  • Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 2018 TestDriveNow Video Review By Auto Critic Steve Hammes.
    There’s not an in-house tuner as absurdly crazy as Fiat-Chrysler’s SRT division. Just think about what they’ve been doing lately, with products like Hellcat and Demon the names speak for themselves which leads me to this next SRT creation; a Jeep you don’t want to take off-road, the 707hp Trackhawk.
    MSRP as-tested: $99,965.

    Forgive my misspeak: 1/4 mile in 11.6 sec with a TOP SPEED of 180 mph.

      That's alright, Steve. A Jeep with a Hellcat V8 will get you jacked up.

      You say that I would leave a Corvette owner in the dust the Corvette 0 to 60 2.9 seconds in an automatic With a quarter-mile time of 10.95 at 127 mph and the manual does it an 11.2 not quite as fast but close

      You're right. Wouldn't be like leaving behind a Fiesta or something. Just trying to draw up a comparison.

      @@Holcomb837 but the corvette doesnt have the grip that the jeep has...so while 0-60 is faster on corvette, the tires are smoking which means the jeep launches ahead because of the AWD...which means steve hammes is right in his comparison

  • @76carmel
    @76carmel 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know the Trackhawk is nearly $100k. But like you said, this Jeep undercuts price wise via its competition - Porsche Cayenne Turbo (the top V8 or they’ll come up something awesome) an Mercedes AMG GLE with the insane V8 and BMW X5M.

    180 mph at quarter mile doesn't seem correct. Chrysler continues to be the least reliable among the three American carmakers.

      I would like in metallic gray and inside in dark brown and rings in blacks, or in black and interior in tan and black rings, I have an F 150 5.4 L 4x4 of 1997, it was damaged of the transmission since the changes do not apply when it accelerates does not want to keep throwing them and because I do not have money I can not fix it!

      @knoxherrington299 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I know it’s a year later, but yes they are great. They feel soft and crappy at first, but then you find out quickly that they stop the heavy vehicle extremely well. I wasn’t expecting ceramic brake feel, but wish it had better feel than it does. The Germans and Jags have way better feel for their models at the same price point.

    @marcusaverysmith 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Steve, you reviewed the 2014 SRT Jeep. 100k is a lot to spend on any car/truck. Is there a huge gap in performance and value when you compare the trackhawk to the 2014 SRT Jeep. A 2014 pre-owned SRT Jeep can be acquired for 38k with decent mileage. What are your thoughts?

      I'm in the same boat, just test drove a 2016 SRT and it was extremely fast off the line and almost identical interior. If you have the money the blown 6.4 has got to be top of the list

    Hello ..
    Thanks great review ..
    Just one question what about the stability of the car ?? Is it stable in the high speed and in the turns ?
    I owned jeep Srt8 2009 it is the worst car ever i used ( not stable in road ever )
    Hope to hear from you.

  • @Andrew8126
    @Andrew8126 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you just talked about this car every week, that would be cool. If it had three rows, and you could fake the MPG readout to fool your wife, I'd be tempted to the point of existential crisis. I need to seriously explore--with a professional--why I so badly want this next to my Kia Soul EV in the driveway.
    Thanks for a fun review of a simply insane vehicle!

    The Jeep SRT is about $1000 a month.
    This just isn't worth $1500 a month.
    That's S-class money.
