Sounds to me that whats happening is buy this car.... add on all these "extras" and then end up at the price of a kk.... Might be worthwhile to try to push for a kk.

The patriot IMO although a nice LITTLE car is meant for the road user who wants a comfortable sensible drive on the tarmac or the very good dirt road and then for the average idiot P plater thats put 20 rims on it and lowered profiles, playing doof doof music to impress no one else but himself and girls with big boobs and little brains.... Oh and cut other road users off especially their bigger brother kj's and have the manners to show you the bird when you have a go at them.... @#$holes

Hi, I bought my wife a 2011 patriot 70th aniversery model. Petrol. Auto. Stock as a rock. Took it out to tallarook, vic, last weekend. Went alright I thought, we went down a few seasonal road closures tracks, seemed to handle it fine, got heaps of wheel lift though. Not much travel! Drove up tracks fine, auto seems to sence when your rock crawling and handle power well. I'm not saying it's great off road but goes alright. As other people said suspension feels good. Some more aggressive tyres would help as we had the factory 18" alloys with sport tyres. Been a good car otherwise, wife loves it!

Default 2007 patriot 2.4 l petrol

Great car off road IMO I ordered the 2 3/4 inch spacer kit from America and put some Michelin all terrains on and went everywhere on fraiser island Australia didn't even let the tyres down because my father inlaw had a prado and thought it couldn't do what he's car could soo jeep came through and went everywhere he could overrocks to reach sandy cape and also 30 degree soft sand hill climbs ( patriot did not have low range and still did it with fully inflated tyres) ! Now my father in law has 100% respect for jeep now! Lol

Did not get bogged once, did not over heat the cvt did amazingly well in the sand the lift from the tyres and spacing kit defiantly redefines this car! Defiantly worth looking at lifting it for the weekend off roader

if a territory can go to fraser, you can.

my second car is a holden adventra, on of the tests for them that holden did was to drive them all over big red. easily (no low range either!)

remember, this country (including fraser) was opened up by 2wd vehicles.

just have recovery points, be willing to let down your tyres, and carry a shovel/ waffle boards, just like they used to.

most of the time on fraser my xj was in 2wd, only went 4wd twice, and never used low range.
