2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk | Road Test

[@MrBossCav]

John H. Davis literally talks and sounds the same now as he did 30 years ago... Thats some good job security

[@ZepG]

I remember watching him in the early 80's on PBS, I was always into cars and this was the first car review show on TV.

[@jeepthing98]

When John Davis retires, I'll probably stop watching MotorWeek clips. Kinda like how I pretty much stopped watching The Price is Right when Bob retired.

[@rickslick730]

That's very true! I have been watching M/W from the very beginning

[@joshua6200]

Thanks! I was going to type the same!!

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Yes, unfortunately MW has branded itself too well with John Davis. This review is the perfect example - the actual reviewer is shoved to the side with John's voiceover. It isn't the best thing to do in the long run.

[@Jr1987Gt]

Dodge needs a an SRT Ram version with the 6.4 they already have the Ram Rt. Chrysler is killing the game right now nothing but badass cars and trucks

[@Mettz97]

Juan Villa *suggestion:* Dodge Journey SRT 6 with *a twin-turbo V6,* performance package, and a mean name similar *Hellcat*

[@michaelmontgomery2446]

Juan Villa really I'd say American cars are killing it right now the Demon, ZL1 1LE, Z07, Ford GT, Track hawk, ACR, a new ZR1 Corvette the way (mid engine hype).

[@Jr1987Gt]

+Michael Montgomery Agree 100%

[@DrBIeed]

Love my SRT Ram with the 8.3. :-p

[@TsukuyomiPlayz]

The need an srt4 dart! There's a lot of competition in the 4 cyl turbo category right now

[@billjoang]

Like that drivers getup. Looks like the flinstones episode when Barney had a toothache

[@LearnAboutFlow]

Or Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol

[@jimjames8660]

He'sa "Goggles Paisano"!

[@roadrash76]

Maybe he has mumps?

[@corski]

I love watching the MotorWeek throwbacks. Imagine showing this video to MotorWeek viewers in 1982: "Its got 707HP and goes from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, oh and its $87,000."

[@01trsmar]

I am getting one of these next spring ! 75,400 trouble free miles on my 2015 Challenger Hellcat,best time of 10.91 with street tires..Yes,I am used to powerful ,tractionless vehicles..(I also own a 2017 Hellcat Challenger just love them high quality cars)

[@techmaster777]

01trsmar You've already put 75k miles on yours? Damn, I'm at 5,500 within 3 months of owning my charger hellcat

[@fallback8314]

you put 74k on your hellcat in just 2yrs?? that's abuse. cars like that should only be driven on special occasions. and that's gonna hurt your trade in value some. in stead of 45k, i think you'll get 35k

[@Jayhoyt32]

Abuse? They're daily drivers. That was the point from the start...A seriously mean performance car that's also civilized enough for the daily driver. Besides, there's plenty of other guys barely driving theirs to make it ok for other guys to just enjoy theirs as much as possible. And given that he owns 2 of them, I doubt he cares much about losing some of the resale value. I wouldn't either.

[@oarias5158]

Shit my daily driver car only has 40k miles and I got it at the end of 2012. 🤔

[@gerardharings9963]

...way to go....cars are made to enjoy.....so drive...

[@103imartinez]

I preordered it. Can't wait till it arrives!

[@magneto8002]

Got mine already.

[@tremec6]

Prion I’m jealous but not hating. That’s good stuff man.

[@olliehopnoodle4628]

That's awesome. First time a saw a review I thought! I want one!

[@jules791]

Prion we might order one too! What color did you choose?

[@joeg1062]

where toy r us lmao

[@justin8758]

There’s almost no business case for this vehicle which is probably why I like it!

[@k.tcjgcherokee9321]

Family 4x4 with towpackage and all year usability

[@jakey20022]

That's why WE LOVE IT !!! 😁😁😁🤣😂👍

[@InvestBetter.]

Definitely in the conversation for best new vehicles under $100k.

[@CeeStyleDj]

Bitcoin University should be $79,999

[@Ultramanishere1]

My 2007 SRT8 was one of the best cars I've ever bought. I got rid of an E55 AMG to buy it. Then only did Eibach springs and swaybars with a mopar coldair system and drove it for 8 years. It wasn't perfect but still was an awesome car.

[@Beakphoto]

Someone get Greg a proper balaclava for Christmas, please!

[@rafaellastracom6411]

This is it. It is the one to have. Awesome!

[@phillylove39]

Thank is so freaking outstanding!!

[@williamdunne6304]

This SUV is a real beauty

[@maveric0738]

One hell of a machine!!

[@zmoney248]

That thing squats. Very fast., I like.

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

I know now SRT is exclusive to Dodge vehicles only, but I still believe it should have been called a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat.

