Hi All. Just to let you guys know here comes another Patriot owner. We test drove a Patriot yesterday and put a down deposit on one!! We will be picking it up on Wednesday, waiting to get a remote start in it. It will be great addition to vehicles (Ford f150) and a Burgman 650cc scooter. Hope I can find room in the garage. There is loads of snow on the side streets of G.P. so the latest addition will be a welcome vehicle to get around. I was really impressed by the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. That what sold me on it with my sore hip. The wife will be using it mostly to get around.So I won't be getting phone call's "Come pull me out" anymore, which is a good thing. I am retired now so will looking forward to do some trips this Summer!!So guys I will be checking in to Forum regular. Thanks guys and I hope to get some good knowledge on the Patriot . Bill.

Hey, Bill! welcome to the club. You are going love your Patriot. I just traded my old F-150 for my Patriot. Small world, huh?

As for snow, its great. Though our snow in west michigan is now gone (sniff, sniff--no more skiing) I did experiance some winter weather in it. I have a 4x4 sport, and I NEVER had a problem. I only had to "lock" the 4X4 once...and that was to get over the plow mans mess on my driveway.

So what'd package did you order?

Welcome! Where is GP located in relation to Calgary or Edmonton? Did the Yakima rack bolt right up, and is that black or jeep green?
