Jeep Patriot OFF-Road on the virgin snow

[@1000miles2paradise]

A set of true snow tires all the way around, and that little street-jeep would easily get up the hill at the end. :)

[@Evandiego16]

Great video showing how capable it is when locking the front and rear differentials.

[@Prilerwine723]

I just looked at an Orange 2008 Jeep Patriot Sport, and after seeing this video, I know I'm impressed with Jeep, once again. I'll be very happy and after getting it, and I know my girlfriend will be as well, seeing how awesome the 4WD does in snow. Thank you for posting!

[@TheFlyingExperience]

I LOVE this Jeep. I have had it for two years (I did a 1 year lease on both). I hated the CVT but I have the 6 speed now and its great. Great gas mileage, responsive steering, sits up like a SUV but quiet ride. It was a great pickup (to merge on highway ramps or to overtake on a two lane country road)...its really great.

[@abandonedexploration4495]

I like mine.

[@calm713]

What's wrong with the CVT?

[@multibucket01]

We finally had our first real snowfall here in WV. I took my Patriot out for some fun and was amazed how well it handled. The traction control and ABS, as well as the ESP was flawless, much better than my Explorer.

[@brianpaul8556]

I live in North Dakota, and am looking into different SUV's for winter, which gets really dicey here. This model just made the top list. Thank you.

[@91Quade]

Honestly, the best snow-off-road vid!!

[@Warrantofficer13]

For such an affordable car, that thing goes through the snow like a boss!

[@dart5722010]

I just bought a 2010 north one of these. Can't wait for it to snow here in bc. I am coming from a 4x4 ranger so was a bit nervouse about the handling in that kind of weather... Your video inspires confidence in my new baby!

[@yens9876]

Hi Recien compre el mio es una 2008 este sera mi primer invierno. Que puedo esperar ??

[@diadeth]

Having a locked diff. really makes a difference. Got one installed on my 08 pathfinder (only w/ limited slip), plus with bfgoodrich all terrain tires installed just recently.

[@steveperuski5547]

Ty for posting shows the true capabilities of this vehicle

[@cdawg4391]

Nice driving. You know what you're doing. Two words, though: snow tires! I have a set on my 2003 liberty and they make a world of difference here in the mtns. climbing steep hills

[@ibenzawla]

Sometimes the problem is the driver.

[@abandonedexploration4495]

+oce The jeep patriot is meant for offroading like a jeep grand Cherokee would do.

[@tc1uscg]

Just like the Liberty, it has no ground clearance for serious off road use. I first put skids under my KK. Then, ended up putting a 3inch lift and 255/65 16's. I now have 10inches under the lowerest spot in the front and just under 10 under the rear axle. So, after rockrails, hitch, skids, I have a rig that comes in at 4600lbs and handles great. Last 8 inch snow we had, I wasn't dragging bottom like I use to.

[@kennethcurtis1856]

The Patriot was designed for 'serious' (what ever your definition is) off road use. It was designed to be the most capable in the their class. I wish people would understand that sh*t.

[@kennethcurtis1856]

We have an 09 KK. Love it. Take it to Colorado and Utah and does great. The serious lake effect snowfalls we get in Indiana, it handles like a champ. Is it a Wrangler--no. I don't want it to be.

[@ДенисИванов-ц5з]

[@lilrara11804]

love how the nex are chiming in every time. "YOU TAKE UR OL GROSHRY GITTER N GET OFF'N MY TRAILS!" Sorry. Not plannin to get anything over a 4cyl any time soon. I want a Wrangler so bad, but between gas prices, the economy and most of all the environmental situation... i just can't justify it. And this Patriot seems to fit the bill perfectly. mid twenty mpg's, plenty of room for the family AND 4WD for a little fun and safety. And for the price, can't beat it.

[@scarlebloke]

Great video - obviously an excellent 4x4 for the money.

[@joemiller9227]

The ratings on the gas mileage is amazing but the power is weak because it's a 4 cylinder. Wish it was a v6 that gets good gas cause all 4x4's get bad gas mileage :-( But since it has low range it doesn't matter so that's a good thing

[@waynenelson1843]

Its about time that you show what the jeep can do.

[@nemtastic]

The dog barking in the background set my Shepard off on a 10 min tangent. LOL

[@ctbt1832]

3:06 the back wheels are not spinning while the front wheels are moving

[@TCB1468]

Could someone please explain to me what 4wd lock is and what is the diff between selct trac and command trac

[@bigcsbigbrother3685]

Why at 3:04 does the passenger back tire not turn? I thought all four tires were supposed to get a percentage of the engines power?

[@joemiller9227]

Only in 4 low, in other words (low range) do the front tires spin at the same time because it's a lower gearing for tough situations & When your in 4 high its different, 4 high is normal 4x4 but 4 low is better for going up stuff or through thick mud. That's why low range kicks serious but 💪 There's lot to know about 4 wheel driving. It's very interesting.

hahaha nicee i need to find virgin snow like this here in canada this winter. im gonna buy winter tires this time either the michelin xi2 or the bridgestone blizzak ws60 not sure which 1 but they both seem good ~2001 honda crv ^^

[@pjjenkins7160]

I have a 2014 jeep patriot 4 wheel drive says its in but does not go in 4 wheel drive any help would be appreciated

[@ctbt1832]

Is this AWD or 4X4. I say that because the wheels are spinning at different times

[@winch458]

The Patriot is basically front-wheel drive. But power is transmitted via a vane package to the rear wheels if the front wheels slip. More like auxiliary operation. Toyota rave4 has a similar drive system. Partly to reduce fuel costs.

[@theschoolbusman]

Thats Amazing for a smaller jeep!!!! Great Job!

