- I take my 2019 Jeep Compass Trailhawk to Endeavor Adventure Park in Bridgeport, TX along with Seth in his 2007 FJ Cruiser and we found the perfect spot to do some plein air painting along the way.
The Jeep Compass Trailhawk is a very under rated vehicle. If it was a Toyota the internet wouldn't be able to stop singing its praises.
I agree!
U STOLE THE TOYOTE PART RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. If this was a Toyota or Honda baby you wouldn’t hear the end of it. It goes for the renegade Cherokee and grand Cherokee as well! Though the grand does get the credit it deserves SURPRISINGLY
@@Natethegreat200c The grand cherokee is the worst offroad, just WAY too large.
Great videos… you should be sponsored by Jeep! It’s hard to find a realistic review and capability of the Compass. Thanks for showing
Thank you! How awesome would that be!
Nice climbing Bro..Compass Made it💪💪💪
I never saw Jeep compass doing this hardcore off-roading, loved your hard work brother. Subscribing your channel
Thank you very much, Rohit!
Man I’m impressed with that little Jeep! I didn’t realize a compass can go through places like those! It kept pretty good with the fj! 👌😎👍
It's underpowered but they did a great job with the Compass and Renegade.
I'm impressed as hell with the Compass now. I haven't seen any reviewers put it to the test like that. Love the painting, too! It was prettier than the inspiration for it.
Hey! Thank you very much, Brian!
"Sorry, paint supplies!" True artist 😆😁🤣
Haha!
Beautiful n powerful car driven by a professional n well trained driver, you guys are amazing
Thank you, Sonu!
Great job..👍
Thank you, Mike!
Nice video and "final product". I still cannot believe that compass was able to go through that terrain :)
Thank you!
I took a Compass facelift, your videos keep showing up in my timeline and they are worth my time. I could never imagine taking my compass in there. Keep up the work mate.
haha! Thank you, Rajath!
Love the concept of this channel! Keep going! It'll catch on!
Thank you very much!
I'm really impressed with how well that thing did at bridgport. Bridgeport is where you go to break stuff, but it did well! Great video!
Thank you! I had a great guide. If I had been by myself I definitely would have broke something. Haha
@@OverlandArtist im really considering getting a compass trailhawk for my wife. Any downsides for wheeling thst really stick out to you?
@@KAREKINFPV If you have the traction control on it will lose power quick when any of the wheels can't grab. That can be turned off though. And the articulation isn't great but that is to be expected.
@@OverlandArtist thanks for the reply. This seems like so much of a better option to be able to get out there and explore than something like a subaru crosstrek.
Awesome content. Amazing artist, fun guy, smoothing voice in an awesome Jeep Compass Trailhawk, documenting his adventures with great editing and nice music. Keep up the great work, this car and format. Without a doubt this channel will grow.
Thank you, Jonas!
Love watching your videos during my kidney donation recovery. Makes me miss wheeling in my 95 yj, but I love my compass trailhawk.
I hope you have a speedy recovery and thank you very much!
I like the way you interact with the camera it’s very funny. Not taking yourself too seriously and just having fun making videos of the things you love to do
I'm glad it comes across like that. Thank you!
One of the best videos I have ever seen. Great Job!
Thank you very much, Jorge!
I like your videos you have some of the most thorough Jeep compass Trailhawk videos actually.
Hey! Thank you!
The best crossover imo. Not everyone wants a big heavy body on frame SUV or a rock crawler since most of the time people drive on highways and would just need 4x4 for driving on lighter trails where a 2wd faced a harder time. It has good traction control and a center diff lock. Perfect for people who do light offroading and want the nimbleness of a normal road car. Regards a compass owner from India
Amazing video, you really put the compass to the test
Thank you!
very nice content... like it... Really fantastic review of Jeep and end with an art. awesome
thank you!
Just got my 2019 compass Trailhawk. Really enjoyed the video love to see other Trailhawk owners getting out there !
Heck Yeah!
Great video. I’d love to see more of these.
Thank you! Lot's more to come for sure
Love your channel man. Keep the great content coming.
Thank you very much and I’ll sure try!
Amazing it´s so capable that compass. Awesome.
Thanks! It's a fun car for sure
Holy snaps!!! Thats amazing little ute doin offroad lol!
It certainly tries to. haha
pretty cool vid, i too have a compass trailhawk, they sometimes get a lot of funny looks, but they are pretty fun and capable vehicles unique in their class. i enjoy it, i never try and do anything too crazy anyway
Thanks! Yeah, I really enjoy mine for sure.
