I'll be moving to this area in 2024 and look forward to doing this trail in my Trailhawk. Thanks! And thank you for eliminating crappy music and/or excessive talking! Love just the sounds of the trail!
I saw one of those at Panther Rock.. That trail is rough getting down there, but it made it with no damage in and out.
Yeah, i've seen some recent video, gwtting pretty erroded for sure! It's amazing what a few years and weather will do to a trail!
Hello from Cranbrook, BC in Canada 🇨🇦 I just discovered your UA-cam page, and I have to thank you SO much for showing me what a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk can really do. I was 90% sure that’s what my next vehicle would be, but was having difficulty finding a good review online. It was always just a walk around, showing the info-tainment console, maybe a highway drive, or some very light off-roading. Your videos are so awesome, and exactly what I was looking for to see the real off road capabilities of the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I also see that you post a few videos on accessories. Fingers crossed I’ll have a new 2020 Trailhawk in the next couple of months. Thanks again,
Awesome! Thats why i made the channel, to get more info out there on how great these things are! Yeah, there are a lot of cringe worthy 'reviews' that its obviously someone who has no clue what buttons do or capabilities.
Let me know . I have a Rubicon and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Which ever.let me know. I’m out of Nashville. Either Rubicon or Overland.
0been on both of them. Loved it!
Please send info. Dates, where, ?
Nice colorful trail. I have nothing against less rocky routes.
Awesome as usual, always fun seeing what our TH can do.
I heard he’s buying a wrangler
Great video as always. Glad to see your TH is back in working order again!
Me too! Hoping for a couple more weekend outings then she'll get to take it easy this winter...
Every time I watch ur vids I think about getting a jeep TH ! Keep up the vids and i may just buy one lol
For everyone doubting this we went through it yesterday and it was not a cake walk any more
Very pretty. Tame compared to most of your other trail videos. I don't see an antenna on Fearless. What kind of radio do you use?
The little 2-way types. My primary is a baofeng, but we use the same freq as channel 22 on most of the name brand 2-ways. My club has pretty much seitched away from CBs to the radios. At some point I'm going to mount a radio unit inside, but for now the handheld with the little speaker/mic chord work just fine.
Yeah, this one was a bit more tame, but it was a very straightforward edit and it was exactly the type i was looking for when searching for footage from the trail before i went. The next few vids will be a little more exciting, just have to find the time to get them edited.
Great video man. Question: Would you ever consider the WK2 Trailhawk over the KL for off-road? I like the size and the 5.7 Hemi option, for the WK2, but I'm hesitant to buy something that doesn't have a rear locking dif.
Man, love your vids. Just got a 2018 Compass Trailhawk and while I'm nowhere near thinking it has this capability, you're giving me the itch to find some light trails to give it a whirl.
Thanks man! Find a Jeep club and get involved!
You should go try that trail again now it looks absolutely nothing like that now
Good video. We will be out there on the 12 th
Have fun man! Its a great park!
That thing needs some flex... but not bad for a crossover suv
Would you buy another Trailhawk? Or get a wrangler Rubicon j stead? Curious and welcome comments. I am looking both right bow.
Trailhawk. I just don't like how the solid axles handle highway. The KL does enough for me.
Nice. I think a renegade 4x2 can do that trail.
Thanks for sharing. Would you say a Grand Cherokee with a 2" lift and 31" tires would make that trail? We don't have the air suspension. 06 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7L.
Not a clue. Maybe you'll be fine? Its been two years since i ran it, and apparently it has changed a LOT. I wouldn't try it without skid plates and rock sliders.
@@FearlessTrailhawk thanks. It has factory skid plates.
Cool ive got a '19 KL TH Elite same color with 2.0T. Which motor you have ?
Edit: Nvm just saw your small tips dual exhaust you got same motor! how you like it?
V6, like it so far. Worked well up at 13k feet this summer in Colorado!
@@FearlessTrailhawk oh I thought the V6 had the kind of fake tail pipes over the tips. well my son '16 cherokee sport 3.2 4x4 has them. did you hesitate between the 3.2 or 2.0T ? I can tell you I really enjoy my 2.0T so far and its faster than my son 3.2 and better mpg at the same time. Durability... well I will see on the long term.
Did it still drive straight on a flat road or do you needs get the alignment done every once in a while?
I haven't had to get alignment done in a long time. Even after i beat the crap out of it in Moab this summer.
That's my "home park" if u will...lol but they have completely destroyed that trail! All the way thru the cleared section use to be very large boulders and had a creek always running down it. And also the very steep turn at 24:30ish had a big undercut spot on the inside of the turn that made even the best of rigs lift a tire. I hate that SMH. I'm in the construction field but on the way out the trackhoe could've replaced alot of the rock's IMO but i get it. Was 1 of the prettiest rides.
