100% agree!

That full Gladiator helps with traction no doubt. Good to see people actually take them out for some wheeling.

Very hard to beat a Jeep off-road!

Since I got my first WK2 Grand Cherokee Limited in 2022, and now my Grand Cherokee TrailHawk, i’ve been all over the US Mexico and BC as a full-time Overlander. I have gotten everywhere I need to go as an Overlander an adventure videographer. And the only vehicle that I have encountered in my travels with more capability than what I had or required was a Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ. I’ve noticed when it gets really slippery and sloppy my WK2 actually does better than my friends, Toyota Tacoma and my other friends, Ford Ranger FX4. All in all I’m very happy with my Trailhawk, I just wish I wasn’t so upside down on the car loan from buying it during the pandemic.

Sucks the air suspension craps out in winter weather only reason I didn't get a trailhawk.i really liked the styling and 4wd system

Awesome, wish I had been there!

Gladiator is on a different level than the 4Runner and Grand Cherokee. The Gladiator, Wrangler, and Bronco are competitors. The 4Runner competes with the Grand Cherokee.

Around 10 minutes and there’s a part where you can really see the weakness of the gladiator because of the hangover and departure. It was really disappointing to see it hung up on the forerunner in the Cherokee just drove over. I’m considering buying one and that’s the main thing I was concerned about and it’s so obviously it’s gonna hold me back. Maybe if I had a bunch of skid plates on the bottom and it just made it completely flat and it wouldn’t get hung up.

Having the lockers on all the time makes it a bit sketchy because you slide so much. The traction control is better to use for most obstacles and only step up to lockers when you really need it. The side to side slide tendency is probably going to be way lower without the lockers being used constantly

As for That last obstacle- no way man! Not worth it…

As usual a great video showcasing the different capabilities and personalities of vehicles and drivers on a technical trai! On to the next one…I’ll join you if I’m in the States.

10:05 might as well be a limo that length!

LOL, that wide angle lens made that Jeep look a mile long 10:00

That other Gladiator feels like it's super heavy. I wonder if that rack in the back is actually detrimental to the offroad performance.

Oh definitely any added weight is horrible

Gladiator has the best traction on the planet. As long as you can swing the departure/ break over ... It's a beast ! Can't beat it. This is like rolling rock hill from 4wd is life channel at famous reading outdoors. The only thing that could be better would be rego rex on a gladiator. Something like that

do the vehicles have the same tires

This is a fantastic video

Need to take better lines on some of these trials, from a 2000 mile view. :)

Would love to see similar video but all vehicles completely stock.

Well, that went pretty much as expected. Very capable vehicles but the Gladiator is on another level. Brad - one thing on the GCs with quadra-lift: when youre in OR2 and spin the wheels fast for momentum, will it drop you down to OR1 even though the vehicle isnt going over 18mph, but the wheels may be going 25mph? I've never been in a situation to try thay yet in my GC Trailhawk.

No, because you aren't spinning your wheels at that speed for more than a few moments. Mine has never come out of either off-road settings because of wheelspin.

​@Japplesnap Makes sense in that example, but I mean remove the rocks and say it was a snowy hill instead with wheelspin for minutes at a time. Would it actually drop you and kill your clearance? I've been kicking around the idea of dumping QL and going standard suspension with an OME lift and that would help justify the cost to the wife :D

@@smudge1619 I don't know, but I spent more time snow wheeling than anything else and I've never had mine come out of OR2 or OR 1 for that matter. But I guess in theory it's possible. My thoughts is that Jeep probably thought of that and it probably takes a signal from multiple wheel speed sensors to make the air suspension drop down.

Which trail is that first climb?

They call it a Grand Cherokee because every time you bring it to the mechanic it costs at least a grand

My dude in the 4runner just needed to turn on crawl control on that loose gravel hill. Set the speed and just steer. Its a literal cheat mode.

@Japplesnap

Crawl control isn't going to find traction where it doesn't exist. BTW, the Grand Cherokee has the same thing, but it's part of the hill ascent/decent control.

@quincyjones725

Its function is for that exact situation. The gladiator found the traction, so it was there. The Toyota ATRAC and Crawl Control is not a apples to apples comparison to Jeep's. Id be more than happy to go toe to toe with mine.

@@quincyjones725 I had a 4Runner before I got my Jeep. ATRAC is the exact same thing as Jeep's brake based traction control. Literally the same. Crawl control is also the same. Jeep's works on incline or decline and can be controlled with the shift paddles on 1 mph increments.

@quincyjones725

The similarities are only with the fact that they use the brakes. There isnt much debate around the off-roading community that the Toyota system and the Land Rover one is the most effective. Your choice is your choice however. I'm just saying that crawl control would have made ease of that situation.