Love the big Ben shout out
Haha. Glad you caught it
This is a surprisingly great video. I would say that vehicle has no business following a built FJ through that type of terrain (and I would be mostly correct) but good for you for sending it. That little jeep is impressive!
Haha! You are right and thank you. Hopefully I won't snap one of my cv joints any time soon.
enjoyed this video, very nice to see the car go trough the terrain, showcasing the abilities and at the same thing a very relaxed explanation.
Will watch more of this.
Especially since in looking to buy a used cherokee or compass trailhawk...stil not sure which one.
Both seem good (one is just a bit bigger it seems)
Thank you! Yeah. Also, the Cherokee has a rear locker where as the compass does not.
@@OverlandArtist Oh did not know that, thanks for that info!
@@70xr7Cougar you are most welcome!
I got the exact same ride w/ the Rough Country 2” lift. Stock did great off-road and it’s even better w/ a lift. Great little suv people tend to underestimate 🙌🏼
Heck yeah! Have you gotten into any hairy situations with it?
Your wheels look awesome!
@@OverlandArtist Yes, I’ve taken it to some moderate trails in NorCal. Surprised the heck out of me what it can do.
@@OverlandArtist thank you!
but how bad is your gas mileage now?
Almost a Bob Ross meets Overlanding. Nice.
Haha! Thanks, Sherif!
so glad I found your channel! Im an artist and admittedly a novice to the off roading world, and have been thinking of similar adventures up here in Canada. Cheers :)
You got the Bronco Sport? I really like the look of those. How are you liking it so far?
@@OverlandArtist yes, I got the Badlands version which would be comparable to your Compass. Picked it up a year ago December 30 . I love the styling as well, and it's my first off road capable vehicle so learning all the tricks has dominated my free time lol. As the vehicle goes I have zero complaints, other than I wish the bumper fascia wasn't plastic haha I already broke that 😏Otherwise, a fantastic vehicle so far.
@@frh-freerangehuman Nice! I'm sure I'll bust up all my plastic soon too.
@@OverlandArtist haha I guess that’s what it’s there for eh?
@@frh-freerangehuman It sure is. haha
Nice editing mate! You have my suscription, cheers.
Hey! Thank you very much!
Ya know, you're actually a little better than 20:1 crawl because it's an automatic. With automatics it's a little bit better than rated because of the slip you get from the torque converter - it adds some slip and winds up upping the ratio.
such a cool technology
We bought a 2017 jeep compass trailhawk in late November and I like it. The 4x4 dial seems hard to turn but it does go into 4x4 mode. I may not do the same test you took yours through.
Nice! I've seen those first gen compass's handle some gnarly stuff as well.
Add a exhaust and some premium spark plugs with some Lucas additives for transmission and motor....you will get some more grunt out of that motor
Great idea! Thanks, Juan
this needs to be the compass sales commercial.
haha. most definitely
@@OverlandArtist have a trip coming up soon . gonna take the family out to camp wood (uvalde) area hopefully test out our new compass .
@@joesamperi512 Sweet! Let me know how it does
@@joesamperi512 love that area of Texas
I am really shocked 😳 seeing a Jeep compass going off road .
Haha. The Trailhawks are pretty good as long as they can clear obstacles.
Subscriber 930 has arrived. Texas is awesome, but so is Oklahoma 🍻😎
Nice! Thank you! Yes. I love traveling through eastern OK for sure.
Zf9hp gearbox is very fine
yeah. one of the good parts in these jeeps for sure.
Love from india
thank you, Zed!
Thanks you at least took it more off-road than any other video I've seen I just might buy one now
Nice! I think the new ones have a turbo so I'm sure they are much more responsive than mine.
@@OverlandArtist I wish lol would make up for the under power issue. Although I still havnt ran into a situation where I really needed more power except if I'm loaded down with gear. I looked at a 2022 today and no turbo 😭😭
@@JeepUSMC yep. It does fine once you get the RPMs up. Just kinda lags on the highway which isn't a big deal I guess.
@@OverlandArtist just gave my wife the compass latitude and went and got the traik hawk 👍 solved that problem 🤣🤣 now for the 2 inch lift and tires
@@JeepUSMC Nice! Get some 1" wheels spacers as well.
what tyres have you put on the trailhawk? looking to upgrade my tyres as well.
The tires are 245/65 BF Goodrich All-Terrains on the stock 17s and I had to put on 1 inch wheel spacers so they would fit properly.
@@OverlandArtist @Overland Artist Hey thanks. I dont want to mess around with the spacing etc so I was thinking of 225/65 R17. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time.
