I love my 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite V6. Fully loaded. It’s awesome. I upgraded from a 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk V6. The improvements on the new ones are great.
I had it for a year now and had zero to no issues with the Trailhawk 2.0L I4 model. I've put 8,000 miles on it so far. Went on multiple Camping trips and played in the snow with it here in MN.
Trailhawk 2.0T in Dark grey, Blue, Red, Green, or Tan. Cold weather, Sunroof, and upgreated stereo/speakers.
the luxury group also adds carpet in the trunk area on the sides instead of plastic. I just leased a 2019 limited with the lux and tech group and am very happy with it.
I have a 2017 4x4 Cherokee. With the 3.2 . I've had it in twice to have the transmission fixed. Fixed now and has been running great.
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.
Have had a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk since new. Every single option minus the ventilated seats. Has been awesome!
Downside: Although it was covered under warranty, the entire driveshaft needed to be replaced (OEM) at about 30k miles. Also, the rear-axle seal rusted around the edges, causing it to squeak (at about 25k miles). This was replaced with new OEM parts under warranty, too.
Other than that (and after several software updates for the 9-speed, which did help), my TH has been bulletproof. The 3.2 VVT V-6 has power, and a throaty exhaust note.
FCA has done one hell of a job with Jeep. FCA realizes the value of the brand, and has poured money into it. It shows in every way.
Jeep is no longer the DaimlerChrysler -- or Chrysler -- of old. It's a true, high-quality brand with a solid product.
When you want ruggedness along with a capable, high-fun-factor machine, let's face it -- most signs point to Jeep. In the past, one may have steered clear, though, due to what we all remember ... how often they broke or had constant problems.
Jeep is no longer that type of "Jeep," so to speak. The stuff now fuses ruggedness, practicality, luxury, reliability and quality.
Having said that, I would have expected the drive shaft to last a hell of a lot longer. But, keep this in mind: Jeep really rushed the 2014 Cherokee out the door in late 2013, without fully vetting it. The 2015 largely was identical to the 2014, other than the V6 getting start/stop.
So, if you want a Cherokee, 2019 is the year to go to ... we are now only two or so years away from a full, ground-up makeover. So, the 2019 is now a fully refined (and refreshed) current-generation Cherokee.
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 just bought the 2019 Cherokee Altitude, Latitude Plus with blacked out features, with the 2.4L 4 cylinder and Cold weather package. If I were to do it again I would definitely go with the V6. the 4 is relatively under powered. Love all the features though and the Altitude trim looks sharp.
Recently bought a leftover 2018 Lat Plus with the Cold Weather , Trailer Tow , Comfort Convenience Group and 3.2L V6 4X4. Added options included the Panoramic sunroof, 1 year free subscription to Sirius XM. All this as is on the lot. Unfortunately it did not come with the Technology & Safetytek Group. With rebates and sales discount pricing ($8000) I drove off the lot for just under $30000. Love this Cherokee and glad that I didn't wait another year for the 2019 .
I own this vehicle and I had to check my owners manual after seeing this video. Regular gasoline is recommended in the 3.2L.
Best most useful vehicle I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned many! Love the 2019 Turbo limited 4x4 w/tech package, luxury group, priced $38k, purchased 2020 from enterprise via Jeep dealer at $18k low miles, I’ve tested in severe snow, mountain trails, towing uphill 3600lbs no tow package, no problem with heat, heavy rain / wind, and deep mud. I’ve tuned mine, but I know a guy that took the v6 to new levels with major power. Major difference, 3.2 more linear torque. The 2.4 pushed our 4x4 20’ compass no problem, the 3.6 moves the GC L RWD quickly as well. Big Jeep fan, the Cherokee has had 0 issues in 60k+ miles, 2 1/2 yrs.
