Check out my written Trackhawk review here:
www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2334...
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the quickest, fastest, and most powerful production SUV on the market. Using the Hellcat 707HP Supercharged V8, all-wheel-drive, and a well dialed-in suspension, the Trackhawk does go, stop, and turn well.... for a Jeep. As we learn by putting it on a track in a crowded track day, all those gains mean little when you can't stop.

Let's pause for a second and acknowledge something about this car that Matt very briefly mentioned. It diverts the AC into the intake to keep you from melting the engine with screaming hot supercharged air if it senses that the air intake temp is getting too high. That is extremely cool technology if you ask me. Literally and figuratively.
toastedtireify Its just something else to screw up. I have zero faith in Fiat technology after owning two of their product in a row.

@@THESLlCK Everything works flawlessly at first. Hell, even my exwife was a good woman for a solid 4 years before going to shit.
@@edjackson4389 You're obviously a picker then, between two "bad" cars and a wife. You should reflect on that for a bit.

Actually tracking a Trackhawk, the absolute madman!
Racing around a track in something with enough towing capacity to pull another one of itself behind it, with A/C running and a nice set of cooled seats keeping your balls from getting too moist, with a sticker price contained within 5 figures. If that's not AMERICA, I don't know what is.
That sounds great, honestly.
*you have to add in the 6 MPG cumulative average over 5 days of driving* without the unbelievable amount of wasted resources to run this thing, you're not properly representing america. America is about conspicuous overconsumption of resources.
Europe over consumes good cheese and wine. We over consume petrol. Point taken but this is an exercise in outlandish grace, space and pace. Thank you FCA. Let the Europeans claim the Stelvio Quadrafixitallthetimeglio, we have the TRACKHAWK!!!!
Pretty much you can tow your trailer to sleep in/bike in and track it when it's raining and there is nothing to do. When you have mad money instead of saving and investing you blow it on track day.
All the full size American SUVs are capable of doing everything you mentioned the track hawk is just faster
I hope that Z06 wasn't copying your whole line. That cut across the grass could be kinda expensive in a C7.
haha yeah a couple people wanted me to show them my line, and they definitely got a little surprise on turn 3
Users advice: take the vincero watch and wrap it around your balls. Thank me later.
So ill know what time to bust a nut!!
Los Pollos Hermanos by the airport for lunch. Gus will be there in his Volvo.
"Gonna let this corvette go by" 3:15 *M3 passes* LOL
Good catch. I don’t listen to half of what this dude says but he can drive decently and gets to run the coolest shit out there.
Killer Mike concert? All I gotta say is RTJ!
these videos are awesome! i just keep imagining lights and sirens on you because you are driving like it's stole, bravo
"The jeep line"
So funny I love it. Great review!
Can't wait for these to come down in the used market. I'd totally get one
Should have called it "Hellhawk" but then again what do I know...
I don't think it would've mattered, because if I ever got one I'd take off the trackhawk and supercharged badges on the side so it was as much of a sleeper as possible so that a) cops are less likely to give me shit and b) so asshats in little imports who scoff at me can be smoked
This thing is ridiculous but *boy* does it sound and look good!
the fact that your in a suv on a race track hanging with race cars i'd say is impressive all by it's self. i love my JGC SRT!
Love this jeep!
Thanks for taking the time to respond to so many comments on Instagram. Part of what makes TST so good, aside from the content and Zack, is the obvious time you spend interacting with followers. Impressive the way you have busted your butt even though you come from a comfortable even privileged background. As long as you write and report I will read and listen and learn. Thanks Mr. Farah for informing and entertaining. Good luck in all your future endeavors!
Thanks for watching/listening/reading!
"If you live in Houston you'd love it." Hahahaha.
People do love their SUVs here.
And I'd love to drive one around for a weekend.
I wish these "performance" Grand Cherokee's kept the center exhaust tips from the original SRT8
I agree I loved the center exit exhausts, but it makes mounting a hitch and possibility of towing a lot harder or almost impossible
Seems like a good idea, but you can't tow with that, and I burned my legs on the tips a couple times
Don't forget the wanabe wk srt8s! I was joking with someone saying i'm making my 4.7 into an srt8 XD
i hated the center mount and really limited what size/capacity hitch you could use.
Saarang Singh I agree they should’ve at least given the option. If you didn’t want to tow package, you could have sent exhaust. That would’ve been cool. But the whole undercarriage I’m not so sure it was made for it so I don’t think they can do that
you nailed it, on all points. i would def go the Macan route.
Sounds fantastic Still amazed manufacturers will make something like this those 👍
Brooooo!!!! I was your valet at Park N Fly!!! I just subbed to your channel 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
When he said "I know you're itching to get to this video" I was 100% sure he was gonna talk about ball powder. Way to ruin a segue Matt Farah!
It’s a beast. I need it
Houston!!! I see these things everywhere!
I still like the Range Rover Sport SVR more, but this thing is just hilarious, Matt summed it up nicely. It’s totally ‘Merica.
