It might be a good Jeep ... because It is made by old Mercedes parts :)
The body frame and the transmission are from previous ML, a lot of interior.. not sure but I think the front axle too... the diesel engine for Europe market is also from Mercedes... it is pretty much a Mercedes :)
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is more refined than a Land Rover"? Erm....welI I don't think so, buddy...! I have driven both a 2011 GC and a Feeelander (not to mention Range Rovers but that's another story) and the Land Rover wins on both hardtop ride and handling.
Could this be a turning point for American cars? This SUV seem sto have come leaps and bounds ahead in terms of visual appeal and cosmetic looks. Would appear that the off road capabilty is suitable as well...I like what i'm seeing.
@czmotophoto let's not forget that Jeep is owned by Chrysler which is now owned by FIAT,an Italian company. And it's FIAT's involvment that has turned things right round for beleaguered Chrysler. Is this good new for US workers? Yes. But I don't think you can say it's a "turning point for American cars"
Can't wait for the Diesel version to come to the USA! I heard rumor of it getting 33mpg on highway! Worth the extra 50 cents extra cost of diesel in my area, Oregon.
@dahgutone im sure a lot of americans buy american vehicles out of patriotism,there is nothing wrong with that,,but american vehicles produced in america are scorned in europe, even though the best selling cars are european built ford and GM's..the problem is the cars sent over here are not as good as their euro or jap counterparts.im sure a country with your vast technical ability can rectify that and produce a vehicle that can do well on both sides of the pond.
i have a old jeep grand cherokee and it will pretty much climb a tree it will go any where you need it to go and i am thinking about getting this one, it looks very good.
As an European... I like prevoius version much better... this one looks like Japanese or Korean car... more than an American... I like this unique american design...which is different from Japanese and Korean style ... ( which I really hate) ..
I just bought a 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit V8. As a former foreign luxury car owner, I can't believe I'm sitting in an American car. So much care and detail was put into all aspects of vehicle; even to the smallest objects like buttons and dials. As soon as I sat in it, I wanted it. I paid $50K for it, and I feel like each and every penny was well spent. I can't believe people are still buying BMW X5s, because Jeeps are the most dependable SUVs; now they have the quality to back it up.
Most people don't understand that the Land Rover is just a UK jeep. Only careful marketing created the image it has now. It's never been better than a Jeep and falls short in some respects. My good friend was a manager for a Land Rover service dept. and he never thought much of the build quality compared to Jeep or Toyota.
@zackunderscorefalcon its just a gismo...no 4x4 needs it...its upto the drivers ability to use the car and where it goes...i have a 95 XJ and it gets just about anywhere new 4wds can with all there electronic crap built into them.
@aydinburton93, unfortunately, it appears as if this 4x4 needs it for anything more than slippery, uneven, uphill conditions.
I was simply wondering how this Jeep Grand Cherokee, minus all the electronic crap, would fare against the older Grand Cherokees (specifically, the WJ) off road.
@zackunderscorefalcon true...but you have to take into account the fact its sitting on road tyres...and generally an older jeep would out perform the newer ones...
I really like this new Cherokee...styled nice inside and out. Been thinking of buying one but on many used car reports, Jeep/Chrysler products score low on long term reliability reports, probs per 100 vehicles etc...

