I found this to be a good video. My beef is that every video I find, these guys are on some mostly wimpy trails. Overall, I think it seems pretty capable for a damn crossover. I guess that's a pro. But I still think they shouldn't have called it a Cherokee, and could have found a way to get those fancy departure angles without making it so ugly!

Those long LCA's in the first vid look really cool.

Nice, yeah that was a pretty good video. It was a wimpy trail yes but it wasn't groomed without any obstacles at all. It certainly does look like a good crossover. Those guys hit a lot of topics right on the head.

Are those guys kidding?!?!!! I've driven down driveways that are more of an off road trail than that!!
At 8:40 they put it in 4Lo and lock the rear diff, FOR WHAT?!!!!
When I was in NM I drove a RWD Panel Van down county roads (aka dirt roads), that were in worse shape than that and it handled fine.
Driving very slowly down a dirt road does not constitute off-roading.

I think they are afraid of Jeep never giving them another vehicle to review if they don't give it the highest praise possible.

You know for an independent suspension vehicle, it's actually pretty impressive ground clearance and travel. I'm anxious to see what the aftermarket will bring to the table with it.
