Great video. That Compass has seen more off-road miles in its first 3000 miles, than most will ever travel. Bravo.

More relaxing episodes like this, please.

Will you be doing long term reviews on the vehicles you purchased for the show? The 4runner, Maverick and the Jeep. I'm curious to see how long the average new car goes without major faults or repairs.

Loved the episode! I definitely need to do this trail! Merry Christmas Ryan and team!

Wow that canyon drive was amazing. Never seen a road like that before.

Have to say, never thought I'd be looking at a full video of basically just a trail drive but I fully enjoyed it! Love Jeep too so... 😊 Good stuff!

Road trip exploration videos that combine a review of the vehicle's performance are such a nice mix. Thanks for showing this adventure!

Always appreciate your videos - not just simple car reviews, but “real life” experiences to prove it. “Driving Sports” indeed!

Absolutely love my 2018 Jeep Compass 4x4. I have taken it on so many SoCal off-road trails and the four-wheel-drive system combined with 29” Perrelli AT+ tires have never let me down. I’ve gotten a lot of desert pinstripes though lol😀

“Boy this place would be perfect for an ambush” killed me

Another great video. Can't wait to try the Titus Canyon adventure when we get out Outback Wilderness

Beautiful landscape

Your videos helped influence me buy this exact make/model/year back in March 2022. So far 15,000 miles im very pleased everything from the interior to its everyday road driving ability. Its made navigating some of the worst winter days in Michigan seem effortless with its snow mode.

Beautiful review n video on Jeep Compass....i just loved it

"This road is so smooth! Oh sh*te!!!!" lol

So cool! Can't wait to do this trail in my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.

Yes the powertrain is such a big oversight on Jeep's part that it is a deal breaker for me. The powertrain is really that bad!

I lol'd at the comedic timing of 16:40

I've been meaning to take out my SR5 for a nice little adventure nothing crazy and this seems to fit the bill. Excellent video!

I plan on getting an Outback just so I can do trails like this. Love your videos.

This is cool. New place to put on my list to take my Wilderness Forester to.

So amazing!!!

Beautiful drive

I had 2019 Compass Trailhawk. Great little Jeep, explored Anza Borrego, Joshua Tree, etc. Did great. I had the Toyo Open Country AT3’s in 225/65/17 and the tires really elevated it’s performance. But my trip from Humboldt CA to near San Diego made me realize just how gutless it truly was. With the slightly bigger tires and all our gear, it just struggled so hard in the altitude and faster highway sections. I traded it in and actually made $1000 because of trade in values right now. I upgraded to a slightly older but low mileage 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. No comparison. It’s 1000x better. And the funny thing is that I averaged 22 mpg in the compass mixed, now I’m seeing 18-20 in the GC, and I’m on true 32 inch Toyo AT3’s. So yeah, the compass is a cool rig, but it NEEDS a better engine! Thanks for the video.

Titus Canyon is one of my favorite off-road experiences...there is nothing like it and how incredible it is. I did it in my F-250 and it handled it perfectly; it's a trail that needs high clearance rather than 4WD

"OH! That was a rock I didn't see." Me either. Any of them. Are you sure this Trailhawk suspension doesn't need more travel and/or compliance? Enjoy the holidays, Ryan.

We rode our gravel bikes on this road in November. What a sick ride!!!

That place looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the location!

I have really enjoyed this trip (video) congratulations I love your channel

Great video!!

this is where the Jeep Compass belongs! be safe out there.

Thanks for the "ride" through the canyon. Incredible. Also thanks for the information, I am seriously considering purchasing

Beautiful 🤩

COOL SHIRT!! Merry Christmas!

You’re right near where I grew up. Thank goodness I ended up being stationed in San Diego as my last tour of duty cuz growing up that heat was atrocious! Lol

An amazing trip, would love to have done that. I sure like my 2020 compass trailhawk. More videos like this, ease. Enjoy, stay safe.

Merry Chistmas Ryan and Team! Another great video with awesome sceneries and gorgeous pictures!

This journey is a great inspiration. I should also do this.

Would love to see this compared to the bronco sport Badlands on your off road test track. Great purchase. Can't wait to see more.