[@nickkelly4208]

This is the Carter they make an srt Grand Cherokee

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

Nick Kelly not any more. SRT is exclusive to Dodge now starting 2017 onwards.

[@FinalLaugh87]

They make 2018 and 2019 Jeep GC SRTs.

[@thomastheriault3849]

I love mine. Red with black leather interior. Turning Radius is tight. Interior is done in leather and carbon fiber. It does have every conceivable gimmick installed. Rear heated seats anyone?? Keyless entry and auto lift gate are great. I've only been to135 mph with LOTS left to go. Sunroof / moon roof is nice. This is not junk. I will drive it as it's been designed , cautiously fast until I have a good idea on how it behaves. It is a Monster. . Faster than the Porsche 4S I traded in and has room for five with suitcases. The driveline has been throughly beefed up to handle 707 hp. This is a marquee vehicle so I doubt it will have any problems. I drive very little so my carbon footprint is lower than most every commuter. I don't feel bad that mpg is 13 city 15 highway.

[@PJAvenger]

Awesome! Make a RAM crew cab like this and I'm buying!

[@blairbrown4812]

Ram TRX. Best order NOW.

[@Veritas925]

I would like a word with the guy wearing the nomex helmet liner and flannel shirt.

[@suavehouse5150]

Imagine gut the interior then cage it and see what potential this beast will unleash

[@jamesburns2422]

that's some bad ass headgear he has on..

[@immrnoidall]

america's back baby.

[@badboymorales]

This is an all wheel drive HELLCAT

[@calidronelife1572]

Pretty much!

[@ronaldreed7698]

They make awd hellcats

[@SamotLS7]

@@ronaldreed7698 yeah, this

[@airportbumdad]

Easy on the spray tan!

[@Jhihmoac]

IDK... This might have possibilities with me... Almost like having two vehicles in one... A truck/SUV and a sportscar... Doubtful you can light offroad in it, if at all...That's the only negative point about it...Still, it would be great for long cross-country highway trips, and extremely comfortable, too!

[@ronaldreed7698]

Omg I've gotta have one

[@GOINFINITI]

Cayenne is far more refined and everything, but there is just something about this muscle flexing monster...it is THE HULK of SUV world today..love it!

[@jeepthing98]

Could the test driver be any more emotionless and monotone? It's okay to crack a smile driving this monster around a test track, I promise we won't think any less of you.

[@kerbygator]

I would like a Dodge Caravan with a Hellcat engine in it to haul the kids around to school and their soccer games

[@tanneraitken3768]

I swear jeep makes the best fucking cars in America.

[@SC707V8]

American Muscle

[@nelsondavila4070]

[@SC707V8]

Nelson Davila I have a Jeep SRT 2017. SRT division was established way before the merger with Fiat.

[@LexRuger718]

MB ML chassis

[@05EVORS]

Its totally a German based on the Merc ML.. so it is designed to be on road

[@GameOver321]

I have absolutely no need for this, yet i want one soo badly lol

[@jasonneal]

This Jeep gives you the bang for your buck. Shit I had a 2000 Tahoe limited that only put out 280 HP and got the same fuel mileage this Trackhawk gets. I know it’s not a BMW or a Porsche but like he said to get something that performs the same your going to spend pretty much double.

[@shiny0773]

now only if they can put that engine in the RAM and Durango...and a srt6 Chrysler 200s with a twin turbo v6 with 400hp would be nice to...these jeep is awsome tho you can beat a gt350r while having a trunk full of groceries and 2 friends as passengers.707 hp is awsome it can use all that power on the highway when aero and awd take a toll aswell

[@garbage854]

That would be awesome :)

[@kridley73]

SRT Durango With a Hellcat engine would be badass and seat 7!

[@egibson2266]

doesit go100 definitely wouldn't beat a GT350R...

[@c.albrow9161]

E Gibson actually the Jeep Grand Cherokee trackhawk can exceed 180 miles an hour. The Mustang can exceed no more than 175 for the GT350 and gt350r. So with that being said it's certainly can defeat a Mustang GT350

[@shiny0773]

E Gibson I mean from a highway roll you could be right since awd and aero arent great for higher speeds and the high reving more aero body and less loss of powertrain might benefit the mustang but in a quarter mile drag race when traction is everything Or like racing from a red light to another red light the trackhawk will destroy the gt350r mostly everytime .Be an interesting highway race for sure

[@weworks7811]

2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee DEMON !!!

[@wx4newengland]

FCA you are awesome at fast cars. Now make a Chrysler SUV and crossover.

