With the crazy storm we got here in Crestline, CA I'm considering trading in my 2020 Honda Civic, sedan 6MT, for one of these. A nearby dealer has several white 2022 Renegade Latitude and Altitude trims for $19-22k. The storm we got left us with close to 5 feet of snow with in about 5 days. Granted I have snow chains and a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 snow tires for my Honda, but being an open diff FWD, it's not really the best for these mountains in snow, which is why I'm considering the trade. Seeing as how this video is over 2 years old now, have you had any issues with your Renegade? Is there anything major you wish was different about it, outside of anything cosmetic?
I love the Jeep Renegade but I have a 2017 yet it has become "my unexpected favorite". It's small, perfect for people with long legs such as myself, it is so easy and smooth to drive, I love just staring at my vehicle and smiling, even gave it a unique name, and very comfortable for all passengers. I love my 2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude.
It's funny how you guys have a Renegade Latitude up there, down here in Brazil I just bought a 2017 Renegade Longitude. Different fuel, 1.8 liter engine runs on gas and ethanol, but yelds the same 35 MPG though not a beast, at 139 HP and a little over 185 Nm torque. Excited to have that cool toy! And the way the weather is going wild down here, I might as well be driving in the snow!
I HAVE A NAME FOR MY RENEGADE I CALL HIM IKE, AS IN DWIGHT D EISNHOWER . THE JEEP BRAND WAS STARTED 1941 AND WAS A WORKHORSE DURING WW2. GENERAL EISNHOWER WAS THE THE TOP GENERAL SO MY JEEP IS IKE
I bought a Renegade Latitude 4x4 from Carvana. Got a great deal on a 2020 with 17000 miles on it. I grew up in Minnesota and learned how to drive on snow in a R/W drive Chevrolet Impala. Driving the Renegade is an adventure. I really enjoy it. The 4x4 works really well when I've used it out hunting getting into some nasty back areas. No problems at all. Goes up and down backwoods tracks with ease. I've been up to northern Wisconsin in the snow and it performed admirably. My sister is on her third Renegade and she loves them. I can now understand why. It's got the "cute" factor going for it
My wife and I bought a 2020 Renegade Limited June of 2020. After an electrical hiccup that kept us at Jeep service 3 times in 6 months we got a new battery that fixed everything and 4 free oil changes. Recently drove from Chicago area to DC to drop off our son at school. Got avg 29 mpg. 1.3 L turbo. So far we both really like this car. It's hers but I drive it all weekend. Just got a roof rack for it and it looks awesome. Perfect size for us as all kids are grown and out of the house. It seems a lot to ask of this 1.3 L engine but so far so good. Can't find anything about changing oil on this engine..... Seems like it might be a hassle with the protective plastic cover underneath. Anyway...... Nice video and I'll look forward to more. Oh yeah. Fantastic in the snow..... So easy to control. Great 4WD system.
I need to make a video on changing the oil . Crazy how well the 1.3 L performs on the freeway. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Renegade.
I bought a 2021 Jeep Renegade sport two years ago and I love it. I live in mid Ohio and it is a excellent daily driver. I really only use the snow mode when in deep snow. Full auto mode work great for standard driving in all weather.
It’s seems like in snow mode. It’s like a lower torque setting. I say that because I tried in auto and the snow mode. In snow mode the wheels don’t spin so fast.
I've got a 2017 Renegade Latitude 4x4 heated seats,steering wheel great sound system. Handles the snow great I drive 45 miles to work good fuel economy nice ride
I have a 2016 Renegade Trailhawk, live in a mountainous area, and I absolutely love it. It has a handful of electrical hiccups like telling me my DRL is off but it isn't, but man... worth every penny. It's a fun ride, looks fun...just a fun car.