[@TnTTyler]

It has freedom drive II, good way to tell is look for tow hooks

[@123abcpa]

good thing this one has the trail rated badge on it, I was a little worried at first.

[@TCB1468]

Oh thanks One more Q though] In command trac u can use 4wd lock so all the wheels spin at the same time Can u do that with selec trac

[@tc1uscg]

I have found that in snow, ESP off seems to work much better. I have a 02 Liberty and it blows my 09 away in deep snow.

[@jamieledrew460]

What dose the esp stand for and what dose it do

[@tc1uscg65]

@@jamieledrew460 Electronic Stability Program. When on, it can control how your brakes react to tire spin. Turning off traction control, ESP or ESC can put you in control of tire spin or traction vs the computer. Sometimes the computer makes the wrong decision 😂

[@jeremybray9997]

Drove mine 09 from Ontario to Newfoundland from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia from Nova Scotia to Ontario and going to drive it back to Nova Scotia this June and it had nothing wrong with it

[@charlesgov3656]

Not bad considering the street tires !!

[@KeithSouthwest]

Is this Patriot still on the road? And does it still have the original transmission?

[@carolynstewart8465]

Great question....doubtful!

[@Freddiewgbs]

this may sound stupid, but does it have a display to show which driving mode it is on, as in either 4wd low, 4wd lock, or 2wd, possibly on the dashboard?

[@NickNorman13b]

Impressive off road!! Never expected that, sounds like a weed eater though!! 5 stars!

[@maximefcom]

What winter tires are you using ? Have you every think using the Good year Wrangler Territory ?

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

i was researching on this car...it handles better off road than on road...but if u always want a jeep with good gas milage and low price and a non rice egg looking car ...i think its worth it.

[@ionengine]

Handles just fine on the road for an SUV...better than the older Calibers and HHR CUVs, IMHO. THe suspension is tuned differently than the Caliber and Compass, and should have been more fine-tuned in 2009 and 2010 models, over the '07 & '08 (which is comfortable enough for me to prefer it over a bouncy Nitro).

[@jay973129]

Just a couple of stupid questions... I have a 2008 Patriot.........can I pull up the 4wd switch while moving or do I pull it while Im in Park? Also what is ESP?

[@marcmclaren6853]

My 2009 has 210,000 km on it now. No probs so far. How long will it last?

[@sjustice5254]

Marc McLaren i just got a 2015 patriot,and i am happy to see the high mileage with no issues...peace

[@abandonedexploration4495]

+S Justice I also have a 2015 jeep patriot but I have the 5spd and it's front wheel drive not 4x4 :( but other then it not having 4wd it's been great.

[@marcmclaren6853]

+S Justice @217000 the transmission failed and no one rebuilds CVT transmissions. You can only get an OEM one for about 4-5 thousand if I remember correctly plus where I live the average gararge charges $200/hr so needless to say I gave it away for parts. It lasted 6 1/2 years so no complaints.

[@sjustice5254]

Marc McLaren roger that,but my patriot does not have a cvt.it has the 6 speed auto powertech. still good mileage on yours though

[@landongendur]

Mine has 243,000km on it. So far so good :)

[@KINGOUNIT]

what do ppl think of the patriot ? im thinking of getting one is it worth it? and what package is the best for the patriot?

[@TCB1468]

If i was driving onsnowy ice on just a regular road is there a way to drive in 4wd but not in low or in a lock mode Im talkin about the selec trac

[@Arnold3D]

Don't you have Tow hook on the rear? I can't see them.

[@memomota]

im not an expert on snowy roads...is it the same an icy road and a snowy road???

[@TheWallyjp]

it would depend on how often you are remote starting it and for how long of periods

[@stoff3r]

"going up hill", *stuck at the spot you started from :,D

[@RickHavok]

That is an extremely steep hill for snow. There isn't much that would make it up that.

[@jamesr8103]

Do you like your Patriot, Does it get up and go on the highway? I'm thinking about getting one

[@ionengine]

If you intend to go on 4x4 trails, the Freedom Drive II (FDII) "Trail-Rated" package would be the way to go, gives you skid plates, all the 4WD goodies, and an extra inch of ground clearance. If you decide to get one in any case, don't opt for the smaller 2.0L engine, not worth the performance loss for the negligible savings in gas or cost.

[@LMG422]

ok, this might sound weird and the answer is probably no but did you buy that jeep from Salerno Duane in Summit NJ?

[@Maleekus]

I bet this car met the crusher not long after this vid was posted?

[@Freddiewgbs]

@Zpinua thank you. also, i believe that to change from these settings there is a switch - how does it work? (these are very stupid questions)

[@TheFlyingExperience]

Hey, great video and I love my Jeep Patriot. I have a question - there is a button that looks like "slipper when wet" symbol next to my seat heater (middle lower console) - if you depress it then whatever it is goes OFF. Does anyone know what that button is and when should I depress it to turn it "OFF"? Anyone knows? Thanks

Hi thanks for this Video, i'm thinking of buying a patriot and this has answered most the questions I had about it's offroad ability :) Ps quick question, I know how to put the car in 4wd lock as i've seen the chrome handle but how do you put the car in in low range?

[@cooldc129]

@Zpinua thanks for letting me know

[@ToxicHorsePucky]

Ice is far more dangerous than snow, but snow can make it harder for you to maneuver if you don't have the proper ground clearance. I'd take snow over ice any day.

[@pierlorenzotessa3020]

Do you use winter tires??

[@PIchillin456]

That's a shame. An off-road version with a turbo diesel sounds like a lot of fun. Jeep should make that an option.

[@cooldc129]

@Zpinua hey my dad might buy this jeep so i just want to know if its a good 4x4 or not because we live in canada and its very snowy in the winter, thanks
