The 707 horsepower 645 lb-ft of torque AWD Jeep Trackhawk is an insane production vehicle that is incredibly fun to drive and also listen to. If you take anything away from this video, it's that the soundtrack alone is worth the almost six-figure price tag.

"It's very easy to go to jail in this thing" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hard"
I love how the only negative thing about this was gas mileage, which is true 😂
I can’t wait til the day I have one of these 😍😍😍😍
You will have one trust me and once you have it look at this comment again cause dreams are never denied
I want the car but idc if I’m rich I looked at the mpg and that’s at least $600 a month on gas
Just finance a 2018 boom you now have a Trackhawk
@@chamobang8007 I just purchased a 2019, 20898k miles I’m gonna get a little used Toyota or something to drive everyday though.
@@timothymavuso9061 don’t daily drive it lol
Had mine since February! Absolutely not a justified choice from any point except the smiles per miles you get. Dead on with his assertion of giving you happiness, until you cry at the pump
How often do you have to fill up? I feel like I would be IN LOVE with this car for a month and then passively start noticing "Wow, I am at the gas station a lot..." and then at some point in Month 2 or 3 actually do the math and realize Gas is as much as a car payment and then cry in horsepower.
@@rkalla I had 3 srt jeeps before this so I am kind of used to it. Realistically this gets about 2 mpg less than the 6.4. I guess it all depends on how you drive, how much you commute and what you are used to. Another thing that people don't realize, unless they have owned high horse power cars before is the cost of brakes and tires can be SHOCKINGLY HIGH. And comes around about 3x as often when compared to the average Toyota Corolla. But to answer your question, I go through a little over 1 tank of gas per week.
Fantastic!!! That's why I bought a Lotus Exige S. The smiles are unreal. I love your unit of "Smiles per miles" and this should be put into the chemical standards book. Classic!! Thanks mate. Cheers, Jim.
Don’t buy this vehicle if you know you’re going to cringe when it’s fill up time. Nobody in their right mind should buy this vehicle if they care about mpg’s!
The only reason I am considering buying this vehicle is because I want something that can tow well. I don’t want a truck because I wouldn’t use the bed enough, which is half of the truck, so getting one would be pointless. An SUV I have always liked better due to its smaller wheelbase, and in the SUV world, there isn’t really anything that can tow very much. This Jeep Trackhawk can tow up to 7,200lbs, which is almost double the amount of anything else. Considering my RZR XP4 Turbo S weighs almost 2000lbs, and the trailer another 1000lbs, thats 3000lbs without gear. Most SUV’s max out at 3000-4000lbs, which is complete junk! I don’t want to be maxed out on towing every time I go on a trip. So the Trackhawk is one of very very few options I have.
@@JacesOwnWorld I mountain bike like 2-3 times per week, so I wanted something I could easily put all my gear inside and easily do road trips. can fit 2 people easy with a rack and a ton of gear. The Jeep ha sa sweet stow away hatch int he back, that usually holds the spare, but I just empty it and can easily store most of my camping gear. Plus this thing really is an ultimate AWD commuter!
Great video. 12 to the gallon?🤣 more like 9. LOVE THE TRACKHAWK. You’re so right, it never gets old. My wife asked me “Are you not tired of it yet?” I couldn’t even respond before my son said “WHAT!? No!!!” 🔥💯🙏🙏
Trackhawk Widebody on lowered springs
Never heard the racing inputs described directly as impacting the contact-patch, really liked that. Thumbs up!
@5:58-6:06
The most important difference between the Trackhawk and your old college roommate is that you can trust the 'Hawk with your family.
i would like to say you need to take that jeep and put it into four wheel drive and go back to that same race track. drive it like you drove those chrysler. that jeep is one amazing vehicle.
So literally the only negative mentioned is the MPG.
Because it's performance rivals most super cars, which makes it the ultimate sleeper, yet at the same time can still do everything almost every other SUV can? Also I live in an area with lots of snow, my current sports car is in storage half the year, but this would let me have my cake and eat it too.
@theory816 or you can buy one that 2 years older with 25k miles for 60k lol
@theory816 not that will do 0-60 in 3.5
@theory816 Then we should all be driving a Prius on the road because nobody needs a vehicle of any type that can do what this SUV, or whatever "car" you are positive is so much better. As for the track, it depends on what kind of track. There's not much that can beat it on a drag strip.
But nobody is saying that this is a replacement for all cars, just that it is an amazing vehicle that does a lot of different things better than anyone expects it to.
@theory816 Damn, I wrote a book... Anyways, we car argue feasibility of bikes vs cars vs SUVs and it all depends on your environment. Sure if I lived somewhere that a bike made sense I might consider it, and when looking for a new vehicle I've considered all the options, but as I said in my first reply I live where I get lots of snow. So I want something that would be good for both summer and winter. Next where I live easily 50% of the vehicles are big pickups. Add in all the other SUVs and me in my little sports car (that I can only drive in the summer) can barely see around at what's ahead. So yeah, for me an SUV makes the most sense.
