- I recently read an account of a popular 4WD magazine taking a
- Grand Cherokee (Jeep's newest SUV) over the Rubicon trail in
- California. They indicated that on some 45 degree downhill
- portions of the trail, the vehicle simply **would not stop**.
- They said it was kind of scary for them and onlookers helping
- guide them down the trail. Cases like this highlight the need
- to be able to override the ABS system.
