Can someone tell me what the off roading ability of the patriot is like?
I am looking at a 4x4 Auto (CVT) 2012 model.
Obviously it is not going to get as many places etc as a Cherokee or above, but for someone doing 98% city driving and maybe 2% off roading, would it suffice?
I really want the ability to get the barge over to stradbroke/moreton/fraser, and drive around on the beach tracks there. Would the patriot handle this?
I'm not concerned if a patriot could not get everywhere on an island, on every track, etc, so long as it could do the very basic ones so there was at least something to do and I could then do a little bit of exploring...
I am not mechanically minded but from what I understand is that the Patriot has a 'digital/computerised' system which uses the lower ratios etc when needed but no actual mechanical/hardware based 'low range' or 'transfer case' ?? Sorry, I'll stop now before I embarass myself!
