Wow , that looks like a nightmare.

[Soka]

Looks fun as all hell. If I were a rich mofo, I'd buy 3 and roll 'em over for kicks.

i thought i was coming to see a jeep climb over a moose on the road.

You've got to be a bit of a knob to try a manoeuvre like that at speed.

[Runus]

They retested this and it passed. As I recall there was something the testers did to completely make the test fail. I'll see if I can find the article.

Edit: However, it still does get blasted for bad emergency handling in most places.

I see they are aiming for the Saudi market.

Hence the moose test.

This test is called the "Moose Test" because it is meant to represent a moose walking onto a highway when you're going 42.5 MPH and suddenly trying to swerve around it (but not stay in the opposite lane where presumably on-coming traffic is heading).

Seriously. Mislabeled title.

Yeah, they maxed out payload capacity to do this test.

Found it! Chrysler claims the Jeep was overloaded capacity in that test.

Chrysler's corporate press release states that the test is "invalid" because the vehicle was overloaded beyond its stated load capacity. A separate blog on a Chrysler website says it was overloaded by 110 pounds.

So hard to say.

I thought this was going to be a Jeep caving the rad into the block by hitting a moose :/

[Sealda]

Same shit happened with the Toyota Hilux.

Well im sure when they "moose test" they mean what you will be doing if a moose is playing chicken with you

Says in the video that Jeep-Chrysler loaded the thing themselves...

I don't think you can fully prepare for that type of situation.

I've had 3-4 incidents over the past 2 years where I was in a near collision with people inching out into the street ahead of me. Each time, I completely locked up, did not hit the brakes. My mind and body just locked up. I could not respond in a good way. If they would have continued, I would have been in a bad accident. Unless you practice, you can't expect to 'do the right thing.'

I thought it was to see a jeep crash into a moose.

[mrpoopy]

Arabs see this as the superior vehicle.

[skinnyrattler]

Due to a complete incorrect statement by Chrysler, many people believe that we performed the first moose test with 50 kilos (110 lbs) overload in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is not the least bit true. We performed the first moose test with 100 kilos (220 lbs) less than the maximum payload (602 kilos/1 327 lbs) that is registered for the car, a figure which officially comes from Jeep/Chrysler.

From the website, 2nd link in the OP.

play more gt5 or forza.

I'm being somewhat serious.

[ConfusingJazz]

I thought this was about hitting a moose, not driving around one.

I was going to say, is there a car that can hit a moose?

[AlexMogil]

yeep

Don't kids yourself Yimmy. If a Yeep ever gots the chance he'd rolls over you and everyones you care abouts!
