Performance and Powertrain

Off-Road Experiences

– Rock-Trac 4×4 system with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio. – Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials (front and rear). – Electronic sway bar disconnect. – 33-inch all-terrain tires.

On-Road Behavior

The roof material provided decent enough sound insulation at speeds up to 70mph. Exceeding these speeds greatly increased the noise coming through into the cabin.

Interior and Technology

The centerpiece of the interior is the new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment system. Its responsiveness and intuitive interface impressed me, making it easy to adjust settings without diverting attention from the road.
