Rodd, is yours a 2019? And how is the 9 speed tranny holding up, do you feel they have -finally- gotten the bugs out of that transmission?

Did the rear wheel axle make that noise when pulling off?

The 9 speed automatic works just fine! I bought mine a year ago and i had no issues!

I'm not sure you can call a car "good" if the entire drivetrain had to be replaced at 30k

@@ben3304 i was just thinking this too. I want the 2019 trailhawk but im genuinely scared of maintenance after owning a few German vehicles.

I am picking up my 2019 Charokee Trailhawk tomorrow morning before work. Winter is right around the corner, I am a one happy guy. MN winter no more Elantra hello Charokee.

How do you get 27 mpg? All highway?

I wanna buy exacly this but i dont know its lot of money so do you really think it is worth it?

@@majm2925Try to find one with about 4,000 or so miles used & save yourself about $6,000.

I have a fully loaded 2017 trailhawk v6 but I average 19.8 mpg

Do you have 4x4??

Yes 4×4

What's towing on your limited

I'm looking at ordering the same, just different colors, I'm curious what pulled you into the brownstone pearl? I saw the tan leather in a review on here somewhere and loved it! But I'm thinking velvet red or graphite, but I'm open to suggestions!

@@doncurtis3402 In the past, we would buy white. But when I saw the brownstone in the brochure, it was a color that we had never seen on the road. So we went out of our comfort zone and ordered the brownstone pearl! It really compliments the tan interior nicely. Granted the Cherokee doesn't have to pick up that we were used to with the Grand but we are very happy driving it. We like the smaller size also. I have bad back issues and the Cherokee sets lower so it is definitely easier to get into/out. Our salesperson was wise in directing us to order the Overland package to get equal extras that we had in the Grand Cherokees. We also added the advanced safety option. I have not attempted the auto park yet ;-)

I was little turned off with Tan leather, but after short time I began to like color and get compliments on interior color to. Really want V-6 but Chrysler has lot of experience with 4 cylinder turbo engines. Surprised came with tow package because of 4 cylinder engine. Plan on a Sea-doo purchase tow package will 👍.

Jeeps SUCK - Buy a Highlander or an Explorer!

Michael Oehler My 2008 Civic had the air conditioner fail after only a few years (compressor failure), and there was a class action lawsuit about the visors coming apart because the glue can’t hold up to any warm climate (like if your car sits in the sun during the day at work). The engine and transmission have been great, but when the rest of the vehicle is a bit of a POS it kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth...

How is going your jeep, i am looking to buy one but i really dont understand the diferences in trim except the price, please advise if you can

Cherokee is top of the line except for Grand Cherokee.

I understand that the 2019 model made some changes to the transmission, both with software and hardware. I've been encouraged by what I've heard.

I like the latitude plus altitude. Cuz I dont like the pointyness in the front and the towing handles the trailhawk has. But other than that both are bad ass.

I upgraded from a '17 TH, into a '19 TH Elite. Made sure to get the premium speaker and am very glad i did! I think i got every option minus the tech. Would make the same choice in a heartbeat.

I have a 2019 trailhawk with every single option (including factory rock rails, technology package and the 9 speaker audio system MSRP was over $45k). I had an almost fully loaded 2017 trailhawk before this with the stock audio system and I will tell you that the stock system sounds 10x better than the 9 speaker system. The stock system has a nice combination of base/mid/and treble from each speaker while the upgraded system sounds tinny with base only coming from the subwoofer and you can't even really hear the rear speakers in the front seats. I'm getting ready to change out the speakers with only 70 miles on the odometer. You made the right choice coming from someone that has had both audio systems. I think that my focus st's audio system sounds better than the Jeeps 9 speaker system honestly

JuniorFan08 does it comes with the leather seats? And they are not using the tranny which caused tons of issue?

JuniorFan08 If u don’t mind me asking, what’s ur lease payment and for how many months/ mileage? Thanks.

I Loved The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus & Then The Limited With Both V6 & The Turbocharged Straight 4.

Here's an idea: Pssssssst - Stay away from Jeeps COMPLETELY and buy a Highlander, 4Runner or Explorer instead! Your wallet AND your spouse will thank you.

Scott Giorgini so how did it work out ??

Yes Scott, how is it working out???

WELL?!?!!?