About a month ago I was coming home in the snow from work in my Jeep renegade I kept it in four-wheel drive not any of the mods for it and it handled beautifully
In deeper snow i left it in auto and just hit the 4wd lock. A lot better with power delivery. If your really stuck or trying to get out of a driveway I’ve heard sand is best. Sand has the most power and allows for wheel spin
Hold down the traction control button. if you hold it for 15 seconds , it also shuts off the stability control. Then the Renegade is tons of fun in the snow. i have a 2016 with 64000. I have have really liked it since day 1.
I've been considering getting one for my wife but I'm fully aware I'll be the one working on it. You seem like one of the few commenters who has had yours since new, how has it held up? My wife wants it to be a stick shift which means we'll be getting the 1.4 l. From where I understand the renegade is basically a Fiat 500 with an SUV body dropped on it right?
Thanks for sharing, just bought my first Jeep Renegade! Can't wait to play in the snow and I will definitely be turning traction control off when needed.
What model and yr did you get? I am looking to get the trail hawk for the better ground clearance and underbody protection. I heard they perform great in snow and mud
My wife has the 2018 jeep renegade sport upland edition 4x4. She's had the jeep about 2 1/2 years now. We live in upstate New York and I tell you what, in the snow this jeep renegade upland edition 4x4 handels pretty good. The 2018 jeep renegade upland edition has the same terrain select options available. Auto, snow, sand, mud and 4x4 lock. It also has the tow hooks in front. Overall the jeep renegade is a pretty decent jeep , especially being small. But the renegade upland edition 4x4 is a true 4x4. It has been categorized as being trailhawk like .
Upland Edition here too. The Renegade is a very capable vehicle. 20" of snow, ice, has been an awful winter 2022 but the Renegade has earned its keep. We do hear the occasional wisecrack that its a Fiat, not a real Jeep, etc. Whatever. Wife gets to work on time no matter the weather and home safe. Could 't ask for more.
Great video Steve. I have a 2016 limited and it performs great here in the UK winters where we too get plenty of snow. Also good to see a review on the Renegade that's not a Trail Hawk for once, just doing normal, real world winter driving 👍
The Renegade performed great though the winter. Having 4x4 was one reason we wanted the Renegade for bad weather. Thanks Stuart for sharing your experience with the Renegade. Have a great weekend
@@sweepdog Hi Wayne. Yes I certainly would, grab one if you can because they don't seem to come along often. Most here in the UK seem to be the Longditude spec which don't come with heated seats or steering wheel as standard . They're a popular, good sized and practical motor.
@@slimboyfat3306 Thanks Stuart for replying!! Yeah I’ve noticed on Autotrader there’s not many Renegade 4x4 around. Will keep an eye on the market for one at a decent price.
My wife bought a 2021 renegade limited back in May and she loves it. I'm not a fan of a few things, I strongly dislike the start stop feature, the lane assist can be a pain especially on the rural country backroads here in the middle of nowhere central MN...we haven't really had much snow yet but we did have a couple bad thunderstorms in August that took down trees and power lines all over the area, we had to go offroading to get into town, mud mode works very well and I can honestly say that it impressed me with what it can go through. My only concern for winter driving around here is the lane assist on icy roads. It normally turns itself off on dirt roads but sometimes it will come back on and it tries to keep you right on the edge of the dirt road, if it does this while the dirt roads become ice roads I expect to lose control and end up in the ditch. I guess we have to wait for the real Minnesota winter to begin to find out how its going to handle.
@@OuzoLouGarage I finally tried it on snow and ice, I strongly recommend turning it off if you travel on snow or ice. There was one place where construction has the lane closed off and you have to drive on the shoulder and the lane assist did not like that at all. I swear the car was determined to run down traffic cones. The 4x4 in auto has a slight delay from when you step on the accelerator to when it actually goes. I've noticed that the delay goes away when it is in any of the 4x4 modes but not if I push the lock button while in auto. Another dislike, but is also a like is the skid plate under the engine. It is nice knowing it is there to protect the engine but it makes a simple oil change a little more time consuming. The dealership recommended oil changes every 10k miles which seems insane to me so i changed it at around 5k miles. Out here in the middle of nowhere the 0w-30 oil is a little tough to find.
