The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021 Ford Expedition have 4x4 drivetrains that can go off the pavement. Most AWD SUVs can handle dirt, but not all perform the same in off-road conditions. How do the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer do when it comes to dealing with rocks, mud, or snow? Here is how two mid-trim options compare.Â

Because of its air suspension, all-terrain tires, and state-of-the-art traction management system, the 2021 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is a better option if you plan to head off the road. To be fair, Jeep began as a utility vehicle maker, and they have perfected their rugged designs over the decades. Few competitors can match their performance in this area.Â
What else do Surrey, BC drivers get when they purchase a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk? This trim offers electronic limited-slip differential, underside skid plates, and stability control. You also get practical extras, including a full-size spare tire and a roof rack.Â
Finally, the Trailhawk has a Trail Rated badge, which Jeep only awards to vehicles that pass a range of off-road tests for traction, handling, water fording, and ground clearance.Â