2019 trailhawk 3.2 L baby... I searched all over ontario for a trailhawk with a 2.0 turbo but couldn't find any... after hearing about the issues, i'm quite happy with the ol faithful V6
I leased a 2019 Limited V6 on May 23. It has everything I wanted, so far so good. Have driven it about 1200 miles. Really like the adaptive cruise and can't wait to use the heated steering wheel this coming winter. It drives and rides nicely. Only gripe is the 9 speed auto. It is quick to upshift and slow to downshift. I would think with 9 speeds it would always be able to find the right gear. My second choice was a Ford Escape but it was a 2018 and a 4 cyl. The Jeep was actually less money. A good friend of mine is a service writer at the dealership I purchased from so I know I will be taken care of. He said the 2017 and 2018 have been very reliable but to stay away from the 2016 and older models.
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 have a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite with the 3.2L and every option expect for the speaker package and black wheels and love it so far.
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
I owned a 2016 2.4 4cyl fwd. never had issues. Upgraded to the 2019 version same specs. Latitude plus. Love the car it has some cabin insulation upgrades. Great vehicle! I live in North Carolina
I've had the Cherokee limited for 6 months now, love it. Great in the snow!
Do you have 4x4??
Yes 4×4
What's towing on your limited
I have a 2019 Cherokee LTD 4x4 with 8.4" Screen, 9 speakers, 3.2L, winter package, have 35,000 miles on it and love it. Tows nice, great gas mileage. Nice standard full roof rack for adding cross bars. Not a lot of A/T tire options for the weird tire size 225/60/18, otherwise your stuck with 'All Season'. Bought after market smartstartstop option so the engine doesn't keep shutting off, glad I did.
Forgot the Altitude trim option. Just picked up a 2019 Cherokee Latitude Plus/Altitude in Velvet Red, the maroon with black trim is gorgeous. ❤️👍🏼🤠
Bought the latitude plus, no complaints at all. No issues at 1.3k miles drive to Canada with it on highway it was giving me 32mpg . No oil leaks or excessive oil burning, some people complain its acceleration is slow and yes it is. I usually give it a good step on the gas pedal and it picks up fast . After the good drive I gave it to Canada I feel the engine is more springy and faster.
Had a 2015 v6 Cherokee, nothing but problems. The transmission failed and my mom was stranded. Jeep bought it back though and we got a 2017 v6. It's been reliable ever since.
Bought my 2019 jeep Cherokee limited that same year. Drives perfect till now i love it
Went with the 19 Cherokee Limited 2.0 Turbo. Absolutely love it. Great on gas. My only complaint is my front parking sensor seems to have gone bad as it turns on and off randomly.
I have a 2019 Cherokee trailhawk with the sunroof, heated seats, power lift gate, and the v6. I really love the vehicle it gets reasonably good gas mileage (I average about 27mpg), and I think the redesign makes it look sharp. I’m also a Jeep Technician at a dealership and I haven’t seen many issues with the Cherokee. I would recommend it to anyone looking for smaller suv.
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
I bought a 2019 Cherokee Lat. Plus with 2.0 L turbo last year. A few months in, the floor would fill with water when
it rained. They never could fix it or figure it out. Finally got my money back from Jeep after a long process.
Beware, apparently mine not the only one with this issue.
Jeeps SUCK - Buy a Highlander or an Explorer!
We just took ownership of a 2019 Overland Cherokee in the brownstone pearl and tan leather interior. It is a beauty :)We've had several Grand Cherokee but we no longer need the additional room.
Since the 2019 Cherokee was restyled, we really liked the look and decided to downsize, somewhat! But, we still wanted all the bells and whistles and ordered an Overland. We really love it. The color is beautiful and the interior is very rich. I'm loving the blind spot alert :)
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 👍.
I would buy the trim you reccomended. Oh wait I did! Back in May. Traded in our 2016 Cherokee. Very happy with new one and I do think latitude plus, 6 cyl, 4x4, cold weather group is best bang for buck!
