The Trackhawk is a monster. With light mods and some tuning, you'll get 800whp out of it. Under 10k in upgrades will bump it into the 900 to 1000hp range easily. You will see these blitzing dragstrips unlike the other SUVs in this price range.
I figured they'd eventually Jam the Hellcat engine into a Jeep. If Plymouth was still around do you think they would have taken that engine and brought back the Barracuda?
Flame Beats and the Dart GT... Smh, should have made an updated SRT 4 Tigershark. Rumors had speculated what the new civic R is currently putting to the ground in terms of power. I would have liked to see a factory 320 hp dart before they killed the line.
venomous2die4 there is actually a 3rd gen neon that's being sold down in Mexico, with a rumor of bringing it here sometime next year, perhaps we could get a SRT4 version of that, or heck the GT that was supposed to go on the dart but canned due to poor sales. Thing was supposed to be an evo competitor
Justin Noker yeah, I know. I would have shelled out some dough for the Dart srt4. Or it would have been pretty sweet if they developed a small v6 supercharged srt6. The crossfire srt was really underrated but quite capable at the track.
I know Roman likes the Chrysler 300. Hope the SRT guys send off this model's 300 with a bang. HELLCAT 300 anyone. Since we don't get the SRT version anymore.
guy proulx kinda pointless comparing those cars anyway they are both SUVs but built for totally different purposes put the jeep up against the 4Runner in its natural habitat and it will own the 4Runner and vice Vera's either way there both great cars oh and a wrangler would own a 4Runner off-road
I would put money on this being the fastest 0-60 of any production road vehicle in history while towing 7000 pounds. TFL, please give us that data point when you get one for your own testing.
My SRT has all of those options and stickered for ~75. Spin it however you want, you're paying 25k for a supercharger and beefed up internals (not that I wouldn't pay it if I had that kind of money).
Albert S. Seriously? That was one of the biggest exaggerations I've heard in my life? American cars take a huge hit in depreciation, with the exception of Corvette and Jeep Wrangler. Mercedes hold their value quite well.
Joe Kline That's a bunch of BS. People know that Mercedes Benz are over engineered piles of junk that break down often...so no ones gonna pay much for them. Unless it's a classic Mercedes convertible from the 70s, the modern ones are worth nothing. Go look on Craigslist or a used car lot and find out for yourself before making false statements...
Lol hellcat pacifica dude that's funny. But there is a srt Durango coming soon. But I bet someone on RUclips done got there mom's dodge mini van and sprinkled some fast and furious on it
So @ 1:57 says it all............the way it just blasted away with no drama just astonishing acceleration means this is a beast!! For people talking about it being a Jeep so therefore not worth the price. They don't know anything about the construction f the Jeep other than the name. All you have to do is place the Jeep next to the the ML class Mercedes and look under at the chassis. It is the same product. That is why the Jeep is such a quality product. The interiors are really gorgeous and much better than Jeeps in the past. and quality is also much better. Resale is going to be a problem. If this were a Toyota product it would hold its value for a long time. The 4 Runner is a vehicle with close to zero problems and hold its value over many years. The Jeep gets a bad rap because the name plate doesn't have the same prestige but the resale issue will be a huge problem.
In Canada, they start at 106k that not including the special tax we got in Quebec for cars over 30k so let's say 5k 110k before taxes then add Federal and provincial taxes 5% and Quebec which is 9.9% tax comes out to 121873.50$ lol for the base model then add more % for financing for 8 years.... and now gas prices are higher basically not your average buyer can afford it. They should have called it a Demon lol.
Still less expensive and more powerful then any SUV from Germany. I don't like those wheel design or the yellow calipers color choice. Also wth is a trackhawk it should be a hellcat badge on this truck.
Honestly had debated getting one but my wk2 srt still makes me happy, and for that price point I could just go single turbo from admotorsportz and run 10's. I like like the new interior though, minus the carbon trim (as mine came off after 20k miles). For those saying reliability sucks I'm not sure about the 6.2 but my 6.4 has almost 80k on it, most of which are towing actually, and the only issue I had was my rack and pinion begin to leak. Just going with a mk7 golf R instead with apr stg3 and will hit 10's with 30mpg and then I can still tow it with my srt and get 8mpg on premium haha.
I am not sure why people is saying that this keep will cost nothing an a few years or the quality is not that good. Let me tell you something when you buy a brand new car .the car comes with 3 years bumper to bumper warranty from factory. Plus you can extend it. For 7 more years or 100,000 miles .and this jeep is not your typical grand Cherokee.
they missed it on the price point but they may not have had a choice. They should have shifted the SRT8 lower and then pinned this at 92k. Hopefully this one has less issues than the SRT8 #fingerscrossed
Fiat has Mercedes G wagon right in it's cross hairs. When the Wagoneer comes out, I hope they don't "D" Fit up. The Wagoneer is supposed to have the Escalade in it's cross hairs.
