Off-Roading the Jeep Way

September 11th, 2023 by

 

 

Since its beginning in 1941, Jeep has been all about adventure. Although it can handle any kind of adventure, off-roading is a Jeep specialty!

 

 

 

Pellegrino is Woodbury’s home for Jeep. Whether off-roading is your thing or you have other adventure plans, we can get you in the Jeep that works for you.

 

 

 

Since not all off-roading is the same, Jeep has six vehicles to choose from. This means you can find the one that can handle what you love. Jeep’s lineup includes:

 

 

 

  • Wrangler: This iconic Jeep vehicle is built for those who want to maximize their experience in the great outdoors. The removable top, windows, and door let you be fully immersed in your off-roading adventure.

  • Cherokee: This vehicle is ideal for those who spend a bit more time on the road than off. It still is capable of adventuring, but in a low-key way.

  • Grand Cherokee: This is the most awarded SUV. It can handle both daily adventures and weekend exploration.

  • Compass: This vehicle lets you adventure in style. With best-in-class highway MPG, it can go the distance.

  • Renegade: This is a vehicle for people who want something a little different. Its unique design will impress both on and off the road.

  • Gladiator: This all-new Jeep vehicle combines the best of Jeep’s off-road technology with a pickup flatbed, so you can take more wherever you go.

 

 

 

Although each vehicle has its own style, there are a few things they all have in common.

 

Trail Rated

 

When you are driving over rocks, roots, logs, and more, you want to know that your vehicle can handle it. Jeep is proud to have earned the Trail Rated badge. This badge indicates that a Jeep vehicle has been put through intense testing and has proven itself worthy of off-roading.

 

 

 

The five categories tested are:

 

 

 

  1. Traction: When driving on anything but dry pavement, a Jeep’s tires will keep a grip on the ground, giving you control.

  2. Water Fording: Jeep’s high air intake and sealed underside will not let water in the path stop your adventure.

  3. Maneuverability: When an obstacle is in your way, Jeep’s precision steering and optimized wheelbase let you get around it safely.

  4. Articulation: From rocks and roots to potholes, whatever you are driving over, a Jeep’s wheels will remain on the ground.

  5. Ground Clearance: When you cannot go around something, Jeep lets you go over it without damaging the underside of the vehicle.

 

 

 

The testing starts at the FCA US headquarters, and then heads out to see how it handles nature at its toughest. Only those that pass the test become a Jeep vehicle.

 

4×4 Systems

 

4×4 is necessary for off-roading. It allows each wheel to independently adjust its traction to give the vehicle the best stability and control.

 

 

 

Not all 4×4 systems are the same, and Jeep strives to make the best system so that you can have confidence in all terrains. Jeep’s 4×4 can handle:

 

 

 

  • Paved Roads

  • Mud

  • Gravel

  • Snow

  • Rocks

  • Sand

 

 

 

Each Jeep vehicle has several 4×4 options to choose from, so you can pick the system that best suits your adventuring preferences.

 

Stay Connected

 

Even when you want to escape the business of everyday life, it is nice to know you can get help if you need it. Jeep vehicles are available with Uconnect Systems so that you can choose when you want to be off the grid or want a little extra help.

 

 

 

Uconnect has different features available depending on the Jeep model you choose. Some of the available features include:

  • SiriusXM Guardian: You can unlock your Jeep, sound the horn, send map info, and more with your smartphone.

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: No matter what kind of phone you use, you can connect it to your Jeep.

 

 

 

Adventure Safely

 

While the possibility of danger gives adventuring its thrill, everyone wants to stay safe. Each Jeep model comes with driver assist features, so whatever kind of adventure you enjoy, you can do it safely.

 

 

 

A few key safety features include:

 

 

 

  • Blind Spot Warning

  • Rear Cross Path Detection

  • Forward Collision Warning

  • Adaptive Cruise Control

  • Automatic High-Beam Headlamps

  • Park Assist
