Just bought a 2020 TH EXACTLY like yours, 40K MILES, is an absolute blast to drive! Just used it last week to rescue my son who was stranded at work in a snow storm, didn't slip once or lose traction at all while other cars and trucks were in the ditch/median.

[@tradbowpodcast]

Such a great vehicle! Congratulations!

Just wanted to let you know that this video is SUPER informative for someone that doesn't know much about cars. I have been thinking about getting the Trail Hawk. You have another believer!! Thank you!!

[@tradbowpodcast]

Glad ypu enjoyed it. Was such a fantastic suv and a Billy goat in the woods. So capable, so comfortable and pretty dang perfect

[@LeonardoTrasente-zj4lf]

I bought my 2021 Cherokee Trailhawk four months ago and as repetitive as it sounds I absolutely love it! I had a 97’ 4.0L I gave to my mother-in-law and went with full size luxury SUV’s. Two Avalanche’s, a Tahoe and an Expedition EL + several Lincolns! I finally came to my senses and bought another Jeep! We have a camp on Wolfe Island on the St. Lawrence river and I can’t wait till we go up and try her out off-road! Your video is going to make it 100 times better! Very informative! God bless you!

Man, thank you for this video. Just bought the 2021 Cherokee Trail Hawk today. Glad I found this video. I went in thinking I wanted Rubicon. Drove my buddies Rubicon a couple of times, but on the highway doing 80 mph it was rough. I test drove this just to see. Got it on the highway at 80 mph and loved it. Have not taken it off road (as I just bought it), but heading to an out of the way shooting range (that would beat up my Compass that I traded in) tomorrow to test her out. Thanks again for the video...really made me happier with the choice I made.

[@tradbowpodcast]

You will love it. I think it is super comfortable, very affordable, had great on road manors, great mpg, lots of space for its size and the only 2 suvs thst can compare to it off road is the 4runner and wrangler. And neither of those have all of the other things I mentioned. If I were buying another vehicle today it would be this again 100%

At the end of tbe lease, the buyout price was $19,300: making this to me the last of the amazing lease deals. Montana doesn’t have sales tax - so that helps too. This SUV is a Swiss Army Knife.

[@gerhardschemel3565]

Design design I don’t think they had planned on having so many great features, components and capabilities. Like built by selecting the area/section and attaching them to a outline/core/structure. So many great things but wow some real “really now”s / misses / forgotten / wtf why nots. Like a light under the hood? Even a manually operated light. Or have a 12v outlet so you could plug in something. Hopefully it won’t be much longer since it has been a while now, they had the brilliant idea to put one in the hatchback area. Another almost really great feature is the down light on the side view mirrors. Not sure yet if I like how much of the door is lit up. I know I like better it the bright white LED’s running the bottom length of each door. Black hole 2 is the center storage/arm rest. Again just a switch operation light A nice try with the scooped out area for device charge/connect cords. Better method is having them come out the front with a sliding keeper so you don’t have to mess with it each time you open it. Speaking of 12 v outlet in rear hatch. Yes there is one and you can change it from key on or always on. There is a second light in the hatch area. Unfortunately it is also placed very low to the deck which means BAD DESIGN that felt good to say. It means lights are easily blocked. A middle dome light sure would be nice. Or two of the almost worth it button lights for back seat. Yes it is nice to have separately controlled lights but while they are cute they are not able to produce enough light 2019 Cherokee TH E 49,700 miles fully loaded inside built for the car shows to promote the new blue color. I have added over 40 switches plus 8 RF controlled switches several dozen LED’s couple dozen feet of EL Wire outside a 52 “ curved light bar dual forward facing pin spots with high low or strobe 22” bumper mounted light bar one flood-spot and one line spot each side twin focused flood lights rear facing. And 8 horns plus some interior features I invented auto adjusting between seat and center console gap sealer and seat covers with device pocket with wireless charging and cup holders / pockets just outside of where your knees would be.

Awesome! You will love it. For the 32s I believe you have to do the pinch weld mod by cutting the pich weld extra material from behind the wheel well plastic. Mine is a 1.5 lift with 265x65x17 or 30.6. The 32s that fit with the pinch weld mod and 2 inch lift are the 265x70x17 or 31.6

Traded in my 2WD Grand Cherokee when we moved up to 6700' in So Cal so I could handle all sorts of conditions - from hilly dirt roads to heavy snow. I've heard complaints about its "dated" styling and such. Fine. Jeep will change it soon enough. Personally I think the Bronco Sport is a bit too trendy. Whatever.

Nice review of the Cherokee. Padded moving blankets from Harbor Freight or other stores work great instead of blankets in the back.

That is jeeps factory hitch they put on the jeep trailhawk from the factory. But I installed it myself. Cost me 500 bucks total to buy the hitch and wiring harness from Mopar. The install took about 3 hours as you have to take off the whole back clip and quarter panels. But was very worth doing. I no longer own this vehicle and did not make a video when I did it. But there are videos on KZbin that show how to do it I think.

The cherokee was bigger, has a real low range and rear lockers. More ground clearance, more room inside, and better approach angles. The bigger v6 motor gives more power for towing and I needed something that can tow my 3000 pound pressure washing trailer and my hunting trailer. Loved the renegade! But needed something that could do more. That renegade is the steal of the century though for a fantastic 4x4 vehicle that does everything really good (except towing). I bought my renegade new drove it for 17 months put 30000 miles on it and sold it for 2300 more than I paid new! Would by a renegade again in a heart beat if it fit what I needed.

