Just got my Patriot today :pepper:. Been driving it around and I love it! It's my first Jeep(my brother has a Wrangler), didn't go off-road today but I can't wait! I got a Jeep Green Sport, 5 speed and the 25E package. I have a question about the 25E package: the brochures I have seen say fog lamps come in the package, but mine didn't have them. Is that right or should I see about get the dealer to add them? Mine also didn't come with the speed control either which I thought was in the package but they are adding that. I don't think it will be like the controls in the Premium Steering Wheel Group which would have been nice to have. I am involved in Boy Scouts and can't wait to get the Patroit up in the Colorado High Country. I think the Patroit and I will become great friends but "it's a Jeep thing" right?

...can't wait to get the Patroit up in the Colorado High Country...
Sounds like the perfect place to put it through its paces. I've never been to Colorado, but I've always wanted to visit. Have fun!

Congrats and you should be able to get us some great pictures! How does the Patriot handle high altitudes?

The Patriot seems to like the high altitudes. You would think that the 4 cylinder would be gutless at 6100 ft in CO Springs but not so. It gets off the line well, keeps pulling on the freeway and is fun to drive. I see a bunch of the 3.7L Libertys on the road here but I'll just smile and wave as I go by them when they are getting gas :). I'll definitely get some pictures and when the Fall comes, OH MY! will those pictures be good! BTW: I totally blew my user name, sorry folks, maybe I can get it changed. :(

Rockin' man. Eagle Scout myself. I took my Patriot up to Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park this weekend, drove EXCELLENT. Noticed I haven't been getting the best mileage (ave. 21), but still better than expected for a SUV going UP. First problem however, battery light came on about a mile from home, then the other dash lights started to come on and go off. HMMMMMM.... Maybe we'll have to get somethin goin on this summer CO_