@@Intim31976 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Renegade in snow and ice. Makes sense to turn off lane assist. I pictured the Renegade wanted to take the cones out. Lol That is crazy at 10k change the oil . I'am with you 5k is best. Thanks
@@OuzoLouGarage I finally got to try out the Renegade with a real snowfall, we got about ten inches of snow last night here in the middle of nowhere north central Minnesota.. At first it moved maybe a foot, after an hour of trying I can go about fifty yards or so...the snow is fairly heavy and I am pushing snow with the front bumper. I need to leapfrog my wife's Renegade and my Tahoe so I can bring my wife to work, she's over an hour late to open her store today. Overall, for a tiny car, it isn't too bad in snow
It does def drive you out of the snow tracks sometimes which can be dangerous! There's a button to turn it off its near the auto button for the climate control. You can control the sensitivity and the strength of the lane assist separately through two separate settings in the screens menu. Hope you see this so you can adjust it!
I just bought the Renegade Lattitude for myself in Black. Really nice. The wife has the bigger vehicle 2022 Nissan Pathfinder fully loaded and my other vehicle is a Harley. NM doesn’t get much snow. As a second vehicle, I really love this Jeep Renegade. Very impressive.
Looks like it handled it pretty good. We got hit hard with snow recently also. Got to use my 4x4 for the first time also and man was I glad I had it. Take care brother
Took mine out in the snow this week. It does great, but I don't have snow tires, just all-weather. I think when mine is in snow mode, the computer kicks in a little too quick when you are turning out on a road, as you pointed out. I noticed that too. I've been impressed with it, other than that. The computer basically tries to keep you safe in snow mode.
Thanks for the video... this type of video helps a lot especially when you are looking in to buying one ... we don't get snow but we have lots of sand and mud.. Ed from Miami Florida
I just came across this video. And I'm watching it as I'm typing this comment. I have a 2019 renegade trailhawk. I live in Anchorage alaska but born and raised in Detroit area. I have found that when Turing in deep snow, having the traction control off helps a lot to keep the tiers moving when trying to get over the transition between a plowed road and a not plowed but driven on road
Great tip to share with us on turning traction control off. Nice to see a Detroiter watching our videos . And you probably get a lot of snow in Alaska.
We've got a 20018 Renegade Latitude. Like most vehicles the original factory tires aren't great, so I put on a set of snow rated tires which made a noticeable difference. My only complaint is that the ground clearance is just too low - in 10" of snow I'm sure you were "pushing snow" as you drove through that.
I LIKE THE TRAIL HAWK BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY RENEGADE MODEL WITH LED HEADLIGHTS AND LIGHTING....I WILL BUY ONE.....EXCELLENT VIDEO, THAT SNOW WAS DEEP, TIRES LOOKED TO BE ALL SEASON, JUST IMAGON IT WITH QUALITY SNOW TIRES....KUDOS TO YOU MY MAN...
My renegade sport definitely grips in snow but I prefer running it in just 4x4 lock with no traction control lot of fun only got stuck in 3 ft of snow once this winter
We bought a 2018 Latitude Model and have owned it for a little over 2 years now and it has handled everything good ole Texas Bipolar weather can throw at it !!! 8" Snow wasn't a issue either. Some of them do have a oil consumption issue with the 2.4l but ours hasn't had the issue only maintenance has been oil changes, Air Filter at 5000 mile intervals and tire rotation every 10,000 miles. Lots of people talk garbage about it origins being from its Platform Mate the 500x and made in Italy. We love ours hopefully it becomes a part of the family like ours has.
I have a 4door wrangler sport and a 2017 wrangler Rubicon but now my favorite is my 2022 4wheel drive renegade jeep 🚙. Awesome for the daily driver and great in the deep snow 🌨 with adequate tires here in Colorado
It’s seems like in snow mode. It’s like a lower torque setting. I say that because I tried in auto and the snow mode. In snow mode the wheels don’t spin so fast.
