Patriot Motor: Can You Beat The Weather?

Mankind has achieved a lot. Especially in the last 100 years. Technology and education have allowed us to conquer the waves and the air. We’ve put a man on the moon and can chat with relatives on the other side of the world on computer screens. The leaps we have made have been astonishing. But every now and then the planet decides to remind us that for all our advances, we are still nothing in the face of the sheer power of nature.

Europe is currently gripped and immobilised by a record-breaking cold spell. Transport and communication networks have come crashing down. Hurricane Katrina in the US proved that even the world’s greatest superpower is left helpless in the face of nature’s ferocity. Even here in Australia, the combined devastation of floods and drought has caused untold damage.

But even given the havoc nature can cause, we have learned that mankind still has the resilience and character to persevere. Even through all these extreme weather conditions, people will rebuild and continue to thrive. It is an incredible testament to the human spirit. But it is also important that we learn from these events. As long as we realise that although we can never compete with nature we can learn to live with it, then such tragedies are never in vain.

And one of the things we learn is that being prepared and having the right equipment is essential. Protecting your house against storms and floods can prevent substantial damage. Having the right car, like a Jeep® Patriot, can help you to remain mobile when others are rendered stationary. And this could be life saving. Having the power of a Patriot motor allows you to carry on, even when nature has incapacitated other cars.

From the freezing conditions of central Europe to the parched deserts of our great land, Jeep is the one car that will keep going regardless of what is happening around it. It hasn’t happened by accident. Jeep has always designed its cars to withstand the toughest conditions. That’s why it has been and remains the world’s best 4WD vehicle.

The Patriot’s standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC) includes All-Speed Traction Control (ASTC), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) and Brake Locking Differentials (BLD). They work in seamless harmony to allow the Patriot to react to ever-changing conditions and ensure you maintain control even in the most challenging circumstances.

So no matter what is going on outside and what nature is throwing at you, you know that behind the wheel of the Patriot you’re going to keep going where others can’t.
