*This video has reached 1M views. Thank you everyone for making it possible* ✌ It was one of the earlier uploads and the 3rd video on our channel to go viral.
I Just love this video 😍.
👍If you agreed. Cheers legends!

one of the few off road videos of the jgc where the drivers actually know what they are doing, no music, no useless talk A+ video
Unlike in most off-roading videos on CZcams, these guys actually know what they're doing.
Glad you liked it 👍
+chansetwo Exactly what I'm trying to say to ppl
@@AussieFourWheelers these jeep would be the worst you could get. Could not think of anything lows... shit box
Hahahaha they have no idea
@Alex K you're exactly right overpriced shitboxes for instance $40,000 for pump and injectors
I would like to congratulate the Jeep driver because he really knows the capabilities of his vehicle. A true master behind the wheel of this Jeep.
This is one of those videos that you found by accident or was recommended by the algorithm but for sure you are glad to had stumble upon it. Personally those are two unmatched vehicles however both did perfectly fine! Enjoyable video from start to finish!
All that brand hate. So much wasted energy.
Lovely video and very nice driving. Both models seem to be in very capable hands, and it goes to show with the right driver it really doesn't need massive lifts, aggressive tires and a heavy right foot to cover trails like this.
Thanks for a balanced comment.
@@AussieFourWheelers remd
The Jeep in this video is not a HEMI, it is a V6 with traction control.
Jeep made it look easy.. love it.
I'm getting a 2015 Laredo 4x4. It's good to see that (with good tyres) it's just as competent in the bush as I thought.
I use to drive my mother's 2013 Grand Cherokee back when I first got my license.. Being in Canada it was tremendously amazing during winter, super comfortable rallying dirt roads at high speeds lol, and never left me stranded once
Никогда и подумать не мог что Чероки на такое способен.
Спасибо за видео....
im impressed by the capability of the cherokee
totally agree, same here.
Grand cherokee
With that traction control, it can do pretty crazy things
Love my wk2, once you go Jeep, you never get back.
This video reinforces why I'm not upgrading wheels/tires on my wk2. For one, its my daily driver and two, its still fully capable for whatever I'll be putting it through 4 times a year.
Amazing how good these cars are off road, especially while driven by experience drivers. Well done!
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it.
It's been a while I'm seeing experienced drivers doing some casual off roading
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍
Great video. Still learning how to drive my Grand Cherokee.
Great video. Team JGC! One of the videos you can watch over and over again admiring the exploits of the WK2. Aside for the Quadra trac, the approach and departure angles were superior here.
Not taking sides.
But HOLY SQUEAKING BATMAN! I had to turn the volume down @2:00!
In stark contrast, from 4:10 to 6:20 all I heard was rain.
Nice rocky tracks, can really see the traction control of the Jeep working, good driving, enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
No probs. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I am impressed with how much control the Jeep maintained. It was thinking how to best climb in every situation, putting the power exactly where it wanted it and the air suspension leveled it out perfectly. The ironic thing is that the Cherokee is really a crossover always has been.
+Bruce B Its a Laredo, it doesn't have air suspension
The Jeep Grand Cherokee do it with a street tires. It´s amazing.
I was impressed with both vehicles - I love the styling of the Jeep - also the drivers in this video are so bloody good !
I love my Jeep GC and have great respect for the Patrol.
Im very impressed with the Jeep performance for a luxury SUV, well done Jeep!
Jeep looks comfortable. Confident of its ability
RagingTiger
Now the just need to make it reliable and look after all there coustomers..
I have a 2012 Jeep GC and it’s reliable. I just keep up with maintenance of course. I also have a 04 wrangler and 11 compass, no problems.
@@edsil5754 you must be one of the only few lucky ones mate we bought a brand new JK Jeep Wrangler diesel Auto 4 door in 2010 was the biggest Shitbox i of ever owned
Coming from someone who uses a 2011 Grand Cherokee for offloading one of the biggest factors is having the right tires to get the job done. I personally use sub-terrain tires because it gives a combination of a highway tire and a off road tire. For optimal performance using a All-Terrain tire is the obvious best option.
