Here's Why You SHOULDN'T Buy a Jeep Trackhawk
Вставка

- Today we're going over why the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is NOT worth it in some cases. The Jeep SRT might be the better daily driver if you aren't concerned about having 707 horsepower and the fastest suv in the world under $200,000. In most cases you won't need or use the power of the Trackhawk so the Jeep SRT 6.4L V8 475 horsepower will be enough for the daily drives. At the end of the day all that matters if being happy and enjoying the vehicle you drive.

“I wish I would’ve bought the SRT instead of the Trackhawk” -No one Ever.
facts
Biiiig facts !!!
🤣🤣🤣 facts
yo i read your comment and i started crying 🤣🤣🤣
I am happy with the srt and I bought a condo instead for 400k
“The windows are the same”💀 bro wants the windows to come bullet proof 😭
Although I own a Trackhawk i love the SRT as well. Both are quick especially on the street from a stoplight...cant beat 4wd traction. The Trackhawk does have a stronger Transfer Case, stronger axles + the Dodge Demon fuel Pumps and Gearbox(minus the transbrake) which the SRT doesnt get.
1st question people always ask ...yes the Trackhawk is extremely thirsty ...especially if the power is upgraded. As the old saying goes you are 'getting smiles per gallon not miles per gallon'. If can afford the Trackhawk ..thats the one to get
I never even knew the Trackhawk had those other upgrades, but yes the srt is great I agree. One thing I forgot to mention is that Jeep didn’t want to associate the Hawk with the SRT, you can tell by the lack of SRT badges, there’s not even one visible SRT badge from the exterior! The Trackhawk is unbelievably thirsty haha.
@@HellcatGuy It also has the upgraded 8hp95 transmission (950 Nm or ~700 lb/ft of torque compared to the 8hp70 (700 Nm or 516 lb/ft of torque) on the SRT.
The entire drivetrain of the Trackhawk is upgraded compared to the SRT and can handle a lot more force in general throughout the whole system. That also makes upgrading the Trackhawk less expensive to bring to 1000 hp+ compared to modding the SRT to that point.
Additionally, the Hellcat engine is generally considered to be much more reliable than the 6.4L Hemi under the SRT hood. The 6.4L's are known to suffer from lifter issues around 50-75k miles which can be a fairly major expense, as well as other occasional issues. It's still a pretty beastly and hearty engine, but to perform the exact same, the the SRT could be pushing touchy engine to it's max, while the TH Hellcat engine wouldn't stress a bit.
Just some more mechanical advantages not mentioned in this video that put some of the price/ownership premiums of the Trackhawk in perspective. But ultimately, it comes down to having enough money not to care.
I've had some memories have been in an SRT, and it's a great vehicle in it's own right. Just that the value equation is a bit more nuanced than your video would suggest.
I get around 8-10 miles per gallon with my Trackhawk. I got a great deal on it because it was used with 8,300 miles on it and we got my wife a new Tahoe at the same time. I tell people you don’t have to be rich to own a Trackhawk but you do in order to drive it lol
@@Trackhawk707 tuned and still with 93 and boostane i get 17mpg , and Ill still drive it like a 19 yr old in a civic lol. Forza did a good job with its tunning ... but fawk , oil change and brakes hit the wallet everytime . At the end of the day at least itll be the hardest one ill ever have to get rid of.
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, IF YOU WANT IT , BUY IT 💯
You die once...you live everyday
He made this video to convince ppl not to get it so that HE’s the only one who owns one 😂
I bought a 18 TH as soon as they came out and I LOVE it. Love. I've driven an SRT and its night & day. Worth every penny.
I think I can justify it alone being the engine and running gear… the SRT is great but common issues with the 392 is a pain, we have loads of Trx’s at my work and the hellcat motor has been awesome with those so far.
I built a 4x4 2000 dodge Dakota , with a 2003 5.9 RT running gear brakes rims , it will break loose all 4 wheels if I floor it , , yes it is has a program , but even in Econ mode I can watch the gas gage go down . love it , dinoed at 375 full programed , its insane
I came here hoping you’d talk me out of it, you did the opposite 🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for the review. I'm considering selling my Scatpack Charger for a trackhawk or srt GC but it will be used as mainly a daily driver plus the area I live in sucks commuting because traffic is HORRIBLE! All in all I'm considering the SRT more now due to your review even though I love the hellcat engine.
