Review: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk - we pity the fool that don’t drive one

as declared in Baracus would drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk is similar to the standard Grand Cherokee models in its size and layout. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk isn't a sports car made for cornering, but it's far better on the track than might be expected. What's best about the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is its extremely entertaining power surge, supercharger wine, and pipe rumble. The over-the-top nature of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is its greatest selling point.

Why The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Is A Truly Extraordinary SUV

The new-for-2018 Trackhawk version of the popular Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV packs the 6.2-liter 707-horsepower supercharged V8 engine that otherwise resides under the hoods of the Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models and, along with suspension and other performance-minded enhancements, imbues the popular people mover with abilities that leaves mere mortal SUVs in its dust. We were fortunate to put a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk on loan from the automaker through its paces over a week's testing and found it to be the most extraordinary vehicle we've driven this year. As with the Hellcat models, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk allows drivers to tune in a more or less aggressive attitude via separate driving modes that include selections for driving in snow and for towing, along with an encoded "valet" selection. Fortunately, for all its Superman-like abilities, the Trackhawk easily settles down and becomes Clark Kent when driven passively in polite traffic. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the rare high-performance vehicle that can serve as a daily driver – and one that can tow a fairly sizable trailer, no less – without much in the way of compromise, so it's like owning two disparate types of vehicles in one.

Chevy brings back the Blazer, aims for Jeep Grand Cherokee

as mentioned in The new Blazer, to be made at GM's Ramos Arizpe factory in Mexico, is far from a box. Chevy hopes to take a chunk out of Grand Cherokee sales, one of the more popular and profitable vehicles in the Jeep lineup, in the growing midsize SUV segment. The Blazer also could get caught up in a potential trade war, with President Donald Trump threatening tariffs on imported vehicles. The Blazer, due in showrooms early next year, comes as American buyers continue their shift from cars to trucks and SUVs. This year trucks and SUVs accounted for about two-thirds U.S. new-vehicle sales, with cars making up the rest.