No, the biggest factor is having a driver knowing what they are doing.
I own a 2019 grand cherokee .. but really love the style and the old school tec on the nissan. That car is actually very capable. Great vid and amazing trail guys 👍
Thanks a lot. Glad you liked the video.
Why can't everyone just enjoy the sight of a couple of people out enjoying 4WDriving FFS
they are. look at the comments
+Oz Bloke 👌
+Equim Yes, most people are 👍
Patrol suspensions makes it more powerful on rocky terrain. I love it
Interesting how the Jeep 4x4 system selects the wheel(s) with the most traction.
Thanks for the vid boys.
Because of traction control. No worries. I'm glad you liked the video. Hopefully I'll have some more good ones.
Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) Does this Jeep have the electronic rear locker or is it all done with traction control? Is it Quadra Lift or steel springs? Impressive stuff. Good job.
Traction control only, steel springs but I have a 2 inch spacer lift.
Nicholas Klapsogiannis That's awesome. Nice driving and thanks for the reply.
What's the point of comparing a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee against a 15 year old Patrol?
***** You're right, a 15 year old Jeep is better.
mate i got a gq and i think they have a cult following fuck jeep would not be as reliable and too plastic
That patrol is fast
Patrol or land cruiser estan muchisiiimooo mejor q una descartable jeep peor si esa jeep es cheroke
15 years old Patrol wins in every offroad place...and is beautiful, wonderful and amazing, a real 4x4
I'm glad you like them, thanks. More to come...
Gotta love the traction control on that Jeep
This video is a testament to the capabilities of the Jeep Grand Cherokee! I purchased a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland not too long ago and LOVE it. It hasn't disappointed me one bit. I actually think its look is better than the newer models. The larger grill and headlights give it a bolder, more rugged look. The rear taillight's design flow into the center chrome accent, making it look like an SUV rather than a minivan. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for leaving a comment 👍 Glad you liked the video.
@Walter Londrie
Totally agree!
Great video! im looking to buy a jeep grand Cherokee 2013 crd. love from south africa.
Glad you liked it. All the best with your Jeep.
Hands down the Jeep is a beast Jeep Grand Cherokee...all the way
Irish ☘️ army had the Nissan patrol, except bit of kit , & I am a Land Rover Guy , drove a patrol in Africa didn’t disappoint !
I hope I don't offend anyone with my comment but out of my personal experience with the Nissan Patrol I think it needed a stronger engine it was one sluggish big truck with an underpowered engine, I used to own a 99 Super Safari Patrol with a 4.5 I6 and an auto trans. I felt like I needed a calender to time my 0-60, it didn't perform very well on big sand dunes it had a very good suspension though, all it needed was a bigger pumping heart, maybe because mine was an auto IDK..
Everyones going on and on about having the Jeep rather than the Nissan but the fact is, that Nissan is from 1998 and why didnt they just compare the Jeep to the Y62 Patrol because the Patrol used here is so much older. The thing is, despite the age, the Patrol can still go anywhere. I actually have a Y62, and I really hope that the Y62 and the Jeep are compared.
Johann Bernz A 1998 Zj with the 5.2 or 5.9 would out-perform this Nissan patrol
Probably because they didn't have access to the Y62. Just enjoy the video for what it is .... sheesh.
Why is everyone so impressed with the Jeep? It's designed to do this!
In any case, as far as I am concerned, if they both finished the trip without breaking, they both win. They may do it different ways, but they get the job done.
But I's still rather have the Jeep and do it in luxurious comfort and style..
The patrol was also designed for this
Try driving the Nissan on the highway for a whole day, Jeep is much better!
Stupidity such as yours still amazes me.
I've been in both on the highway all day (1991 patrol instead of a 98+ but the point stands still) and id rather be in the patrol cause I have far more faith in it getting me home without having to work out, why all of a sudden the computer won't let me have 4wd, the lights in the sun visors are trying to catch fire, the abs module has stopped working and I have no brakes at all, why the check engine light is on (on ours turned out to be a cracked head from poor material quality) plus the seats weren't even very comfortable after the patrol
I didn't realize the v6 would perform so well off road before this video lol
Jeep = Like a BEAST!! Thumbs up on the off road skills as well, both drivers. But the Jeep made it seem effortless. I have a WJ series Overland.
