I want to see how the driver handle this into Orchard Central, Shaw Tower, and some older HDB MSCP

 

Aiyo such a simple solution. They will drive one of the other cars.

What's Area A, B, C, D?

It's SAF training area from LCK to NTU.  Best natural scenery in Singapore. Some photos:

For your River Crossing:

That 9AT will be totally underutilized if the speed limit is at 70km/h. 

I test drove the Jeep Cherokee some weeks ago... It has the same 270hp 2L Turbo and 9AT as the Wrangler. For the Cherokee,, the GB ECU doesn't allow me to shift beyond 7th gear at 90kmh... and at that speed, rpm was just a cool 1500rpm only. 

So for this Wrangler, haha... prob the GB shift up to 5 or 6th at most... What a waste....

Jeep certainly gives the nostagic feel of the early 80s or 90s.

 

So is their handling and crash test report.

I think a lot of offroad features will be underutilized like center diff lock and FAD (front axle disconnect). What a waste.

I think the Gladiator comes with rear leaf spring for rear suspension. Very truck like...actually it is a truck. Who am I kidding? 😂

So I was asking Jeep about the Gladiator out of curiosity, you can actually apply for the permit from JPJ to drive the Gladiator into Malaysia. As for exact details I'm not too sure but if that's possible then Malaysia will be one way or rather the only way to test and unleash the capabilities of the Gladiator. Just like how the Jeep community host off road trips up north. Not just buying a car but you're buying a lifestyle. A bad ass truck! 🤣 

Bucket list will be to own a fully modded J plate Hilux in Malaysia when I'm old and retired. 😆

Off road la. Up pavement, on grass. No kick. Haha.

Such vehicle only suitable for off road and also park off road. If want to find decent carpark, not many carpark this vehicle can go in?! Lol.

Yeah. It will be troublesome to apply for an additional permit to go M'sia simply because it's a G plate.

Apply to Msia very mafan. In addition, needs Malaysia Goods Driving Licence.

Hilux overprice. It is good to bring heavy load.

Cheaper to get Triton.

I'm sold.

Even if you don't own a 4X4 or have any intention to buy one, you have to admit they are fascinating to watch in action. These are bloody capable and brilliant machines but crazy people pushing their machines to the edge is intense lol.
