I own the 2022 grand cherokee limited. It's probably a 150lbs-200lbs lighter than the trailhawk, but I find the 3.6/transmission combo to be a Rockstar. Yes, on paper the 3.6 sucks, but it doesn't feel underpowered in the slightest. It's a perfect match between power and efficiency. Cruising around at 55mph-60mph I get 30 mpg all day.

[@mattbrown942]

The rav 4 is a top seller and it’s a bigger car with a similar engine. Pretty much have to just deal with it. All these suvs have similar or less power than a compass so why would jeep have to put a new engine in the compass?

[@digitaldoc100]

@@Natethegreat200c The RAV4 has "Toyota Reliability" on its side, somewhat real, and more so perceived." The RAV4 also has over 200 HP with the base 2.5NA, and both hybrid powertrains have more, and around 300 HP for the Prime. No, we don't have to put up with it, we can buy something else. The Compass is underpowered even by the segment's standards. The new Rogue has a 3 cyl turbo with over 200 HP. The CX5 and CX30 base engine has 187 HP with the option for a turbo with 225-250 HP. The CRV has 190 HP with the 1.5T. The Compass' powertrain is the 2.4NA with only 180 HP making it among the weakest in the segment. For those that are in love with the "Jeepness," then by all means, go ahead. On the other hand, I can see why my local dealership has only 6 Cherokee's in stock, and over 100 Compass'. IMHO, Jeep can do better, and if not, then vote with your dollars elsewhere.

So you're comparing a 4Runner to the Grand Cherokee and I understand they're both turo vehicles but I really don't understand why you would want to compare a body-on-frame to and unibody construction vehicle the ride is going to be different than Breaking going to be different to feel is going to be completely different. Now they're really not the same the comparison is a lot better with the Wrangler 4-door to the 4Runner

[@mariappansubbiah3314]

Awesome King of Jeep Wow amazing

[@BCCHSMD]

This is a vast upgrade from the last gen. But $65000 is crazy. If this were to switch spots with the Altitude in the trim hierarchy I think it would be a better buy. At $65000 I think this should at least have the 5.7 V8. There are some that will take it offroad but that's probably a small quantity. Not too many people want to potentially damage a $65000 vehicle offroad. At $65000 this is in the realm of a Lexus RX, Acura MDX, Genesis GV80, and some lightly optioned European Vehicles. This trim topping out around $58000 I think would make more sense but I know Jeep faithful don't care. But this trim would persuade me to move up the trim ladder. If you're able to afford a $65000 one you can probably afford a $70000 to $75000 one.

I'm really surprised that for this being a trailhawk that they would even offer the 3.6 because those engines like you have clearly demonstrated do not take off very well at all and on top of that have a lot of issues which is why they're going to be facing this engine out for the new hurricane engine that's an inline 6 which makes way more power and actually gets the same or better fuel economy than this engine. Hopefully that new engine will be in next year's because this 3.6 has got to go!!!!!

[@mattbrown942]

[@kellyoubrejr544]

​@@LTJohn Who's knows if that will be reliable? I know when they start putting them on the roads, the engines will have problems which is normal... But my point is that it may not be reliable, it's boosted which puts stress on the engine. It's gonna drag around I'm gonna imagine around the same weight as this if not heavier. Yes it will have more power and torque but it's still boosted and that adds more stress to the engine. The Pentastar is a good and robust engine. Mom has a 3.6 in her Charger GT and it hasn't gave her any issues and trust me she's beat on it pretty hard, also has 145k on it, may not seem like a lot but it's only 2 years old. The earlier 3.6s had issues because they were new engines at the time.

[@stevedyer7566]

Please do your research. That engine is recognized as one of the best and reliable V6 engines out there. The reason the company are moving toward different engines is because fuel economy. Facts are not based on how you feel or what you heard. Facts matter. Read what the experts says about the pentastar engine. Crack cylinder heads?

4Runner drives like a truck. Hard to beat off road but you sacrifice on road. Sluggish brake feel, steering is super numb, just truck like. GC drives much more athletic but I don’t think it could quite hang with the 4Runner off road, it’s good off road though

Though the 4Runner is not as refined or as modern as the Jeep Trailhawk, it at least ha e a clear purpose, which is being a genuine 4WD vehicle. The Trailhalk is a bit of a disappointment to me for having too much luxury appointments & not enough focus on 4WD or trail capabilities. It suffers from a split personality. Considering Jeep has several models to choose from, they should've made this a more trail-focussed SUV. If not the 4Runner, I'll be looking elsewhere to spend my money.

[@payoneer88]

I think that the Pentastar engine has been overrated, considering how much low gas mileage and power you can get out of it. An Audi Q5 with 2.0 turbo engine makes almost the same power. Jeep needs to get an engine with power and torque that gets better gas mileage. The Trailhawk is a very good all-rounder, though. I wish Ford made a 4x4 capable compact SUV in this category that looks like a Sport Overlander.