$80K+ for a Jeep?! It could be laced with gold and I (or anyone who hasn't had a lobotomy) would not buy it. But seriously, it's a Jeep - a Chrysler product. These things are known for not being reliable or assembled well (when compared to the competition). As for its 707hp - that doesn't do much good in any of the top 25 largest cities in the country.
Also i would mention, while Alfa's in Europe are known to be unreliable, they are less expensive to fix than a BMW. a couple of Repairs on a BMW would equal 10 repairs on a Alfa.
Man that performance in that gorgeous interior has the Euro luxo rides beat. I’ll take that interior any day over MB or Range Rover. It’s down right opulent. God bless the USA for making a world class SUV. The Escalades are the same price with less performance and the Escalade is plastic interior city. It’s a friggen bargain how ever you slice it.
I don't know why FCA thinks they can change BMW X5 M money for Jeep product. Except for Jeep fanboys, people cross-shopping a 100k super fast SUV aren't going to shop Jeep over an AMG or M product. It reminds me of the Phateon, not a bad car but people wouldn't pay $80k for a VW. In the same respect, I don't see many paying $100k for Jeep, especially a Jeep based on a model that costs 1/2 as much in a lower trim.
I'm wondering why FCA didn't do a little bit of redesign and badge it as a Dodge. This SUV just goes against everything that Jeep is supposed to stand for.
99K? That's nothing compared to the ridiculous prices in Holland (due to tax-regulations). Overhere the starting price of the Laredo is 83K EURO (thats $97K), the SRT starting price is 174K EURO ($205K)... See: carconfigurator.jeep.com/nl_NL/grand-cherokee/#/version
The only thing here that makes since is buying a last gen srt8 jeep and supercharge it your self by time your done tuning your only at 38-40k save that 60k for a nice f250 to tow it with lol
And meanwhile I can't get an ORC module for my Grand Cherokee because Fiat Chrysler says they're "not available at this time." So, none of my airbags work. I will never buy another Jeep.
When is dodge going to do something with the RAM? At least give us the options to get the regular cab 1500 with the 6.4 HEMI. You guys have forgotten about truck guys??
I don't get where all the dodge and jeep hate comes from? My durango and charger have been the most reliable cars I've owned! All my neighbors have luxury cars and they stay at the dealer!
illumination357 Because they are, statistically, the lowest in terms of quality and reliability. As a Ford guy, I happen to like a lot of Chryler products but the difference in quality is noticeable.
illumination357 I think it's a badass suv but reliability to me is horrible. I've had 3 Jeep Wranglers my sister has the Cherokee Trailhawk my brother-in-law has a ram 1500 and we've had nothing but problems. they've been in the shop more than anything. my sister's Trailhawk is a 2016 it's already had the transmission replaced once and it was also shutting off randomly driving down the road they replaced some electronic crap to fix it. my brother-in-law's 2014 Ram 1500 has had the rear end replaced the AC pump replaced and it's already starting to rust and he puts only nine thousand miles a year on it because he has a company fire work truck to drive everyday, and both vehicles are garage kept and they're always cleaned and maintained well. my last Jeep Wrangler 2013 too many engine issues
Boo Ya Again. I own 2 dodge vehicles and never had a problem! I've owned Vw's, hondas, Toyota's, chevys and every one left me on the side of the road! The Chevy cut off on the highway due to the ignition switch that gm recalled! So I don't care or believe what the haters say dodge makes good REALIABLE cars!
Why!? Becauss this is the most badass grand cherokee ever!
ron s Amen
The Trackhawk is a monster. With light mods and some tuning, you'll get 800whp out of it. Under 10k in upgrades will bump it into the 900 to 1000hp range easily. You will see these blitzing dragstrips unlike the other SUVs in this price range.
Epic line, "you can use this vehicle to tow this vehicle to the track then use this vehicle to beat this vehicle on the track". Such monstrosity!!
That jeep interior looks better than most luxury SUV's.
I like how people talk about it depreciating yet there's Range Rovers…
guy proulx I like them but I'd like something more performance oriented they aren't in the same class
Now THIS sounds better!
When you have a family but muscle is life
Nathan was thrown hard into the seat... That means it's an INSANE SUV!
I want the previous gen Jeep SRT with this engine... heaven.
At least you get more real use with the jeep than any of the other coupes.