Real life test...professional review...loved it...From Mumbai India

Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I love your videos

Cool..Cool...Cool!!!! I have to try that.

Compass trailhawks are actually pretty awesome. Only downside I noticed was build quality in the interior but this new generation is looking way better

Beautiful area. So peaceful. We don't have that here. 😭

im taking my fj there for sure

It looks really straightforward.

I want to go death valley now! Reminds me of Anza Borrego CA beautiful place

Nice video :). I bought a 21’ Cherokee Latitude lux (though 2WD an with the 3.2l V6) a few months ago. It was not at all the car I was looking for…I was looking at the Tiguan and the Tucson Hybrid but they just weren’t available in the trim/model’s I wanted AND were 3-5k over MSRP. Was getting frustrated in my search and fell over the Jeep at 3k under MSRP (and it really was when I got to the dealer and no other bs), test drove it and bought it the same day. Also a lower trim than I was looking for but checked enough of the boxes of things I wanted. Have been very happy so far. I love going to DV. Have been there on several trips on my Triumph T120 with a motorcycle group (Japanese vintage and SoCal Norton clubs), though I have skipped Titus Cyn when the adventure bikes in the group have gone that route… Would my 2WD Cherokee be ok on Titus Cyn (assuming no rain/recent rain and good general weather and road conditions) or would I be pushing my luck? When I have had this one a few years I will probably trade it in on a higher trim 4WD version.

"I feel like I'm going to be attacked by sand people or Jawas." LMAO!!! Ohh man!!! That brings me back to the late 70s, and my parents taking us kids to the movie theater to watch "Star Wars!!!"

Nice video. I think this is the appropriate level of soft road that CUVs should be able to handle, provided you have decent all terrains to help avoid a puncture, and a fullsize spare. A car could likely handle this, but would be a little more worrisome and should go slower, plus you can't really find all terrains for them

This would have been really fun to see in your Mav too

Merry Christmas Ryan, from Ethiopia .

Love the Spanish guitar, suits the desolate, picturesque drive perfectly.

Jersey potholes you ain’t kidding pal 😂 been here most of my life….. also was a stretch of time where my mom got a few flat tires from driving over nails in like a few years….

I really hope they do more with this platform to compete better with the badlands bronco sport

Rocks really have it out for ya lately.

A little bit more about the suspension work on washboard, handling, speed, noise level, interior rattling would be nice to hear too during such kind of road trip reviews. How good are the headlights in the dark as well. Anyway a very pleasing video, reminds me of the places nearby Almaty, Qazaqstan

Ryan I swear, your vids give me agita! However...I. Can't. Stop. Watching. Them. 😀 Thanks for saying the trail is Westbound only, maybe include that nugget earlier in the video. It will allow us space to fret over something else. LOL! #CityDriverOnly (Side Note: Awesome video quality, the angles captured were first class.)

wow, was just there in my tacoma 2 weeks ago. Was a great trail, loved the ghost town.

I like the Compass, specially because I can’t afford a Grand Cherokee. Im hoping to learn more about the reliability with your videos!🙏

Excellent content! Maybe you should be a tour guide?!?

what was your speed with the washboard? Did speed help? RE bottom of the canyon - yeah, somehow thinking you might like to spend a bit more time in NM. Those are the roads I was mentioning. Glad you showed the Jeep on these types of roads.

Granted it's not the hot season, but 2 liters really isn't that much water. I grab a gallon or 2 or from the supermarket and throw them in the back when we go on anything longer than a day trip.

wow i didn't know this road existed, can't wait to go one day. will you be reviewing the ford explorer timberline any time soon?

The compass has a adaptive suspension... well kind of. It’s a “frequency selective dampening “ suspension with a off road tune. So it should be excellent over washboard while it adapts to the bumps. Made me kind of sad you aired down I was interested in seeing how it would do. Chrysler also uses a version of it on the dart GT it’s a adaptive suspension with a sport tune. The Fiat 500L has a Koni branded version. Fun fact Ferrari uses a shock from koni that’s frequency dampened as well.

