It sure was Vards and the sales guy confirmed the lack of seat height adjustment.

The "limited" KK has the 6-way power driver's seat adjustment and 2-way front passenger seat adjustment.

The "sport" version only has the 2-way adjustment in both drivers and passengers which is probably what model LSE3.9 test-drove.

Bad visibility in a KK? How tall are you? I reckon the visibility all 'round is excellent.

I agree, if you want a lack of visibility drive a jku!

I do drive a JKU and I can see better of that than the KK.


8Track - Q - Bad visibility in a KK? How tall are you? I reckon the visibility all 'round is excellent. - UQ.

The subject of 'visibility' is a matter of personal perception. There is no right or wrong. But if you want a demonstration of excellent visibility "all round" then drive a Range Rover [as I do] and you will see what excellent "all round" visibilty is about. The term "Command Driving Position" is well coined for the RR. None of the Jeeps I have driven and/or owned have come close to it.

Couple of pointers.

I think that the KK's are the best on road handling Jeep available today, cornering wise they put the rest to shame bar the SRT8 WK2, that's pretty darn good too !

KK's are also very mod friendly, we put some 4.56 ratio's into a V6 model over the past few days, that really helped it along, also about to do a nice and HD auto tranny cooler for the V6's.

I think stock standard they look pretty bland but with a few decent mods on board, the right sized wheels and tyres - they actually look tough! The CRD Auto is a fantastic thing to drive too.

Agree stu a bit biased though but seriously, it corners like demon. You do pay for it with the tight sway bar off road. I took it up billy goats bluff on the weekend to the pinnacles. Got up flawlessly but was bumpy on the rough stuff.
