  • The SRT is a track focused SUV with massive power. So how well will it cope when taken into the mud?

      spongegary busey I live in SoCal. Jeeps like these are bought by Mexicans. They put huge rims, lower it, and add 8k hids. Off roading wouldnt even be considered. Nice to see one stock also lol. Not racist toward Mexican as I am one but I don't see any other states lowering trucks or SUV. I hate it.

      In the end they're better than all the things you could get for the same price. And the trackhawk outperforms most sports cars of the same price anyway. The trackhawk can run a 10 sec quarter mile.

    Only in the UK does a car reviewer say the best thing about a 500 HP AWD Jeep is the sun visor. Lol! Still - good review.

    If u think this is too expensive I think the 3.6 petrol v6 in our grand Cherokee is plenty quick enough and has sport mode which makes it feel really fast

    I've driven my FWD subcompact on rougher roads than that...
    Yes, it was technically off road, but it's a jeep, you could have at least tried to drive it over a grassy hill or something so we could see the AWD system and how it handled it.

    That off road looks like driving on roads in Brazil

    Wow taking a jeep "off-road" so original. And plus the "off-road" was just on a muddy road.

    the short answer is NO.
    Yes it tourque splits, has traction control, but no low range. approach and departure angles are better than some other performance SUV's and it will definitely surprise, but if you took one off road it would take damage, on approach, and the 'splitter' would be no more.

    Well, almost 1/3 of it is off-pavement but still on-road. 1/3 of your face while you are driving and 1/3 is moving pictures of the vehicle, from a REAL off-roader. 😂