13 MPG, that's not bad at all for a big SUV with 707 HP
This Jeep has the performance to leave the Cayenne turbo S and other more expensive SUV's in the dust . I would buy it
*Sees price*
Jeep, you've lost your damn mind.
*Sees acceleration*
JEEP! YOU'VE LOST YOUR DAMN MIND!!!!
When you hear a grown man giggle like a school girl, you know this car is fun.
I figured they'd eventually Jam the Hellcat engine into a Jeep. If Plymouth was still around do you think they would have taken that engine and brought back the Barracuda?
Flame Beats and the Dart GT... Smh, should have made an updated SRT 4 Tigershark. Rumors had speculated what the new civic R is currently putting to the ground in terms of power. I would have liked to see a factory 320 hp dart before they killed the line.

THere is No COmpact Sedan planned for FCA North America.
M W S - Maybe, considering that if Plymouth were still around today, and they had a Barracuda, it would probably be a rebadged Challenger.
I know Roman likes the Chrysler 300. Hope the SRT guys send off this model's 300 with a bang. HELLCAT 300 anyone. Since we don't get the SRT version anymore.
Now that is one sick looking jeep right there!. I'll take that over any 4Runner any day.
guy proulx I know plenty of people with Toyota pickups that never made it out. They had to use an old 2wd Ranger to help get them out. Lol
guy proulx kinda pointless comparing those cars anyway they are both SUVs but built for totally different purposes put the jeep up against the 4Runner in its natural habitat and it will own the 4Runner and vice Vera's either way there both great cars oh and a wrangler would own a 4Runner off-road
V8 Guy I like your car. 👍
guy proulx mall crawling? You've lost your mind. Body on frame is worse than unibody SUVs nowadays.
+Dakota Jaegle not for off-roading it isn't that's why the wrangler is body on frame its a lot stronger than unibody
Lol: 4:37
"You can potentially tow a vehicle to the track, and then use this vehicle to actually beat that vehicle, on the track."
Roman's reaction to the 0-60 is awesome!
that exhaust note between shifts sounds crazy like a DSG GTI nice job
I'd buy this over an x6 or cayenne every day
Crazy but its your money to waste
SRT Jeeps hold they Value, X6 and Cayenne's dont. Thank Sub Prime Leases.
id buy a cayenne over the jeep all day long
Tomaz Hilton ummm no SRT jeep holds their value. Where did you get that garbage from?
John Glad to see your not a liberal who thinks everything else is better just because it comes from somwares else.
They should've named it the HellHawk
Although I once was bold enough to say I didn't think the Miata was a great match for Roman...this certainly seems to be:) nice to see the wide grin
“2:06” I was on the fence to buying one but the laugh at 2:06 sold me!!!! 🤗🤗
Will this beat the dodge Durango SRT in a ¼ mile ?
I would put money on this being the fastest 0-60 of any production road vehicle in history while towing 7000 pounds. TFL, please give us that data point when you get one for your own testing.
Track hawk is the demon killer .
My SRT has all of those options and stickered for ~75. Spin it however you want, you're paying 25k for a supercharger and beefed up internals (not that I wouldn't pay it if I had that kind of money).
THIS IS ONE BADASS JEEP!!!!!!!!!
I see a Jeep Demon in the Future 808 HP and some Guy got 3.3 Seconds on his 0-60 Mph in his Trackhawk Damn The Launch is Brutal in this Monster
THAT COLOR and RIM option was at the NYIAS. As far as I know, it's custom and not orderable.
We loved having you at the track but you said the track is in Maine. Club Motorsports is actually in Tamworth, NH
+Jason Brackett Hi Jason, sorry Roman misspoke. We wrote the correct location at the start of the video.
The Fast Lane Car thank you!
Won't be long before we start seeing bolt on low 10 sec passes from these monsters .
$100 K - 40K in discounts - 30K in depreciation of 2 years = $30,000 used price. Gotta love that FCA resale.
Albert S. Seriously? That was one of the biggest exaggerations I've heard in my life? American cars take a huge hit in depreciation, with the exception of Corvette and Jeep Wrangler. Mercedes hold their value quite well.
not with this one in 4 years maybe 50 60k
Joe Kline
That made 0 sense. European
Luxury cars dont resale higher
30k used? Go try and find a used "newer" srt8 for that
Joe Kline That's a bunch of BS. People know that Mercedes Benz are over engineered piles of junk that break down often...so no ones gonna pay much for them. Unless it's a classic Mercedes convertible from the 70s, the modern ones are worth nothing. Go look on Craigslist or a used car lot and find out for yourself before making false statements...
this thing is stupid, pointless, wasteful fun, and I hopelessly love it!