As for the cost, that's up to the person buying it. If I can afford it, then I'll happily buy it and think about all those people who work for FCA that make a good living thanks to people like me who buy their 100k cars.
Last is it ugly? Meh, it's not the prettiest thing. And if they put this powertrain in the Dodge Durango, I'd buy it instead but since this car checks more of the boxes of what's important to me, then the Trackhawk is at the top of my list.
If you think it sounds great stock, throw a CAI and Borla ATAK Catback on it. Let the monster sing!
With just an upper pulley swap, larger injectors, and a tune, and these beasts run 10.3s and put down over 800 whp.
Corsa exhaust!
Ron, i know you would know 😆
And a rear axle /driveshaft upgrade , just to be safe😉
Finally shopping for one of these...Upgrading from my 16 SRT Cherokee to an 18 T-Hawk!!! So excited
Did you get the hawk? If so, how’s it treating you?
@@ryancobb4309 I did and I Loved it!!!! I now have something bigger as it was my daily. But man….I definitely Miss it every day!!!! Such a perfect gear head dad daily driver lol. I didn’t mod it much. I did the eibach springs, front and rear diff braces, intake for some whine tasting lol, dual catch cans, trailer hitch (mine came prewired luckily), and the blower spacers. It was perfect. I genuinely loved every second driving that thing. Just ended up needing something bigger for the family. My wife drives an even smaller suv lol. With the overall cost to own and operate the hawk It made more sense for me to get something bigger. That’s the only reason I don’t have it anymore. But trust me….I absolutely loved it!!!! I had zero issues. God Bless
@@setunedouche thanks for the reply man. I have been toying with the idea of getting one. Hoping prices drop over the next year or so
@@ryancobb4309 Anytime brother. Yeah man this is some crazy stuff going on. Especially with dealers actually becoming stealerships…not just a joking term anymore. These markups for “market” are such obvious attempts at voluntary theft it blows my mind. God Bless America the Beautiful and the 2A!!!
Sir, you just sold me a trackhawk!
Enjoy!!!
Love this beast!!! My only complaint is Jeep should of made minor changes to the body so it does not look exactly like the SRT 🤷♂️. With a price tag that it comes with, I would want it to stand out when coming down the road.
Mpgs suck because our right foot for some reason becomes a heavy lol
Thank you for another excellent review! Waiting for the body refresh.
ultimate sleeper, resale value is great too!
Thanks dude. You are hilarious!! Thanks for making me laugh and telling me all about the Trackhawke. I'll definitely think about it for my next vehicle, even though I'm a car person, I may actually buy one of these SUVs. I can't buy a Dodge Demon or Hellcat in Australia so I may as well buy one of these Trackhawkes with the same motor in it. Thanks buddy. Cheers, Jim.
F miles per gallon when you get smiles per gallon 😃
I already make 12 mpg in my wk1 srt8 and the trackhawk has a bigger fuel tank so I see it as somewhat of an upgrade in terms of fuel efficiency 🤣😅
@freEvo8 the hellcat keep doesn't have cylinder shutoff. The 6.4 srt does. I've had 1 wk1 and 2 wk2 SRTs. The wk2 get a few extra mpg, depends on how you drive it. I now have the hellcat jeep and that gets about 2 less than the 6.4, again depends on how you drive it, but I have a little over 15k on it without resetting the mpg meter. But really it's all in the noise. No need to worry about that, of u do, then you shouldn't buy one!
@@cyrilleshkolnik8263 trc
I need to get one next year
Ordered my '21 yesterday. Going to be a long 6 weeks...
Have you received your hawk
@@fofive909ie9 Nope. After 9 weeks I cancelled. Three days ago I picked up my new '21 Tesla Model Y Performance. Just as fast as the TH, but for me I think it was a better choice. 0-60 is ridiculous! :)
@@MH-so9ozbro went electric 🤮
That color is soooooo sick!
Car prices have gotten ridiculous. When cars are only slightly less than some home prices, something is seriously wrong. I just bought a trailblazer ss for a small fraction of the price. While nowhere near as fast, its plenty fast for me.
Totally agree. Make decent money and would never pay $100K for a vehicle. It borders on financial recklessness to be honest.
Would love to see a drag package for it, like they did with the challenger
A very typical American designed. Brute forced engine and a ride that's tuned for the American roads. I just wish gas prices are still like back in the 70s in America and roads elsewhere in the world are as drag friendly as in the country this car was designed. This is the kind of cars I would watch in reviews if ShiftingLanes is listening.
We’ll keep it in mind 👍🏻
Any idea if there will be a facelift 2020 coming ?
2021
I really don’t want to own a Trackhawk at all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an impressive vehicle; it’s just that the design isn’t all that special. And with a price tag like that!... It’s very disappointing.
I was really hoping Jeep would replace that ugly Jeep center cover on the steering wheel with an SRT cover.
Bfr74vz the trackhawk logo would be better... this car is no srt... its better than that
@@MikkelMcKinnie oh yes that’s even better, N if it still glows in the dark that would be insane
Great video, I subscribed
I have one and love it!!
