Just ordered a sting gray trailhawk last night. Can't wait to take delivery.. and I'm hoping this this chip shortage doesnt affect the build time 😒 good looking Jeep though. Gorgeous trail as well 👍
Definitely, just not sure where yet. We are thinking maybe Arizona if we go in the fall, or SW Colorado again if we go this summer. Hopefully, we’ll get it nailed down soon!
We did Top of the World a few years back in a JKUR. There are for sure some places that will challenge the Trail Hawk but as you can from this video, it can be done. We havent been able to get back to Moab for 3 years now and I miss our yearly adventures out west...
We want to go back, but I think Poison Spider is the only other Badge trail we can do. There are a ton of other trails and places we didn’t get to go, though. So much to explore out there!!
@@funkywk2 For sure there is a lot to do. We went 8 yrs in a row in our Jeep. The last time we were in our new JLUR. We did Poison Spider among others. Its got a couple of tough sections. Since then I’ve done a lift and added 37” tires but havent been able to make it back due to family obligations and this crazy Covid stuff....
Don't bet against the Trailhawk Jeeps! It might not be a Wrangler Rubicon but it's still a top of the line Jeep ! Also, keep in mind, yeah you can modify Trailhawk jeeps but typically you won't get much more than a 3 inch lift and a 32/33 tire on them and less tire than that for Compass and Renegade. However, you CAN achieve pretty darn good angles on the Trailhawk jeeps with slight modifications and the Grand Cherokee and Cherokee Trailhawk in particular , when slightly modified can arguably follow stock Rubicons many places as they have both angles AND the power to really climb like crazy. I don't think there's a limit lol... If you have the traction .. it has the power to climb ! That's pretty much how it goes for Cherokee and Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. The compass and Renegade are great , but they need more power. That's the ONLY issue with compass and Renegade. If the hills aren't super super step, you've still met your match even with a compass or Renegade. It's still a Jeep and it will still blow you away.
Nice job! Looks like it was a lot of fun. I’ll be visiting that trail in august. Did it look like there was any places to camp up top? Or if it’s even allowed?
Thanks! It was a ton of fun, plus seeing the different terrain all in close proximity is an experience. There are places you could camp, but I’m not sure if it’s allowed. I don’t see why not as it’s in the Nat’l. park. You would probably need to get the overnight permit vs. the day pass, I suspect.
@@biggsly5000 I don’t know about intended use, but I think Fahd was implying that most don’t actually off road GC’s even though they were built to be terrific wheeling vehicles. How well they hold up will have more to do with how they’re treated vs where you take them, to an extent. We have some pinstripes and some dings, but we knew that would happen when chose this over a JL (knowing it would be going some rough places). Don’t forget, there are some videos out there with the Jeep engineers using Moab as the proving ground for the WK2 Trailhawk, including Top of the World.
I feel like Tom Hanks is about to pop out at any moment and hold the firing line with an American flag in his arms with all this legendary music going on..................... 🤣
What chin protection is that, and is it able to take a winch? It looks like it maintains the radar for factory cruise, but not the parking sensors? I am considering a GCTH as a replacement to my lifted JKUR. The value for dollar can't really be beat by anything else on the market right now. I'm a bit loathe to give up some of my trail capability, but after my last 4500 mile trip I was definitely ready to gain some comfort/driver assistance features and a reduced NVH.
It’s the Offroad Animal front bumper and I have the hidden winch mount behind it. My Smittybilt X20 is behind the License plate. It does accommodate the ACC sensor, and the parking sensors are actually above the bumper. I had to adjust it to keep them from going off from the bumper.
You’re welcome! I chose our Trailhawk over a JL due to the Hemi and overall comfort/features. It is way more capable than most people give it credit for, so I don’t think you’ll regret it unless you spend most of your time rock crawling or doing trails that require 35”+ tires. Let me know if I can help with any other questions! I’m @funkywk2 on IG, as well.
It should have most of the important skids, but I recommend the Chief Trans skid and the Offroad Animal Bash plate. This will get you protected front to back, with the exception of your lower radiator support.
You would probably off road better with the v6 as the vehicle is allot lighter and the power the hemi makes is of no use off roading. I have a 2021 trail hawk V6 metalic green that can go anywhere and it tows my 25 foot toyhauler with 2 quads loaded and camping gear just fine. Amazing vehicle.
Not even close to accurate. The low end torque has gotten me out of places others with v6’s had way more trouble with. I agree the WK2 is an amazing vehicle, but of no use off road? Seriously. Glad you’re happy with your V6.
@@funkywk2 Have you ever heard of a transfer case? jeep wranglers only have V6s except the one with 707 hp. You clearly don't know what the hell your talking about. You nee torque to tow on the street and my V6 tows up to 6200 lbs. Your not to bright.
Sorry new V8 wrangler has 470Hp. So your telling me all these years the wrangler had just the V6 and it wasn't good at off roading because it didn't have a V8? What are you a millennial?
So now you want to get personal… The engine in the Wrangler doesn’t matter as much because you have a lower crawl ratio, better suspension setup with way more flex, larger tires, lower gears, more clearance….need I go on? Try comparing apples to apples next time. Sounds like you’re the one in need of some education. Quit trolling my comments and maybe go put some content on your own channel to show me how awesome you are.
Agreed. It reminds me of that 'sode of "Big Bang Theory" where Raj and Sheldon are "doing physics" to the soundtrack of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger." 😆😆😆 Otherwise, the photography of the rock crawling sequences is pretty damn good.
That looks like an incredibly fun trail. You made it look pretty easy too. Good job.
Thanks! It’s a blast, but this was probably the hardest trail due to the ledges.