Just hit 3 months in my 2019 Cherokee latitude plus.
Mine has the following
4cyl turbo
4x4
Cold weather
Full glass roof
Leather seats
Remote start
Remote lift gate
Only thing I wish it had was a full spare
Great buyer's guide....Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for making this video. I was thinking about buying a jeep and there are a million different trims and options, so it was nice to hear an explanaiton of them all.
Cherokee is top of the line except for Grand Cherokee.
I Loved The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus & The Limited With The V6 & The 2.0L Turbocharged Engine.
Amazing review Thank You! This will help me make my decision
V6 Trailhawk Elite. Sunroof/tow/cold/convenience packages. Got the premium speaker, which is a must for someone who values good sound. (i used to install my own stereos into every other car i've owned) I would get the same thing again in a heatbeat. This thing continues to amazing me in its capabilities. Will it out-wheel everyone ever...nope....will it follow a modest Wrangler down most trails...yes sir it will.
The updates to all the little 'death by papercuts' things that they did for the '19s is what sold me. The nav being licensed from Garmin is nice too.
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
Getting delivery of my 2019 Trailhawk Elite fully equipped with the 2.0l Turbo this week. Cant wait. Gotta replace that 2013 civic SI to tow my SXS.
I just bought the 2019 trailhawk elite with the v6 and loaded with every option except the rock rails and I love it. Its firecracker red.
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!
First off, GOOD JOB on this review and all the different packages available. Also, THANK YOU, to all of the people who left comments on here pertaining to how their 4 cyl's are not really a sufficient power train for this Jeep, also about the recall's and glitches in the 4 cyl motors. Just like new software. That will save me the agony of purchasing an underpowered, but nice Jeep, as I am currently pricing out and trying to decide what I will need to have under the hood, when I purchase my Fifth Jeep to date. Looking to part with my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, with the 5.7 LT. Hemi, which I Love, even though the gas mileage is not great. Just hit over 103-K on the odometer, so, time to trade it in or sell it, and upgrade. Its good to hit the gas and the Jeep responds quickly, in those situations when you need that extra acceleration. I had a 60-90 Mile commutes to work, for 15 yrs, with a lot of highway driving. BUT, because of Inflation, and my Lead Foot, as the Officer in Blue told me, I need to downsize to a smaller and more efficient Cherokee. Being a former Grease Monkey, or Technician, as they are now called, I have been pricing out the Cherokee Latitude-Plus models, BUT, I am skeptical if the 4 cyl. is a good fit for this scaled down version, given its Gross Vehicle Weight. Most of the Jeep's, the one I have now is my fourth one in a row, that I have been viewing are predominantly the 4 cyl. Thanks to this video, and some of the comments I have read from people who own(ed) one, and know what they are talking about, that posted comments on here, I am now SURE, NOT to get the 4 cyl. A few extra miles per gallon is a small comfort when you need some quick response in those close calls while driving. I will be looking for at least a 6 cyl. Again, GOOD JOB, and THANKS for the Jeep Owners Feedback. Much Appreciated. Mr. Ed Ski.....
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.
I purchased 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4x4 2.0 liter engine Brownstone Metallic with Tan leather seats, came with Panoramic sunroof, technology package, and tow package.
I purchased in 2020 with 8,000 miles on odometer, first Jeep ever owned, I live Michigan and we had a 1 foot snow fall used snow mode was great. Also tires on Overland are more for performance than snow.
I like optional 9 speaker sound system, automatic lift gate is great when hands are full move foot under bumper and opens up.
2.0 liter engine has lot of power.
