The Trailhawk is slotted right in the middle of the Grand Cherokee line-up. The Trailhawk is equipped with all the goodies necessary for off-road fun. The MSPR starts at $43,095. Under the hood is a 3.6 Liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is an 8-speed automatic. EPA estimated fuel economy comes in at 18 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. If you want more power you can upgrade to a 5.7 liter HEMI V-8 for $3295 or a 3.0 Liter Ecodiesel V-6 for $4500.

Reviews of the Trailhawk never mention one very cool addition: it's the only way to get the SRT seats with their extra bolsters without buying an SRT.

I am loving these reviews. It's really cut my car shopping in half. I love getting details all way round. I have been able to narrow down my like list so I'm not wasting time test driving a car that doesn't have the needs or visual things I'm looking for.

This needs a Rubicon edition. Loose the air suspension and just give it a 2-3'' lift so it could fit 33's on it. I miss the old XJ wish it was still around. Oh well looking forward to the Wrangler diesel.

I find the guy who did the Demo and commentary very tolerable. That's important for me. I don't like sitting through a Demo where some guy is PURPOSELY speaking in a SUPER high pitched nasally voice. I fine that extremely un tolerable and not necessary. So tnx for letting/having THIS guy do the Demo. Otherwise, I own the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I like it a lot, very happy with it so far. Good off road, good one, all good so far.

@@badabing3136 Did you just copy and paste that from your other post? Lol. I own a GC. I have owned several GC. I will never buy a Wk2. They are unreliable and junky. The 5.7L "HEMI" is a good engine (looking past the MDS vibration and oil consumption) but thats where the reliability ends. Things really tanked in 2011 for the Grand Cherokee. The WK2 Interior rattles like a plastic shit box also, who are you kidding? lol. I mean come on, not even the seats in the WK2 are good. They are as hard as a church pew. They went from a comfy couch like recliner seat to a god damn wooden bench seat.

@Clarda1. I’m not kidding anyone I fuking own one doosh.. My 2012 wk12 has been reliable, and my interior has not rattled one bit. You don’t even own one but somehow you claim they rattle?? Obviously you’re just pulling that info from some forum jackass that left a bad review because he had way too much crap in his storage/glove boxes to rattle around. The interior is waaay nicer than a WK. the WK interior looks like it was made by fisher price so go suck it. Oh and one more thing - if you actually change the fuking oil regularly the symptoms you describe of the msds practically disappear... no engine can switch from 4 to 8 cylinders have it go completely unnoticeable. But go ahead you fukin doosh, troll on and bash a vehicle that you don’t even own.
