Jeep Patriot Overview Manual - page 5
FIVE PERFORMANCE CATEGORIES
are designed to prove every Jeep
®
4x4
vehicle's Trail Rated® capability.
>>
TRACTION. Trail Rated traction
helps you maintain controlled forward
motion on snowy back roads and icy
bridges. You can climb steep sand
dunes and master muddy two-tracks.
Others may fear untamed terrain,
but your Trail Rated Patriot has the
traction within to master all kinds of
topography and driving conditions.
>>
ARTICULATION. Patriot’s suspension
systems enhance on- and off-road
performance by maximizing flexibility,
axle articulation, and wheel travel. This
standard indicates that, when one or
more wheels are elevated, the Jeep
®
4x4 system helps the others stay on
the ground longer to keep you moving.
>>
MANEUVERABILITY. Every Patriot
is born with the athletic ability
to navigate narrow gaps, dodge
emergency situations, and avoid
cosmetic damage to underbody
sills, thanks to precision steering
and optimized wheelbases.
>>
GROUND CLEARANCE. Head out
knowing that your Trail Rated Patriot
has optimized approach, departure,
and breakover angles designed to
clear logs, rocks, and uneven ground.
Your undercarriage is protected,
too, with forged skid plates that
cover your vehicle’s most valuable
underbody elements.
>>
WATER FORDING.

* Traverse
that stream with confidence, thanks
to additional electrical and body
seals, plus a high air-intake location.
Patriot has the capability to safely
manage in up to 19 inches of water.
Always inspect all waterways before
proceeding, just to make sure there
are no unforeseen pitfalls.
It's the
recognized standard
for off-road capability. The
available Trail Rated® fortitude of Jeep®
Patriot helps protect you from the world
and its worries. On the road or on the
trail, Patriot works to safely get you
through the challenges mother
Nature sets before you.