I would definitely buy this vehicle. I never knew it did all this. I'm tired of getting stuck in dirt,mud and snow. I have been considering renting this car for a week but wanted to see more about it. Now, I want to buy it and I haven't even driven or rented it yet. :)
@MJFIN1990 if you do not know my father has toyota landcruiser and my older brother has jeep grand cherokee and believe me grand cherokee is better value than land cruiser
grand cherokee is 5.7 l v8 360 hp 11.2 inchs ground clearance
land cruiser is 5.7 l v8 381 hp and only 8.9 inchs of ground clearance
grand cherokee is lighter than land cruiser so that it is faster
grand cherokee has more clearance so that it is better in off roading
@maxthehulk Dream on, dude. If you want to know what the truly best / toughest offroader is then go to the Australian Outback and have a look around. Out there if your car breaks it's not inconvenient, it's almost a death sentence. You'll see that almost every vehicle has either Toyota or Nissan written on it.
i never go off road so for me audi q7,porsche cayenne,infinity qx 56,bmw x5M,gran cherokee SRT-8 are the fastest road going best handling crossovers that i like
You seem pretty up set there Mahatma - swearing telling me to get a life? You seem to be a very emotional person - In the US it's customary not to insult people. Regarding warning indicators being optional because of the word "if" I'd call bs on that or every other manufacturer would do the same and save money on installing the light - so for the third time do you have any other examples where a maker has left out a light? - keep the insults to a minimum plz
@carquestions if you're responding to me at least reply so I know you weren't sheepish ha ha.I haven't insulted you at all unless proving you wrong is an insult and also for the 3rd time I agree with you that it's stupid to not have a battery light.got it now.so for the 2nd time 'for fuck sake get a life' call bs on what you want,I didn't write it and I don't agree a vehicle shouldn't have an idiot light.again I read and copied what you sent me.it really is that simple
Too bad Chrysler forgot to put in a battery light or voltage gauge - if your battery dies you'll never know - I guess the reviewer up top missed that little fact when he tested the car and all it's features. - see the full story at carquestions channel
@unoo1991 I won't have to take that risk since I don't own one, everyone else that buys one will - I have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has a gauge.
@carquestions what are you going to do if your battery is dying in the middle of nowhere and you have a gauge that tells you its dying or if you don't have a gauge and it just dies? Either way your truck will die in the middle of nowhere.
@unoo1991 I don't know about you but most people would like a couple hours of warning to try and do something rather than just have a car die suddenly with no warning. What normal person wouldn't want a warning? - Would you drive a car that might die while passing a semi on a two lane road with cars coming at you? - Come on use your head -some warning is better than none - stop flogging a dead horse
@carquestions I do use my head. How about you just check the battery before you go on a road trip. I don't know about you but I take care of my car to prevent situations like the one you mentioned. I am also willing to bet that the average person wouldn't even notice the battery gauge drop if the alternator were to die randomly. Anyway I guess it is just personal preference.
@unoo1991 I agree the average person wouldn't notice the gauge - THAT'S WHY THE JEEP SHOULD HAVE A WARNING LIGHT - or are you suggesting the average person wouldn't notice a red light and the average person should be carrying a voltmeter with them where ever they go? -
@carquestions If you go on a long road trip then check the battery before you go. Its that simple. I also said the average person probably would not notice the gauge drop. I never said anything about a warning light. Anyway my car does not have a voltage gauge and I have never had an issue.
@unoo1991 Well I did say the Jeep doesn't have a warning light or gage - so how would the average person "check" a battery? Your mom for instance - is she going to buy a voltmeter or just stare at it?
@carquestions honestly it isn't my problem if someone cannot check their battery. if they want the can just google it. My mom would simply ask my dad. Otherwise the car can be taken into a shop to be checked. Sure it costs money to bring it in but its better to be safe then sorry. If you take care of your car, your car will take care of you. Its that simple.
@carquestions Hmm maybe because not everyone is going to go buy a new vehicle tomorrow. And why wouldn't you do that if you can prevent your battery from dying in the middle of nowhere or prevent your engine from stalling when your trying to pass a semi truck.
@unoo1991 Guess you missed the video - its from MotorTrend on the new Jeep - for people wanting to buy a new SUV - He should've mentioned you need to check the battery/charging system before taking it on a long trip or to MOAB - since it doesn't come with a warning light or gage.