I have the early 2015 version called the Cherokee Sport, 2 wheel drive, 2.5 liter engine married to the early 9-speed trans and love it. I found 2 problems and not sure if corrected in newer vehicles ... 1) rain gutter design is poor with water pouring in the driver's window even if just cracked open. 2) the 9-speed trans shifting pattern is not set up for Canada's metric speed system ... seems to be more appropriate for miles per hour. I couldn't fix item 1) but now drive 5k over the speed limit at 50kph and 8ish over at 100kph to get the correct shift pattern. Also I find I need to shift to neutral when going down steep hills as the trans downshifts far too low. Manual shifting works for a moment but is quickly overridden. I live in the Rocky Mountains and find the 2 wheel drive more than adequate. My vehicle came with poor performing snow tires on those described cheap 17" rims and I changed these to magnesium rims and high end tires which made all the difference in appearance and traction. I hope these comments help those looking to buy an older Cherokee.
We ordered a new Cherokee in June of 2015. It is at 80,000 km now and not one issue, we love it. I highly recommend one. Just a note in Canada the lower cost ones are called Sport, then the North, and then the Limited. A Tailhawk is also available. Also, the Cherokee is a heavier vehicle that an Escape, RAV4, and CRV. It is not fair to compare them. We found the Cherokee is much quieter inside. I would choose the V6 over the 4 cylinder, on the highway there is little difference in fuel economy.
I purchased a new 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited a couple of weeks ago. Mine is equipped with the new 2.0 turbo 4. It performs well, and coming from a Chrysler 300 with a V6, this engine is a lot more athletic, it does have a slight lag when it is first engaged, but not horrible. My only comment I would make, the engine is slightly noisy during acceleration. The turbo also prefers premium fuel so if you don't want the higher fuel cost, then I'd say go with the V6. But, the 4 cylinder seems to be more efficient and returns better gas mileage. I am very pleased with the purchase. I reside in the upper midwest, where it is very cold int he winter and we get a lot of snow. I look forward to the 4x4 that Jeep is know for
On a side note regarding the negative comments about FCA. This is my second FCA vehicle, and honestly, it is probably the most reliable, and well built product lineups I've owned for vehicles. The absolute worst car I've ever owned was a 2009 Honda Accord, so the imports are not the miraculous perfection people assume.
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
Trail Hawk in Olive. My buddy has a 15 trailhawk that we lifted 2" and trimmed pinch welds, added adapters and is now running jk rubicon rims with 255/75r17 BFG KM tires. thing is sick and is running bigger tires than my Frontier for now. And My PRG lift gets here for 3" front and 3.5 rear(when i get a RTT over the bed I'll need that extra half inch) and will be running 33s. Already out drove some jeep owners on some hard trails in the Alberta Rockies so we will see what it will do when I'm not running 31s
Got a smoking deal on a 2019 Limited with the V6. I live in the Buffalo, NY area, so I'm glad to have the Jeep's 4x4 capabilities to help me get through all the snow. Picking it up today, so I'll be back to let you know how it's working out.
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!
I had the V6 in a 2017 and now in a 2019 4x4 Latitude. I bought the white--I know it makes no difference today in
resale value BUT it looks cool and is visible--and a lot of the roads in Austin are not lit once you are out of the downtown, University of Texas area. I consider the 2019 with the 3.2 V6 almost a safety feature as the straight 4 is underpowered--
if you are unfamiliar with the Jeep Cherokee try each one, especially getting on a highway. Try the Sand/Gravel setting in
an appropriate area--it makes a real difference. I suppose I have the cheaper (ha ha) interior are my sales person
is the manager of pre-owned vehicles, but my last Cherokee had 4 miles on it and this one had 345--they had to get it from another dealer. The restyling really makes this look more like the older Grand Cherokee with lots of facelift, I had a 2005 Laredo (rear wheel drive) which I don't recommend--I had light gray and was rear-ended once, and the rear wheel drive put me into a 360 degree spin. I never liked the limited slip differential, and this is what happens when part of the pavement is just a little wet but not the same as the other side. I was almost killed when a state road sign stopped my spinning--forward of the driver's side mirror. "nuff said about that." Love the looks and drivability of the new Cherokee--in 4x4 you have 4 settings including the gravel/sand/snow, but the regular FWD is sufficient. I'm getting around 20.5 mpg around Austin (some highways) with the V6.
