2010 Jeep Patriot Limited 4x4 Review

2010-04-13T09:18:00.001-06:00

Automotiveaddicts.com recently did a test drive & review of the 2010 Jeep Patriot Limited 4x4. They seemed impressed by the performance, capability, and comfort of the Patriot:

The 2010 Jeep Patriot Limited 4X4 is a tremendous value, combining the packaging, safety features and interior flexibility of a sport utility with performance, handling and 29mpg highway fuel economy. With its combination of fun, freedom, utility and best-in-class Jeep 4X4 capability, the 2010 Patriot sets apart from the growing compact sport utility competition.

Innovative technology affords Jeep Patriot more capability than any other vehicle in its class. Jeep Patriot is available in three drive configurations: front wheel drive, Freedom Drive I (a full-time, active four-wheel-drive system with lock mode), and Freedom Drive II Off-Road (a full-time, active 4X4 system with best-in-class 19:1 low ratio that provides true Jeep 4X4 Trail Rated capability).

The Trail Rated Jeep Patriot equipped with Freedom Drive II that I tested sits one inch high than non-Trail Rated versions and meets Jeep off-road capability requirements for traction, water fording, articulation, maneuverability and ground clearance. The off-road package's 17in. wheels/tires contribute to the Trail Rated Patriot's 9in. ground clearance, 29.6-degree approach angle, 34.2-degree departure angle and 23.3-degree breakover angle. In addition, Trail Rated models have additional body sealing and high-mounted drivetrain vents in order to support 19in. water-fording capability along with skid plates under the engine/transmission oil pan, and fuel tank.

Interested in joining a 4x4 club?

2010-02-27T10:46:00.006-07:00

The Mountaineers are a family oriented club, organized in 1965, to promote and enjoy the recreation of four wheeling. Four wheeling involves driving a four wheel drive vehicle on roads and trails which are impassable to normal street vehicles. It's often referred to as " off-roading ," but in most cases we use marked "roads" in order to protect the areas through which we travel. occasionally we play "off-road" on designated sand dunes or ice where it is a bit tough to "stay on the trail" since there is none.

Unlike the images portrayed by mass media and environmental groups, we are concerned with conserving the natural beauty of the State of Colorado and anywhere we four wheel. We believe strongly in the principles of Tread Lightly! We also participate in both the Adopt-a-Trail and the Adopt-A-Highway programs. We work closely with the US Forest Service in maintaining trails, many of our members participate in the Trail Host program. We assist our community, Fort Collins, Colorado, by providing transportation during severe winter weather for employees and some patients of "critical need" groups like Poudre Valley Hospital, Good Samaritan Retirement Village and Meals-On-Wheels and by assisting groups like the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army in transporting supplies and the like to and from remote areas during crises.

Why Join the Mountaineers?

You get the opportunity to four wheel at least once a month with a group of like-minded four wheelers.
You get to meet new people who love to play in the beautiful Colorado back country.
You get to promote our sport through organized events like the American Rock Crawling Association's and the CoA4WDCI Jeep Raffle.
You get to keep trails open through membership in United Four Wheel Drive Association and the Colorado Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs.
You get to help clean up the local trails we use the most through the Adopt-A-Trail Program of the US Forest Service!

Four Wheeler Magazine Names Wrangler Rubicon Best of Decade

2010-02-19T12:54:00.005-07:00

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon was recently named the Best 4x4 Vehicle of the Decade by Four Wheeler Magazine:

Four Wheeler magazine editors have named the Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon and Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon the Best 4x4 Vehicle of the Decade, while calling out the four-door Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as the decade's most significant 4x4 vehicle.

"Jeep vehicles have earned many awards in the almost 70-year history of the iconic brand, but few have been as prestigious as these accolades from the editors at Four Wheeler magazine," said Mike Manley, President and CEO - Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is clearly the most capable production vehicle on the planet, and in four-door Unlimited form, families can enjoy the combination of capability, freedom, space and comfort that only Jeep can provide."

In recognizing the 2007-present Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as the Best 4x4 of the Decade, Four Wheeler magazine editor Doug McColloch said, "The JK (current version) Wrangler represented a big step up in on-road ride and handling for Jeep's flagship ride, yet it's off-road capability wasn't compromised in the least. If anything, it was only enhanced. Considering how competent in the dirt the previous-gen(eration) TJ was, that was no small feat for Chrysler engineers to pull off. But somehow they managed to do it, creating the decade's best four-wheel drive in the process."

Four Wheeler editors refer to creation of four-door Wrangler as "...one of smartest product moves any automotive company has ever made"
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited remains the only four-door convertible on the market
Four-door icon delivers class-leading off-road capability, everyday practicality and open-air fun
Recognition comes on the heels of Jeep brand being named Top Domestic Brand in Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com® 2010 Residual Value Study
Nearly 60 percent of Wrangler sales are four-door Wrangler Unlimited model

Auto Show Visitors Impressed by Jeep Rubicon

2010-02-12T09:08:00.002-07:00

The 2010 Jeep Rubicon is making an impression on visitors to the 2010 Chicago Auto Show. John Dugan of Time Out Chicago had this to say about his Rubicon experience:

"As convention center experiences go, taking a ride in the Jeep Rubicon is up there with seeing Radiohead. Definitely get in the line for this one. The jungle-ready Rubicon has also kinds of insane drive train features and clearance that enable it to climb hills and descend them (with no brakes applied) and drive tightly at crazy angles. I don’t know the technical terms but I kept saying “whoah” and “wow” as the trained pro led us around the obstacle course."

Demand for Remote Start Increases 20 Percent at Chrysler Group LLC

2009-12-16T10:15:00.004-07:00

Drivers, remote-start your engines!

More and more Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram customers are adding the ultra-convenient Remote Start feature to their vehicles. In 2009, Mopar sales for Remote Start are up 20 percent. Nearly 90 percent of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles are available with Remote Start.

Those customers who want to add the feature after purchase, or who buy a used vehicle without Remote Start, will turn to Mopar for the feature. "Remote Start is becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity," said Pietro Gorlier, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care. "As we head into winter and the holiday gift-giving season, we expect even more of our customers to warm up to Remote Start."

Drivers with Remote Start may start their vehicle from up to 300 feet away, allowing the engine to warm up and the interior of the vehicle to heat or cool based on the pre-set temperature. The engine will stay on for 10 minutes and will shut off if a key is not inserted into the ignition. Unlike other aftermarket offerings, Mopar's Remote Start system utilizes proven, quality-tested factory components and is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle without any splicing or cutting of existing wires. In addition, Mopar integrates and combines the function into one key fob, eliminating the need for excess fobs.

Remote Start is fully covered under the vehicle's bumper-to-bumper new-vehicle warranty or Mopar's 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty, whichever is most advantageous to the customer. Remote Start is available on 2008-2010 model-year Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles. Depending on the vehicle, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) ranges from $235 to $299, plus installation. The installation process takes approximately one hour and may be done at any Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram store.

If you are interested in adding remote start to your vehicle please visit Galeen or Bob at our service department.