Congrats!!! Hopefully you get it soon!!
Thank you!! Me too! Lol. Have any plans to go on any other trails this summer?
Definitely, just not sure where yet. We are thinking maybe Arizona if we go in the fall, or SW Colorado again if we go this summer. Hopefully, we’ll get it nailed down soon!
My 2011 jeep grand Cherokee 5.7 hemi is not a trailhawk, but I have absolute confidence it will take me wherever I need to go!

Special ordered mine in June received it September 9,black with a hemi,traded a 19 jl Moab,no regrets
that front bumper, I want it!! Where did you get it? I have front protection from Chief but I like the look of that gray wk2.
It’s the Offroad Animal Prerunner. I’m about to swap it for their Predator. It’s saved my front end a BUNCH of times!! Thanks!
Just bought one like this about three weeks ago. I love it.
I guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Adriel Derek Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
@Axel Jairo definitely, have been using FlixZone for months myself :)
@Axel Jairo Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it !
@Adriel Derek happy to help :)
Awesome drone footage!
Witch drive mode you use for that climbing?
Auto most of the time, Rock mode (4 low) when I want the extra traction (eLSD is basically locked in Rock mode).

I saw a video of a 1997 Honda civic do this trail. Stock.
That’s awesome! Someone had no love for it! LOL.
Hi buddy,
Cool video. Is your gc jeep with a standard suspension (lifted?) or with the QL air suspension?
Thanks.
We have QL.
Great driving and a wonderful trail, thanks for sharing.
Which tires are you using?
Thank you! Tires are P265/65r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Nice seeing wk2 being used the way it's supposed to be used. It would have been even better video without the music. Peace from Saudi Arabia
Thanks! My camera woman was sniffling b/c it was cold and she didn’t want everyone to hear it 😆 Thank you for the feedback!!
I promise you didn’t want to hear me sniffling the whole time. It was COLD 🥶!
Is that really it’s intended use? How well do they hold up used like this? It is impressive considering the on road manners are reallly good
@@biggsly5000 I don’t know about intended use, but I think Fahd was implying that most don’t actually off road GC’s even though they were built to be terrific wheeling vehicles.

@@funkywk2 that exactly what i meant. Most people don't take thr JGC off road which is shame imo. They are impressive especially with the QD2

Just got a 2020 Hemi trailhawk, any suggestions on under armor for the Jeep? Also, what is that step off your rear frame?
It should have most of the important skids, but I recommend the Chief Trans skid and the Offroad Animal Bash plate. This will get you protected front to back, with the exception of your lower radiator support.
We had a Hooke Road Hitch Skid on the back in Moab.

Are you running an airlinks level kit on the front?
Nope. No links, no spacers.
Music is way overdramatic. But otherwise great video.
Yeah, I overdid it “slightly.” LOL. Our newer vids have the dialog and environmental noise. Thanks for the feedback!
Agreed. It reminds me of that 'sode of "Big Bang Theory" where Raj and Sheldon are "doing physics" to the soundtrack of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger." 😆😆😆

😱
Do you have the v6 or v8?
V8
Tires? 265 / 65 ??
Correct, Tires were P265/65r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers in this video.
@@gspfunk I just need to decide which brand for my GCTH. TY! Great vid.