@@Lovingoddess28 Kicks more ass than Chuck Norris! I love it so much, I bought a 2021 (which I'm still driving).

@@beatricenjoroge7218 I love it and am already on my second one!

What you can say is "I'll be back to you with a follow-up review in 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, as talking about a vehicle when it's LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD is of no practical use to ANYBODY."

I have a 19 trailhawk elite with every single option including the upgraded audio and I think that it sounds horrible. My stock system in my 2017 trailhawk sound 10x better. Very disappointed along with many others in forums that are replacing all of the speakers in the premium system

I would not go off-road without a 4WD

I wouldn't compare the 2.4 with the V6. Very diferent. No bells and whistles on mine, 2019

good deal

Do you put premium gas in it?

Exactly what I'm researching! Except I'll probably go velvet red or graphite with the brown leather. Should be ordering soon, but give me a shout out if you have any other opinions, so many trailhawks on here, not many Overlands

The Turbo engine is new and not tried and tested like the V6 Pentastar that has evolved in the last 10 years. Also with all economy line turbo engine's the life span of the engine is cut in half. Why do you think Toyota refuses to incorporate turbo's in there engine's. If you don't plan on owing this vehicle for more than 4 years or depending on the miles you plan to put then I guess the turbo is fine. It requires premium fuel to be at it's best. I always tell people if there is a V6 option always take it over the turbo if engine life span and reliability is your prime concern.

Same... Love it!

What made you guys pick the Jeep over the others in the class with slightly better ratings? I really want to get a Jeep but am working through in my mind why I shouldn’t pick the higher rated alternatives instead.

sconri2. I did my research for months. I took some for test drives my Jeep can tow 4500 lbs while others half that amount. Sure some have better fuel economy but not the looks or capability of a trailhawk. You should compare these on utube as well everyone is different but as far as Im concerned nothing beats a Jeep.

Same reason here. Also, I waited until this year for the kinks to get worked out in the redesign. I think this year model is a good year. It really gets a bad rap about the mileage too because I keep mine on the fuel efficiency setting on my dash so I can keep up with it and, granted I spend most of my time on hwy since I live right on the hwy and it stays at an average of 25 and that is factoring in the city. But when I am on the hwy I keep it in the adaptive cruise because it keeps the engine going more efficiently than I can. I fill this vehicle up at the same rate that I filled up my Mazda 7 that I traded. So I am seeing no difference really and I am much happier with what I am riding in. I do find that I go slower in this car because I am more cognizant of my gas mileage. It begins to really drink gas over 75 miles per hour. But what 4 wheel drive doesn't? You can't have everything. You have to prioritize your wants. It's also the smoothest riding Jeep I've ever had. As I am getting older, that was a plus for me.

sconri2 I hope you didn't buy one of those. Fiats wearing a Jeep Emblem! Love the comments buy these assholes who haven't even put 5,000 miles on their Fiats! Let's see how they feel about them after the last payment is done, the Warranty is up, and the engine is burning oil, the Transmission is slipping, the suspension needs replacing, the 4 wheel drive won't function correctly, and all the electrical failures! OMG!! I'm not wishing that on anyone! However, Fiat/ Chryslers are known to be the least reliable vehicles made!! If I were going to spend that much money on an off road SUV, it would be a Toyota Rave 4! Compare the Toyota after 4 years to the Jeep! The Toyota still will run mostly trouble free for many more years! The Jeeps... Lord have mercy! Remember, Jeep is just a name, the best ones ever built were from 1990- 2004, if you had the Straight six! Those were Jeeps! Millions still running today with 4-500,000 miles with original engine and Transmission! Chrysler has gone through many changes throughout the years since! None of them good! Ask any good Mechanic and you will hear about all the horror stories! Mechanics love Fiat/ Chryslers! They keep them very busy!

John Hart There’s 3 different 4X4 options, two of which are optional on Latitude (only the first system), Plus, Limited and Overland: the base 4X4 has all the off road modes, the upgraded 4X4 system gives about a 1 inch higher ride height and a couple more modes. From there the Trailhawk is the only one with the locking dif.

Check out Alex on Autos channel. He goes in on the details.

If the overland has the ADII option then its suspension is identical to what is on the trailhawk

Do you still love it? Looking g at a used one...afraid to pull the trigger

zurfyvision that's about all you can expect to get on any late model Fiat/ Jeep! Mines Chryslers 2000 Grand Cherokee! Runs and looks brand new, 4.0 Straight Six, Bulletproof engine!

