in the future.

[@jasmine9538]

Looking to switch my coupe to an inexpensive suv. This is definitely on my list of options

[@stefanogoldoni5059]

One of the best jeep offroad test on youtube! As a jeep owner I find your videos extremely useful to set the 4wd system the best way

[@ignaciobarba8909]

when the Kia Sportage awd 2017???

[@Shawnjohnsonallthewa]

I keep imagining how good this Jeep would be with the new 2.0t or the 3.2 v6 out of the Cherokee

[@briancoyote7379]

yup. I would consider Compass if not for the engine

[@duncan5000]

I rented one of these, nearly identical to this, and drove the outer banks in it. It was great in the sand, until it wasn't. No one told me to let the air out of the tires until I got stuck (high centered) just south of beach access ramp 43. The local who mercifully pulled me out told me to remember that "this is the softest sand on the outer banks." The frustrating part is that after the tires dug holes as deep as they could, they just stopped turning altogether. The computer was trying to figure out which wheel to turn, and since they all slipped, it just stopped trying. I feel like I might have gotten out a little sooner and saved myself some of the experience of being a huge spectacle. Again, it performed well with fully inflated tires on Ocracoke, and a couple places near Hatteras. I was in North Carolina for a week and put 1300 miles on that little Jeep. Took to calling it Little Buddy. I was a little sad when I turned it in at RDU.

[@SanjayPatel-wg5ch]

very powerful car

[@stevenstockman5868]

it's lacking power

[@doordie8557]

It has a humangous power similar to fortuner

[@DirectX3]

Pro: off road capabilities Con: unreliable

[@MrEugenio1994]

DirectX3, if the driver put proper tyres, there wouldn't have been slippage and the car wouldn't have found any problems. Slipping the torque converter for minutes overheats it. It's a phisics limit.

[@lancsroddl3131]

Pentastar Nate anything to scotty anything that isnt a Toyota is junk 🙄

[@nigelsayah2827]

Not unreliable you dumb fuck

[@darlenekessler7293]

I had a 2012 Compass...loved it...well I rolled it ex this winter...thanks to the safety features on this vehicles...I walked away with just a bump on my head...I bought another Compass bc I do believe it saved me from serious injuries.

[@randomavgeek6041]

The 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk when on Sand mode lt collects all the torque so it does not get stuck

[@OggyGTA]

How come you didn't test the Renegade Trailhawk - it has more ground clearance and a bit lighter. Better off-roader in my view,

[@0HOON0]

The Compass gives another above average perfomance for its segment. If only the rest of the vehicle were so impressive.

[@niyaznazeersait]

why are you editing the video when car stuck on the sand. let us know what happened after that. how did you take it from the sand when it stuck?

I am on the market for a crossover but need the absolute best off road capability i can get out of a smaller crossover sized SUV.. So far Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has all my attention

[@CarQuestion]

Can't go wrong with the Trailhawk logo if you need an ultimate off-road machine! how about the 4 runner? :P

[@lunamaria1048]

That is a huge body on frame true SUV.. I just want a crossover with decent off road prowess like the Cherokee had.. The Cherokee has a rear locker too... Also, my husband currently has a 2019 4Runner TRD OR lol.. I live in the Pacific northwest a several hours north of Vancouver surrounded by mountains in high country.. My daily commutes are dirt roads and skechy trails lol

[@lunamaria1048]

An imbortant information if you drive your car in the sand you should name the tire pressure #like

hks 111 what more we can expect from highway tyres instead of offroad one's. Am i right?

Mohan Punia Yes, you're right. But in the Arab countries we dont care about the type of tires we care about lowering the air pressure at air and our things are good

Its horrible how the system cuts off 100% of power in sticky situations. Basically u floor it and no wheels are turning. Is it any different if you turn off TC/ESP or can you actually fully turn this systems off? Cause by click of a button its partially off only.

Great video... I have alot of mud ( when rain) did you feel it could handle it well? And I heard about some issues around the electrical system.. or it's only a few cases? And it's not having locked differential, did you feel it lacked ?

[@atrize]

I have a 2017 Jeep latitude, I take it on my muddy and sandy trails in Arizona, seeing a most mud I encounter is made up of clay it handles extremely well and I’ve never gotten stuck. There was once I kinda got stuck in sand but I just had to switch from “sand” to “mud” and it worked out fine . Just have to remember it’s not lifted, so you’ll probably end up getting stuck from trying to pass something it can’t reach

Dude I wouldn't let you behind the wheel of a lada.

Jerry Lee I'm in Canada, and it's done fairly well on road, I've taken it offroad in snow a bit and it has also done pretty well. I did get stuck once, but I was able to drive myself out. I wouldn't drive it in heavy snow more than ankle deep.

[@tinker1148]

Wow that's quite alarming that the 4wd system/trans overheated! In a Jeep no less! That would be a deal breaker for me if I were considering buying this.

@@donaldwilliams1634 thats good to hear. I would choose a compass over a renegade, but for a little more i would just bump up to a grand cherokee

Yeah they are awesome off-road but any time you are in 4 low make sure traction control is off