@@TallyTalwarOfficial those should fit perfectly. Mine are 9.6 inches wide and those 225s are 8.9 inches wide.
Very good video, congratulations.
A doubt
What tire did you use?
I intend to put on BFgoodrich tires
THanks!
Thank you! 245/65 r17
I love these little capable CUVs, how has the engine reliability been for Jeeps recently
a little on the weak side but it does the job once you get into the higher RPMs
I also have a Jeep CompassTrailhawk, and I love the stance of your Compass. What size wheel spacers and tires do you have on yourTrailhawk? Also the name and lift of your lift kit? Love your channel, and thanks for your time.
Thank you! I have 1" wheel spacers on now and the tires are 245/65r17s. The lift is from American Trail Products ( americantrailproducts.com )
Very impressive. Anything done to the Jeep besides tires? It almost looks like it may sit a bit higher than stock
Thanks! Yeah. In this video It has a 2" ATP suspension lift.
Bad ass tires w brand are those the jeep looks tuff my respects
thank you!
Is this uplifted.. I think original car don't have that much ground clearance.
Hey do you know what the max tire size without a lift on these compass trailhawks is? I have a compass trailhawk that currently has 215/65/17s and thats what every tire site recommends but my wife's compass latitude came with 225/65/17s. Seems kinda weird the trailhawk comes with smaller tires didn't know if there was a reason.
I can fit a little less than a 30.5 inch by 9.5 inch with a sliver of room. I also had to get an inch spacer so they could fit.
Hey, nice video, nice ride. What tyres have you got on there? They don’t look like stock.
Thank you! They are 245/65 r17 with a 2” lift and 1” wheel spacers so they can fit
Compass looks cooler than the FJ. Btw, is the ground clearance modified raised... or its stock. And what are those cool tyres AT..
Thank you! It is. I have a 2" ATP lift on it with basically 29" BF Goodrich All-Terrains
Yes I wouldn’t do that in a normal compass, or Cherokee for that matter…. But the TH is lifted with 4WD and basically just a smaller Cherokee, and that one appears possibly extra lift? Anyhow, nice art work…
Thanks! Yeah, I have a 2" lift on it in this video.
Silly question is your compass lifted and what tires I would like to make my compass trailhawk more capable too
Not a silly question. Yes, it is lifted. I put a 2" ATP lift on it and 1" wheel spacers so I could fit my 245/65 r17 BF Goodrich All-Terrain's.
What tires you running? Stock height right? Nice vid bud!
They are 245/65 r17 with a 2” lift and 1” wheel spacers
Do you care if I plug this video and send people your way? This has to be one of the best Compass Trailhawk capability videos on CZcams!
Heck yeah. Go for it and thank you!
@@OverlandArtist Done !
Hey, do you have anything additional done to the suspension? Also, what rubber are you running?
Besides the lift I just have it adjusted as much as possible so it drives sort of straight. haha.
the tires I have now are Predator XTs - 245/65 r17
they should do a compass hybrid to compete with the RAV4
That would be cool!
It's coming. They already have it in Europe.
@The Crazy Amateur Runner compete at karate. i mean sales. RAV4 is about as good as the compass offroad but whoops its ass at fuel economy.
@@ruggv6217 european TH is built in an italian plant (the same of Renegade). Engines are a 1.3 petrol 180hp+electric one 60 hp. Total amount output 240 hp. Only a plug-in version is on sale. Full electric drive range is more ore less 50 km.
What kind of MPGs do you get with those tires and lift?
not great. getting a little under 19
Hey I've been trying to find some off road tires for my compass what size are those?
I have 245/65 r17 with 1" wheel spacers
What tires are on this compass? I have a 2018 Compass trailhawk I’m looking to get some new tires for
I run some 245/65 r17 Predator New Mutants currently. I think the ones in this video are BF Goodrich ATs of the same size. I had to put 1" wheel spacers on so they could fit.
Where did you get your flannel shirt jac at 30 seconds.
It's a Woolrich and my buddy gave it to me. I think he got it somewhere in Idaho. I'll ask him next time I see him.
Did the Compass scrape on its underside at all on this adventure?
I have not scraped rock yet but I’m sure it’s going to happen soon. I have some ATP skid plates coming to remedy that hopefully.
Overland Artist the Compass looks like it has performed great off road especially if it hasn’t scraped yet
It's always in 4WD... BUT it's automatic 4WD. The 4 wheel lock just tells it to STAY in 4wd without switching in and out automatically.
And with the compass the 4 wheel low is actually just a little bit lower 1st gear. The car starts in second gear otherwise.
