Patriot is an excellent little machine

The Patriot will be the class leader in off-highway performance and I love the classic design. Great addition to the Jeep line IMHO

Please expand on your impression....

What kind of off-roading were you able to do in the Patriot? Please tell me it was more than a graded, flat gravel parking lot... (got photos/video?)

What makes you state that it will be a class leader in off-hwy perf.?

I agree on the looks.. at least from the digital images I've seen (I still haven't seen one in person.)

I will elaborate soon, once the media blackout dates are cleared. I have some great pictures too. I have driven everything in the segment and nothing comes close on the trail.

Understand about the blackout. Good to hear that it is a capable rig. Looking forward to your full report.

Expeditions, when everything's a "go".....Did you get it into the loose sand (not the packed stuff), as on the beach? Appreciate the info when available!

With all the rain they had in the mountains ouside of Scottsdale, I bet they got to give the Patriot a more serious workout than some sand on a beach!

I can't wait to see the video and photos form it.

Would have loved to take a Patriot on a test drive in the lake effect snow Michigan had the last couple days. From a foot to two feet of lake effect snow fell. My ol' XJ didn't even grunt.