@carquestions checking the battery should be a standard procedur before you go on a long trip. I'm done arguing about this. If you don't want to check the battery before you go on a long trip then don't. If you need a voltage gauge on the dash board then when you buy a new car make sure it has one. I have never had an issue and I don't have a voltage gauge.
@unoo1991 To sum up I'd say a $40,000+ new vehicle should come with a warning light or gage (since it is the law) and you think it's unnecessary since people should check the charging system themselves. I guess they could also signal with their arms when turning and Chrysler/Fiat could save a few bucks by eliminating the turn signals and brake lights.
@carquestions i didn't say it was unnecessary. I said one should check the battery before they go on a long road trip to make sure it is still good. Also, if it is the law to put a warning light in then there is a warning light in there.
@carquestions go to ask,why you'd think it's law ? more to the point though,an average person can't change the battery anyway as it's under the front seat and requires removal.so there's a lot more to owning this vehicle than meets the eye.I agree with you though about the light,don't believe it's law though.
@carquestions look at the link you sent me and look at the last Amendment(s) published May 15, 2006, in 71 FR 27971.... battery image is on table 1 and clearly states 'If a symbol is used, each symbol provided pursuant to this paragraph must be substantially similar in form to the symbol as it appears in Table 1 or Table 2'.which means if you do supply a battery indicator it must look like the symbol in table 1 or 2.it doesn't say it's law to use one it's only law to how it must look.
@mahatmacoatmahandbag Check Footnote 1 to table 1. Maybe in Afghanistan where you're from you don't need a volt gauge or telltale light but they do in the US. If what you said is true - that these indicators are optional - then the same reasoning applies to the coolant, oil pressure etc. correct? Also I'd like to know of just one other car manufacturer that has done this - do you know of any?
@carquestions calm down there old boy,it's human to be wrong.just cause i proved it's not law isn't the end of the world.you supplied me the link remember.I live in Arizona,I am American,hence why I said originally I don't believe it's law.what I said is true as I copied and pasted straight from your link,read it yourself as I supplied the last amendment.I think it's stupid not having a battery light but it's still not law.
@mahatmacoatmahandbag If you are American don't say you live in Afganistan on your Channel info - Americans that are in Afganistan fighting may take offence. Secondly, if you're right, and at this point I'd say at best the language is unclear regarding the one word "if" - what you're saying is that anything in the table including brake failure warning is optional - this is of course obsurd
@carquestions I am american now for 6 years.but what that has to do with anything I don't know.control your anger man.as you said to me 'read it yourself'.I took your advice and read it,copied and pasted it and all from your link you don't seem to want to read ha ha.get a life for fuck sake man.
looks nice, never actually driven one myself though. test drove a new liberty and hated it - any thoughts on this new model compared to previous model? better? worse?
THIS is the new premium 4x4 off road king of the hill. Fuck X5, ML, Range Sport. Leave alone just mentioning the vulgar ugly ass Cayenne. Come on Fiat, come on Marchionne.
@Mawerik024 the new body on the Cayenne is very good looking, better than this Jeep imo. X5 dose not have any superior offroad capabilitis since it's for fatassed ppl that drives on the highway.
@fesen2 Looks is not arguable, is just personal taste. But the fact is that the Cayenne costs a whole lot of money more than the jeep, and for that you get a lot more on-road capability (that you don't want because otherwise you'd get a normal car) and no more off-road. The only true SUVs are the Range Rover (the proper one, not the sport), the Merc GL and the Grand Cherokee. And one of them costs a lot less...
@extremeriga12 4x2 is rear wheel drive(two wheels only move) 4x4 is when all wheels move, like awd but you can switch between the two. 4x4 is the way to go for off road. 4x2 is some offroad but not for snow or anything major. the 4x means their is 4 wheels on the vehicle and the x2 or x4 is depending how many wheels are powered(move?
i got a 94 JGC 5.2 V8 and love it, I find no need to spend 45,000 on a new jeep, when you can sup up a 94 with a lift kit for 1,500 and install all the features of the 2011 for about 5,000, my JGC does everything this jeep does, I have the 94 V8 5.2 with a 242 select track, heated seats with gps system and sub and kenwood stereo system and a 5 inch lift kit, and body armer. I'm fine with my 94.
