To the Rescue!

Have you seen the new Jeep Rescue? Aparently somebody left a TJ and an H1 alone in the garage without a proper car cover! If they ever produce it I will no longer hold my grudge about DC producing the Liberty, looks like a step in the right direction... except for the paint. jered

not basic enough.. too much plastic... they are putting too much effort into designing "cool" looking vehicles rather than function.... i guarantee if you open the hood, you will have hours of messing with plastic covers and wires before you can even change the air filter.... one thing i've always loved about jeeps was the simplicity... its going away now

Looks like solid axles, that's a plus!

I saw it in person, and it is even bigger than it looks in the pics.
It really is as big as an h2

yea, it's not a liberty but...the color i can almost appreciate-almost, almost mimics the OD green to a bare extent. but it looks like nissan/honda crossed chromosomes a little much. seems to want to capture the suv crowd. but money is good business. we'll see what turd they churn out of their bum on this one. the grill brings a smile but it evaporates thereafter. and i have one of them that there coil jeeps.

and no, i did not realize that 67% of their partners realized they wished their partner had a larger unit...that pop up always gets me amidst the typing.

looks pretty wicked, but im not too crazy about the grille. i bet the interior is really plush and high maintnence for something that looks like its designed for a trail...

What are popups? Download the Avant browser (free) and you'll forget what they are as well!

go to profile and type your rig description in the "signature" field. then find the option that allows you to always include your signature at the end of your posts. that should be about it

i will now retract anything bad i might have said or thought about the Rescue....

it is an amazing vehicle... likely out of price range to anyone who has never won the lottery though

Yeah, aparently it was meant to be a trendy "rescue" type vehicle for fire departments or camping grounds? I dunno about the interior... doesn't look like it'd get along with dirt/mud very well...

So,

If government and non profit agencies start using these trendy vehicles, who's money is going to pay for them?? <sigh>

Read the stuff they have on them, its insane.

Unequalled Rescue Capability

Powered by a Cummins Diesel and featuring seating for five, the Jeep Rescue’s primary mission is rescue capability, and its list of rescue and safety equipment is impressive:

AC electric power (10 kW) generation in the field
3-D topographical mapping software and topographical navigation system
Under- chassis, point-of-view cameras for avoiding danger in its path
Passive, infrared (thermal) cameras for search and rescue
Satellite telephone; VHF radio, digital video recorder with satellite transmission capability
Retractable 4-point harnesses for vehicle occupants
Exterior perimeter lighting
White LEV lighting for long distance visual search and reduced power use
Folding seats in rear compartment of vehicle
Remote control winch – front and back
“The Jeep Rescue is Jeep capability taken to maximum extreme and that, being Jeep, is unmatchable,” said Creed. “It is everything the Jeep brand represents – in a vehicle equipped for unequalled search and rescue service.”
