Hey all!
I found this forum on DuckDuckGo and thought I’d check it out! Based in Arizona, on my second Jeep Patriot. Always loved the idea of Jeep’s but also very budget based so no wranglers for me! Got a 2014 patriot sport 4x4 a few years back from a cheap dealership and ran into issue after issue because of lack of maintenance by previous owners. Traded it in two years ago and got my current baby, 2017 Jeep Patriot Latitude 4x4 2.4 6-speed automatic transmission. Absolutely in love with it and I’ve put 40k on it in two years bringing it to 70k total mileage. I like to adventure overland a little bit and road trips and car camping are my thing. Thanks for letting me join the forum!

Congrats on the new ‘Riot! That’s a pretty broad question, I’ve done quite a bit of exploring in AZ the past few years but there’s still tons more to do. Are you looking for hiking, off roading, history exploration, road trips, camping?

There’s so many neat places. Usery Mountain park and the superstitions have tons of cool hikes. You’re probably less than an hour from Picacho Peak which is a super fun hike, can be a little dangerous for kids though if you take the fam. If you’ve got time in an evening then Piestewa Peak is a fun night hike and it’s neat having the city spread out below you at the top. If you want to talk hikes/drives in the area feel to to message! I don’t know if there’s a spot for meetups on here but I’d be down for a Patriot trail trip some time
