What is ground clearance? It is just what you think it would be! Is your vehicle high enough to clear obstacles on the ground?
There are some factors that go into mastering off-roading with your new Jeep Grand Cherokee. These include good approach angle, break-over angle, and departure angle.
With the front air dam easily removed, the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s front approach angle can easily be lifted. With just the easy push of a button, the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s Quadra-Life Air Suspension can add over 2.5 inches of ride height.
Off-roading is challenging and there are some things that you should remember. You should drive as slow as possible. Make sure to drive using your common sense and remember that safety should be your first priority.
It is also wise to make use of all the clearance by attempting to not bounce the vehicle.
Another great rule to remember is to aim to ride the tires on high spots. By attempting to straddle a rock, there is an added risk of hanging up.
While your vehicle was designed to handle terrain such as this, it is always important to not push your vehicle too far!