[@brutisking]

Definitely bad ass!!!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Cool, I just posted my review of the Trackhawk on my channel. The MSRP of m press car was $99k but it got the power down better than the Hellcat Widebody I drove right after

[@mattjohnson8090]

Liar

Intro hosted by Mr. Solar!!!

[@jakey20022]

How is this video only at 396k views on June 24 2024 !?!?!

[@sychoticphoenix4248]

Next we need a 707hp srt Durango

[@renntech44]

Type R for the summer, this when the snow flies

[@timw2083]

Challenger SRT Hellcat summer... this anytime. I want it in that red

[@Bargainteers]

Umm no. This for all 12 months

[@ftr911drvr]

Agreed why you pick the slow car for summer lol

[@jrag1000]

lol.

[@dedmonds7935]

Dodge Demon For The Summer Eats That BS! American Style

[@Mark-oh3dp]

So what's the quarter mile time? I don't understand why you wouldn't run the quarter mile and report the time since you're already at the track anyway ESPECIALLY in a 707 HP vehicle.

[@Edward135i]

I love the trackhawk, it's like the CTS-V wagon, just should not exist, buy one now. Because you'll be paying for over sticker one in 10 years.

[@frankburns8871]

The yellow brakes are an eyesore. I can't see that red/yellow combo and not think McDonald's. But holy shit, what an awesome vehicle.

[@JerseyMikeP]

Ferrari, corvette, BMW, porsche all have offered yellow calipers. If you don't get red it looks ok.....or you could just get the calipers painted.

[@dannydaw59]

Those fancy red seats are not standard. They're part of a pricey options package.

[@esco819]

Who cares about the fuel economy? Bitch is clean

[@brandonjones2500]

Wow!!!

[@JpOcDenver]

That driver must've lost a bet.

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

That's faster than the challenger widebody redeye....

[@Kuhladestkyicky]

Next the 707 hp Dart

[@somedude3639]

shouldn't that drive train be in the ram by now?

[@jakey20022]

The RAM is coming in a few years 😁😁

[@hmackprotection1]

It is here now lol

[@bighunter5476]

this is a bad ass machine,, i need a pick up with this engine please to get me to buy a dodge

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Nice vehicle, but what`s up with the Polish do-rag on that driver ??? :-)

[@JerseyMikeP]

That's part of a Fire-suit...but wearing just the face is stupid.....more Italian/russian thing than a polish.

[@wydjaxon]

when I get that money i'm definetly going to but one omg that's just so awsome if I get 172k i'll buy a jeep grand cherokee trackhawk and a dodge challenger hellcat like hey 2 car garage hellcat and a trackhawk amazing

[@Banism24]

wow

[@Mettz97]

I wish that the Dodge Durango had the Hellcat engine than the Jeep, but i am ok with this.

[@S8ER]

This comment aged well 🙂

[@dedmonds7935]

Dodge Demon For The Summer

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

Wow. This thing is incredible. Even at 90-100k, these will sale.

[@sidneysanders5726]

Yall forgot about the 1998 5.9 grand cherokee limited. It's the grandaddy of the trackhawk

[@chasep1461]

13 mpg Wow..

[@neilzilberg3535]

I didn't know Oompa Loompas did car reviews?!

[@AStanton1966]

Work at the chocolate factory doesn't pay that much.

[@juliusjones1154]

I would hypermile this trackhawk and get 40 mpg

[@MrMenefrego1]

*An auto reviewer named, "Carloss"?* 👀

[@schlomoubermann]

Is this OHV engine fuel injected?

[@jakey20022]

Yes

[@BigRedtheGinger]

Damn! This thing has worse MPG than my 97 Grand Cherokee Limited, and that's got a 4 speed auto, 3.73 gears, and a 5.2L V8! I can bribe it to get 16mpg city/highway.

[@timlilley7802]

Jonathan Garneau-Reid Lol, how worse?

[@timlilley7802]

Never mind me, posted in the wrong video lol

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

ILL Take one in White Please

[@jakey20022]

Granite Crystal for me

[@pronderk207]

Why does the driver have a jock strap wrapped around his face😂

[@declansdad]

I can't imagine the MPG if you actually towed a boat or camper. God forbid you towed uphill!

[@medevilmonkey]

It can only tow 7200 hundred pounds?

[@communitycoz6368]

medevilmonkey Frame, bearings, suspension limited to 7200

[@medevilmonkey]

Rebecca Silverman mhm you right thanks its not meant to be a truck

[@BIGWEBB88]

Looking forward to seeing what kind of depreciation hit these take

[@benhartland4708]

cheapest one on ebay that does NOT have any accident record I found for 75k with over 20k miles....it's not doing that bad i expected worse.

[@powerboatguy2308]

Going through the roof in resale value,, one the Hellcat engines are discontinued they will go up even more.

