It's the most beautiful off-road in the world. The silhouette is perfect.

For the people who hate Chrysler, just a FYI, they test these through much more difficult trails. This is a demonstration for journalist.

great video I like the Jeep!

I’m just drooling on the color coordination alone! And it goes off-road? SOLD

I love to drive the Grand Cherokee

So many people bash the WK2s capabilities. I only have a 19 Laredo E, with one size bigger tires, the basic QT1 4x4...I keep it in sport mode for lower gearing and i climb the same type of hills and go through same type of muddy water, even a wet water pouring down, hill and it climbed it.

Anyone else notice he never moved the QuadraLift into OR1 or OR2? Just draggin the beast over that "Clearance" section. LOLOL

Yeah man, idk what happened here.

Though today's crossover vehicles don't have the articulation of the truck-framed SUV predecessors due to the fully-independent suspension design, they make up for that with well-programmed AWD systems with brake-actuated LSD and locker-like effects to transfer torque to wheels with grip. Thanks so much for uploading this, this is some of the finest crossover vehicle off-road testing I've found on KZread!

Jason Moyle - It's not even a "proper" traditional 4WD, it's a full-time 4WD, which is just a glorified AWD system.

I'm sorry, but I'm sure many off-road enthusiasts would agree, that a "proper 4WD" is a 4WD that is part-time. No center differential, no "full-time 4WD", just a true, honest 4WD system that requires actual driver input to switch from 2WD to 4WD. I love my AWD vehicles, but know very well what constitutes a proper 4WD.

FWIW, it has a rear locker...

This vehicle would gain so much more off road credibility and respect if they just added a rear locker. If they can put it in the Cherokee, they can put it in the Grand Cherokee.

I agree. That is one of the downfalls. Everything else is solid. Must be if they put a true locker it would be a higher price. They would have to charge because they won’t eat profit for customer satisfaction lol

Jeep should've added real Diff lockers, front and rear, to make this GC even more capable. Otherwise, what's the difference between the Trailhawk and an Overland (Other than the colors) because i can get the same options in the Overland.

With the Overland, you don’t get those cheap looking decals and red tow hooks (that look silly on anything except the Wrangler). I know the hood decals are supposed to be functional for sun glare, but I think that’s a load of crap.

It's quadra-drive II system which makes the most difference between trailhawk model and all the rest trims, being equipped as standard! With this system, you don't really need lockers as it transfers power from wheels with no traction to wheel with traction up to 100% to just 1 wheel, in a smoothly unnoticeable manner without any slippage

Goes over pebbles "...you can hear the skid plates scraping, doing their job..." Tests on the Rubicon and Moab are the real deal.

Looks like every KZreadr goes to Lyman trail to film these videos.

Let's be honest here, this trail would be easy for anything with 4x4 and more than four inches of ground clearance.

I use to be big into the rock crawling thing. When the Grand Cherokees went away from solid front axles I rolled my eyes. This is nice, its no hard core rock crawler but the quadra drive II system is quite impressive. Id love to have one for my wife, and steal it early on Saturday mornings using it to get me to my hunting grounds.

I expected way more out of the "trail rated" trail - I feel like any AWD or 4x4 could do this

Terrible video. General comments, keep it steady....no information related to the jeeps capability. Why kind of 4WD allows it to not spin wheels in the air? Why it is good at water fording - sealed electrical connections? Learn something about the product and communicate some information to your readers. This was just a feel good video of you having a a little fun driving light offroad.