Sooooo you’d wait for a potential $11k option that MIGHT come out with an extra 50 HP? 😂
Jesus Christ I’m sure there’s a chip or pulley set up that’ll get ya 100+ hp for about $300
One word: Warranty.
How does the suspension feel compared to a charger Hellcat?
Sick !!!
Is it true the Driveshaft/ Axle is crap?
well i believe that the #1 thing that sucks is fuel economy. it's hard to drive this SUV like a "baby"
watching before you buy... but can't afford
FIAT at 1500km i got all sensors charged and still got issues
You have to change the car not the sensors - then the warning lights go away. ZING!
This car is so sexyy, i’ll be getting one of them soon
8:15 should be shown to those wives and ppl who refuse or don't understand why we like these kind of cars
not buying a 100 g srt for a stereo system, but curious, is the HK really worth the upgrade? odds are the 900 watt stereo system will never be on while driving, but in case you wanted to hear it but hows the system as a whole?
Joseph Brereton I have it in my high altitude. Well worth the money in my opinion. Crisp clear and a lot of bass. Not stupid loud but very nice package.
I have it in my 2014 Jeep SRT and its well worth it. Clean bass and plenty of high quality sound. Definitely dont feel like I need to upgrade my stereo system. It was a 1900 option from the factory when I got it. I love it and so do all my.female passengers 😉.
before you buy,? ask if you can get spare parts for your jeep in 10 years time. because i can't x
Bro you actually talking about the engine power thats great but reliability is sgit coz i worked in jeep dealership for 3 year i had to replace a supercharger and water pump on on of them coz they went ba after 10000 kms soo cheap interior specially the steering wheel the panel gaps are so bad put together crap shit
If you want to feel a real acceleration you should try the Mercedes c63 s amg
I own a trackhawk
I hope a Jeep Trackhawk Redeye comes out only so that the Jeep Trackhawk prices drop. You really can’t go wrong with either engine. I don’t need bragging rights of “my Jeep is faster” because...who does that in a Jeep? 🤣 A Jeep Trackhawk is fast enough! I like it because it is a SUV that has enough power to tow a lot of things.
love the car but if i had 1 million in the bank I would not pay 100k for any car.Maybe 65k brand new
You can find some for 60 k
You are smart.I do that anyway.I had 50k to spend and bought a stinger.I drove a normal SRT Grand Cherokee and these things GUZZLE premium gas.There are a ton of great cars out there--especially under 60k.I usually get a demo model--but I got my stinger at the height of covid--2020 AWD GT 3.3TT.I drive about 10 over the speed limit and am at 23 MPG.I can not even use the power in my Stinger--so this is overkill unless I was a multimillionaire.I actually turned down driving this as not to even tempt myself.I am decently well off in RL--but I usually never go above 50k and because I always have a trade in I own--I usually never spend more then 20k.I paid 19k for my stinger after my trade in.so I own it and have 30k in the bank already for my next car--plus these things will be 50k to 60k in just another year or two.
I own a TrackHawk.Here's another negative comment, minor but so"f in" aggravating! The female seatbelt receiver is buried next to the seat and console housing and is extremely difficult to find with the male insert especially if you should miss the first time, the receiver moves to a different angle.
Solution. Ridged 5inch seatbelt extenders found on Amazon.
PERFECTO!
I have a 2019 Cherokee Limited, and I despise it. It stalls, among other things. As in you have to shift back into park and re-start the engine kinda stalls, not the auto engine start/stop thing which lets this hunk of junk fake having good mileage. It's under-powered, shifts gears constantly... unless you floor it, in which case it gets confused and doesn't shift at all for a second or two. The systems on the dash display are slow, and frequently don't register icon taps at all. The Air conditioning system is weak, the 'high end' stereo system isn't much better sounding than my old 2012 PT Cruiser, and the damn thing wants me to make an amount on the MOPAR site so I can link my phone to the truck before any of the supposed remote access stuff will work, like turning on the AC before I get in. The voice command systems can't understand a word I say 90% of the time, and so far the only commands it seems to understand at all are telling it what temp to set the AC... usually. About all I like about it is the rearview camera and power rear door.
Ariel Fetters I have a 2014 Jeep Limited u have urs fresh but mine is perfectly fine auto start seat warmers & Steering wheel warmers before I go inside in the morning
@@batmoneybagz9611 I'm happy yours works, but mine is a rolling hunk of junk that I don't feel safe in but have no option but to drive.
I never heard of the mopar site neither to connect my phone I had to buy a hard drive down load the Uconnect update to the hard drive and then plug it up to my car try that look it up on UA-cam!
Ariel Fetters it’s called warranty, son. Use it.
@@Welcometofacsistube I did, and they mysteriously found nothing wrong. Of course the truck wasn't bought at that dealership, so it's not like they'd get any money out of a warantee repair.
The crazy me says, "buy the trackhawk". But the logical me says, "buy the X5M".
It drives me crazy...lol.
I just don't trust Dodge/Jeep and their products.
I agree.
Agree toyota the best