Romans reaction was priceless 😂
Joshua Jeremy 😂😂
can this be the fastest and most powerful production SUV?
buy it for $100K and years later dealer will buy back for $30K lol
Daniel Kim 😂
Daniel Kim True
Daniel Kim That's 30k only if you have low mileage lol
Congrats you win the stupidest comment award
upload2014 low mileage + no scratches + no accidents 😂
Where's the HELLCAT Pacifica?
Ram HELLCAT? Just a thought. Durango SRT please.
J Kav Hellcat Pacifica!! 😂 you sir, made my day lol
J Kav j heard a rumor about a ram hellcat 😂
Lol hellcat pacifica dude that's funny. But there is a srt Durango coming soon. But I bet someone on RUclips done got there mom's dodge mini van and sprinkled some fast and furious on it
Hellcat PT Cruiser Convertible!
Ryan Cameron
Glad to do so. Something other than Trump today 😂
Doesn't the absolute joy on your face while driving it count as a driving impression, haha
Best SUV ever, even with this price. Nice video.
What is hanging down on each side in the front?
Those small tabs are for underbody aerodynamics, one in front of each front tire redirects airflow - according to Jeep.
So @ 1:57 says it all............the way it just blasted away with no drama just astonishing acceleration means this is a beast!! For people talking about it being a Jeep so therefore not worth the price. They don't know anything about the construction f the Jeep other than the name. All you have to do is place the Jeep next to the the ML class Mercedes and look under at the chassis. It is the same product. That is why the Jeep is such a quality product.

The Jeep gets a bad rap because the name plate doesn't have the same prestige but the resale issue will be a huge problem.
I doubt that, try to find another SUV with equal speed, they don't exist, even a Bentley SUV which costs 3 times more is much slower on acceleration.
How did you like the track up here in NH? I didn't even realize the track was open yet?
Roman's teeth are more yellow than the corn I had for dinner.
A shifter that kills you is standard feature.
Jake Maningding nope,they've changed it to a conventional one (every 2018 jeep has a conventional shifter now
QUESTION: Will this vehicle beat the Mustang GT 350 in a quarter mile and 60 mph to 0 braking test?
DAT SOUND
In Canada, they start at 106k that not including the special tax we got in Quebec for cars over 30k so let's say 5k 110k before taxes then add Federal and provincial taxes 5% and Quebec which is 9.9% tax comes out to 121873.50$ lol for the base model then add more % for financing for 8 years.... and now gas prices are higher basically not your average buyer can afford it. They should have called it a Demon lol.
review the SQ7, ¼ mile, freeway, cliffhanger & cross axle mud
Does this come in Destroyer Gray?
Are you guys going to review the durango srt
2:07 says it all
Cool video. I just posted my review of the Trackhawk on my channel. My press car had a MSRP of $99k
If only I win the Powerball tonight!
Still less expensive and more powerful then any SUV from Germany.
I don't like those wheel design or the yellow calipers color choice. Also wth is a trackhawk it should be a hellcat badge on this truck.
What track is that? In maine? Engineers were at my dealership today with a white track hawk to Replace a front strut.
I can imagine the danger that this thing will bring. Cool
How many do they expect to sell at just under $100,000?
Honestly had debated getting one but my wk2 srt still makes me happy, and for that price point I could just go single turbo from admotorsportz and run 10's. I like like the new interior though, minus the carbon trim (as mine came off after 20k miles). For those saying reliability sucks I'm not sure about the 6.2 but my 6.4 has almost 80k on it, most of which are towing actually, and the only issue I had was my rack and pinion begin to leak. Just going with a mk7 golf R instead with apr stg3 and will hit 10's with 30mpg and then I can still tow it with my srt and get 8mpg on premium haha.
mine 2017 with cat back magnaflow exhaust , and afe air intake tuned, 512 hps very happy
Forget the trackhawk I want the SRT Durango
Cutty N me too
Completely different animals.
Looks better
Why does everybody want a Durango
Albert S. yeah that's what the grand Cherokee is a muscle SUV
I am not sure why people is saying that this keep will cost nothing an a few years or the quality is not that good. Let me tell you something when you buy a brand new car .the car comes with 3 years bumper to bumper warranty from factory. Plus you can extend it. For 7 more years or 100,000 miles .and this jeep is not your typical grand Cherokee.
I'd hate to pay for it, but I would love driving it around!
WHY are the headlight leds flickering?