Great video! Glad to see the snow feature in full force. I just got me a 2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude in September (an unexpected Bday gift lol). These last few days were the first time I used the snow feature since we got a bunch of ice and snow at my parents and loved it. I got the lime green color by accident, but I love my Yoshi lol.
i just got a 2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude cant wait to drive it in the snow here in CT. So far we havent had any go figure its been in the 50s here this winter. Probably snowing in TX again lol
In Michigan, we have been getting snow, and then it will warm up into the 40s. When you do get a chance to drive the Renegade in the snow you'll enjoy it. Sorry for the late reply. Thank you
The dealer gave us a Renegade while the fix and issue under warranty. My wife didn’t like the renegade much and now likes it better than the compass. Lol. I always like the little guy. Is really capable especially if you get the Trailhawk. You do lose some room at the cargo and no armrest/cup holder on the second row. On the plus because of the chip shortage they deleted the stupid start/stop on this 21 limited renegade.
I was so happy they deleted the stupid stop start system haha I was so worried when i picked it up that there wasn't a way to turn it off but to my delight it doesn't exist. That was a relief for sure. I had a loaner compass once where the starter kept locking up and it left me stranded for 10 min once before I got it going finally. It was only 3 years old and 38k. Yikes and no thanks to the stop start!
I like those close up shots of the wheels and ground clearance in the driveway! Bro, we used get pulled with a ski rope on snow skis in that kind of snow. Probably get thrown in jail now, but back in the day....
going to look at a 2017 Trailhawk which has a two inch lift. Would love to get a newer model but they are hard to find. I just hope it's not a lemon. Have a 2010 Dodge Nitro and I Love her, but she needs some work. What are your thoughts?
I have the 2017 Trailhawk and its OK in blowing snow. In heavy wet snow it does not like the steep grades. Like everything else, tires make the difference.
Thanks a lot for the video it's very helpful, quick question do you know where is the location of the AWD sensor? Please help me All wheel drive Sensor location feel Renegade 2015
2015 jeep renegade latitude here, in nd. And todays our 1st snowfall with Alvira! And was just wondering the modes 🤔 Have 83k miles. Tranny shifts hard and goofy. Love the manual mode, for hills and such! Infotainments tiny, but all you need really! Aaand my manual ‘93 geo metro, didn’t have cruise. So cruise controls a… DREAM 🤩 Fun nimble vehicles!!
dear ouzo, i just have to ask. how well does the renegade hold up on slippery roads and going down steep hills? sincerely, a stranger who is interested in a jeep renegade
Great video, really enjoyed it, I love the colour of your wife’s Jeep, but then I’m a girl too lol, it seems like a capable off road vehicle from your review, looking forward to detailing videos on it!!.
Omg I have the same 2021 Jeep Renegade in a bikini teal color with a matte black strip on the hood and it was the 80th Anniversary of Jeep too so decked out Jeep seats and decals I love my car handles so well btw p.S. the doors do come off I take them off when I go mudding
As i can see you have summer tires, i think Brigdestone Turanza, tell me if i am wrong :) winter tires changing the game :) aslo did you try other modes on snow ???
Just out of curiosity, did you extend the wiper blades up because of the snow? We just got hit here in Texas with around a total of 6-8 inches. Didn’t even think to pull up my wiper blades.
I extended the wiper blades because on the snow it helps clean the windshield. Helps with freezing rain also. I did see on the news Texas got hit with snow. Stay safe
Seemed to do well, but how about the tires? I'm considering a Renegade but I hate the tires that come stock. How big/wide/tall can you go up without causing gear problems?
I wanted the Bronco but the wife wanted this Renegade the color is what got her. Us Michigan people always say up North that where everyone goes on Vacation and most have cabins. When are you coming back
I live in Buffalo too and have a latitude 4x4 renegade. It does great in the snow I drive all over Catt S Erie and Chaut counties and its a beast in the snow even with the crappy all seasons it came with. Def recommend
@@onthefly1050 I bought the 2021 Renegade Trailhawk back in May and love it. The tires mine came with are the Wildpeak AT3. I had those on my F150 so I was happy to see them on the Renegade.
i had mine in 4WD Auto, disengaged the traction control and every time the wheels spun a bit it would make a horrible banging, sounded like i was ripping the tranny apart! wont do that again!

