Which Jeep is Right for You?

We have always been told that life is not about the destination, but about the journey, and we believe there is no greater pleasure than taking to the open road and just driving. Some of our favorite memories were the ones created while trying to simply get from point A to point B, and after years of traveling on the road, we realize that your vehicle can make quite the difference in how you experience that journey. To us, the vehicle that most embodies adventure and discovery is the humble Jeep. With roots dating back to military use decades ago, it is easy to see how the Jeep’s rugged and tough build makes them more than just sport utility vehicles, but vessels of adventure. But with a now extensive line of vehicles, which Jeep model is the best for you? In ascending order, we have narrowed down Jeep’s line to our top picks along with which driver they’re best suited for.  

For the Novice with Wisdom Beyond Their Years

For those new to the world of off-roading, the excitement and rush that we all experience by flooring the gas on gravel might be intimidating. Coming in at a much more approachable price tag than many other Jeep models, the Patriot and Compass are two vehicles that are perfect if you have just recently decided to get your feet wet with off-roading. These vehicles both have the signature Jeep design elements for which the brand is known as well as the capability to be driven on both urban highways and the occasional bumpy back road. So if you have never tried driving off road but have an indelible hunger for adventure beyond your years, the Patriot or Compass might be the perfect introduction to living life off road.  

For the Techy Off-Roader

One of the only true crossovers on the market, the Jeep Renegade is perfect whether you’re taking it slow and steady on the way to work or blazing down the bumpy and gravely roads less traveled. Just because you enjoy the ruggedness of the off-road lifestyle every now and then does not mean that you want to sacrifice your technology needs. The Renegade comes fully loaded with tech like USB ports and entertainment center standard. If you consider yourself a hobby off-roader and you enjoy some technology creature comforts along the way, the Jeep Renegade might be the right vehicle for you.

For the Explorer of the Future

Made for those who buck the rule of, “keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times”, the Wrangler is a flagship for the Jeep brand and carries in its DNA the company’s love affair with the adventure of the off-road. In fact, this model can trace its history all the way back to the 1940's when it served the Allied forces in World War II. Of course, while the Wrangler of today is much more modern and carries loads of tech features, the purpose of the vehicle has never changed--its rugged build and 285 horsepower engine making every road seem like the path of least resistance. When you drive a Wrangler, you are not so much a driver anymore as the captain of your own expedition. Driven with one of our signature canvas soft tops, you get the freedom to decide if you want to ride with the top down as well as a truly immersive driving experience. So, if you consider yourself a modern descendant of the world’s great explorers, the Jeep Wrangler might just be the ship you have been looking for.