Damn that jeep loves the rocks
It asks for it by name everyday.
Jeep did good. Wish the driver air down tho
The Patrol made that look a lot easier than the Jeep, it had better suspension travel and more clearance. The traction control on the jeep was the only thing that got that through, and then it was putting massive strain on the half shafts. I think the patrol will still be running well in another 15 years whereas the Jeep I think will have died.
Exactly what I was thinking. I would buy a Patrol over a Jeep hands down.
Sad there are no Patrols in Canada and even the new pathfinders are now just a common crossovers.
That was some real off-roading... :)
Another win for the Jeep. Don’t mess with the legend.
Dan R did u actually watch the video?
Awesome trail and amazing driving skills! Thanks for sharing it. I'm so surprised a V6 QC "mom-mobile" is this off-road capable - just helped me decide to buy a used 2011 for my winter ski trips in Michigan.
Rubens Ribeiro the Jeep Grand Cherokee is no qc mom-mobile obviously...it’s an outdoor-mobile
That GC is awesome and you guys' driving skills are fantastic. Subbed.
Thank you.
Love the violin soundtrack!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wonder if my toyota prado can tackle those tracks. Great video love both cars.... but if I have to choose which one performs better... I go with the patrol... jeep struggle at times due to lack of wheel travel.... but performs well otherwise
In 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee higher models introduced air suspension and later they added it as an optional suspension also to the Laredo model
Interesting comparison, but the GC comes in on a disadvantage being that it's only got independent suspension. That being said, and considering its a laredo v6 I'd say it did extremely well. (Not to mention tires) All of you guys who are commenting on which one is better as a brand should compare a solid axle jeep to a solid axle competitor. The vid would have been much different if the jeep was a wrangler, with open diffs of course, to be fair. Put the Patrol up against a jk rubicon unlimited with 2 inches of lift and forget it. Then the reliability debate starts lol. Anyway, that's my .02 Good vid though Aussie, keep it up and cheers from the great white north!
Great and balanced comment. Thank you.
People get so butthurt over brands. I prefer Nissans from a mechanic and reliability point of view but I'm not going to shit on Jeep enthusiasts. The rubicon is probably the best Offroader out of the factory bar none.
To be honest I think people put to much stock in Solid axles and articulatation for off roading. They are more important when you have limited slip or open differentials that can't stop the one wheel from spinning, but when you have lockers or brake traction control that can lock the wheel in the air and send pretty much 100% of the torque to the wheel with traction, wheel articulation is a lot less important. Plus with independent suspension you can get better ground clearance.
Far out, these videos just keep getting better
that's a jolly good job guys! both cars are great. I had a discovery 300tdi -rubbish. Now I drive grand cherokee wh with quadra drive ii and it s a perfect car. I love it.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. WH's are great.
Thanks bud. Glad you liked it.
Nissan upgraded the Patrol from 4.5 litres to a 4.8 but the difference in power is significant as there is more to it than the slight increase in size. It is an absolute beast. I have driven a number of 4x4s and this is truly powerful and the auto box mates beautifully. Its reliability far outweighs most 4x4s except for Toyota who also produce long lasting vehicles. I went out and bought one and have done sand, mud and high mountain rock passes as well as other overlanding trips in Africa. It has been so impressive that my business partner also bought one. The first one is a 2004 and the second a 2006. Its offroad ability is enhanced by the powerful engine and amazing autobox. The suspension makes 4x4ing easy keeping all the takkies on the ground and giving fantastic suspension travel. That said I have found that Jeep Wranglers and the Cherokees are formidable offroad performers they have just proved unreliable over time and with age which is not ideal in an African desert or on snow capped Peruvian mountain passes both of which I have had the pleasure of driving. Great vids guys and great driving and I won't mention the safety stuff cos it's been said a lot anyway.
