Wow, computers doing all the work of rock crawling, that sounds fun /s. It even limits your throttle response because you are apparently too bad at driving to even control that.

I've got to hand it to Jeep. They're done a great job making that SUV off-road capable right off the factory line. Even in 2016, with cars wimping out, looks like it can take a little abuse and crawl without getting stuck.

Now just to answer the people who think "computers are ruining all the fun..." all you have to do is not use the buttons in the car if you don't want the car doing it for you. Modify the car to your own taste just like you would any other car, and you won't have to worry about not having fun .

So is any and all driveline/drivetrain breakage/damage covered under warranty? I know back in the muscle car days the factory reps weren't very forgiving if you busted something at the drag strip while the car was still under warranty.

The hill descent and the height adjustment suspension land rover has had since 2000.And in 2005 land rover came out with a Terrain management system.Kinda funny to me jeep is bragging about things that are really old technology now.

All the new Chrysler/Fiat line are showing more and more Fiat in them. Fiat copied a lot from the Land Rover (a Bently company I think still) and new to this country, how well done time will tell.