So far, there are no issues with our Renegade. We just need better tires for winter months . Let us know if you get one.
was $19-22k msrp? or out the door price?
@@dwyanelee2203 that was the advertised price on Car Gurus and the dealer website. Not sure what it'd be with tax and fees.
@@BigRedtheGinger I see. Thanks for the reply!
Love mine. 2017 90k not one issue
just got a good deal on a 2020 and have to say it is one of my favorite cars that I have owned in the last ten years.
Yes they are pretty decent. I still have an older Compass which handles the snow like nothing.
It's like a mini snowmobile.

I think when mine is in snow mode, the computer kicks in a little too quick when you are turning out on a road, as you pointed out. I noticed that too. I've been impressed with it, other than that. The computer basically tries to keep you safe in snow mode.
The Renegade did a great job in snow mode with 10 in of snow. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Renegade
Thanks for the video... this type of video helps a lot especially when you are looking in to buying one ... we don't get snow but we have lots of sand and mud.. Ed from Miami Florida
Glad this video helped you out. And thanks Ed
Nice vid . Thanks for putting this together for us
I just came across this video. And I'm watching it as I'm typing this comment. I have a 2019 renegade trailhawk. I live in Anchorage alaska but born and raised in Detroit area. I have found that when Turing in deep snow, having the traction control off helps a lot to keep the tiers moving when trying to get over the transition between a plowed road and a not plowed but driven on road
Great tip to share with us on turning traction control off. Nice to see a Detroiter watching our videos . And you probably get a lot of snow in Alaska.
We've got a 20018 Renegade Latitude. Like most vehicles the original factory tires aren't great, so I put on a set of snow rated tires which made a noticeable difference. My only complaint is that the ground clearance is just too low - in 10" of snow I'm sure you were "pushing snow" as you drove through that.
I was pushing through the show for sure. Thanks
I have a 2022 renegade 4x4 turbo and I just love it
Thanks for sharing
18 trailhawk w 800 lb stereo in the back and shes a beast for sure. Love it
Trailhawk is a beast for sure. Thanks
I LIKE THE TRAIL HAWK BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY RENEGADE MODEL WITH LED HEADLIGHTS AND LIGHTING....I WILL BUY ONE.....EXCELLENT VIDEO, THAT SNOW WAS DEEP, TIRES LOOKED TO BE ALL SEASON, JUST IMAGON IT WITH QUALITY SNOW TIRES....KUDOS TO YOU MY MAN...
Some better tires would make a huge difference. Thank you
Going to be getting a 2019 renegade trailhawk this weekend!
Congratulations Ryan. Let us know how you like your new Renegade.
@@OuzoLouGarage Ended up going with a 2020 Jeep Renegade Limited. Awesome so far and helpful for winter driving!
My renegade sport definitely grips in snow but I prefer running it in just 4x4 lock with no traction control lot of fun only got stuck in 3 ft of snow once this winter
Taking traction control off in the snow has to be fun .
We bought a 2018 Latitude Model and have owned it for a little over 2 years now and it has handled everything good ole Texas Bipolar weather can throw at it !!! 8" Snow wasn't a issue either. Some of them do have a oil consumption issue with the 2.4l but ours hasn't had the issue only maintenance has been oil changes, Air Filter at 5000 mile intervals and tire rotation every 10,000 miles. Lots of people talk garbage about it origins being from its Platform Mate the 500x and made in Italy. We love ours hopefully it becomes a part of the family like ours has.
Was impressed how well the Renegade handle the snow . My wife has been enjoying the Jeep. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Renegade.
That's a Jeep playground out there!
It was fun seeing what the Renegade could do in the snow.