Still , it's a very good and very capable car. My wife has the 2018 compass trailhawk and I have the 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk. The Cherokee has the "real" 4 low and a rear locker but, they're both very good.
The compass gets WAY better gas mileage than the Cherokee even though mine and my wife's Jeep have the 2.4 and the 9 speed. Basically the same engine and transmission .
Compass is faster and gets way better MPG.
Yeah - if I had the V6 Cherokee the Cherokee would be faster but as it is, it's not.
Thank you for the info! I’ll update that in my next video.
Do you mind if I use your channel name?
@@OverlandArtist sure. I don't have any subscribers or videos but sure. Also , remember that the Wrangler sport has the same setup. So , I don't think it's a bad thing to just have front and back brake locking differentials if they work well. You can find videos of Wrangler sports doing absolutely insane things with these "simulated" front and rear lockers. In the past , you'd have to have mechanical front and rear lockers or front and rear limited slip differentials.
I actually prefer the brake locking differentials because you are going to keep the brakes changed anyway , they're easier to inspect and probably much cheaper to replace than a limited slip differential clutch.
One more thing , one of the fastest cars in the world , the McLaren , uses an open diff with brake locking... So... If someone doesn't think it's any good or thinks that it's not high performance... Think again...
Other things to note : the compass and Cherokee Trailhawk vehicles , as well as the renegade are considered all wheel drive AND four wheel drive. The Wrangler sport is not... The features that the Trailhawk jeeps have they are just now introducing into the more modern Jeep Sahara's (I think that's right) and vehicles like the Ford raptor.
These Trailhawk Jeeps we're ahead... Others are just now catching up - even other Jeeps !
@@fordfiveohh I like your term,"Simulated lockers," Haha. That is perfect
yeah, perfect description about the system in the Compass/Renegade
One thing to note yet: When stationary the 4WD system ALWAYS engages the drive shaft, so you'll have 4WD when coming out of a stop. Furthermore, when cruising in a good tarmarc the driveshaft that was engaged when coming out of stop will desengage at about 25mph
@@mateuspereira1360 Very interesting. I didn't realize it disengaged at 25mph. Thanks for that info, Mateus!
Just FYI you never want to use a locker on the highway. I think you misunderstand what a locker does.
I must have mis-spoke in the video. I know exactly what it does and I know you need the inside tire to disengage as opposed to being 'locked'.
I can tell you went up the car´s suspension right?
I did. A 2" ATP lift
I know I’m late to the party. The Jeep seems pretty capable. What engine does it have ?
It really is. It is underpowered though. Just the 2.3 4 cylinder. I think it has like 180 hp
2.4 liter. sorry
Car is lifted ?
Yes. 2 inches
Can you tell me your build list for your compass? Interested in doing the same to mine
Yes indeed. Right now I have 1" wheel spacers to accommodate the 245/65 r17 BF Goodrich ATs. I also have a 2" ATP lift kit on it and a couple roof cross bars to hold my Hi-Lift jack. Lastly I put a K&N air intake in it which of course makes it sound a bit beefier and adds a couple more horse power.
@@OverlandArtist nice just ordered some 1 inch spacers. Doesn’t the trailhawk already have a 1.5 inch life over stock compasses?
@@dylantobin8912 Yeah, you're right. The trailhawk's do come stock with a little over an inch taller compared to all the other Compasses.
Is yours lifted?
it is. 2 inch ATP lift with 1 inch wheel spacers to my tires will clear the spring mounts
That's my favorite thing.....when you know you probably shouldn't be there but that's how bad ass you are...they have to stop and go wait what????? Is that a compass? 🤣🤣🤣 I have a 2020 trailhawk and 2018 latitude
It is fun to see the Jeepers tilt there head when we drive by.
Where can I buy your paintings?
great question! I will put them up on a set once I get a larger number of them painted for sure.
what is your tire size ?
right now I have some Nitto Grappler 235/75 r17s on it but I'm about to replace them with 245/65 r17 mud terrains because the Nittos are just a little too big.
Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk or Jeep Compass Trailhawk ?
Compass
Yo🤘
thanks!
@@OverlandArtist awsom video
@@deadpooltoronto4097 thank you!
@@OverlandArtist welcome bro 😁
You should wear a helmet ! Just in case you have a accident ! Roll bar !
A roll bar would be awesome
salve hello brazil he! my car easy.....
Hello!
I rather take the Cherokee Trailhawk
Yeah. The Cherokee is a smidge larger but it's also more expensive. Though it does have the rear locker which is nice.
What a real guy! Nice videos man, you got a follower!
Thank you, Bavani!