Great video. I purchased a 2022 Jeep Trail Hawk and my wife wants to drive nothing else since the check was presented to the dealer. She drove it home. I had a 2008 Jeep Wrangler 2 door Sport model I traded in on it. . I had the flat towing rig on it from Blue OX so I could pull it behind my RV as I travel. I loved the short wheel base. It was time to trade the Wrangler so with some research I found I could also flat tow the Trailhawk model. That ability to be flat towed sold me and I also knew it was somewhat an off road vehicle. I did not realize how capable it was off-road and yet still a family car. I just love it. It checks all the boxes on what we need. I will never use my Cherokee off the road as much as you do but I do need the ability to travel on paths that a standard vehicle will not handle. It is a good pick and yes it does travel off-road better than my 2002 Ford 150 with 4 wheel drive.

Awesome video. I have 2016 Trailhawk and want to lift it. I keep seeing everyone from the Rough Country 2” to MFC to hazard sky…what lift do you have? Is it a lift & level with the back still higher, keeping the factory rake, or does the front lift up level with the rear now. I don’t want the front sag at all. Did you by chance take measurements of before/after of the wheel well clearance? Also saw you are running 265/70R17…any issues with rubbing? Did you have to do the pinch weld mod, any grinding or cutting? Lastly, how is your fuel economy now? Sorry for all the questions but most people only ask 1 or 2, I’m sure others are watching wanting to know: What lift & how tall What tires Any cutting/trimming or rubbing issues What MPG now Any reason you wouldn’t do it again…THANKS!!

[@tradbowpodcast]

Hazard sky 1.5 front and 1.5 rear. Falken wild peak 265/70/17 No trimming or rubbing but very close when articulated, but no rubbing. Don't know what mpg was before as I did the lift and tires right after I bought it. But I get 21-22 on highway currently. Very happy and would do it exactly the same if I was doing it again. I did do before and after measuring when I installed it. It was 1.75 added in the front and 1.5 added in the rear. Did not measure wheel clearance. With these tires is tight! Still no rubbing or trimming. But it's very tight in there with thw wheels turned a quarter way

I’m looking at 2022 jeep Cherokee trailhawk or Rav4 xse or trd model 2022 I don’t know what one to choose I love the gas savings for the Toyota rav4 but I’m afraid it can’t go off road nothing crazy. Also wanted to do some car camping, and tent camping. After you lifted your jeep, did you notice a decrease of gas.

[@tradbowpodcast]

all great vehicles! I did not drive the trailhawk stock more than the ride home from the dealership. so I dont know what stock mpg was. but it was still amazing with the lift and bigger tires. 25-27 mpg on highway.

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I fully intend to get one. I was hoping to convince my wife into getting one since we were downsizing both our vehicles into 1, but we ended up with a Mazda CX-5...the misses "needs" a vehicle that is "easier" to drive. But there is still hope. Since I am without a vehicle know, I will be driving my mom's Wrangler Sahara Unlimited as my daily to and from work. I am trying to convince her to trade up for something more practical on gas, and the Cherokee Trailhawk is still on my list as it will handle our Canadian snow without issues, lower gas usage (around 11-12L/100km on paper vs the 15L/100km on the Wrangler based on our real use), and it should be big enough to transport 5 (3 adults and 2 kids currently under 10) for the occasional outing.

[@tradbowpodcast]

Yep the cherokee trailhawk would be perfect. And if you get it will love it

[@rickbelieves7652]

I own a Cherokee and like it a lot, but I would never say it has a lot of room or the bottom of the seats are very comfy. I am 6 ft tall and 230 lbs. It is fun to drive and handles and rides great and is nice in most other aspects.

I don't have the TH but my 2018 Latitude Plus is very comfortable to ride in. With the factory tow pkg I can tow 4500 lbs and have never had trouble.

I’d like to see what kind of ideas you had for my every day driver 2015 AWD Toyota Sienna. I have a 20 month old and want to do a conversion for camping that I can remove and store in the garage. Portable solar perhaps. I just got the AMAZING Gazelle pop-up tent (very yurt like and able to stand inside) ... and a new soft top cargo roof bag.

I had another question. I’ve never driven with all terrain tires and AWD. I notice a slight tug on the wheels when turning. Is that normal?

[@tradbowpodcast]

@quentinwade5531 yes. But you should not be using 4 wheel drive on dry pavement. When off road the tires can break free and slip easier and don't cause stress on the 4 wheel drive system. Dry pavement has too much grip.

I did the lift myself. Was very easy. Then go get tire alignment and all good to go. The tire size is shown in this video or in my falken tire review. I sold this last year so can't go look at tire size.

[@brandongopoop4997]

Not sure about long term reliability, but these are in a class by themselves as far as transverse engine suv.. Low range ..Noone else does that ..and rear locker ..its very capable have seen them out wheeling in Florida ..its a legitimate jeep .

[@tradbowpodcast]

Yep they sure are excellent. I honestly think long-term reliability is the same for every vehicle on the road. look at my tacoma. many believe its the most reliable truck made and yet consumers reports only have it a 2 out of 5 in reliability. some say jeeps are not reliable yet I know many with close to 200k miles on them with zero issues. they all average out the same in my opinion.

all vehicles today are or are not reliable. i think they all rank the same. the ram 3500 is the worse reliable truck on consumer reports yet 9 out of 10 hot shot truckers love ram 3500 for its reliability. toyota is rated #1 in reliability yet has frames that rust out fast and other issues. Ford quality has dropped by half in last 3 years. jeep reliability has gone up from what I hear. Point being I dont think any vehicle today is better reliability that another. I would buy another cherokee trailhawk in a heart beat! loved it and do miss it. was and is an amazing vehicle.