I have a 4door wrangler sport and a 2017 wrangler Rubicon but now my favorite is my 2022 4wheel drive renegade jeep 🚙. Awesome for the daily driver and great in the deep snow 🌨 with adequate tires here in Colorado
Sounded like the diesel ? Very capable suv brother. Appreciate the outdoor camera angles, gives ya a real sense of what she do. 👍
The Renegade isn't a diesel but the engine does sound like one. Thanks buddy
Renegade has an 1.3l turbo with 9 speed transmission
@@OuzoLouGarage good to know, i thougth the same since here in south america 4x4 jeep renagade are mostly 2.0L diesel (1.3T engine will arrive soon)
Winter tires are worth every penny.
Winter tires would help
There's a button on the console near the shifter where you should be able to turn the traction control off, but still have the awd on.
Going have to look into that. Thank you for sharing
Does anyone have any information about servicing the 4wd?
It’s seems like in snow mode. It’s like a lower torque setting. I say that because I tried in auto and the snow mode. In snow mode the wheels don’t spin so fast.
Great video! Glad to see the snow feature in full force. I just got me a 2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude in September (an unexpected Bday gift lol). These last few days were the first time I used the snow feature since we got a bunch of ice and snow at my parents and loved it. I got the lime green color by accident, but I love my Yoshi lol.
Glad you got to drive your Renegade in the snow and it performed well. Thanks for sharing ..
I love that color it is hard to find !!!
I just got my Renegade a month ago 2021, I'm excited always loved jeeps...now can finally afford one...
Congratulations on buying your Jeep Renegade. We pain on making detailing videos on the Renegade soon. Have a great weekend
Hello… I also live in Michigan downriver area Wyandotte/Southgate area.
We are neighbors. Thanks
i just got a 2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude cant wait to drive it in the snow here in CT. So far we havent had any go figure its been in the 50s here this winter. Probably snowing in TX again lol
In Michigan, we have been getting snow, and then it will warm up into the 40s. When you do get a chance to drive the Renegade in the snow you'll enjoy it. Sorry for the late reply. Thank you
beatuiful color
Thanks You. Have a great day
i have a 2015 trailhawk. i love it. getting ready to upgrade a lil bit
There Alot of nice upgrades for the Renegade.
The dealer gave us a Renegade while the fix and issue under warranty.
My wife didn’t like the renegade much and now likes it better than the compass. Lol.
I always like the little guy. Is really capable especially if you get the Trailhawk. You do lose some room at the cargo and no armrest/cup holder on the second row.
On the plus because of the chip shortage they deleted the stupid start/stop on this 21 limited renegade.
That has to be nice not having start/stop.. Thank you for sharing
I was so happy they deleted the stupid stop start system haha I was so worried when i picked it up that there wasn't a way to turn it off but to my delight it doesn't exist. That was a relief for sure. I had a loaner compass once where the starter kept locking up and it left me stranded for 10 min once before I got it going finally. It was only 3 years old and 38k. Yikes and no thanks to the stop start!
I just brought a 2019 so far I'm loving it
The Renegade is a nice Jeep.Thanks
What tires do you have
I got a 2020 renegade latitude. Only thing I dont like is I wish had just a little more clearance and a spare tire.
Spare tire would be nice .
I got my renegade in February I love it
Thanks for sharing.
Great video
Karl
Thank You
Great video! I have a 2015 latitude 1.4T 6spd manual. Best vehicle i ever owned, and great in snow. Totally agree must trun off trac control
6spd manual has to be fun to drive. Thanks for sharing
Its definitely the set up.
I have a 2017 latitude 1.4 6 speed turbo I love it
Man
I like those close up shots of the wheels and ground clearance in the driveway! Bro, we used get pulled with a ski rope on snow skis in that kind of snow. Probably get thrown in jail now, but back in the day....