All I have to say is I have a 06 jeep commander and I live in ny this past snow storm we had showed who had a better vehicle and I seen range rivers h2 and 4 runners stuck in the snow and all I had to do was hit the gas range rover is OVER RATED
"The Jeep Grand Cherokee can do anything offroad that a Land Rover can do. It's a better on road vehicle than a Land Rover". How about.......NO? I think that correctly replies to what he said.It may be a better on road car but that's only because Jeeps aren't as off road designed as Land Rovers and don't have full time 4wd. I would put my Discovery II up against that any day and leave that sissie Jeep in the dust! You don't buy a discovery for on road ability, you buy it to beat everyone offroad
You gotta be kidding me... A jeep is just as off road capable than a Land Rover... I would know i've had both... Plus full time 4wd is just a fancy way of saying all wheel drive... If you want aLR or RR go buy one... Ill go and buy 2 Jeeps for the price of your 1... SO go and talk smack on a Jeep on a LR video! BTW its a jeep the first 4x4.. Thanks to us AMERICANS you have your stupid LR
@foreverford11 FYI even though Jeep came out before land rover, they weren't 4-wheel drive. Land Rover had the first. The early jeeps were 2-wheel drive. So jeep wasn't the first 4x4. I'm american by the way and I'm not afraid to say that land rover is better and they don't have to thank jeep for anything.
@thecruisinplaya you're talking bollocks.,land rover came out in 1948.in fact The first Land Rover prototype, later nicknamed 'Centre Steer', was built on a Jeep chassis in 1947 by Maurice Wilks.Early in 1941, Willys-Overland demonstrated the jeeps off-road capability by having it drive up the steps of the United States Capitol.this was the worlds first 4X4.all jeeps in the 2nd world war where 4X4,a war that ended 3 years before land rovers birth and I'm british by the way ha ha.
@mahatmacoatmahandbag I may have had the history wrong but that's not what my original comment was about. I'm just saying that Land Rovers are geared lower and generally more offroad suited than jeeps. The winning 4x4 really comes down to the driver, but theoretically if you had drivers with the same skill in both and put them head to head, I'm saying the Land Rover would win hands down.
@thecruisinplaya. Land Rovers are more offroad suited than Jeeps, Not true. Land Rovers will never be as good as Jeep On Rock. When it comes down to Mud, i dont know because no one has ever put a Jeep and a Land Rover head to head in Mud. And about the early Jeeps being 2-wheel drive not true.1940-1941: Bantam build 2700 light 4x4s, early "Jeeps". Do research before you talk out your ass kid.
all that from motor trend for the last sentence?? It's a better deal than a land rover ?? Wow thats not hard to beat!! How about a hell of a lot of truck for the money!! Screw land rover and bmw, Wanabes!! !941 I don,t think bmw was thinking about a 4x4 then!!
They shouldn't put an engine called Pentastar in a vehicle which American Motors Corp have Chrysler all the off road and 4x4 capability for. The quadradrive system is renamed AMC and Willys technology, just like the Wrangler is completely AMC and Willys engineering except the worthless appearance changes made by Chrysler. The only mopar a Jeep is is AMC MotorParts. Don't bother leaving an ignorant comment. It's compete AMC off road technology.
I bought this car 3 weeks ago and I totally HATE JEEP. I will not recommend any one to buy this brand! This car came with several factory errors, The GPS unit is out dated and very old (they claim it comes with the latest version), The whole handsfree unit is crap cannot hear who is on call with me neither can they hear me!, voice opperating system does not understand anything and does totally the opposite of what you ask. The bolts and screws on shocks come rusted as factory std. Get VOLVO XC60
An incredible SUV, beautiful,strong, capable...there's only one problem...no one can afford one. I took a stroll down to my local Jeep lot ( B.C. Canada) and...well, I was stunned.... $42,000 for a Base Laredo,$51,000 for a Laredo-X and $60,000 for an Overland.(Tack on a 6.9% interest rate too boot) These prices are no where near "Jeep Canada's" MSRP levels....and frankly,are too far out of reach for most families. Price points and interest rates have to come down.
This auto obviously isn't for off-road driving since they no longer put on the hard thick plastic guards on the bottom half. You'd scratch up that point 1st time out.
Hey people I have a question... I want to buy either this Grand Cherokee or the new Dodge Durango.... I cant decide which one to buy because I like both. I can afford either one, but theres things about each one that I like better. The Durango has better styling, but I feel the Grand Cherokee would be more prepared for those occasional moment when I decide to go off roading.... SUGGESTIONS please? Thanks
good review unlike Consumer Reports.org who on youtube hated the jeep then for some unknown reason edited the same youtube footage and now say it's a great car.very shabby