I'm considering similar. Anything you don't like about it?

I had to think hard, probably the color. It's the off white color. Would have rather had blue, but it was the exact spec I wanted with a pretty good discount.

Out the door including tax? That's a crazy deal. I'm having a hard time finding one under 34k before tax and fees. All I want is towing and 9 speakers.

Not including Tax. Every state is different on Taxes, Oklahoma more so than most.

Brandon Hogue was it a 2018 or 2019 Trailhawk?

If you decide to buy it, make sure you get the bad a$$ all terrain tires... and not those "all season", which basically are the lowest version of tires. I have 2016 Trailhawk. Riding on grass / in mud / and rocks, is much better. For my Canadian winter, I only rely on Blizzacks. Trailhawk with no rock rails? ...LOL 🤪😂🤣

John Eason GM is so much better than fiat.

Glad youare happy :O But can Terrains do offroading at all? The few work rentals I had to use, I wouldnt take them down a dirt road, much less offroad.

Shkotay D not a terrain! Acadia all terrain. Special vehicle for off roading. Works fine

Nice! You ought to get some videos of it doing offroad work. Most of what I see is it seems to be about what a Subaru Outback can manage, at least on YT. My Trailhawk, I can literally overland with, and aside from adding rock sliders, did trails that until then only wranglers had been able to do lol. Still, you got what you needed and seem to be happy with it. So all good!

A grand Cherokee is going to be the unit to compare to a Acadia sized vehicle. Don’t fool yourself tho.... all terrain is not a real “off road” package. It’s a styling package. It has highway tires.

So not loaded lol

@@sicilian2k lol

Why? Because the idiot on the video said that he wouldn't get the sunroof?

@@4orrcountry lol no because they didn't have any with one at the time.

I have heard that the turbo doesn't have the longevity of a 2.0 or 3.2...anyone know more about this? Yes, you get more horsepower at some point.

@@AmBotanischenGartenIt is also advised that you ONLY use Premium fuel, that is for that turbo to work as desired. If you choose not to & just use regular, then that hurts that turbo longevity. I have a 06 turbo & use Premium & regular every other fill up & haven't as of yet had any issues. Having said that the difference in miles per I would chose the V6 for durability because of less parts to break in the Latitude's.

@@AmBotanischenGarten that engine is too new for longevity opinions IMHO, but I STEER clear of turbos in general once past 120k miles. If you generally trade in your vehicles before they get past that mileage you should be fine.

Just purchased 2019 jeep Cherokee overland 4x4 with 2.0 engine 8,500 miles, I have been mopar fan all my life, always bought traditional mopar cars. Guys I work with always brag how great Jeeps are they never have any issues. We get lot of snow, Chrysler 300 ok in snow, my wife 2016 200 v-6 AWD is great in snow. We need SUV trade up from 2003 300m.

Considered a trailhawk as well at first, then leaned towards the Overland, so many people comment on the trailhawk on here, just curious 7months later, which did you go with?

Christian Thompson the V6 is better than the 2.4 but the 2.0T is far more enjoyable to drive than the V6

2.0 is dramatically better- 3.2 was unacceptable and was all high end power

@@davidgrothen3943 What are you talking about. The V6 has linear and consistent full Torque across the spectrum @1,500-4000 RPM. Not to mention it's a proven and tried engine that lasts. The 2.0 Turbo is new, unproven and we all know Turbo's reduce the lifespan of the engine and causes more issues down the line. Just ask Toyota since this is why they refuse to build or add turbo's to there engines. Turbo is a cheap tactic to please the EPA. Ask any mechanic regarding engines in general, Inline 4 or V6 and they will always tell you to go with the V6.

@@davidgrothen3943 3.2 unacceptable? Then you claim it was all high end power? That is not how the Pentastar works. The Penatstar is an interesting engine since it deleivers 98% of all it's torque in the low end. Yet you claim the power is all in the high end. You realize that the power of an engine is called Torque and the hp is sort of like how fast it delivers that torque. As mentioned by Stryker, if you look at a Dyno(that is where a car is put on a device with rollers to test it's HP and Torque.) it proves that the V6 delivers 98% of it's torque across the spectrum evenly at the low end. What more could you ask for since most engines in 20-40 thousand dollar cars require that you get the rpm's up high before the grunt of the Torque is delivered. Go look at any review of the 2.0 vs V6 and you will see that the difference isn't dramatic. Also the V6 is a proven and reliable engine while the 2.0 is brand new and unproven. It took Mercedes and then over to FCA, 7 years(2014) to make the Pentastar what it is today. This is usually the same for many other engines used from the competition.

