[@KeepYourSWORDInYourHand]

I have no idea why he's doing so much crying, anyone who's ever had a JGC knows it tripods regularly due to independent suspension and they still go anywhere anyone with sense would go completely stock, with ease...give me a break.

[@timkincade9763]

I like doing the tripod. I don't want a electric jeep I'll keep the WK 2 Trail hawk I'm good up to a 6.7 under the hood. No charging station in the middle of the pine Barrens out 4 wheeling ✌️

[@fahdabdulaziz5067]

I wish if you had tried it in off road2 with sway bar disconnect. That will show us if it really makes any difference. Nice review nonetheless.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks for watching. We had every intention but were overrrun before we could film that configuration.

[@omni_0101]

The e-save mode makes a ton of sense if you want to run a camp off the battery, not to flex that you can do a trail off electric like who cares. Unfortunately, unlike with the trailhunter and powerboost there is no real inverter to speak of. It pains me to bring along a solar generator in a hybrid. Ill probably wait for the 4 runner refresh but I really want a PHEV 😅

[@MrKozanitis]

A spotter! Yes! An experienced (key word) spotter is invaluable in any off-roading especially if more than a Blue Trail!

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks for watching.

[@fadelibrahim7663]

i dont think this trailhawk came with a LSD, many times the rear tires were spinning at different ratios while on low. Looks like LSD is now optional on trailhawks

[@tromboned3]

This wouldve been a perfect video, but by bad talking Off-Road 2 before using the Swaybar disconnect, that was a poor choice. You should definitely redo this with that setup.

[@EricNelsonYT]

This is an incredible example of how numbers on a spec sheet do NOT tell the full story.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Indeed.

[@E-MTBs]

That’s a lot of power from just the little gas motor

[@beckyconley8565]

Great review

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thank you

[@snturner10]

No potholes. Right rear brake rotor broke in half on my 2023 trailhawk with just 1450 miles on it. Dealer says I hit a pothole and it's not covered under warranty.

[@GTGarageTalk]

I’m sorry that happened. Sounds like you need to find a secondary dealer opinion.

[@henryjones6957]

Go to another one and don't tell him about the pothole this time

[@Mr3boodKSA]

5.7?

[@GTGarageTalk]

Nope. The V8 is no longer offered in the shorter JGC, only the 3-row L. This is the plug-in hybrid with the 2.0L 4-cylinder and electric motor.