We would pull each other in a sled good times back then. Probably would get thrown in jail for car skiing
Awesome video! Feels like one friends or neighbors showing me the family or wifey ride! Thanks bro keep it up! #liked #subscribed
We try to make it feel like you are with us. And thanks, brother, and have a bless new year.
Added this to my 4 wranglers
Got me a Jeep Wrangler a few months ago . Really enjoy the Wrangler it's my 3rd one. Happy New Year
Hi we don’t a lot of snow very often, but I wondered how this is on icy roads?
The Jeep Renegade handles good on icy roads. Still needs to drive at a safe speed on ice
We have spiked winter tires here in my country...
That has to be nice to use
6:50 LOL I love that shot, snow all in the lens.
That was a good one
When you were driving in the snow, did u lock your 4x4 lock or did u just turn the knob on snow?????
Just turn the knob to snow mod
going to look at a 2017 Trailhawk which has a two inch lift. Would love to get a newer model but they are hard to find. I just hope it's not a lemon. Have a 2010 Dodge Nitro and I Love her, but she needs some work. What are your thoughts?
The Renegade should be a great vehicle for you.
I ended up with a 2016 orange she’s a beauty!!
I have a 2018 I love it dearly
Thanks for sharing
Good video Steve. We’ve been driving a Jeep Compass at work. Pretty good vehicle in the snow.
Thanks Mitch we need to make the Foxbody Mustang video soon
Put some Falken WildPeak AT Trails on..you will not be disappointed with the amount of traction you will gain
Need to when these tires wear out. thanks for the tip
Dang I think you need to do about a dozen snow videos this winter.
I need to have the make one on the renegade
I have the Trailhawk model and LOVE it!!!
Trailhawk are sweet.
I have the 2017 Trailhawk and its OK in blowing snow. In heavy wet snow it does not like the steep grades. Like everything else, tires make the difference.
Very true tires make the difference
Thanks a lot for the video it's very helpful, quick question do you know where is the location of the AWD sensor? Please help me All wheel drive Sensor location feel Renegade 2015
Check around the engine from the picture you showed on the forum it may be by the engine or under dash
I enjoyed your video thinking about buying a 2016 renegade would be driving on a lake during winter.
That would be fun driving the Renegade on the ice.
2015 jeep renegade latitude here, in nd. And todays our 1st snowfall with Alvira! And was just wondering the modes 🤔
Have 83k miles. Tranny shifts hard and goofy. Love the manual mode, for hills and such! Infotainments tiny, but all you need really! Aaand my manual ‘93 geo metro, didn’t have cruise. So cruise controls a… DREAM 🤩 Fun nimble vehicles!!
They are a fun nimble vehicles. Thanks for sharing
Great video man! I own a 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport. I love it!
Thanks Alvaro..
I freaking love my Renegade Desserthawk 😎
I like driving the Renegade on the freeway. The Renegade did great on a 9hr trip
@@OuzoLouGarage thanks. Taking mine for a 9hr trip in one week up the coast to San Francisco.
dear ouzo, i just have to ask. how well does the renegade hold up on slippery roads and going down steep hills? sincerely, a stranger who is interested in a jeep renegade
The Renegade handles pretty good with the stock tires. If it had more of an A/T tire, it would be a lot better.
Cool make more videos on the renegade
We have us detailing videos on the Renegade.
Currently drive the 2019 jeep renegade sport but haven’t drivin in snow yet but live in Upstate NY so anytime soon😅
You'll be driving in snow soon. ❄️
I kind of want one. Might trade my Xterra 4wd in on one.
You'll have to go test drive one.
Great video, really enjoyed it, I love the colour of your wife’s Jeep, but then I’m a girl too lol, it seems like a capable off road vehicle from your review, looking forward to detailing videos on it!!.
My wife love the color of the Jeep it's a girl color for sure. I get some weird looks when I drive it.lol
Omg I have the same 2021 Jeep Renegade in a bikini teal color with a matte black strip on the hood and it was the 80th Anniversary of Jeep too so decked out Jeep seats and decals I love my car handles so well btw p.S. the doors do come off I take them off when I go mudding
The Renegade does handle good. Happy New Year
For visitors to the DC Metro Area: please be aware that we get ice here, not just soft cold snow.