Brexit proves you wrong
There is nothing about the SVR that's cooler than this
Hey Matt.....you will like this!! I have a Trackhawk and I have a 911. It’s a serious toss up as to which vehicle has a better turning radius.
I do not think these are actually built for the track. But nice to see one of these actually being raced. Im waiting a year before I pick one these up.
SIX!! Thats one thirsty beast!!!!
Driving a big-ass SUV and really decent speeds on a Track must be fun.... and probably surprises a few
Yeah it's not a "racing car"... but, Kudo's to Jeep for doing something a bit out of "left field"... Cheers
The Chrysler group cars with the Hellcat engines all look like an absolute laugh. The Trackhawk for the sake it can do this kinda well surprisingly.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO ASK YOU WHAT BRAND IS YOUR GLASSES THAT YOU WEAR ALWAYS ON YOUR VIDEOS.THEY LOOK AMAZING
Did anybody else get some Forza dejavu? Just building a crappy turning car for Road America but high horsepower so that you can beat everyone on the straights lol
Forza doesn't show anything accurately
LMAO love the video, love the review, but how do one expect good gas mileage and you have been tracking a car with a 2.2liter blower and putting out over 700hp? And who buys such a vehicle with the expectation of good gas mileage? That's like buying a viper and saying it doesn't have good trunk space...lol. if one buys a track Hawking, they aren't thinking about gas mileage, they purchase for torque and power...and huge grins...
Loved that chuckle after the mpg. Lmao
I just can't stop drooling over that blue EF seDan #danthesedan
would a trackhawk beat a m5 around a lap? i would like to see you do a 4 door badass soon. like a m5 or a gs-f
That R32 Vr6 sounded sweet
14:20 Houston baby. That's why this is my next SUV.
I really do think that FCA is getting rid of the Grand Cherokee, and Challenger/Charger/300 chassis. The platforms are actually Daimler owned and I know they want them back. People are saying the Guilia platform will take over for the cars but not sure on the GC. Think they are coming up with all these Hellcats, demons, etc for one last shebang with these platforms.
Damn when you hit 140 lol I was like CAN HE STOP.
Would love to see the Durango Hellcat get a review like this for comparison.
This car, fully loaded, in the US: ~86K USD;
in socialist Germany: 120K EUR or ~140K USD;
in socialist Netherlands: 240K EUR or ~275K USD.
Kind regards from Amsterdam
So a 720s or a trackhawk?
Still total shit at 86k :D
Raitzi have you driven one my friend
I don't drive shit like this :D There is no sense in this like Matt said. Bad on track, bad as daily for the stupid fuel consumption.
I LOVED amsterdam last month! having cars all-but-banned from the city center was amazingly quiet and beautiful. I would totally pay the extra tax and stuff to live there and have that level of living inside of a city. Much better to have that than the ready, cheap availability of useless trucks.
i've noticed the same thing about FCA seats...driven a new jeep..new journey..new van..all feel as if my left leg crushes the seat cushion and i start sliding to the left....very uncomfortable
Yooooo....is that a GMT Master 2!? Great video!!
it is! good spot
How would you compare the TrackHawk to the Lamborghini Urus?
I wonder if the NA V8 Durango/GrandCherokee can be this good
soeracing in the foxbody!
Not sure if you mentioned it, but consider upgrading the brakes.
Muscle Truck! That would be great to have just to take the kids to school! They should make a limited edition with school bus crayon colors and call it the FREDDY KRUGER PACKAGE! That thing is a beast! Not great on the track, but in the real world of commuting!!!
That blue ef sedan is famous asssss helll
Our dealer has 3 or 4 of these that have been sitting on the lot for over a year. Nobody wants them. All of them fully loaded $110k out the door. They sell hellcat charger/challengers and standard SRT JGC's like hotcakes though. I guess Chrysler finally crossed the line.
Sheesh, what will he do with the new Firehawk??
Opening monologue, I'm thinking "Why is Thanos in a Trackhawk?!?!?"
I like that you fuck with Killer Mike.
It's not always "Murica". Look at them crazy Australians. In fact, they probably have more fun than us now that tracks here in the U.S. cost so much to get in. Those guys have burnout competitions, sometimes building a car JUST for burnouts. Checkout Roadkill Australia, you'd love it.
I'm Australian - wtf is Roadkill Australia

Honda kicking ass at 3:50 🤣😂💯
Yes i would like in Houston please
Where do i get those sunglasses?
What are requirements to be able to drive cars such as track hawks and hellcats ???
money?
Speaking of Foxbodies, anything new with your Foxbody, Matt?
He has said on the podcast that he's going to raffle it off this autumn.
I'm raffling it off the month of October - details will come when it's details time.
No way
Guess this isn't going to be the RS replacement for DD duties?
Matt, I'm not a tall guy, not fat, but am big boned if you will, what size watch do you recommend?
I have an 8" wrist and 42-45mm seems best for me for sport watches, or like a 40 or 41 for dress watches.
You hurt my feelings talking about the Z like that. 😢😢 i think that was a 350 though. My Stock 370 would hang with the Jeep, NOT. Maybe around a slow corner. Still a very fun car to daily drive. How often would you be able to redline a hellcat going through the gears on public streets without getting arrested? That’s why my z is perfect for me.
