Its honestly refreshing to see it riding on a regular steel coil spring setup. Its more robust, reliable, and easier to modify..... for the third owner who might actually go some places in one some day.
When you have a multi-ton vehicle, is it really benefiting anything to have cutouts on your recovery hooks? 😳 I'd rather have those extra strong. Plus you were going to get mud and all kinds of dirt in the cutouts as soon as you go off road.
I really like this! Styling looks great! I hope they can somehow add towing capacity. The camper I want to get is 3700-4000 lbs, but the non-Trailhawk WagS only has 3400 lb capacity. :/
Lack of air suspension is surprising.. Grand Cherokee Trailhawk has had it for multiple generations - so the expertise exists within Jeep. And air suspension does a good job managing the weight of a BEV.
The front end is slacking. They should work on the grill for the production model. I honestly rather them make a Grand cherokee rubicon package but actually make it more capable than the regular trailhawk. Kinda like that 2013 Trailhawk II concept they never made.
Desert rated because if you take it on a trait and hit the undercarriage on a rock you risk damaging the battery, voiding the warranty, or burning the car and the entire forest to the ground.
Ummm, my Outback Wilderness has the same ground clearance...... :). It will probably be just a few dollars more than my Subie when it hits the market.... My OBW has a full size spare.... How about an Offroad EV we can afford?
I've got a forester wilderness myself. Took it to the upper peninsula of Michigan and it was surprisingly capable completely stock. It's been great so far
They are so lost. If Jeep can’t get away from the American off-roader brand, what makes them think it will become a top tier luxury brand? Stellantis is absolutely confused.
If they don’t add torque or hp not really worth the name of trackhawk . Idc if ev but they will need boost the performance and just not appearance package with tow hooks. There is more than one engine option for this S so I’m guessing you can hybrid version in the future
They can do it but it's silly. You'd be hauling around a couple thousand pounds of batteries. Unless of course you're waiting for the Mr Fusion nuclear battery
@@sociopathmercenarypeople like this aren’t actually serious about buying an EV, they’re just talking. If some manufacturer revealed a 1,000 mile range EV tomorrow they’d still be in the comments rebelling against. There will always be a reason not to buy an EV for people like this.

This needs a spare if they're gonna have "desert rated" printed on the thing. It's a neat design though.
No one besides TFL OffRoad will be off roading this thing
No one does anything. Everyone knows. It's fine.
beat me to it, no one is taking these vehicles offroad 🤣
Alex, This has to be the Trailhawkiest BEV we have ever seen . 😛
Yeah, too bad it doesn't have a drivetrain like the Ramcharger.
This looks like the replacement for Grand Cherokee.
Probably and additionally they can't seem to be using the same name anymore
@@etbadaboum That makes even more sense now.
Cherokee tribe files a lawsuit against Jeep for the name and that probably explains it (didn't follow though)
“It’s concept”. I won’t hold my breath.
Why CCS?
Because Tesla has gutted their supercharger team and is being really slow to respond to other manufacturers trying to sign on.
@@ALMX5DPi don’t think they’ll be accepting everyone anyway.
@@G-Rated pretty much everyone has an agreement/contract with Tesla now, so not sure how they would be able to back out.
@@ALMX5DP yea you’re right it’s pretty much everyone making the switch to NACS
@@G-Rated yup and since then Tesla has been dragging their feet so OEMs are delaying actual implementation.

lol sure 80,000 $ off-road model, our middle class will be lining up to buy this.
Will be very interesting to compare this against the refreshed Rivian R1S, or even the R2

Body on frame or unibody?
They need to do something. Clearly if we are going to buy a $100k suv, we'll want to go muddin'.
Its not 100k, more like 65k
Until the dealerships decide to up the price an extra 50k plus!
@@GoFast58 Jeep grand cherokee (not even the plug in variant) tops out at $75k, what makes u think this will "only" be $65k
@@Carfan678 because it will probably be 2k more than the launch edition and then if we factor in the 7500$ tax credit it becomes around 65k
@@GoFast58 May start at $65k but fully optioned i can see this being $90k
I guess now we just wait to see what Scout will bring to the table and wjat offroad EV Ford is planning
If they make a trail rated version it needs to have more ground clearance. 9.5 inches doesn't cut it. Need at least 11 inches on this beast.
Hot take - A vehicle without a spare is not an offroad vehicle.
This one is more interesting to me ! Like the other but this one nice

Almost 2400 lbs more than a Model Y??? Doesn't sound good. Probably loaded down with batteries.
Best use this thing only in your backyard or have a tow truck follow you EVERYWHERE

Jeep time to put some lipstick on a pig?
Ill buy once i see 800 to 1000+ miles for ev

More like Ramcharger, yes.
1000 miles??? Be for real bro.
