Good sfuff here.

Love how thorough your reviews are. Keep up the good work.

"electronic limited slip" meaning electrically engaged limited slip, or an "e-diff", meaning the brakes are actuated to emulate having real limited slip diff when it is, in fact, an open diff?

Jeep has been dealing with parts shortages with the rear ELSD and has built Grand Cherokees that were supposed to have QuadraDrive2 instead with QuadraTrack2 and given a customer credit for the missing rear ESLD. That must be the case with your test unit since the rear diff didn’t show a locked symbol when you were in rock mode (26:40 in the video).

@@ethanmonat ELSD in QD2 is combo of variable lsd and true mechanical locker in one, Eaton manufacture offers the whole thing either automatically controlled by vehicle's sensors or manual locker button engagement, unfortunately automakers often choose locker auto engagement only just like in Grand Cherokee... But apparently as said in video the Jeep still has break based traction control, each is probably used by different modes i would guess

You didn't know Jeeps were this capable??? What rock did you just crawl from under? LOL Jeeps are arguably THE most capable offroad [civilian] vehicles you can buy.

@@tayl0rd553 he didn't know JEEPs were this capable??? Really???

he doesn't state it's practicality. not only can it get you up a mountain, it can also get you over a mountain.

If you want to see just how capable the GC is, watch some of the videos Prodigal Overland has on youtube. He puts the GC to the test more than in this video.

It’s overrated. It’s actually an annoyance and inhibits your stress free driving ability.

@@jerrymyahzcat Which vehicle/system were you using?

that is a big negative.

@@mallninja12 I wasn’t using one. I was referring to the System in the Jeep GC in this review. In this video the the system seems to be more of a pain in the neck and intrusive than useful. However in systems where it’s well implemented I totally agree that it’s underrated.

I built the Dies that make this SUV. I get all the Silent Recalls. A waste of steel.

I imagine not, as its a open differential FWD, so effectively one wheel drive, lol! Gotta be loving that fuel economy with this administration's gas prices! Youch!

did you pay over invoice for that Hybrid Maverick?

@@gosman949 MSRP. I pre-ordered in July 2021 and got it in March of 2022. If I didn't take delivery, my dealer would've sold it to someone else at a markup of at least 5k

@@erwinandfire wow- good job! But I will wait when I can get for less than MSRP. Those days are coming.

The 'S' in MSRP stands for 'suggested'. It was.................................. always a guideline.

We just had the Frontier delivered yesterday.

the Frontier will be a pittance to the Jeep!

@@gosman949 Probably not, the Pro4x comes with a locking diff and while Nissan is the shittiest Japanese brand its still miles ahead of Stellantis. What you get with the Pro4x is what jeep pretends to be with its products.

Damn - when do you expect to get it?

I just bought a 2022 Ford Maverick but I'm a huge fan of that color combo on an Outback Wilderness lol

Not without a matching spare they aren’t. Nor fir towing

One road-trip doesn’t equate to reliable. 😂

Love the idea of having an NHL team, but no time to enjoy it myself.

Air suspension is pretty stiff at full ride height...its also very expensive to fix when it fails, and it will fail. Disconnecting sway bars on an independent suspension vehicle isn't really going to gain you much suspension travel...A-Arms don't give much travel in the first place, and disconnecting a sway bar ain't gonna do much LOL.

@@wildbill23c fun fact. Did you know an aftermarket icon suspension or billsteien suspension instal and parts is between 6 to 10k to install and buy. Similarly it costs a lot to repair as well, similarly priced to the air suspension on this vehicle. Listen folx there’s a lot of old main stay information bits we pass around, but it’s 2022 and times have changed a lot. You can’t just make blanket statements and write things off so easily, do a few googles it’s not hard to find out the information I just spoke on. Also was in Moab with my 2021 bmwx5 with air suspension and talked to a few Toyota folx with tricked out systems and they concur for the most part about cost. The icon suspension on two of the rigs plus all the tires and wheels and beeded rims cost nearly 30k on those trucks. It’s all expensive run what you want have fun, you’d cry if the jeep broke you’d cry if the used off road jeep broke too, just have fun.

I have the new Ford bronco badlands with sway disconnect and it makes a world of difference in articulation. It will take a tire that's a few inches in the air and set it back on the ground.

​@@LafemmebearMusic air suspension doesn't last as long though. True story. 👀😏

@@wildbill23c Wonder if it disconnected under load? Some vehicles need the load off the bar to disconnect.

Jeep Cult family ✌🦆

This was filmed at our private off-road park. I would recommend checking out Old Durr road just outside Ellensburg

@@drivingsports awesome, thanks!

Same reason people buy 2WD Jeeps to begin with...so they can pretend to have a Jeep, but without the Jeep capabilities and to save a few bucks and then quickly spend more than that when they get the thing stuck all the time.

@@wildbill23c best comment on here🤣

I believe it’s an electronic/magnetic module in the center of the bar that couples each wheel when voltage is applied but then can release when necessary to technically have no anti rollbar effect.

yea i dont think this necessarily competes with the GX because the GC is a regular unibody whereas the GX is body on frame..

Unless the lane tracing doesn’t work, like the one I saw nail the tip of an emergency barrier on Interstate 90 a couple weeks ago;(

@@JeepCherokeeful Lane tracing is there to help with fatigue. But it cannot fix stupid lol. When used properly it’s a great tool. When abused, you crash… people need to realize that you may not need FULL concentration with these systems, but the aspect of driving still demands some attention.

In certain models, and I think a couple years ago they actually offer a Rock Trac full time 4WD option in the Wrangler Rubicon.

We added that in a pinned comment earlier.

It works in every mode.

I’d recommend keeping it until we can see what the new 4Runner looks like. (Probably next year.)

If you like crying and being broke get the jeep

What do you dislike about your 4Runner?

@@drivingsports thanks!

@@0HOON0 there's nothing that I dislike about my 4runner. I dislike that I don't use it to it's full potential. At the end of the day, its a grocery getting mall crawler. That's why I think about getting something more comfortable and thats in the 21st century in terms of tech.

Check out our pinned comment. ;)

@@drivingsports Yep, noticed after I spent the time typing the same thing that Jeep told you LOL. Although I prefer the old school Grand Cherokee with a lever for 4WD, no electronic issues to deal with later on when the shift motor fails or gets stuck in a mode and you have to take it to a dealer for repair/replacement. Not an electronics fan....my 2008 Ford Explorer ABS control module failed last winter rendering the vehicle quite useless as it set off a continual warning chime that wouldn't go away, disabled the stability control, traction control, ABS, and made the brakes very questionable if they would work or not, sometimes they would sometimes they wouldn't. The control module is no longer available, so you are stuck with a junk yard replacement, or a $400+ rebuild service and hope they get it right...and you have to have a dealer level scan tool in order to program the module to the vehicle, as well as to bleed the brake system. This was a $2K+ repair with a used part. So...electronics and me aren't exactly on the same page for reliability and repair issues.

For the price point and the facts it’s an off road focused vehicle, not having a standed full size spare shows Jeep is still cutting corners
