  • I give you my thoughts on why I feel that the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is still the best performance SUV for the money. I also give you some mind-numbing statistics about just how capable the Trackhawk is compared to many other performance icons. How do you think the Trackhawk stacks up against the other SUV's out there?

    As a proud owner of 2021 Trackhawk, I can honestly say that its the best car i ever bought,I think trackhawk is the best option to enjoy the hellcat motor on street and the best part it has a sleeper look, not many people know about it so its performance surprises a lot of people.

      sick!!!! You know exactly how it is!!! I’m gonna just sell my 2019 5.0 pp1. I just don’t like driving sedans or coupes. Once you are used to driving the hawk, you don’t want a smaller vehicle. My 2019 Raptor is sick for long trips since I have the bed setup for off roading: 2 extra spares, pro eagle big wheel 2 ton jack, max trax boards, shovel, c02 powertank. Shit is ready for all emergencies. But it’s sluggish as fuck!!!!!! Especially after adding all that weight. I’m waiting for the Raptor R. But that might be unattainable. Markups are over 100k.
      U really think you will drive the hellcat challenger if you get one? I think the Trackhawk is much more fun. And from a dig, it’s a monster!!! Either way, hope you happy with your choice!! If you get the challenger hellcat, u light as well get the one with the most hp. Is that the red eye?

    I had an '18 Trackhawk and I have to say that I really liked it. It's very comfortable to drive, has a pretty nice sound system, is quite fast, doesn't get great MPG, and is practical for pretty much anything you want to do while having fun doing it. I only got rid of mine because I now live in a small town and now do maybe 3000 miles a year, if that, so I decided to keep my '21 GT500 instead. No point in having two high car payments when I barely drive.

    Ehh. For the money, It’s cool for straight lines but for anyone that likes to do more than digs and rolls, it lacks severely. In the Hawk’s defense, most people that get aren’t looking for handling and consistent brake performance. Can’t turn, brakes are shit compared to any of its competitors in its performance range, suspension way too soft and extremely high. Just lack luster once you get past the immense launching capability. But once you point out the short comings, you’re a hater so I’ll leave it at this I guess.

      These stop better than the average car on the road so I don’t think anyone is in any danger.

    This thing is a joke quality wise compared to any of the top European SUVs. Way overpriced

    If you take the speed limiter off the trackhawk and add great suspension and lower it 2” itll easily out run a hellcat

    The trackhawk will run all day with a full tank of gas and all those stupid electric cars barely last a day
