We take the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk off roading at FCA's Lyman Trail, where all FCA off roading vehicles are tested for trail rating. These obstacles show you just how capable the Trailhawk is. Check it out.

It's the most beautiful off-road in the world. The silhouette is perfect.

So many people bash the WK2s capabilities. I only have a 19 Laredo E, with one size bigger tires, the basic QT1 4x4...I keep it in sport mode for lower gearing and i climb the same type of hills and go through same type of muddy water, even a wet water pouring down, hill and it climbed it.

Though today's crossover vehicles don't have the articulation of the truck-framed SUV predecessors due to the fully-independent suspension design, they make up for that with well-programmed AWD systems with brake-actuated LSD and locker-like effects to transfer torque to wheels with grip. Thanks so much for uploading this, this is some of the finest crossover vehicle off-road testing I've found on KZfaq!

Jason Moyle - It's not even a "proper" traditional 4WD, it's a full-time 4WD, which is just a glorified AWD system.

@AWDfreak6 жыл бұрын
I'm sorry, but I'm sure many off-road enthusiasts would agree, that a "proper 4WD" is a 4WD that is part-time. No center differential, no "full-time 4WD", just a true, honest 4WD system that requires actual driver input to switch from 2WD to 4WD. I love my AWD vehicles, but know very well what constitutes a proper 4WD.

FWIW, it has a rear locker...
@NemeanLion-5 жыл бұрын
This vehicle would gain so much more off road credibility and respect if they just added a rear locker. If they can put it in the Cherokee, they can put it in the Grand Cherokee.
@Bluejumpsuitrofficial3 жыл бұрын
I agree. That is one of the downfalls. Everything else is solid. Must be if they put a true locker it would be a higher price. They would have to charge because they won’t eat profit for customer satisfaction lol

Jeep should've added real Diff lockers, front and rear, to make this GC even more capable. Otherwise, what's the difference between the Trailhawk and an Overland (Other than the colors) because i can get the same options in the Overland.
@jonhettrick79696 жыл бұрын
I definitely agree with you. The Jeep Cherokee has real lockers. Would be nice to see them on this. They might have had the design it differently to add Locker I'm not exactly sure
@franklynvilla26146 жыл бұрын
The difference between the overland and thee trailhawk is the off-road protection metals o the bottom to protect the Jeep against rocks
@NemeanLion-5 жыл бұрын
With the Overland, you don’t get those cheap looking decals and red tow hooks (that look silly on anything except the Wrangler). I know the hood decals are supposed to be functional for sun glare, but I think that’s a load of crap.
@dimon94675 жыл бұрын
It's quadra-drive II system which makes the most difference between trailhawk model and all the rest trims, being equipped as standard! With this system, you don't really need lockers as it transfers power from wheels with no traction to wheel with traction up to 100% to just 1 wheel, in a smoothly unnoticeable manner without any slippage

I use to be big into the rock crawling thing. When the Grand Cherokees went away from solid front axles I rolled my eyes. This is nice, its no hard core rock crawler but the quadra drive II system is quite impressive. Id love to have one for my wife, and steal it early on Saturday mornings using it to get me to my hunting grounds.

Terrible video. General comments, keep it steady....no information related to the jeeps capability. Why kind of 4WD allows it to not spin wheels in the air? Why it is good at water fording - sealed electrical connections? Learn something about the product and communicate some information to your readers. This was just a feel good video of you having a a little fun driving light offroad.

Could've done that in a RAV4. If that's really the course they use to qualify something as 'trail rated' - then it's a joke.
Lol. “Trail Rated”. a Honda Civic can get through this. Clearly he’s never wheeled in anything other than a mall parking lot. Ugh and that word “capable” get tossed around like the clap. My grandfathers previa all trac is as capable.
