That Patriot has the FDII drivetrain, throw that into 4WD mode and low gears and the brake differential would make the Jeep go through that obstacle with no problem. Two wheels up in the air the Patriot still gets traction. I say the driver didn't know how to drive his Patriot. I own a lifted Wrangler and a Patriot FDII and the Patriot does surprise me sometimes, it goes places you wouldn't think possible. It's all on knowing how to drive your car.

Before you post comments about me not knowing how to drive my vehicle, read all the posts... I made a post about this earlier. The vehicle was in 4-Lock, and likely Low too - I can't remember now, this was a year ago. I'm very well versed in the Patriot capabilities and how to drive the vehicle, thanks. If you know so much about off-roading, you'll know that pictures and videos don't tend to accurately represent obstacles.

This was a while ago, and I was under camera pressure, but I'm pretty sure I went into the moguls in regular 4-Lock. Once it wouldn't go, I put it in Low 4-Lock. Could have gone in without 4-Lock and once stopped, put it in 4-Lock (not Low). Unsure. If I'm out that way again this summer, I will re-shoot the experiment.

@kddcc yes land rovers come with CDL and front and rear lockers then dont need to come with off road tires because they still do good off road with their ABS and TC systems.their approach and departure angles are the same or only 1 degree off of a jeep.jeeps are not so cheap either and it depends if you get them used or new and its an investment

[kddcc]

@iENJOIskating209 just because land rover has more clearance and power doesnt make it a better off roader...ive seen some a 4 cyl jeep go through some sick stuff before. but im not even sure if LRs come with front and rear locking diffs, they dont come with offroad tires "street slicks", they dont have very good aproach angle, and who takes a 40k+ vehichle offroad when you can get a great jeep for half that.

@kddcc land rover.has more clearance and more power

[kddcc]

@iENJOIskating209 my bad, when i said that i ment that rubicon wranglers are the best vehichle you can buy new and take off road, when compared to other new SUV/Trucks.

[iENJOIskating209]

my truck would have done this in 4low with open diffs and no CDL its so easy and i can see its easy ny just looking at how far the front bumper is off the ground

@kddcc jk's are not the most capable stock

@sanmusa I would have to agree. I don't think the driver knew how to drive the Jeep Patriot.

@Luigirepublic

Sometimes having tires more appropriate for the terrain helps too ;-)
