Just FYI ... that steel bar in the rear that you store that trailhawk goodie bag behind ... its purpose is to put under your tire should you become stuck to help give you traction!

Nice review. I've owned a TH since Nov 2015, really solid 4x4 vehicle. I found that metal bar in the back to be a handy spot to strap my laptop roller bag to keep it securely fastened while driving. I also find the ESS system to be a pain in the rear. Has to be manually switched off at each engine start. Wish FCA had made that button a simple on/off.

great review...you helped me make up my mind! I'm a former Wrangler owner but I think now it's time to get some creature comforts in something that can "mildly" go off road if I wanted to. Was on the fence about getting another JK vs the Trailhawk but this kind of convinced me. Thanks again, great informative video!

I have the 2015 and I find the camera is not the best. My wife's Pilot has a much older camera yet it is much easier to use given it is mounted higher on the vehicle and as a result, it gets fewer shadows that make backing up difficult. That being said I like my Trailhawk, I find its definitely the most capable 4WD vehicle I have owned aside from my Wrangler. Still a short wheelbase, narrow frame (but not too narrow), more than adequate off road features...the biggest issue I have is the lack of available off road capable wheels for this model. One more inch of clearance in the wheel well and you could do SOOOOO much more with this vehicle.

Grant like always great review! But buddy is that correct what you said about the usb port disables the infotainment center? You mean if I'm charging my cell phone by using the usb port I have no access whatsoever on the infotainment center? That is a major deal breaker in a bad way. That is so inconvenient , everybody plugs their phone when not in use. Wow thanks for pointing that out.

@leftoverporkchop99722 жыл бұрын
The plus and minus are for the use of "auto/manual" shifting. If you move the shift lever to the left, the indicator on the dash will change from D to a number, which indicates what gear you are in. Pull back on the shift lever and the transmission will shift up a gear, push forward on the shift lever, and the transmission will shift down a gear.....

@@leftoverporkchop9972 thank you for reply but don't understand ... how can you shift without a clutch pedal? And also when and why would you? I am in flat Florida so do not comprehend. We don't even have little hills for the most part.
@leftoverporkchop99722 жыл бұрын
@@ooohlaa13 Probably the best use for it in the Cherokee would be if you are off road and wanted to take control over shifting the transmission rather than letting the car itself decide what gear to be in. There is no clutch required which kind of makes it a weird experience when driving on the road, especially if you are someone who knows how to drive a clutch. Sounds like you can play with it if you want, to see how it works, but you really don't seem to have a need for that feature.