I just bought a 2019 Cherokee Overland, with 2 liter turbo, with sunroof, in white with black leather, really like this vehicle, also has technology package.
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
Very detailed, thanks! Looking for the 2,0L Limited in grey.
I'd get the Trailhawk -- definitely on one of my "to do" lists to test drive one day. I need a good daily driver, but I do go camping a lot and sometimes the roads to trailhead access are a bit sketchy and can be washed out or rocky. However, the problem with that is once I get into the Trailhawk pricing range, I could just get a Wrangler Sport. And well, I have always wanted a Wrangler ever since I was a kid... ;)
Love my V6 cherokee!!! I had a V4 crossover before this and sooooo glad i got a V6 this time!!
Just got one for my birthday-- love this ❤
I just leased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the 2.0L Turbo engine and the cold weather package. It's incredible! The only complaint I have so far is when you punch it, sometimes the transmission takes a moment or two longer that I would like to find which gear it needs to be in. Otherwise, that turbo engine really goes!
Do you put premium gas in it?
i had a 2014 Latitude. Had to get rid of it after 2 years. Kept having a misfire in cylinder 2 (V6). They couldn't figure it out and couldn't fix it. Loved it, though!
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 picked up a Trailhawk Elite V6 with towing and safety tech. Was 33,000 out the door. I looked hard at the L attitude Plus V6 with AD2. Finally decided I really wanted vented seats and adaptive cruse with a bit more off road. I've put almost 4k miles on it in around five weeks.
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?
Now that is something. I was just looking at jeep Cherokee for the wife. We are going with the v6, comfort and convenience, cold weather, in the latitude plus package. No tow package as she doesn't off road and I have my 2018 sport ram for towing. Yes it's a hemi with a 3.92 rearend.
The question is there a quick order package that covers all 3 options so you are not being charged for the remote start twice
I would get the latitude plus is black, with the COLD WEATHER GROUP OF COURSE!!!
I have the latitude plus with the 2.4 Which dosnt bother me it still has pep. I opted for the remote start, heated vinyl seats, power lift gate, cold weather package, 4x4, 18in blacktop wheels and blackout package.
And i paid 26K out the door with rebates and incentives
I wouldn't compare the 2.4 with the V6. Very diferent. No bells and whistles on mine, 2019
good deal
I test drove a new 2017 trailhawk. I did like it. But bought a 2017 gmc Acadia all terrain. Had more room with 2nd row seat down. I can sleep in while traveling and camping.
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.
I got the cherokee trailhawk 2.0 turbo and its really good on gas. 💯
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.
Very helpful, thank you.
The new Cherokee Trailhawk is a good looking vehicle, and probably the one I'd go for. Compared to the previous model, this one looks way better
What a great informative video. I could use some help finding the right vehicle. I've been looking at the Jeep Cherokee. I will mainly be using this as an everyday driver as well as pulling a kayak and some fishing gear. With that also be driving on beaches an occasional dirt roads.not to mention I live on the east coast in New Jersey would you get our fair share of snow in the winter. Would this be a good vehicle you would recommend? If so what trim?
We did get the 2.4L, FWD only Cherokee "Sport" (Canada) - for a family city use vehicle, the 2.4L seems to merge into traffic - freeway merge- just fine. My city is too Photo-radar happy, so I'll let the Hemi Ram 2500s keep collecting those speed tickets. So we save on that, plus fuel economy, and insurance premiums maybe be lower as well (an issue up here in Alberta lately) If by chance the price of fuel does spike - like war in the middle east, for instance, fuel economy may once again be sought after. I think this 2019 Cherokee is a great driving vehicle if you don't possess a constant "need for speed".