Hi just wondering what those “Thud” sounds were? Is it large rocks hitting the underbody or the car hitting the bump stops or just the luggage inside the car? Also Happy Holidays !!

Jeeze, I'm just curious how many weeks out of the year you're away from home base. Seems like a lot of adventures in your job.

Ryan we’re dying for you to put it on a lift and show us the underside after hitting all those rocks!

Can u give us a review of this trailhawk on city roads / daily commute

Maybe I missed it, but I'd love to see a video like this using the Ford Maverick. Especially the hybrid model as I don't see a lot of videos with it and it's definitely the more popular model.

Whenever you reference difficulty levels of trails where are you pulling that data from?

Do you think there’s anything on this trail that required the off-road features of the compass? Could I do it in a RAV4? I didn’t see any glaring obstacles so far in the video, but I’m curious.

Shocks/struts, whatever it has, held up on the washboard?

Great drive! Other than cost, any reason for not choosing a Cherokee with the 2.0L turbo?

Great vid. Looks like u could take a 2wd Grand Cherokee on that road and get by, no?

The Garmin Inreach is a great product. My wife and I have had one for several years. About tires and rims. I believe that you cannot use the wheel nuts for alloy rim on the spare with a steel rims. My 20 Tundra had a tire with a defect and I told the dealer to put on the spare as a temporary solution until a replacement came for my alloy rim. They put wheel nuts on for a steel rim. I had never thought about that. Now, I have five nuts in a bag 🎒 in my truck if I need to use the spare.

In Brazil, we have the version gasoline with a 1.3 turbo 177 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque, with acelerations 0-62 in 9.3 secons. Hes a much faster vehicle, but is only FWD. For a 4WD, we have a diesel with 167 hp and 260 bl-ft of torque, more compatible with off road.

Let's be honest, any SUV can do this road, no need for the trailhawk in particular. That's the roads I like, perfect for easy family trip.

Would an AWD HRV be a more reliable option for "mild adventures" like this one? Would an HRV be able to do the previous video climbing a mountain trail? Would love to get 200k miles over 10 years on the next vehicle. Not sure if the smaller jeeps (see: fiats) are up to the task.

Do you think the Kia Seltos would be able to handle this road? I’m planning a trip out to California in October and would love to come visit this spot! Also is there any spots with soft sand or is it mostly solid ground? I got myself stuck in sand before and that wasn’t fun…

Will there be a review of the 2023 compass?

Are you guys also having the issue with the Uconnect lowering the volume, loosing the audio and doing funky stuff? I understand there should be an over the air update but wondering how many people have this issue? Other than stereo everything else is great

Awesome video. I have really silly question = at 20:28 (or around there) if something happens to your car and you get stuck, do you call AAA? Or what's the plan in case you get stuck (do you have someone following you)?

Loved the video... curious would a stock 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6r with A.T tires be able to do the route?

I saw someone run that route with a nissan altima with GA tags they made it through somehow

What is the better vehicle ford bronco sport or this Jeep Compass?

Would hate to have a vehicle come the other way. Those are some narrow roads and blind turns

How long did it take to drive through the canyons?

this is a great video, love your presentation, if you really purchased this vehicle it be great to get a follow up video in a year or 2 on how well it holds up.

Awesome location - how were you able to fly a drone as this entire area is inside the National Park where drones are banned.

Is deflating the tires necessary if you go a little slower?

What do you do when you encounter someone coming the other way and you're on one of those narrow sections that are like a ledge on the steep hillside?

That canyon looks like you'll see a gang of cowboys on horses throwing up dust as Indians rain arrows down at them from the top of the canyon.

How fast can you drive in 4wheel drive in these?

Do you have the map of that trail

I have a question and this goes for anyone reading this. I am a college student looking to get a 4x4 Midsize Truck or SUV. Currently I have a 2015 Dodge Dart that I’m looking to trade in. Just wanted to get different opinions. I also live in the PNW

Man just the idea of being alone all the way down in such a remote place gives me the shivers !!

I saw the rock

Every time he says how great the road is, he hits a bump?!

"please jeep more power"..... Honest question, how many time did you actually need more power on this trip?
