Some Jeep fans are very passionate about their vehicle’s ability to handle the dirt, mud, rocks, rivers, and trees in the wilderness, especially when compared to competitors. According to a report by CarsGuide, Jeff Ellsworth, Head of Global Jeep Product Marketing, shares their passion.
While speaking at Jeep’s international launch of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4Xe plug-in hybrid, Ellsworth claims that models made by some of their competitors claiming off-roading do not come close.
“I’m biased, but for sure (we’re better off-road),” says Ellsworth. “There are different types of off-roading, and I have respect for Toyota so nothing against them, but when it comes to rock-crawling, Toyota can’t do what we can do.”
Ellsworth goes on to say, “There’s going to be advantages to what Toyota can do elsewhere, but for rock-crawling, it’s going to be Jeep all the way.”
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is the brand’s most off-road-centered model, boasting 277mm ground clearance, 610mm water-fording ability, electric limited-sli.p differential, and Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II active torque management and off-road systems
