The five settings include auto, snow, sand, mud, and, for added fun, rock. You can also use the hill descent control to stay in control regardless of how steep a hill you work down. Beyond the traction abilities, the Renegade is trail-rated with water fording to protect sensitive electrical systems. There is also quite a bit of ground clearance, allowing you to clear any obstacle. Wrangler The legend of the Jeep Wrangler grows as soon as you get off-road. The best Wrangler for off-road fun in the backcountry is the Rubicon. It comes with 33-inch all-terrain tires. The standard rock rails help protect the door sills from debris as you enjoy your adventure. The winch-capable steel bumpers have removable end caps so you can have even more fun. The Rubicon also includes a 4:1 low gear ratio that helps with the performance and handling under rough conditions. The electronic sway bar disconnect system lets you disconnect the sway bar, so your front wheels drop and compress for better suspension on harder terrain. Traveling in the backcountry is fun, but it can be dangerous. If you find a disabled vehicle while you are having fun, use the front or rear heavy duty towing hooks to pull them to safety. Grand Cherokee The Jeep Grand Cherokee is perfect for taking your friends and family on your next adventure. The powerful V-8 engine gives you enough force to get through any obstacle. You can easily switch from pavement to off-road with the Quadra-Trac four-wheel-drive system. It is designed to provide you with peak performance regardless of the weather or terrain. You can also use the vehicle to haul your favorite outdoor toys up to 7,200 pounds. If you are planning an off-road trip, consider a Grand Cherokee with the Selec-Terrain system. It gives you the ability to adjust the vehicle for coming terrain changes with a quick turn of your wrist. The system adjusts the power distribution to all four wheels to give you the most traction possible for the terrain. As with both the Wrangler and Renegade, the Grand Cherokee is trail rated. It has the same water fording abilities to protect sensitive systems. The undercarriage skid plates protect your vehicle while you enjoy off-road fun. The skid plates are available for the Trailhawk trim. If you want to narrow your choices down further, stop by Crenwelge Motor Sales.