I Loved The 2.0L Turbocharged I4 Engine & The 3.2L Naturally Aspirated V6 Because Both Of Them Are Good & Fast!

I haven't seen any--it isn't considered off-road worthy, I suppose.

Hows it going

Matt Olfson they are both the ZF 9 speed but they have two different part numbers. I believe one is just heavier duty and has the Trans cooler.

A Toyota owner will always be better off than you? Why is it when ever something new and far innovative comes along we got to hear about, Oh my 1992 Jeep Wrangler with Diesel or the AMC straight 6 still my fulfills my needs. Never mind the horrible fuel economy, poor/outdated engine performance, terrible road manners+handling, less comfort, more cabin noise , I mean the list goes on. I'm happy your 2000 Cherokee is still running but the reality is you must not have ever driven it much. The average person is ready to move to a new vehicle every 5-8 years and if you are a Toyota owner with those Half million mile engines I could see 12 years.

Paul J Really? Well my Jeep has 169,000 miles, it's 19 years old! Hasn't got a squeek or rattle, rides like a dream, yes gas mileage isn't great, 15mpg-city- 22Mpg highway! I belong to 3 Jeep clubs! One is on FACEBOOK the other is Jeep Forum, the other is WJ Jeep owners! There are members whose WJ's have more than 500,000 miles! Many of them! So I think I know what I'm talking about!

@@joelspivak6622 regarding what? Let's take a step back. What was the original point or issue you were making. Think about that for a second Now 169,000k is nothing buddy, so I was correct in saying that it's irrelevant you mentioning that your 19 year old jeep is tip top since by now you should have well over 800,000k. Nevermind how you conventionally avoided the main points to my counter argument. You know how the modern day jeep such as the one you are poo pooping and acting like your ancient Diamler Jeep is somehow just as good overall. Your body on Frame Cherokee drives like crap on the road-FACT. I mean I could list all the reasons why a newer more innovative Jeep excels in almost every category but as evidence by your last reply it would be pointless. Oh and guess what, I too am a Jeep guy and belong to many jeep forums and I go offroading with my friends when ever I get the chance. So why again are you here making a fuss? Please tell me you aren't one of those pretentious Jeep snobs that looks down at any thing modern jeep. You know the type that goes on about there obsolete, outdated, gas guzzling and mediocre performance that even a Toyota Camary puts to shame, Straight Six AMC design. What is sad about the Jeep community is 1/4 if them are there own worst enemy. Why can't you just appreciate the brand and the fact that the Wrangler is still in very high demand thanks to the bread and butter from the SUV line

Paul J rHey man, don't tell me my Jeep rides like shit on the highway! It's as smooth as any late model sedan! It's not a Cherokee, it's a Grand Cherokee! Just because the mileage is low for the year it's because I also have a 2007 Mercury grand MarquisLS! I alternate the two of them! I'm not looking down on the modern Jeeps, I've driven many of them, wasn't impressed! My Jeep has all new suspension giving it a fabulous ride! Yes it does not have the power or torque of the new ones, but For me 0-60 in 8 seconds is fast enough! It's an SUV, not a sports car! My Jeep has been completely rebuilt and restored to brand new! I did most of the work myself! I'm proud to drive her! Quality wise, Chryslers from 20 years ago were known for their reliability! Today, mention Fiat/Chrysler to any one savvy about the business, they are at the bottom for reliability! And that's a fact! You mentioned Toyota Camry! Are you saying Fiat/Chrysler is comparable to the Toyota line of cars and SUV's ? That's a joke if I've ever heard one! As far as a "Performance car goes, I also have a 1990 Lincoln MarkV11 LSC! It's got the 5.0 Mustang engine which I've done some modifications to.. And it will go 0-60 in 5 seconds! It's a gorgeous classic rare automobile growing in value every year! I'm not knocking anyone for purchasing a new Jeep wether it be the Wrangler, Compass, Cherokee or Grand Cherokee! They are all beautiful! I wish you, and all of our Jeep loving family members to enjoy the best off road vehicles ever!

