hi guys/gals.

i am in ottawa region here.

might trade my dodge 2008 ram/hemi for a jeep patriot.4/4.

my wife as a 2008 compass for 2 year now and love it a lot..but its not 4/4. and as the small motor..but man its great on gaz compare to my hemi.hahhaha.

so now i am looking at the patriot and the jaurney..and not sher whitch one to buy...both 4/4.

i am not an offroader here.

just dirt road and carry my kayaks and a trailer wit 4 kayaks on it.

so not sher i neeed that off road kit or not.?

help please.

and it sad to see that the 2010 will be there last year off production that those not help me to.

To be on the safe side you might want off road package with towing capability, i not sure how much a 4 kayak trailer weights.
It is not confirmed that 2010 is last year of production, lots of speculation about Fiat's moves.

my broth inlaw is a manager at a doge dealer here in ottawa and he is the one that told me that tonight...about the last year for patriot and compass.

will see..but that new mini jeep sher look good.

BUT.no hp..no place inside..no towing capacity..sooooooooooo

My brother has the first journey sold in Quebec, he loves it. His only problem after two years are the brakes, actually the quality of the discs. (lots of vibration) other than that a good veehickle, but I believe the journey is not a actual 4x4 but only an All Wheel Drive(AWD)

hi rockymountain guy.

i dont no if i realy need a true 4/4.

i dont go off road..just dirt road and snow.

the journey is a bit nicer and as more space and about the same price.

i live in qc to in gatineau...but i am like 3 min frome ottawa.

Hey JOCO
I am not sure the awd is standard on the Journey at the cheaper model, I could be wrong, either way I say test drive them both and go with the one that feels right, and the one you truly want. there's nothing worse that second guessing after you buy.