Edward Thayer it's the camera
they went to over the counter price list for each part engine $ trans $ wheel $
13 mpg combined? that's insane
they missed it on the price point but they may not have had a choice. They should have shifted the SRT8 lower and then pinned this at 92k. Hopefully this one has less issues than the SRT8 #fingerscrossed
Fiat has Mercedes G wagon right in it's cross hairs. When the Wagoneer comes out, I hope they don't "D" Fit up. The Wagoneer is supposed to have the Escalade in it's cross hairs.
Perhaps it will get cheaper after Great Wall buys FCA
$80K+ for a Jeep?! It could be laced with gold and I (or anyone who hasn't had a lobotomy) would not buy it. But seriously, it's a Jeep - a Chrysler product. These things are known for not being reliable or assembled well (when compared to the competition). As for its 707hp - that doesn't do much good in any of the top 25 largest cities in the country.
Tully3674 the only thing I can say to that is, I've driven an older Cherokee with 231K on the clock, and my uncle's Ram has 300K plus
Also i would mention, while Alfa's in Europe are known to be unreliable, they are less expensive to fix than a BMW. a couple of Repairs on a BMW would equal 10 repairs on a Alfa.
Man that performance in that gorgeous interior has the Euro luxo rides beat. I’ll take that interior any day over MB or Range Rover. It’s down right opulent.

Where'd you get the Demon hat, Nathan? I want one!
How does it do on a Moose Test????
I'm wondering why FCA didn't do a little bit of redesign and badge it as a Dodge. This SUV just goes against everything that Jeep is supposed to stand for.
I love my 97' Laredo 4x4
Jeep srt price will drop?
My next ride 🔥
100k?!? I'm Mopar until I die but ain't no way I'll pay that shit for a jeep. Shit the Hellcat 2015's are going for 49k on up here in GA.
Cool track in Maine, huh where is that?
Why couldn't they differ this from a regular Grand Cherokee and make it more of its own? Badges are exactly the same as a Trailhawk
So it's all wheel drive...when are you taking it up gold mine hill?
I’m just waiting to see this in the Forza video game series!
You love speed Roman, don't you? 😁
99K? That's nothing compared to the ridiculous prices in Holland (due to tax-regulations). Overhere the starting price of the Laredo is 83K EURO (thats $97K), the SRT starting price is 174K EURO ($205K)... See: carconfigurator.jeep.com/nl_NL/grand-cherokee/#/version
I don't understand this embargo that these car manufacturers won't let the testers talk about them..
It's a "light truck" shouldn't be a gas guzzler tax
The only thing here that makes since is buying a last gen srt8 jeep and supercharge it your self by time your done tuning your only at 38-40k save that 60k for a nice f250 to tow it with lol
It's time for them to completely redesigned that truck
Tesla Model X 100d vs Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk quarter mile?
And meanwhile I can't get an ORC module for my Grand Cherokee because Fiat Chrysler says they're "not available at this time." So, none of my airbags work. I will never buy another Jeep.
Dodge should make a Durango TrackHawk/HellCat and put the Hellcat engine in it with AWD.
Drop that engine in the pick up bay already!
Wrangler Hellcat please, thanks!
All SRT vehicles would appreciate in value if FCA weren't building one for every driveway!
So is Nathan not part of tfl anymore ?
What makes you say that?
When is dodge going to do something with the RAM? At least give us the options to get the regular cab 1500 with the 6.4 HEMI. You guys have forgotten about truck guys??
So, Bentley bentaiga also claims about 3.5s 0-60. Wonder which one is actually faster...
Its like this trackhawk and the demon are going to be fca`s final swan song....
I don't get where all the dodge and jeep hate comes from? My durango and charger have been the most reliable cars I've owned! All my neighbors have luxury cars and they stay at the dealer!
illumination357 whole bunch of RUclips racers who've never driven anything but moms minivan who've watched too many ass' like Jeramy Clarkson
illumination357 Because they are, statistically, the lowest in terms of quality and reliability. As a Ford guy, I happen to like a lot of Chryler products but the difference in quality is noticeable.
illumination357 I think it's a badass suv but reliability to me is horrible. I've had 3 Jeep Wranglers my sister has the Cherokee Trailhawk my brother-in-law has a ram 1500 and we've had nothing but problems. they've been in the shop more than anything. my sister's Trailhawk is a 2016 it's already had the transmission replaced once and it was also shutting off randomly driving down the road they replaced some electronic crap to fix it. my brother-in-law's 2014 Ram 1500 has had the rear end replaced the AC pump replaced and it's already starting to rust and he puts only nine thousand miles a year on it because he has a company fire work truck to drive everyday, and both vehicles are garage kept and they're always cleaned and maintained well. my last Jeep Wrangler 2013 too many engine issues

Kristopher Klassen Sounds about right!