I feel like most of the trails in Vinton County are more difficult than what you showed in this video. Like you said, they need Badges for all walks of life (skill levels), but I think the Badges should be a little more difficult.
Keep in mind, this trail was bulldozed to allow heavy machinery access to work on the gas line the week i ran it, all those big rocks piled on the side of the trail used to be on the trail.
I feel like they are just different types of difficulty. Vinton trails have some small technical bits spaced out with dirt road and occasional deep ruts. Where ruts weren't much of a concern here just rocky bits, which Vinton doesn't have much of.
Out of curiosity do you just run in auto or do you change modes/put in 4low? Enjoy the video's!
Always in 4Low on the trails. No sense wearing stuff out in 4High traveling at 5mph all day. I usually leave it in Auto, unless i'm trying to more delicate rock crawling then i'll use Rock (slows throttle response, so its not as jumpy) or if i know i'm gna need to keep wheel spin up i'll put it in Sand/Mud to get through the obstacle then back to Auto.
@@FearlessTrailhawk thanks. My Trailhawk is the first vehicle I've had with all these modes. Still testing things out. I've always had trucks with a 4 wheel drive shifter. Appreciate it!

@@FearlessTrailhawk Thanks
What is your city MPG. Mine is like 13. Stock everything. Seems horrible. And that's with the 4cyl
hmmm, something sounds off. when i was stock i was doing 22 mpg average. Modded its around 17-18, higher if its all smooth 60 mph driving.
@@FearlessTrailhawk 22+ mpg on the interstate... hadn't gotten it on the interstate yet since purchased.. My daily route just sucks... all hills... slow speed... no interstate...
@@FearlessTrailhawk I'm still going to put in a k&n cold air and get the fuel system cleaned out...
Favorite trail is 12..
Very cool.
What is the easiest trail in windrock for stock jeep ??
🤷 i only really did the two badge trails, there are like a hundred trails there. I'd say most Green trails should be good for a stock jeep, but i was only there for a single day to run two medium trails...2.5 years ago...
Nice. Also do they have air stations ??
@@marcoalvarez4011 🤷 don't remember if they did or didn't.
Great video! Think a stock Cherokee Trailhawk would have made it through?
Through, yes. There would have been liberal use of the skid plates and definite damage to the plastic rockers. I probly would have tried it stock, but i'm okay with dinging up MY rig...
How much lift did you put on your TH to do the trails? Any other mods? I have a stock 2016.
Nice trail how long in real time take you to hit all the trail???
About 25-30 mins each way. Its a bit different now as the trail has weathered a bit since i ran it last year.
Amaizing !!! Thanks hope see you there some day !!!
Yes! First here! Where is this trail?
Windrock Park in TN
Yes. First here. Where is this trail?

If u do the Trailhawk ride again this year, get in contact with me by replying to this message and I would like to go. Thanks.
I usually do several each year, and mention them in video's, and in video descriptions. I try to make a post on my 'community' tab, as well as post on facebook and occasionally instagram.
As much as i'd like to scour the comments from every video over the past three years looking for ppl who asked me to respond to them individually about each ride "when you do another", ain't nobody got time for that. Nothing against you, but thats just how it is. Keep an eye out on upcoming videos.
23:41 ....that's what she said.
I would probably drive this trail at about 25 mph. Momentum is your friend. I know you city folk like to creep and crawl but it's not all that necessary.
Video never does a trial justice. I thought the same thing about certain sections of some trials, and in all honesty, the trail would just beat you to death and put too much of a strain on your suspension that's not necessary.
He's just sour. He thinks i should never go off pavement, that neither my vehicle of choice nor me as a driver should ever participate in this great hobby. He's not the first hater, nor will he be the last.
Badge of honor? I think not!
Just because it doesn't require 40s and tons double locked, doesn't mean it can't be a badge trail.
FYI, rumor has it the trail ratings by Jeep are the difficulty for a STOCK jeep to complete. Granted many trails have changed throughout the years due to weather and heavy use.
Whoever is following needs to give you room. Prety close to you in some shots.
Personally, i never really felt i needed more space, plus the footage is zoomed in a bit. He did come closer the couple times i slowed down unexpectedly, but he always stopped just fine. When i'm running a chase camera i prefer to have them closer than farther. Have had some guys who won't get within 200ft and it gets really annoying especially around curves. (and then the footage is wasted)
Badge of honor? Really?
Umm, yes? Whats wrong with that?