@@joelspivak6622 Ok where to even begin here. I think it's important to note that the only reason you two are even arguing is because you instigated this. The question is why come here to shit on the new generation of jeeps that are nothing but a major improvement over a 19 year old SUV Jeep. The new jeeps do in fact drive better on the road, have better technologies and luxuries, and are more comfortable to just name a few things. Even the V6 Pentastar is proven and reliable. Why do you think Chrysler has used it for well over 8 years now and it powers the majority of there vehicles. Also it has instant Torque that is linear and consistent across the board. From 1500-4000rpm you get 100% Torque and plenty of hp. I know tons of people that have done well over 250,000K without any issues. It's a better modern day engine than your Straight 6 unless your definition is purely based on simplicity and potential millage. If that is the case then we might as well talk about Diesels, all the old 90's engines and even Toyota engines. So why are you here complaining about a Cherokee model that isn't even the Grand Cherokee. Oh by the way I used to own a 2000 Grand Cherokee in Shale Green Metallic, which I sold it in 2008. The very notion that my 2000 Cherokee even comes close to say for example my 2016 Grand Cherokee Eco Diesel Overland is short of ludicrous. Even the Cherokee KL in this video is in a completely different league than that old rust bucket. Your claim that It drives fine on the road is not the same as it drives as well or to the same caliber as the new ones. As mentioned by "John Q" the very simple fact that the 2000 Grand Cherokee's were Body on Frame SUV's meant that it's driving dynamic's were severely compromised. Also since you are behind the times, you fail to understand the many modern day innovations and engineering feats have made it possible for SUV's or even Jeeps to have similar handling capabilities as a sedan. Your excuse that "it's not a sports cars so who cares about it's cornering, performance and road mannerisms etc.. is a cope out. Last but not least I got a good chuckle when you claimed that during the Daimler Chrysler era 1998-2009 that Chrysler was known for reliability. Are you aware that 2000-2009 was one of the worst era's for Chrysler. Go ask anyone that hates and despises Chrysler and 90% of the cars they talk about were designed, manufactured and sold by Daimler Mercedes. Regarding FIAT, almost anyone that talks shit about Jeep or RAM saying it's nothing but a FIAT ends up regretting it as I simply make a fool of them. See they actually have no idea what has happened during the FIAT Chrysler merger = FCA. RAM for example has very little to do with the FIAT in terms of Engineering, platforms etc...The same applies to Jeep. Now I will admit that the Jeep Renegade is a travesty since that is an example of a FIAT child with the jeep badge. However that is the exception not the rule. FIAT owns Chrysler but there involvement is not what ignorant people think, instead if you truly understand the automotive world it's rather irritating to listen to others talk with authority when in fact all they are doing is parroting what they think needs to be said. Bare in mind the Jeep and RAM brand has only improved with FIAT's involvement = MONEY. RAM right now will be #2 in 2020 for Pickups and they are absolutely killing it compared to FORD. They are #1 when it comes to innovation, features and design. The Italians are the best when it comes to interior design and you see this with RAM and even Jeep. Just wait till 2020 when they refresh the Jeep line up. If you take a look at this Jeep, it's platform, engine and partial drive train are all from the Chrysler Jeep division and share no FIAT engineered designs. The transmissions on Jeeps come from ZF Germany. So Again where is FIAT's involvement or DNA found? The only place FIAT has had influence is with the Styling and they are one of the best in that department. The Cherokee KL is made up of 87% US parts and manufactured in Ohio with the Wrangler at the Jeep Plant. The only negative I see with FIAT is there Inline 4 engine which is crap and there minor tampering by introducing a FIAT European inspired model, such as the Renegade. As you can see they have been very careful and conservative testing the market. The end result is Americans don't want FIAT European cars. Thankfully most there vehicles give you 3 engine options. V6 Pentastar, 5.7 Hemi, the new Turbo inline 4 with 280hp. The V8 Hemi and Pentastar are great Chrysler engines. We now have the Jeep Pickup which I think is really cool since there has been a huge demand for one. FIAT or more specially Sergio Marconi

I rented a Grand Cherokee in October 2020, and I concur. It was a great car. but when I am the only occupant of the vehicle 95% of the time, it's just too much car. The Cherokee is the right size for what I need.