You seem pretty up set there Mahatma - swearing telling me to get a life? You seem to be a very emotional person - In the US it's customary not to insult people. Regarding warning indicators being optional because of the word "if" I'd call bs on that or every other manufacturer would do the same and save money on installing the light - so for the third time do you have any other examples where a maker has left out a light? - keep the insults to a minimum plz

Too bad Chrysler forgot to put in a battery light or voltage gauge - if your battery dies you'll never know - I guess the reviewer up top missed that little fact when he tested the car and all it's features. - see the full story at carquestions channel
carquestions 6 months ago
@carquestions i think your going to know if your battery is dead pretty quick. If you car doesn't turn on... your battery is probably dead.
unoo1991 6 months ago
@unoo1991 Sure you would unless it the alternator goes dead while on a 2hr drive in the middle of nowhere miles from a service station.
carquestions 6 months ago
@carquestions well i guess you will just have to take that risk
unoo1991 6 months ago
@unoo1991 I won't have to take that risk since I don't own one, everyone else that buys one will - I have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has a gauge.
carquestions 6 months ago
@carquestions what are you going to do if your battery is dying in the middle of nowhere and you have a gauge that tells you its dying or if you don't have a gauge and it just dies? Either way your truck will die in the middle of nowhere.
unoo1991 6 months ago
@unoo1991 I don't know about you but most people would like a couple hours of warning to try and do something rather than just have a car die suddenly with no warning. What normal person wouldn't want a warning? - Would you drive a car that might die while passing a semi on a two lane road with cars coming at you? - Come on use your head -some warning is better than none - stop flogging a dead horse
carquestions 6 months ago
@carquestions I do use my head. How about you just check the battery before you go on a road trip. I don't know about you but I take care of my car to prevent situations like the one you mentioned. I am also willing to bet that the average person wouldn't even notice the battery gauge drop if the alternator were to die randomly. Anyway I guess it is just personal preference.
unoo1991 6 months ago
@unoo1991 I agree the average person wouldn't notice the gauge - THAT'S WHY THE JEEP SHOULD HAVE A WARNING LIGHT - or are you suggesting the average person wouldn't notice a red light and the average person should be carrying a voltmeter with them where ever they go? -
carquestions 6 months ago
@carquestions If you go on a long road trip then check the battery before you go. Its that simple. I also said the average person probably would not notice the gauge drop. I never said anything about a warning light. Anyway my car does not have a voltage gauge and I have never had an issue.
unoo1991 6 months ago
@unoo1991 Well I did say the Jeep doesn't have a warning light or gage - so how would the average person "check" a battery? Your mom for instance - is she going to buy a voltmeter or just stare at it?
carquestions 6 months ago
@carquestions honestly it isn't my problem if someone cannot check their battery. if they want the can just google it. My mom would simply ask my dad. Otherwise the car can be taken into a shop to be checked. Sure it costs money to bring it in but its better to be safe then sorry. If you take care of your car, your car will take care of you. Its that simple.
unoo1991 6 months ago
@unoo1991 Why do all that stuff - if your out looking to buy a vehicle just pick one of the others - they all have a warning light or gage
carquestions 5 months ago
@carquestions Hmm maybe because not everyone is going to go buy a new vehicle tomorrow. And why wouldn't you do that if you can prevent your battery from dying in the middle of nowhere or prevent your engine from stalling when your trying to pass a semi truck.
unoo1991 5 months ago
@unoo1991 Guess you missed the video - its from MotorTrend on the new Jeep - for people wanting to buy a new SUV - He should've mentioned you need to check the battery/charging system before taking it on a long trip or to MOAB - since it doesn't come with a warning light or gage.
carquestions 5 months ago
@carquestions checking the battery should be a standard procedur before you go on a long trip. I'm done arguing about this. If you don't want to check the battery before you go on a long trip then don't. If you need a voltage gauge on the dash board then when you buy a new car make sure it has one. I have never had an issue and I don't have a voltage gauge.
unoo1991 5 months ago
@unoo1991 To sum up I'd say a $40,000+ new vehicle should come with a warning light or gage (since it is the law) and you think it's unnecessary since people should check the charging system themselves. I guess they could also signal with their arms when turning and Chrysler/Fiat could save a few bucks by eliminating the turn signals and brake lights.
carquestions 5 months ago
@carquestions i didn't say it was unnecessary. I said one should check the battery before they go on a long road trip to make sure it is still good. Also, if it is the law to put a warning light in then there is a warning light in there.
unoo1991 5 months ago
@carquestions go to ask,why you'd think it's law ? more to the point though,an average person can't change the battery anyway as it's under the front seat and requires removal.so there's a lot more to owning this vehicle than meets the eye.I agree with you though about the light,don't believe it's law though.

