The Jeep Renegade Trail Hawk can handle this hill without much difficulty. But you have to select the right modes for the 4x4 operation. Also disable the ESC to allow for more wheel spin. Otherwise, the traction control will pull throttle power to limit tire slip. The TigerShark Multiair engine has plenty of power for the task, but it needs a bit more RPM to access that power.
It's clear as crystal that 4x4 "Low" mode was not enabled at first. When it finally got up, you can notice that the wheels are spinning way slower to the same engine rotation, and it climbed easily even on street tires. Driver failure, not a car issue.
The low range on this is just first gear. It normally starts in 2nd gear.. It's basically the same first gear I have in my Cherokee Trailhawk with the 2.4. my first gear will do the same thing but my "real" low range has no issues. I like the Renegade a lot but I really wish they would have put a 2.92 transfer case in there. If you want market separation between the Renegade and the Cherokee fine just leave the locker out. At least give it the good low range everybody wants it. I don't like when companies cripple something just to create product separation. That's what Apple does with the iPhone SE. I think it's ridiculous.
this is not a fail. it was just a line picked that did not work and the driver had to pick another line. No different then any other vehicle. This is a win in my book.
Why is this video titled "Renegade Fail"?... Looks like Renegade win... despite the moron driving it. I own one of these little Jeeps. They are badass. They are not a CJ7 or Wrangler Rubicon, but they're quite awesome for what they are...
It's not the power it needs ... its the electronic assisted 4x4 modes that need to let more wheel engagement.. it tends to cut throttle on the modes , in conjunction with some drive when you actually need the wheels spinning momentum to to engage ... it gives the wheels the grip that has most but throttle gets cut , when you could have drive on the less contacted wheels .. cvt is worse but this is better ... you can switch esp off ... I'd like to see some real tests with all modes tried to see which is best on for most traction but as yet I haven't seen any .. its a capable little off roader that just lacks what the wrangler has. So you have to work at it a bit more .. it'll do it most times . Needs more articulation . And more drive to the less gripping wheels . Without the throttle back off.
The 2.0 diesel Versions available in europe have far more grunt for going offroad. The 2,4 seems to suffer from a lack of torque at around 1600rpm and the traction control therefore cannot work as good as it could with more power at the wheels. But still it is no fail. Not really graceful, but it made it up the hill.
Yeah just needs a small amount of momentum because it just doesn't quite have a low enough low range. I would definitely not recommend putting larger tires on this. I have the same engine and transmission in my Cherokee Trailhawk but I have a 56:1 crawl instead of 20:1. Zero issues. In fact , It can climb so stinking hard that it will get you into trouble... For mine as long as the tires will grip, it will climb it no problem... You HAVE to put these renegades in low because low just allows 1st gear and not low is 2nd gear which is way too high.
this is a typical example off driver failure. First of all air down you're tires to improve grip. than try to keep a little 'forward momentum and you will make it.
Miles Miller it's a trailhawk. That the trail rated renegade. The most expensive version of the renegade bc it's 4x4, has hill descent control, and low crawl
@@tankscrittersandurbanhomes5579 No, it's not mine. But I do own it's colorado red Trailhawk twin. You can't buy a Renegade Trailhawk with any transmission other than the ZF conventional automatic transmission. The Trailhawk's 4.33 final drive and the ZF transmission's 4.7-4.8 first gear are how the 20:1 crawl ratio of that version is achieved. And no, 75% of Renegades DO NOT have a CVT transmission, at least in the North American market I live in, because you can't buy one with a CVT in it here.
@@jerroldshelton9367 if you say so. You can get cvt renegades all over here. Our family has owned 3. Traded them off when they couldn't keep up with my commander.
@@tankscrittersandurbanhomes5579No, that's not "me saying so," but more or less quoting Art Anderson, chief engineer for the Renegade. I think he'd be in a position to know that the vehicle has only been offered with the 6-speed Fiat C635 manual and the 9-speed Chrysler 948TE automatic in the North American market. He'd also be in the position to know that the Trailhawk / Deserthawk versions only come with the 9-speed Chrysler 948TE automatic, regardless of what market they're sold in. So, I don't know where you're "getting cvt renegades all over here" but I know for an absolute fact that you're not doing it in the North American market and nobody else is, either.
@@johnfrench6144 locking it in to first gear and adjusting the throttle response is not really a low range. And real transfer cases actually add extra gearing and achieve substantially higher crawl ratios.

