A couple weeks ago I checked for pricing for like the millionth time. You were finally able to build and price the partiot it was awesome! I looked again for it today and it was taken off the site, either way I am very happy that this Jeep is easliy under $19,000! Right now I have a very boxy '93 cherokee, I love my jeep and have never found anything I would want to replace it with. I am so happy about this smaller gas tank jeep sign me up! But I wish it was available already!

HURRY UP JEEP!:confused:

Hello,

I just wanted to clarify this topic regarding the 2007 Jeep Patriot build and price information on Jeep.com. I believe there were two separate disclaimers stating the following.

The information previously provided under the Patriot build and price was for demonstrational purposes only and may not reflect actual production options/prices. These factors may be subject to change prior to production without notice.

Currently pricing on the 2007 Jeep Patriot it not available, we anticipate this will be available shortly and to contact your local dealership for up to date pricing and availability information.

Dan,

Now that you are here, don't leave so soon. You seem to have some answers, and we have a lot of questions. Mine, primarily, is how capable is the Patriot, and when will we see a demonstration via pictures or video? As a person working in marketing, can you give us some insight as to why Jeep seems to be avoiding the topic, when Land Rover has released videos nearly 2 months ago that show the LR2 in off-road action?

Dan,

We all know that Jeep is going balls to the wall with intro of the Compass and the JK. However, there are a lot of folks who are extremely interested in the Patriot, and would appreciate DCX throwing us a bone once in awhile. How about some factual data on capability and production??

Thanks!

Aside from Camp Jeep, we rarely film any sort of hard-core off-roading videos featuring our new vehicles.

It is the belief that such demonstration is best handled by the enthusiasts simply filming what they love to do. I am sure that if you were to preform a quick google video search for "2007 Wrangler" you might come across a few videos by real individuals showing off just what their jeep can do.

IMO This provides a much better testiment of realistic capability then a sponsored and controlled photoshoot. We just try to buld a vehicle everyone can enjoy while providing a solid platform for those who choose to take their Jeep to the next level.

Unfortunately at this time there is no additional information is available on the Patriot. Further information may be available closer to vehicle release (Q1 2007). Once marketing receives the go ahead to provide this information it will be released to the appropriate channels.

Available specifications can be found here:
http://www.jeep.com/en/07patriot/index.html

Unfortunately, the details regarding the manufacturing process are not provided to marketing. I wouldn’t be able to provide you any information regarding what happens within the manufacturing facilities. Typically information of that nature is sealed beneath NDA's unless previously ok’d by DaimlerChrysler.

Tough Questions guys.
Sorry I couldnt be more helpfull but I can only work with what they give me.

Dan,

Thanks for the info. So, the plan still is for the Patriot to be available sometime after January 2007, and before the end of March? Thats cool.

I know you guys did the Portland beach and mountain thing for the press on the Compass, and the Rubicon with Mark Smith for the JK. Any similar plans for where the press gets the first look at the Patriot? I would assume that would be soon, based on the Compass/JK timetable.

At least you can maybe upchannel what you read on this board and let the folks at Jeep know that the natives are getting restless.

Thanks for posting on here!

There are some great photo op places between Portland and the coast. I could send some GPS waypoints or routes to them.

It doesn't have to be too hard-core... something more than a graded road would be nice. We anxiously await anything new on the Patriot. For a lot of us, only the things posted are what we can see. Some people are lucky enough to get the opportunity to walk around a real one when they want. Thanks for any and all updates, we do, really, appreciate them.



...if there's a vid posted somewhere I will try to get a link for the group here.

That’s the plan for release the but like everything its subject to change.

In regards to Press Events, typically Jeep provides the location and vehicles and lets the press go to town. Most of the time they’ll have a few people from the engineering/product team on hand to answer questions so that the journalists can write there stories/reviews.

I’m not sure how they pick there locations but I would believe it would have to be someone they could "rope off" giving the magazine people room to roam privately.
