Jeep claims that the Patriot is the "most capable vehicle in its class," and they may be right. Extremely capable off-road when equipped with the "Freedom Drive" package of enhancements, the Patriot is roomy and rugged, a possible fuel-efficient replacement for that aging Wrangler or Cherokee in your driveway.