The car did not fail. Renegade went through the trail challenge.
More like driver fail.....why would you even attempt this with highway tires?
No bad on street tires.
Next time, put a tire on for trails.
Tigershark is the 2.4L engine? The Multiair is what volume?
Needs lockers. FCA needs to pay more attention to the toaster and give us lockers.
richard miller needs power no more...
@@DaniloPersano the brake based traction control takes power away. Put lockers on it and it will be able to send all the power to the wheels.
worst driving i've seen off road
+sugg3r It's not the driving, it's the vehicle here.
Que pedazo de poronga ¡¡¡¡¡

Needs more power, but there is no doubt that the Renegades 4wd system is impressive!

Il problema è la modalità rock che taglia potenza per evitare lo slittamento ...meglio usare mud o sand cosi non taglia elettronicamente la potenza.
Nice job of this pocket beauty beast, love the color as well
DRIVER FAIL!!!! NOT JEEP FAIL😬
Joshua Stone no power, no climb 🤣🤣🤣 shitty car...
How exactly did it fail?
Driver Fail dont blame the car !
stfu
nop ! pcs >> consoles
It works just fine for me, and I don't even have the trailhawk....
I love this jeep. Best in it class hands down.
It's the car
It needs better tires and diff locks

I love this jeep
would not call it a fail if it got up ...TCS was confused and the guy did not even air down...
More like a win that the car even managed to get up
He should have locked all 4 wheels
Yeah just needs a small amount of momentum because it just doesn't quite have a low enough low range. I would definitely not recommend putting larger tires on this.

You HAVE to put these renegades in low because low just allows 1st gear and not low is 2nd gear which is way too high.
Yes agree, not a fail. But if he wants to get up quicker next time, let some of the air out of the tires.
wow its a trailhawk. did he even put it into rock mode?
Another driver fail in the renegade trail hawk I’ve seen what this lil beast can do !
El renegade no está hecho para el off road extremo, para eso hay otros modelos, el wrangler y el Rubicón.
this is a typical example off driver failure. First of all air down you're tires to improve grip. than try to keep a little 'forward momentum and you will make it.
It made it up so how is that a fail?
Needs better tires and diff locks
kudos for the driver,, Not a fail ,/!! big hill little jeep
Is it a FWD or AWD model?
Miles Miller it's a trailhawk. That the trail rated renegade. The most expensive version of the renegade bc it's 4x4, has hill descent control, and low crawl
Trailhawk isn't the most expensive version.....
Agreed.. And why are you offroading in radial street tires to begin with...
He overcame the obstacle... it’s a win for me not a fail! If anyone failed it was the driver 🙈
No esta diceñado para eso fijence en la cilindrada de los motores no es un beiculo para ese uso, para eso usen un wrangler
I will take that anyday in a street vehicle. In fact i am considering a renegade as my next car purchase.
Did you end up getting one? I just got a 2016 Latitude with 4x4 and I love it so far.
@@Predatron2000 Just got a 2017 love it. 47.500 miles runs great
I can recommend, I have the trailhawk
Jeep renegade never fail...lock all tires and youl be fine..
Clearly a tires’ matter
that's all the driver my grandma could do that in her sleep
Locked it would walk right up. Can you get a locker for fiat axles ? No im not a fan
Driver fail, Renegade win
Macchina di Filippo..
My thoughts.... Only a fail if something or someone ends up broken.
Tops the hill, rubber side down and nobody got hurt. NOT A FAIL.
Has the grip...not the power lol
Street tires..... good luck.
Not really a fail considering it made it in the end, on highway tires no less.
Driver problem
motor caldo de cana 😨
what the hell are you doing~!! hahahahahahahahahahahah
wrong equipment, not the renegade, buy new tires...
Tires look like garbage
Despite comments I think it just shows why you don't use a cvt transmission in a "jeep".
I doesn't have a CVT transmission.
@@jerroldshelton9367 is it yours? How do you know that one doesn't? 75 percent of renegades do.

Not a fail Dan.
Jeeps don't fail. Their inexperienced drivers do.
U don't race with stilettos on, similarly u don't rock crawl with street tyres on, even than the driver was also a novice.
How was that a fail? He cleared a fairly difficult obstacle in a crossover that doesn’t even have low range.
It does have low range , it locks in 1st gear . But it's a combination of electronic throttle back off to wheel spin .. and grip ..
@@johnfrench6144 locking it in to first gear and adjusting the throttle response is not really a low range. And real transfer cases actually add extra gearing and achieve substantially higher crawl ratios.
How is it a fail? He made it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Fiat 🤣🤣😐🤪
Bad driving or amateur.
Tires
why fail? just bad tires.
i guess 4cyl is not enough power look the front wheels are barely moving
Has the power, its the electronic s settings on the 4x4 system..
Real Jeep is a Montero (Pajero) Sport.
Gomme stradali...cosa pretendi?
Not a fail
Mais chora!!!
