Default 2014 cherokee goes off roading

Hey figure some people would like to see this video with jeep showing the new Cherokees off road capabilities a little. At the end of the video it seems to have a semi steep climb. The video is on the right side of the link, if someone finds a better link please feel free to include it.

THIS. I'm very unimpressed. I've taken my lowered Lancer RA through worse than that.

I would imagine they edited out a ton of video of this thing not being able to go places/being stuck.

It is a very sad attempt to give it off road credibility but ok I got nothing to really save it. Unless next week debut shows it going through a rice for something this will be a big failure I presume. Maybe in person it will be a lot better.

What do you guys want it to do? Climb mt. Everest? Even your jeep can't do that. It's a factory SUV. Of course it won't go the places your 4.5 inch lifted jeep with 33's fully locked will go. It's not a hardcore 4wd. Neither were our xj's when they came out., it looks to go the same places I like to go. It's not a rock buggy, so no it won't be climbing rock ledges. I'm sure if you put a 4.5 inch lift on it a bigger tires. Also added lockers, maybe some sliders, lights. Etc. it could go the same place you could. Edit: the sliders, lights.,etc wont add extra 4wd capability lol