[@ronaldreed7698]

My 2000 dodge ram 4x4 with minor performance mods gets same Hwy mileage

[@jakey20022]

But 400 hp less

[@Stu650Zuk]

They need to put this engine in a RAM already..Whats the hold up? It would make an awesome truck and would be cool to tow my bass boat with to the lake.

[@carstenhansen5757]

Try the moose/elk test.

[@frankthespank]

“Son you got a panty on your head.”

[@macben3266]

That mpg rating will definitely hurt sales.

[@Snapper314]

Amazing vehicle. My only wish is that it was actually Offroad capable, which it is not. And that is kind of sad... for a vehicle wearing a JEEP Badge.

[@JerseyMikeP]

It will work fine on any trail/grass fields. Only in deep mud or rock crawling is where it has no chance. 99% of people only do light off roading anyway. Regular GCs aren't that much better...Only the Rubicon wranglers have any Real off-roading capability. This Trackhawk can hold it's own against any of the high HP competition.

[@mccortezy]

Greg Carlos:😐

[@remzsti]

wow little less mpg than my CTSV like by 1 gal

[@GrayGhostDog1]

I have not seen one... NOT ONE, on the road... smh... I guess people's excitement for it on YT did not match it with our wallets getting pulled out to cop these.

[@immrnoidall]

i can't wait to get one of these in 10 years for 6-7 grand.

[@themisto57]

Nice head sock hahahaha

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

Haven't seen one Yet apparently are very expensive

[@rikleferink]

Trackhawk zonder trekhaak? XD (NL lol)

[@HgH-40]

any video to see moose test and eslalon ????????

[@ianbrown9082]

Voice-over man!......His last job was selling washing powder!

[@mr.highlandpark3137]

The fuel economy of a lawnmower

[@JerseyMikeP]

Better than an Italian Lawnmower (Bugatti veryon, lambo)...and gets about the same as Luxury euro SUv's with 100

[@richardmiller6422]

Notice no 1/4 mile time!!! same thing with the Demon...Why wont anyone post quarter mile numbers???

[@dannydaw59]

11.6 seconds

[@CeeStyleDj]

DaniTheNachoPirate cheaply made? I don't think so. There's a video online of a husband and wife couple repeatedly launching their trackhawk at the drag strip over and over...and over... Constant 11.4s!!

[@poker_18rs92]

It's nice, but 87k is about 12-15k or so more than an SRT Hellcat Charger & the Charger has more swag to it.

[@bruschmidt9943]

I wonder why Chrysler doesn't use the AWD drivetrain in the Chally or Charger Hellcats? Give us an option!?

[@JerseyMikeP]

They have an AWD V6 challenger....with the Hemis there isn't enough room.

[@2forgildan]

Is it me, or does the driver of the Jeep look like he's got a toothache?

[@AStanton1966]

Looks like one of the old-timey Bugs Bunny cartoons when Elmer Fud gets hit on the head.

[@ericdimartino6322]

Belaclava and an open face helmet....really?

[@Loren460]

I'll wait a year and buy this jeep at a dealer for half the price 42grand. And buy an extended warranty cause you'll need it.

[@blazzing4321]

loren L 42 grand eh? Maybe with 100,000 miles.

[@zhenaali1697]

Lol good luck finding one for that price

[@byronmiller3877]

How's that search coming along? Still in your 2004 Honda Civic?

[@ArabianOak]

Can’t even get an srt8 Jeep for that price. Lol. There holding value really well.

[@raymondrocco6251]

Ha ha !! Ford and Chevy boys so occupied with criticising the demon. They don't know that their beloved gt500 and Zl1 might get there asses kicked by a 5000 lb SUV !! I would bet my house this monster jeep will give the camaro and mustang a run for the money !!! So stop wasting energy looking for new theories about why the demon sucks and be more worried about the track hawk on both. Straight line and track !!

[@parttimetourist]

Why not supercharge the 6.4 instead of going down to the 6.2 and why only 2 valves instead of 4 per pot?

[@jakey20022]

The 6.4 is a higher compression engine. The 5.7's can handle more boost . If I was going to build a supercharger V8 . Instead of buying a hellcat V8. I would get an eagle head 5.7 liter and probably put a twin turbo kit on it.

[@patrickmichael3384]

Ridiculous, but cool nevertheless!

[@kenckman1359]

Sucks in the snow.......

[@GLA45Amg716]

I don’t understand why people want cars this fast

[@JerseyMikeP]

Adrenaline junkies...same people that go on roller coasters. Also it would be a status symbol...like all people that buy expensive vehicles.

[@felipefurtado2156]

MPG?