I drive an X5M. I love it! I was tempted to go with the SRT at first, but too many kids out there always want to race and resort to BS if you decline which leads to trouble. I don't know about you guys, but I redline at 2k. The X5M is a beast a bit quicker than the SRT on a 1/4. Where I was concerned was with all the plumbing. Dual turbos carry a lot of hoses which equates to cracking, dry rot and mechanical problems. I am sitting at 140k miles and it has been in the shop now 2 times in 6 months. Live Hard, Play Hard.
No one thinks track hawks are regular cherokees😑
You’d be surprised but idc if other people know 😭
That went over your head bro, people who aren’t car people can’t tell the difference.
@@1xBossup Correct. I just learned of the existence of the hawk despite it being 2024, and having a mild interest in fast cars. I'd have assumed it was just a regular jeep and tried to run it down with my civic. 😂
Word
Looked 2nd hand for over a year but overpriced New Zealand RHD. Brought new 2021 srt. Couldn't justify the extra for Th. With roads, traffic etc barely get to use the Srt power. The Th is 1.5 sec faster to 100kmh but Srt at 4.7sec is fast enough. Also Like the look of lower fog lights with ring headlight park combo on Srt. Th brake maintenance, tyre wear and insurance is also a cost to consider as well as keeping my licence!
What sizes those rims 22 or 20 ?
the justification is i dont have to reenforce everything else when i up the power
I had the srt, it’s a waste of money for what it has. The Trackhawk is a different beast
What do you do for a living?
@@rooonhampton6305 own a construction company
I’m definitely getting mine early next year 😊
I WANT ONE ! But are there issues with the trackhawk in the UK?
The roads I would say , are not big enough, but tha car 🚗 would make a difference ! They all driving Range Rover !
The diffuser is not the same as the SRT
Lmfao!
Why the fuck wouldn’t I buy this as a daily? 🤦🏼♂️ 🤣
Why not just get a 2019 used trackhawk for like 70 bands instead of 2022 srt for the same price
I got a great deal on mine because it had 8,300 miles on it but you’re not getting a 19 with low miles for $70k at least not around Atlanta unless you get really lucky. I paid around $80k for my 2021 with 8,300 miles on it last October. Definitely not bragging just hoping to help someone who wants one. I’ve seen dealers asking $113k for them used. The demand is high around here for them and Hellcats too.
@@Trackhawk707 how much did you put down? n do you think the car is worth is for me i’m turning 19 soon have a great job, i want a scatpack, hellcat, or trackhawk
@@SRT_Mikey I put down $12.5k. Unless you’re 19 and making over $100k a year I wouldn’t even think about it. Even if you are making six figures I would be focused on getting my own place and getting it paid off as soon as possible. I would also recommend having at least 3 months but 6 months salary would be ideal in a savings account for emergencies before I had a car note that size hanging over my head.
Hope my advice helps!
@@Trackhawk707 how many months you got it for bro?
@@esteban2670 I bought it in October of last year. The loan term is 48 months. I wasn’t sure exactly what you were asking.
you said it wasn’t a good daily driver then 5 mins later you said it was a good daily driver
I'm not the kind of guy who gives a crap about wanting to show off a vehicle I'm the type of guy who likes a "sleeper"and would rather it blend in with all other cars on the road.
Is that the factory exhaust? Sounds great, I'm sure the cops would stop just because of the sound.
why my highlander doest sound the same as this car?
I own a track and it’s pushing 1k also own a redeye Charger jailbreak and a 2018 srt demon never really had a problem besides gas price in Cali
what do you do as a job ???
@@boobfan79 real estate
Can someone tell me where I can get those rims?
Everyone has their reasons. Everyone lives different lives. I’m certainly getting mine because I have a big sis that passed away and at that moment of life I was happy. With that car not only Im happy but it’s kinda a resemblance to her how she was personally. If anything it’s motivation for other people. If I could do it you could do it
Do you want to Sell those 5 Spoke wheels?
I feel like racing in my 5.7 😂
Upgraded suspension and braking is importante
What wheels are those !! Love it
Challenger hellcat!
What are the specs for the wheels ?
I wonder how those rims would look on my Durango hellcat
I plan on putting a performance package when i get one
I installed a cold air intake on mine and actually lost 7hp when I was expecting to gain 5-15hp.
