I've been trying to search for this and cannot find it...
For the non-FDII, 4x4 models what's the ground clearance?
I'm assuming it's also the same for 2011 and 2012 models?

(also, are there any info on water fording depth for these non-trail rated models? just curious...)

My google search of "2013 Jeep Patriot specifications pdf" comes up with this:

http://chryslermedia.iconicweb.com/mediasite/specs/2013_JP_Patriot_SP.pdf

Insert other years as needed in the google search. They show 8.1" for regular Pat with 17" wheels and 9.1 for FDII.

I read somewhere that the '12 model gained an inch over the '11.......viagra?


Here's the '14: http://chryslermedia.iconicweb.com/mediasite/specs/2014_JP_Patriot_SP.pdf

Yep an inch.. That's why my Patriot had an RRO enlargement. It no longer feels embarrassed about its clearance.

So it looks like 8.1 (or 9.1 for FDII). Thanks!

All 4x4 versions have the same springs, so .5"over a fwd, you get another .5" if you get 17" wheels with the off "road tires" (ha, such a joke those tires are terrible!). Some 17" wheels get the same diameter tires as the 16" rims so you only get .5" over a fwd patriot. I haven't seen any difference for the 2014 models. So its either 8.1", 8.6", or 9.1". I"m around 13" at this point. RRO lift and tires makes a big difference!