True, I got both vehicles but both fall short of the HEMI power that my Grand Cherokee has :)
both the vehicles were awesome
Thanks man 👍👍 Thanks for watching.
Nice video. I have never seen a grand cherokee driven offroad like this. Climbs like a mountain goat. Is this the overland version?
No
It's a Laredo.
Aussie Four Wheelers 4x4?
Is the GC without quadra drive 2? It seems it is a model with coil springs without air suspension? 4wd low and lock option?
No air suspension or Quadra drive (no locking rear) It does have low range
Hi guy's I love the video. I am just looking at getting a Wk2. Did that one you used have any lift or the quadralift added? Just not sure which way to go.
No QuadraLift but it had 2 inches of lift.
@@AussieFourWheelers Awesome thanks for the reply. I was thinking about going that way and now will definitely do that
All the best bud 👍
Yeah, you're right about the WK2's. They have pretty good clearance with the independent suspension compared to my WH/WK model but I don't know how high they could be lifted or what would be the biggest tyre size to put on.
In regards to the Land Cruiser and Patrol, LOL, I better not comment, all war will break loose, HAHA, if you know what I mean :D.
It's not because of wheelbase but because of wheel travel. The Nissan has solid axles and the Jeep has independents all around.
Hi Ken, just as Nicholas said, his is the WK2 and I still have my HEMI WK, I love it to much, can't think of selling it yet. Yeah, that's my Patrol that I use for work, it's stock with a factory rear locker.
Great video,thanks for sharing. Basicaly the Jeep said antything you can do I can do it better.The Jeep looked a lot better going through the trail in my opinion.
Impressive with jeep on those tires, that is more than enough id need it for for my kind of camping.
Impressive departure angle on the Jeep
great video! hello from Houston Texas
Thank you 👍 Glad you liked it.
When the jeep transmission goes clack clack clack. Hold the brake while feeding it some gas. This will help to put power to all the wheels at the same time avoiding grinding the cv axels.
That's what the traction control is for. That sound was of the transfer case which was going faulty.
Jeep's fully armoured underneath, plus he's got the rock crushers on the sides, made out of RHS 150x50x5mm.
I just did the same on the Patrol but went with a bit lighter 150x50x4mm and tested it (see the 4x4 Mayhem Teaser @ Wheeny Creek video) and not a dent, let alone a bend. Just scratches, which are easily fixed with a spray can LOL.
So yeah, the Jeep does very well. The intention is to make it remain looking stock... a sleeper.
Impressive from both vehicles.
Thanks for this awesome video. Patrol was like a lion
و إياكم أخي
An aging, fat, out of shape lion.
both car are good in my opinion
Don Vito Corleone I agree
NIKHIL MAHARAJ 392 Both
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 is a beast off roading I have one myself
Chaneels like yours, one Up The Sleeve Customs, one Up The Sleeve Customs Automotive, made in poland, 4wd action, 4x4 avstralia, ronny Dahl, JIMBO'S GARAGE, carwow, cars garage... are the reson why I LOVE youtobe😎 🤠.
LOVE THIS VIDEO 😍. CHEERS LEGENDS!
Thanks a lot mate 👍👍👍
No air suspension or ELSD, 45mm lift. Air suspension give you 65mm lift and rear diff lock from factory.
That one in the video is my mate's and I was surprised how well it performed. He also said he gets very good fuel economy. Personally, I love V8's so a HEMI would do fine for me, just love the sound. But if you want real good economy without losing much power, CRD is the way to go then, amazing torque, excellent 0-100 times for an SUV and good low down torque for wheeling.
I think the JGC is usually underestimated in off-roads because it doesn't look brutish as it's counterparts. It's just too 'handsome'.
I don't want to be that guy but the Jeep looked like it handled this stuff more naturally. So I take it the V6 ain't no pansy like the V6 with the previous generation?
+120masterpiece
What like the action at 11:50? The Patrol sailed up that slope, the Jeep cocked it wheels and spun all over the place. If anything the Jeep looked out of place.
