Dangers of a the Jeep Cherokee

[Crownline79]

If you think hitting a moose is like hitting a whitetail, you're beyond mistaken. It's like hitting a Brahma Bull on stilts. And let's say you do hit it in the legs. Now you have something weighing hundreds of pounds crashing into your passenger compartment (remember when you chose protecting your grill over that?) at 45 miles an hour. That's the same as if you dropped the animal on yourself from a 4th floor window. Nice try, though.

Weld some skewers to the front so the animal sticks, and when you get home, all you have to do is process the meat.

I'm not a big fan of Chrysler products, but I'd like to see them perform this test on comparable SUV's like the Explorer.

X2 I had to make a sudden "cut" @ 70mph in my wifes ford edge and I swear that bitch lifted a wheel

That test was done at 43mph, not 70mph. I'd bet the Edge does better in the Moose Test.

Lower center of gravity FTW.

Isn't this the same BS they did with the explorers or bronco IIs back in the 90's? SUV's are always top heavy.... it's like people saying Jeep needs to recall all jeeps due to death wobble.... when ALL solid front axles have death wobble if you dont take care of your shit.

This, plus the average bull moose is between 1000lbs-1600lbs. A lot of people die hitting moose on the road.

I watched the video, I listened, I realize that this test was done at 43mph.

I was just posting my personal experience, I didn't "try" to roll it over, I didn't cut the wheel as hard as they were. I was just caught off guard that it felt that way, I didn't feel like it should have upset the car that much.

Damn... and the wife and I were both thinking about one of these in a year or so.

Why aren't they called Meese?

[SSMAN]

It didn't roll?? What is the big deal?

[GeorgeG.]

You sure do know a lot of useless shit, Yale.

I learned something from it...

Never said you did! Just clarifying for those reading that your experience should not reflect any sort of design defect by a FoMoCo vehicle that in any way resembles the Jeep's inherent deisgn flaws
