HELLO the fdr2 comes with the 2011 and up compasses as long as it’s the 4X4 and not the FWD

Jeep wasted this system and trail rating badge on a terrible CVT transmission. One of many reasons this will never be a "real Jeep". This should have been offered with the 6 speed auto/manual transmissions, and optional on more then just the Sport and Latitude models. None of there High altitude models had this system as an option. More piss poor Fiat decisions ruining the Jeep name.

People who buy High Altitude trim aren't concerned with offroading; they want leather seats and heated cupholders. The reason this wasn't offered on 5 and 6 Speed autos is because because FDII was designed to make a CVT handle like a straight drive offroader rather than a CVT. It was not needed on Manual transmissions. If you want a capable offroader, don't buy an automatic transmission. If you can't drive a manual but want to pretend like you do, get a CVT with Freedom Drive II.

@@RockandrollNegro People who buy a Jeep Patriot in general aren't concerned with off roading lol. These fake Jeeps are not capable of being real off road machines. They lake the aftermarket support and build quality. These are for grocery getter moms and dads, who want to feel like their in the Jeep family, but can't afford the Wrangler, Gladiators, and Grand Cherokee's.

@@stetsonspurs4680 there are plenty of videos showing the Patriot w/ FDII being a VERY capable offroader from anything rockcrawling to river crossing, most with just a simple lift, I own one and greatly argue the build quality, I have one issue the steering wheel has developed a wobble but I also have 203k on the clock original everything except maintenance stuff a CPS, and alternator

@@stetsonspurs4680 as someone who has driven a 96 Cherokee for 5 years and paid $200 for it, and learned the history and nook and cranny. It has the biggest community and aftermarket support than all other Jeep's combined. It was capable stock, but everyone talked trash just like they did with the Patriot. What made the Cherokee a popular platform was because of its low cost of buying and ownership. Out of all the jeeps right now that are low cost to buy are liberty, old grands, and the patriot/compass. The Patriot isn't that good stock, but it's capable of climbing hills, able to rev up to 6000, the Cvt is far easier to repair vs a traditional transmission. And companies are putting things into the market, rear bumpers, winch bumpers, and just recently poly bushings which is a great upgrade to it's front and rear control arms. Jeep was never good off road stock to be frank with you, those capable vehicles were built up from stock. Jeep is a platform and always was, and the Patriot and compass suits it's application. I'm a delivery driver that often goes off road to get to a house, while the old Cherokee has good ground clearance, it was slow, unrefined, and got 11-13mpgs. About 700-1400$ in fuel a month. That would be the same in a Wrangler with the Pentastar, so it was pointless to upgrade. The Patriot does have its flaws, but is able to get through the worst at twice the speed, get 29 or so on that same route, so fuel is half of what my Cherokee would burn. If I made a choice of change, would be a solid k frame, and a control arm similar to the grand Cherokees straight vs the Patriots up and straight, axles with ujoints instead, and shocks and springs instead of its strut Assembly. Even a throttle body cable instead of the wireless plastic gears, even a company was making a throttle body with metal gears was making them for the 2.4 for the world engine. But yeah...... No. A lot of us remembered what happened with the Cherokee.