5300 pounds. I am impressed with how it did on the track. I approve of its name ;)
I'd daily this beast.
this thing corners better than a challenger
Still think FCA should've made a hellcat version of the 300. Also apparently Dodge said they couldn't put AWD in the charger hellcat for some transmission reason, but they were able to with this
Because this is a truck transfer case, not a sedan-based AWD system.
Yeah and if I remember even the jeep drivetrain had to be severely beefed up to cope with the foreseeable abuse.
+TheSmokingTire ohhh gotcha, makes sense. Still think they should find someway of getting AWD in the hellcat or make a 300 hellcat
@@DanielJackson-uc8xk dodge is selling AWD Hellcat Charger interceptors to police now
Man that Integra was whipping.
If you happen to see another Durango/GrandCherokee on road, don’t mess with them.
Chances they might blow your doors off.
3:55 - There's my like!
damn, here I am thinking this thing is only for rich soccer mom's and dads to look cool with. such a weird SUV but I love it
That z06 passed the trackhawk on the straight?? Damn..
Um well may I just say a drag strip is infact a track
Eh, no it isn't. Pretty much no one calls it a "track." I've never heard someone say "i'm going to a track day," and they meant drag racing.
@@TheSmokingTire I didnt say anything about track day however when ever me and my buddies go to the track everyone know what I'm talking about up here in northern California knows what I'm talking about I'm sorry you dont not to say that you dont know anything about the track but you dont drag race
OK, let's keep it in Chrysler's family then: Challenger Drag Pack - why isn't it called the Track Pack? Because that's a different thing entirely. Even FCA knows this with their marketing.
I'd wager that 9 out of 10 Trackhawks that actually see track time see it on a drag strip.
I know this is anecdotal but I've heard several people around me say they were going to "the track" in reference to drag racing. FCA seems to have a more similar vision to you though with all these reviews on track.
'Merica...
Did you say Killer Mike as in the rapper?
Man that thing would be obnoxious at 180
wonder how police package tahoes handle compared to this
My girlfriend bought me a vincero watch for our anniversary. Nice design, but it feels cheap.
Seems like if you put some big ol 45's on it and lifted the fuck out of it it would make a sweet bogger. But taking a 100k car with 15k in upgrades in a bog would just be crazy. They should have just made it a baja theme if off road worthyness...
4:20 that is by no means an AMG.. Just a regular GLE450 or whatever
Geez, the rotors on that are bigger than the rims on my XJ Cherokee!
Maybe by "track" they meant the drag strip?
YEEUUMP
Matt, will the new Civic type R beat this on that track?
i tracked a Civic Type R on this same track last year - there is video, you can compare side by side performance.
Checkout Demon performance
Why the hell would they put the same steering wheel of a base model 30k Grand Cherokee on this?
I want to go to a Killer Mike show.
Those fuckin CUTS
I don’t know why people hate on fast SUVs. I along with millions of people own and like SUVs. A fast one is more betterer! For safe overtaking 😎
Also, if anyone from General
Motors is reading, you need to do a Z06 drivetrain version of the Yukon and the Sierra!
Edit: I suppose it would be the Tahoe and Silverado if anything
John Morrison i like fast suvs too, makes for comfortable road trips and commutes, but can be fun when you have an open stretch of road.
Steel brakes?! Why not carbon?
Any vehicle designed to carry four to five people on public roads with 700hp is ridiculous... soooooo much fun though. You gotta love mankinds undying believe in 'I can make it bigger, better, faster' 😂
@3:15 that Corvette looked mysteriously like a BMW.
Track day 101 better pads , tires and pads
lo Matt how can you promote another watch company but you are wearing a Rolly?
lol *
Reaper5.56 Xx lol good point
In a straight line that WK2 will destroy most of the cars you saw on that track if not all... stupid fast. But in the twisties it's a handful no doubt
A Model 3 Performance is just as fast, and a lot cheaper.
This reminds me of Forza races where someone picks an SUV and Rams everyone
For those will a 3rd of the money should get a Typhoon, or Cyclone. The weight difference will have you walk these track hawks at red lights.
But not on highways.
lol yeah from 0-40.
It’s 707 Hp how can you expect it to be good on gas...
and extremely heavy, with poor aerodynamics. But it's badass
@@dannyllerenatv8635 why is Megan Fox's kid ugly
DannyLlerenaTV the aerodynamics aren’t poor per say. Just not as efficient as an super sports car.
I don't expect it to be good on gas. I expect FCA to build vehicles that can perform well but also run efficienty, and this is not one of those cars.
TheSmokingTire I hear you .. but unless your buying a Tesla most .. Performance cars .. sports cars aren’t fuel efficient
Did you allow that Integra to pull away?
yes to make extra room for myself in the next braking zone.
I wish FCA would just put some sort of V8 in the 4 door wrangler.
CastironCowboy if it helps their gonna put a diesel in it at some point. Gets the torque of V8 but not the horsepower or the glorious sound
@@ishanbose7161 that would be pretty damn cool!