FWIW, after driving a Toyota Avalon with ventilated seats, I don't know how I ever got along without them. It makes long road trips more comfortable, especially in the summer. I am checking out a 2021 Cherokee Limited with the Elite Package, which includes the ventilated seats. Between incentives and 0% financing, it's soooooooo tempting to forego a used SUV in favor of a brand new Cherokee.
I bought the jeep lattiude bilet silver ...use it just running around town..Its nice.... but still miss my 2014 tacoma reg.cab..
Great video really appreciate it. Definitely going to get a v6. What’s your thoughts on the upland trim. Im looking at a 2019 latitude but Just noticed there’s an extra trim I guess it came out later
I Loved The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus & Then The Limited With Both V6 & The Turbocharged Straight 4.
I would get a Trailhawk with the V6 and black wheels in one of the reds. Good review!
I got the Trailhawk Elite, but without the Technology & Safetytek and the sunroof. The main reason being the nicer heated and cooled leather seats :-)
I have 3.2 V6, limited edition red velvet color, and its the best car i’ve ever had
Do you still love it? Looking g at a used one...afraid to pull the trigger
Just got my pearl black 2018 Jeep Cherokee latitude plus with 2.4L engine & fwd I love it but I’m not sure if I can rake off road camping or hiking 🤷🏽♀️ since it’s not a 4x4
I got the 2019 Trailhawk 2.0L in pearl white.
I hope sometime you can compare the towing abilities of the V6 vs. the Turbo motors. :)
Well done, you did your homework.
Great breakdown Tommy! It's more money but I would have to go Trailhawk. Any chance we can get a similar breakdown for the Colorado lineup? Heart says ZR2 but....
I would not go off-road without a 4WD
We need a new video to detail all the new trim levels now 😂: Latitude, Latitude Plus, Trailhawk, Lattitude Lux, Limited, Altitude, Overland, High Altitude. Had a 2.4 and moved to the 3.2 and it’s a world of difference.
Hi. Thanks for the detailed and thorough review. QUESTION: Is it true that Navigation (GPS, maps, antenna etc) is already built into every 8.4" infotainment unit whether optioned initially or not; and if that is true, can the Navigation feature be activated thru FCA at any time after the purchase of the vehicle? I was told that both things are true but I'd like an expert answer.
just bought the 2019 cherokee limited with the 3.2 V6 and absolutely love it. in my opinion the V6 is so much better than the 4 Cylinder
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!
Thinking about getting a trailhawk in the silver, it looks mean!
I am going to try the Trail Hawk Elite with the 4cyl turbo and everything except the sunroof and the rock rails🏁
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 🤪😂🤣
I have the standard engine Latitude Plus and it’s a tad sluggish but not bad enough that I regret the purchase. I absolutely love this SUV! My next Jeep will be V6 though!
Simpler than 2018? Still need an expert like this guy to analyze the models and options.
Great video. I'm curious if the Overland model has the same suspension lift, or is that only on the Trailhawk model? And are the 4x4 options the same? Locking diff, off road modes?
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
So how reliable are these. I'm thinking of moving on from a Forester into a trail hawk Cherokee
I'm currently debating between the Trailhawk Elite (with Tow group, Tech group, speaker upgrade and black painted wheels in firecracker red) and the Overland (with Tow group, tech group, underbody protection). Need to test drive to see about 2.0 vs 3.2 and also how much off roading I plan to do (no rock crawling but creek wading and rugged dirt tracks to far flung trail heads). I'm in Boulder so I'm guessing the Trailhawk Elite is the better bet for Front Range trails. Perhaps I'll take it up Gold Mine Hill? LOL.
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?
Overlead and plz do a review of Toyota Highlander 2019 rav4 limited when it’s out and then lastly the Lexus NX300
Part of me would really like to get a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. But then I think about the quality and reliability of Jeep/FCA, and I can't help but reconsider. What do you think? Are reliability concerns enough to prevent you from recommending a new Jeep Cherokee?