@carquestions look at the link you sent me and look at the last Amendment(s) published May 15, 2006, in 71 FR 27971.... battery image is on table 1 and clearly states 'If a symbol is used, each symbol provided pursuant to this paragraph must be substantially similar in form to the symbol as it appears in Table 1 or Table 2'.which means if you do supply a battery indicator it must look like the symbol in table 1 or 2.it doesn't say it's law to use one it's only law to how it must look.
mahatmacoatmahandbag 4 months ago
@mahatmacoatmahandbag Check Footnote 1 to table 1. Maybe in Afghanistan where you're from you don't need a volt gauge or telltale light but they do in the US. If what you said is true - that these indicators are optional - then the same reasoning applies to the coolant, oil pressure etc. correct? Also I'd like to know of just one other car manufacturer that has done this - do you know of any?

@carquestions calm down there old boy,it's human to be wrong.just cause i proved it's not law isn't the end of the world.you supplied me the link remember.I live in Arizona,I am American,hence why I said originally I don't believe it's law.what I said is true as I copied and pasted straight from your link,read it yourself as I supplied the last amendment.I think it's stupid not having a battery light but it's still not law.

@mahatmacoatmahandbag If you are American don't say you live in Afganistan on your Channel info - Americans that are in Afganistan fighting may take offence. Secondly, if you're right, and at this point I'd say at best the language is unclear regarding the one word "if" - what you're saying is that anything in the table including brake failure warning is optional - this is of course obsurd

@fesen2 Looks is not arguable, is just personal taste. But the fact is that the Cayenne costs a whole lot of money more than the jeep, and for that you get a lot more on-road capability (that you don't want because otherwise you'd get a normal car) and no more off-road. The only true SUVs are the Range Rover (the proper one, not the sport), the Merc GL and the Grand Cherokee. And one of them costs a lot less...

what is the difference between 4x2 and 4x4
extremeriga12 8 months ago
@extremeriga12 4x2 is rear wheel drive(two wheels only move) 4x4 is when all wheels move, like awd but you can switch between the two. 4x4 is the way to go for off road. 4x2 is some offroad but not for snow or anything major. the 4x means their is 4 wheels on the vehicle and the x2 or x4 is depending how many wheels are powered(move?

"The Jeep Grand Cherokee can do anything offroad that a Land Rover can do. It's a better on road vehicle than a Land Rover". How about.......NO? I think that correctly replies to what he said.It may be a better on road car but that's only because Jeeps aren't as off road designed as Land Rovers and don't have full time 4wd. I would put my Discovery II up against that any day and leave that sissie Jeep in the dust! You don't buy a discovery for on road ability, you buy it to beat everyone offroad

@foreverford11 FYI even though Jeep came out before land rover, they weren't 4-wheel drive. Land Rover had the first. The early jeeps were 2-wheel drive. So jeep wasn't the first 4x4.

@thecruisinplaya you're talking bollocks.,land rover came out in 1948.in fact The first Land Rover prototype, later nicknamed 'Centre Steer', was built on a Jeep chassis in 1947 by Maurice Wilks.Early in 1941, Willys-Overland demonstrated the jeeps off-road capability by having it drive up the steps of the United States Capitol.this was the worlds first 4X4.all jeeps in the 2nd world war where 4X4,a war that ended 3 years before land rovers birth and I'm british by the way ha ha.
mahatmacoatmahandbag 7 months ago 2
@mahatmacoatmahandbag I may have had the history wrong but that's not what my original comment was about. I'm just saying that Land Rovers are geared lower and generally more offroad suited than jeeps. The winning 4x4 really comes down to the driver, but theoretically if you had drivers with the same skill in both and put them head to head, I'm saying the Land Rover would win hands down.
thecruisinplaya 7 months ago
@thecruisinplaya. Land Rovers are more offroad suited than Jeeps, Not true. Land Rovers will never be as good as Jeep On Rock. When it comes down to Mud, i dont know because no one has ever put a Jeep and a Land Rover head to head in Mud. And about the early Jeeps being 2-wheel drive not true.1940-1941: Bantam build 2700 light 4x4s, early "Jeeps". Do research before you talk out your ass kid.

They shouldn't put an engine called Pentastar in a vehicle which American Motors Corp have Chrysler all the off road and 4x4 capability for.

The only mopar a Jeep is is AMC MotorParts. Don't bother leaving an ignorant comment. It's compete AMC off road technology.
