Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 Hill Climb sand to rock mode

[@thiagolopesdasilva6620]

That's the perfect exemple of how using the right mode makes a ton of difference! Very nice Jeep by the way!

[@nathanriddle4190]

Thanks! And ya exactly right

[@nathanriddle4190]

Some traction controls can be not much more than throttle control but the jeeps actually messes alot with how much traction the vehicle gets

[@himwhom]

​@nathanriddle4190 did you have the air ride all the way up?

[@nathanriddle4190]

I think that was level one not 2

[@himwhom]

@nathanriddle4190 I've noticed ours does alot better higher up off the ground. Love the jeep bro. Color is slick.

[@redneck400m3]

The GC is more capable then people give it credit for....IF you know which mode to select and arnt afraid of the go pedal

[@whatsup6969]

I have tried all the different modes on mine and found it works the best in auto mode. Just floor it and it'll make it up.

[@TroutWest]

You don't know how to drive this jeep bro... You need to understand how the 4wd system works on it. You don't just "GAS IT"... put your foot on the throttle steady and HOLD IT THERE. The trans will figure out what it needs to do for traction, it will walk right up that hill. Every time you take your foot off the pedal you're screwing up that process.

[@nathanriddle4190]

Did you watch the whole video? It me trying 3 different traction control modes. First auto, then sand, then rock mode

[@nathanriddle4190]

And trust me, I have held down the throttle in auto, it doesn't figure it out, it just digs ruts which is rude trail etiquette.

[@hopebrowning6300]

Lol ..get a real 4x4 and don't have to worry about with system or mode to take or let the computer do it for you.Plus worst part its a mopar /Chrysler/fiat product

"Put in 4wd" i dunno why but that sparked my anxiety 🫣🫠 fun climb though. Try it again with some grippier tires.

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

People have so much confirmation bias. Like they come at it ready for everything but a Wrangler to fail. We need a LOT more STOCK Wrangler versus X videos.

​@@hopebrowning6300As a previous 4runner owner I would hesitate in saying Jeeps are junk. Might require a little more care than a toyota but Jeep capability can't be questioned.

[@zaccorpseman7366]

It looks like a Quadra Trac judging by the way it moved, woulda been easier if it was Quadra Drive

[@daviidfm923]

Stock rims being 20s vs 18s and lack of trail rated badge are a dead giveaway as well.

[@The_Samsquantch]

No momentum is tough on the system. Kinda funny how wonky the Quadra-Trac system can be with modes outside what you're on, being the better option. TFL Offroad does a pretty good presentation/deep dive on that.

[@nathanriddle4190]

Goodyear wranglers, they handle really well for this environment and rain, but I've been a bit disappointed with road noise on the freeway. But I bought the barely used for like 400 bucks so it's worth it

[@user-ur7eg8ro2q]

Sir for a full experience please consider this the Jeep Wrangler

[@Nick_Gir]

What trim is that? Also what options does it have?

[@nathanriddle4190]

It's the overland edition with quadralift and quadratrac 2

[@patri6kd3mps3y8]

I hate that they changed the four-wheel-drive system, they should’ve kept the selec track from the WJ model

[@domingosantos7948]

Tires size?

[@davidderfus3462]

UNFORTUNATELY the video never does the hill justice. They say the camera adds 10 pounds, but it also takes off 20° from how steep the hill REALLY is 😆

[@nathanriddle4190]

SO TRUE!

[@cryptomg]

WJ would have no problem

[@nathanriddle4190]

It didn't have a problem, when it was in the right mode. Plus the wk2 is way more refined on road, which is where it spends most of its time

Not the beach should be in rock or mud mode anyways

This sand around here is much finer than beach sand and it alternates between slick rock and various densities of sand

Need bigger treads

Those are mud terrains with more than half tread... but honestly the sand out there prefers bald tires haha