I’m thinking about upgrading the supercharger pulley to add more boost next. I get around 8-10 miles per gallon right now so I can’t imagine what one with 1000hp+ would be like
Buy a used one with low miles. That’s what I did and I don’t regret it at all
4:05 - 4:22 barrrrsssss🔥🔥
I am about to trade in my Audi S7 as a down payment for a Tesla Model S Plaid. After driving one they truly amazing and the speed of course is just wacky.
Brub all you gotta do is tune a SRT 😂😂😂. Save your money
“Legally” street race. LoL, man.
it does everything 😮💨
im torn between this and a 392 durango with the upgraded and interior
SAME my only issue is that the Durango body style is very identical to the rest of the Durango line-up
I luv this car car shiiiit the speed n sound
People can’t tell what is is yet because you have put the wide body kit on yet 😈
So the srt have carbon fiber too??
Yes
The top trim option
I never would’ve thought dodge would be charging so much and getting away with it with the pieces of crap they build they are the worst out of the big three between Chevy and ford. I’ve owned all cars maybe not the highest level trims of their sports cars but I’ve owned a mustang gt Camaro and 300 s with the 5.7 and the Chrysler literally gave me the most headache with the lifters and cam going out. I love the design of the challenger and was a fan when they first brought it out without having to persuade you with the hellcat versions. I remember going to the auto show out here in Chicago and they revealed the challenger and I told my bro this is the best looking car out there and he thought I was crazy. Now look how popular these cars are it’s crazy. Just make sure you add extra warranty on the motors listen for ticks and keep money in the bank. I assume tho if you can afford a 70 to 100 thousand dollar car you can handle the maintenance. Chevy zl1 and the super snake or older Shelby cobra, hell the Chevy ss or newer 5.0 is a better bet. The challenger and chargers look so good though. Pick your poison though quality or constantly getting things fixed. I spend 100 k on a car it needs to be right not just the outside but the motor and surrounding parts need to be built to handle the power. Don’t mod them unless you got a lot of back up money and don’t put a warranty on them if you do mod it will cancel the warranty and t’s not cheap. So many people I know had to replace the motors on 5.7 to the bigger motors 392 and up. The 6 cylinders run good I know people with the 6 cylinder chargers and it’s smooth sailing . The challenger version of the 6 cylinder stinks and I love v8s it ain’t got to be the biggest but I’ve always owned v8s and the Hemis I love but even if you baby them they have problems
I still want it! Hell yeah!
Only the engine? 😂well yeah
the same
What’s the same? I forgot.
The fact he went npc though
The trackhawk launch is illegal in some states.
What do you mean by that? The launch control?... Using it is?
OK!! So if you can afford it get it if not get a srt
Hmm i have da .wish I had 1 special adition..not out yet..fk
Lmao what a muppet.
All I heard was its the same it's the same continuously
This kid has no clue what he’s talking about. “Crackles” lmao you get the trackhawk for moving the kids and family by day and the hitting the drag or strip at night. You don’t buy this kind of vehicle same with the SRT and think about the gas. This is a powerful SUV and probably one of my favorites
If you use the black key it's only 500hp you only need the red key if you're racing duh 😂😂😂😂 kids these days think they know it all
Sorry dude.
They’re not the same at all.
The SAME
Does Tool mean the same thing in Canada?, because, he's a Tool
Thanks guy!
Trust Fund Tool...
The same the same the same the same soooooo if I go on eBay and grab buy a hellcat motor for like 15 I’m way ahead
I’d buy the trackhawk because it’s just so fun to drive, and yours looks great, love the black! ❤️👍
4:08 rapper
😂😂😂
na idc im buying the trackhawk so i can bully peapole in traffic
Are you 20? Giving me advice… BWAHHHHAAAHHHAAAA
Tesla model X Plaid 100k 😂😂😂
Yeah this guys a gronk. No idea
Shit reviews like this give this car a bad name for it the trackhawk is a fantastic car great build reliable/ bad reviews like this stopped the production
This wasn’t a bad review, the vehicle isn’t for everyone
Jesus died for our sins repent and believe in him none of this stuff matters
Trackhawks are nice but the most impractical vehicle to own. Plenty of faster suvs that will hold up better than any mopar
The brakes are the same ..
My overland is almost same inside
Is it awd???
I know the Trackhawk is AWD
SRT, as a performance car it is compromised, as a 4x4 it is compromised. The car makes zero sense
You shouldn't buy it because it fiat junk
