Alas, no auto-hold in D to stop the creeping, only a hill hold. I did a search, Jeep calls it "Hold'n Go". Described in the manual, not available on any JGC even as an option. |

Whereas if you start with the expectations of an off-road truck, the ride might make a lot more sense. |

Chrysler is notorious for the dashboard MPG gauge being overly optimistic, so temper your efficiency expectations some.

It drives better than a truck, and is probably about as good as it gets for an SUV except for a Cayenne, but, yeah, can’t compare to a proper car. It suits our family well when we need the space/highway safety/weather capability. But it gets left in the garage otherwise.

I left Jersey in 2007, so maybe rules have changed, until I left I always had to pump my own diesel (many stations, but in northwest NJ). . . there must be a Gov. Christie meme out there of him pumping diesel in his beach chair, am I right?!?

As the kids have gotten older, I've found any rationale for getting an SUV (or even a big wagon) diminishing.* Equ's use case is quite specific, and I guess if I lived somewhere where it really snowed I'd change my tune. But I weep for the impending future when everything is a crossover.
*please ignore the momentary G class insanity I experienced a few months ago. I'm better now. I think. |

Absolutely not.
This is the only time of year I’m glad for NJ’s gas pumping rules. Oregon just bailed on mandatory full-serve, so we’re the only ones left.