BTW, I'd get my Trailhawk with the V6 engine, the big sunroof, and in olive green. (I wish more vehicles offered green as a color!)
Too bad you didn’t go more into the turbo option. Do you like it, would you recommend it? Also you didn’t mention the active track transmission which is needed if you want to flat tow. Thanks
Was looking for feed back on 2019 Cherokee
Was looking to buy Trailhawk compass but watched lot of mechanical issues engine 4cylinder dont pull good. Not long term suv.
Now looking at Jeep Cherokee Latitude 80th Anniversary. With most upgrades... What do you think?
It isn’t clear in this video nor on the website with the specs sheet and build configurator, which trim and packages are required to get the Active Drive 2 with Low range. I believe the Latitude plus 4x4 with towing package gets you the Active Drive 2; no towing package equals Active Drive 1. Ideally my perfect Cherokee would have either 2.0 turbo or V6, Ski Gray interior, Cold Weather Package, Towing package, and Active Drive 2. But what trims and packages will give you that Active Drive 2?
I would get the exact same one you would get I love that color
You're the Doctor Mike of automobiles.
thank you!!
Got a 2019 Latitude+ with Turbo. After test driving the V6 and 2.0T the turbo was the more desirable option. That torque is surreal.
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.
I got the trailhawk in stingray grey which interestingly wasn't one of the colors tommy mentioned, with the 2 liter turbo. My only complaint is the 9 speaker stereo system is only available in the trailhawk elite and not the regular trailhawk, as that's the only real extra option I wanted. still I love it, and have taken it off roading 3 times in the 3 weeks since I bought it, and I couldn't be happier with it. Wish it would come in a 6 speed option though, as that's what I traded in on it. I miss shifting but what can ya do
I have the original 2014 model. Transaxle replaced at 27,000 miles. Defective engine harness, defective trans ECU. More issues than I liked for sure. I have kept up with all the software updates especially on the 9 speed transmission. I have the 3.2 V6. On a recent 1200 mile trip I averaged 26.5 mpg. Pretty nice. Ride is excellent. I have the Lattitude with the electronics convenience group with Nav though nav was installed later as an update. Activated if you will. Overall this car reminds me of Honey I shrunk the Grand Cherokee in its ride. It handles better than a GC and stops better too. I rented a GC Limited 2017 and though I loved its cushy and luxury feel, it just was not as connected as the Cherokee was. I still think the GC transmission is better. the ZF 8 speed is way better than the 9 Speed ZF licensed transmission that FCA builds. Would I buy a Cherokee again. Yes, the Trailhawk with the V6. But a Grand Cherokee limited with upgraded brakes later and I would be happy. Nice video Tommy!
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.
If you had to decided. Would you go with the 2018 Cherokee limited or 2019 Cherokee limited?
How do you get the heat in the back. How do you activate the blower fan for the rear.
I got the Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus.
What can I say? I got it a few weeks ago, and I'm still very happy with my decision!
Great car!
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 wish they would offer the 2.2 diesel that is in the european version. Plus a 6speed Manual as option would be nice
Yes how can you tell if it's cold weather packsge
Get Review - Well Done
Would really like to see more offroad testing with the 2.0 L Twinscroll engine
I haven't seen any--it isn't considered off-road worthy, I suppose.
thanks again for the information. talk to dad all he wants to do is drag race lol
Hi could you please answer a question. I am going to test drive 3 identical Cherokee TrailHawks tomorrow. Only one of the 3 has the towing package. That is the only one that has anything different. My question is = since the towing package comes that way only from the factory, and can't be added later, is the towing package frame built stronger, and more reinforced???, Also I heard that the tow packaged Cherokee TrailHawk sits a little higher than a regular non- tow package TrailHawk. ?? Can you please answer, because i would rather get the tow package if these two items are true. Thank You for the help.🙂
Not sure but it has factory transmission cooler which is always a good idea even if you don’t tow