***** The Patrol certainly handled that step better than the Jeep. It looks like the diffs didn't lock with the jeep but my opinion isn't going to change much based on one obstacle.
Did you trade your WK for a WK2? Looks like it's time to throw a small lift on that sucker and go up a size or two on the tyres. That said, it seems to do quite well. All of that exposed rock looks like a blast to wheel on.
Jeep looks so poised and compliant. It never looks out of shape. It just walks it.
Not that easy! It wasn't just this trip. The owner of the Grand really gives it hard time and it's been on plenty of trips. All fixed now and ready for more adventures.
Maybe i'm not a offroad specialist, but i'm truely impressed !!!
That I'm unaware of as I'm from the States. But google or a quick call to your local dealer will likely answer that question for you. It indicates that those prices are what you pay out the door, so I can't imagine there's a lot of extra you'd have to pay apart from registration fees (not sure how all that works in AUS, so I'm making assumption for that bit.)
This is a classic example of old vs new, . . . . . I guess for the hard stuff, a classic live axe still beat the all independent, electronic trac control- But for the record . . . . the best and most important is the driver, there are no substitute for it.
The grand cherokee doesn't have the auto locking diffs in this video. This is the base model.
Its June 2018, just bought a GC 3.0CRD, Laredo, 4x4. I have been looking for a video of it driven off road, and finally i found this. I am truly surprised how well the jeep did. I had no idea it was this capable, given it has the on road ride of a Mercedes ML. Can see it needs the wheels to spin, before it uses the brakes to send power to the other wheels, given it does not have any locking diffs. The trailhawk has the locking diffs, and so did the patrol in this video. Great to finnally see what i wanted to know !!!
Glad you could relate to this video. All the best with your new JGC.
Aussie Four Wheelers mine is pulling to the left. Need a solution. Love the GC and have done the usual dealer alignment and wheel rotation but not Joy. Any experts in Sydney ?
Do you have any lift?
Aussie Four Wheelers no lift or any mods. Only done 2000kms. Dealer aligned it, have the spec. Said it’s as good as they get. It’s got standard wheels n tyres.
Hmmm... That's weird then.
Great video mate. Impressive how both cars managed the obstacles in a quite tamed manner. Enjoyed watching this. :)
Thanks a lot for the compliments mate, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it.
jeep was amazing or was it the driver?
drifting while your children are standing up from the sunroof?! that is very dangerous mate! many were killed the same way.
Thank you for your concern.
I think these guys know what they're doing and the footage is sped up if I'm not wrong Aussie?
JEEPS have been doing this when Nissan was swimming in his dad's ball sack..Anything a Nissan can do, the JEEP which is a multi million dollar car make, can out rival any other SUV in the market. Lucky this is a Grand Cherokee, because the normal Cherokee could not do this . Don't buy a Jeep compass or a patriot tho, very bad investments. Nissan is ok ..but when it comes down to being the big dog in the market...JEEP is the ultimate contender.
JEEP IS THE BEST!!!! AND IT LOOKS BETTER THAN PATROL FOREVER!!!!
Nah, you're not offending anyone here. You're very right about the I6 4.5L engine. It is a bit sluggish and underpowered for this size of a vehicle. I wish it had a HEMI in it.
as a grand Cherokee owner. I have to say you beat 99% of us, off roading, for sure. any idea where u can get some 20in at tyre for my limited?
check out cooper discoverer at3
Not the one in the video no no duadra lift or quadra drive and its the v6 petrol
Can you show me where this trail is??? :P
Amazing video, I'm wondering if you used a Canon SLR to shoot this video. The video quality is so good.
Where in Menai? I have been looking for places to drive near Heathcote but couldn't find any tracks that were open to the public?
both cars are awesome, and I can't afford either one
Me too
Both look like capable SUVs. I've never owned or driven either vehicle.
both vehicles did a good job title for the Jeep Grand Cherokee I think that they're the best if you have the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trail Rated they have different trim leather levels especially the ones that raises up higher but they did both for good job. I still like the jeep better
The QD2 in that Jeep is fantastic.
It's QT2 not QD2