Great advice Mark
The snow doesn’t work that great in 9 inches of snow. Got to test it yesterday and ended up putting it in mud mode and worked a lot better
We'll have to try mud mode next time. Thanks for sharing
Living there is it bad for cars to get that cold and snowing ? I live in a very hot town so idk
It's not to bad for cars in winter just have to make sure you have a good battery and tires and keep the gas tank almost full .
As i can see you have summer tires, i think Brigdestone Turanza, tell me if i am wrong :) winter tires changing the game :) aslo did you try other modes on snow ???
Tires on our Renegade are Goodyear eagle ls . And I haven't tested any other models in the show wish Jeep would let me. Thanks Jovan
I have 2 2021 turbo Renegades. They will not go into 8th or 9th gear on a flat highway or downhill with a tailwind. Other than that, they are great.
The Renegade are great vehicles. Just not a fan of the color my wife picked. Thanks for sharing 👍
Just out of curiosity, did you extend the wiper blades up because of the snow?
We just got hit here in Texas with around a total of 6-8 inches. Didn’t even think to pull up my wiper blades.
I extended the wiper blades because on the snow it helps clean the windshield. Helps with freezing rain also. I did see on the news Texas got hit with snow. Stay safe
Seemed to do well, but how about the tires? I'm considering a Renegade but I hate the tires that come stock. How big/wide/tall can you go up without causing gear problems?
For new tires I would go with a All terrain stock size.
I switched to 225/65-17 with no problems. Any larger might be a problem.
@@Rinifi that's the size I'll go with. They won't mess with the gears and won't rub the fender wells. Mine is front wheel drive sadly
I love the fact you said,....."Up North"! I'm coming home Brutha! Why did you not get the Bronco? Just curious.Great footage,...loved it!
I wanted the Bronco but the wife wanted this Renegade the color is what got her. Us Michigan people always say up North that where everyone goes on Vacation and most have cabins. When are you coming back
That's right!
which engine ur renegade hav?? here in brazil we hav the 2.0t diesel 4x4 9 gears and the 1.8 petrol 4x2
our Renegade has the 1.3l
The only snow we get here is in the higher peaks of these mountains. These Appalachian mountains are the last place ya wanna be in the snow.
Don't sound like fun up there
5:50 Little go pro "BBBRRRRRR Help Me"
I want to get Gro Pro 10
Great review. I'm looking at a 2021 Renegade Trailhawk. I live in the Buffalo NY area and we get a lot of snow.
The Trailhawk will work great when you get NY snow. Thanks
I live in Buffalo too and have a latitude 4x4 renegade. It does great in the snow I drive all over Catt S Erie and Chaut counties and its a beast in the snow even with the crappy all seasons it came with. Def recommend
@@onthefly1050 I bought the 2021 Renegade Trailhawk back in May and love it. The tires mine came with are the Wildpeak AT3. I had those on my F150 so I was happy to see them on the Renegade.
i had mine in 4WD Auto, disengaged the traction control and every time the wheels spun a bit it would make a horrible banging, sounded like i was ripping the tranny apart! wont do that again!
Wonder why it would make that noise with traction control off.
Great video. Renegade took it like a champ!! But please keep that stuff up there....LOL
We will try to keep all this snow here. Take it easy Pete
Thanks for sharing the Jeep tutorial enjoyed it sledgehammered that like button stay safe awesome and blessed
You guys stay safe and have a blessed week
What state is there?
Michigan
Love my trail hawk I go-to Monroe occasionally 🚬🌲👍
Monroe is not too far from us. Thanks
I'm looking forward to Spring
Me to
My wife's 2019 Renegade Sport doesn't like snow or sand
Happy New Year.
Is this diesel or gasoline?
Gasoline engine.
Anybody else have a Ram+Renegade combo?
I have a Ram Truck also.
