Love your description of the people who killed the V8’s 😂 Great review 👍🏻
Haha glad you agree with me! Rip V8s 🥲
The v8 ain’t dead tho 😭💀y’all boys be big sad for nothing, the electric challenger while gap a new v8 even a 7.0 Mustang won’t hang 🤦🏾♂️
@@noahshields507You don't get it. It isn't about speed, it's about the experience. I understand that when you plant your foot to the floor in an electric it will press you into your seat but once you take your foot off it becomes a soulless silent toaster on wheels while in a v8 or any fun engine in general you can have lots of fun at any speed, even more if you find yourself a manual. So if you really think about it, if electric cars are the future, the fun of driving is dead.
@@noahshields507 shut up you pussy Tesla driver
Agreed…..Forget Electric cars these companies has too much control over your car ….I don’t want no car where somebody besides myself sitting behind a computer can control hmmmm (Tesla)
I just bought a used 2021 JGC SRT with barely over 8k miles two months ago for my daily driver. It is such a blast to drive and carries that intimidating look wherever I go. Great video!
Nice buy mate!! They are bloody awesome eh
Love these cars, easily the maddest SUV ever made alongside the Trackhawk. Probably won’t ever be beaten, too. 👍🏻
Cayenne turbo
Nope, not whatsoever. 👎🏻
Yup only 2nd to the trackhawk n I don’t think it will ever be beaten..
@@mountainjews hell no. That’s a boat on wheels
@@howtofixyourtech9945 handles better than the jeep & im speaking from experience lol
Simply the best only next to the TrackHawk!
That trackhawk 🥺
Lol, replying to yourself 🤣🤣🤣
PS: It gives your second channel exposure
@@MartinJones123 EXACTLY ;)
It is a shame we are not getting the V8 anymore
Such a shame
@@RossReviewsau definitely
Love my 2019 SRT that I just bought last March 2024 with just over 30k kms on the clock. Drove all the way down from Sydney where I collected it, to Melbourne and clinching 250 km/h in a zone where I was able to smoke the thing. Brilliant handling, incredible muscle car power and sound with all the goodies!! Yeehaw🤠
The 392 is one of my all time favourite, very cool suv for sure
Awesome vehicles eh
Absolutely amazing thank you for your time and effort
Glad you enjoyed it
These things launch like crazy for their size/weight. Came up against one in my Twin turbo Soarer back in the day (mostly stock at the time save for an exhaust and twin intakes)
We were level pegging for 20 meters or so, and the Soarer just broke out in wheelspin going sideways, I backed off and the Jeep just powered ahead.
(Upgraded my tires to 265 Advan AD08's, added more power as a result of that drag race)
The launch on these is unreal! Especially for the size and weight
You got me so hyped… can’t wait to buy one these
Thanks brother you will love it
Thank you mate great show 👍🏼😁
Glad you enjoyed it
I Stumbled across these vid and was like wat the hell I'll check it out, glad I did! As a owner of a 2017 jeep srt I approve this message! I've slightly modified mines. Bigger Throttle body bigger headers cool air intake and a Borla attack exhaust and it's been tuned as well. I've de-badged it and people swear its a Trackhawk!
awesome work mate! glad you enjoyed the video hold onto her! love them
I plan on getting one‼️ Great review🙏🏽
Do it brother! Epic rides
Couldn’t have said it any better about the windgers who who destroyed the mighty Aussie v8 , dosent matter wether your a ford or a Holden fan , they both made some pretty special cars that Australia can be proud of , love your content mate.
Cheers Adam! It’s sad the V8s are all going 🥲
"windgers who who destroyed the mighty Aussie v8" C'mon now, it's the same place that invented the V8 in the first place which killed the Aussie V8: Detroit, Michigan IMO. They could never or would never allow import of a significant number of Australian-made V8 Commodores/Caprices or V8 (or turbo Barra) Falcons/Territories into the US because of the need to protect their own US factories. Chevrolet never put much effort into marketing the Chevrolet SS for example, as I believe they only ever intended to sell the minimum number of Commodores in the United States they were contractually obliged to.
Both the Ford Australia and GM Holden plants simply needed more export markets allocated to them by Detroit (which didn't happen) in order to have a profitable level of production volume, whereas Toyota in Japan made sure to allocate lots of export markets to the Australian factory so Toyota Australia was still profitable to the end unlike the others.
United States CAFE fuel economy targets do make it more difficult to sell V8 vehicles, but it's still designed in such a way that fuel economy targets are much more lenient for pickup trucks & large SUVs than for cars and they could (and still do) fit V8 engines to pickup trucks and SUVs AFAIK.
There are definitely no such United States CAFE fuel economy limits (or European Union "WLTP" CO2 limits) in the Australian market, so to blame the rules for a lack of large engines in the Australia market would be wrong. Heck, we are still on Euro 5 emissions rules in Australia, you can still sell pretty much any engine in any car you want in Australia. 🙂
Great review as usual mate 👍 seriously thinking about 1 of these beasts. 🤔
Worth having a look mate!
I dont think the price is justifiable anymore unfortunately. 80k+ for a 2017 and as it was mentioned, they really arent that reliable. Look cool, sound incredible, go pretty hard but theres better options for the price tag.
@@kers225abk2 I own a Jeep SRT but I kind of agree with you on the price these days! I paid $80k brand new in 2017! Now I love the price for used ones have gone through the roof, but I wouldn't pay $80k for a used 5yo one that's out of warranty! I had cam/lifter failure 6 months out of warranty! (Common problem with the 392 hemi with MDS).It was expensive to fix@ But Jesus it's a fun car to drive LOL
Just drove one recently OMG all I can say. Fantastic vehicle
They are wicked
Beast vehicles! Over in NZ this year / model are almost the same price as older model Holden SS / HSV. That's a lot of SUV grunt for the price of a Holden. Holdens biggest downfall for their V8 line here might well have been the price point. Also not making a V8 Captiva. Great Review video!
For 10 years I’ve been test driving other cars to upgrade from my srt… so disappointed even new raptor doesn’t cut for me. Love this car
😂 I don’t blame you! This srt is hard to beat
The irony is that those blue haired muppets replacing their leased Tesla every two years like it’s an iPhone they need to upgrade to stay current is far worse for the environment than Bruce down the street who keeps his beloved V8 for ten years before upgrading.
It's usually lawyer's and such that own them for tax purposes. Not greenies
Also funny as most cars Ross review's are ones for sale, so the first owners of most cars sell them after 3-5 years no matter what car. The VF group has lots of people now selling Thier vf they bought new now.
100% facts definitely agree with you there
Yup your spot on man! I reckon hybrid is way better than electric but.. time will tell with these electric vehicles 💀
I've got a 2018 SRT and it's freaking awesome..
They rip!
Yes they sure do.. Just ask the people who's doors I blew off trying to race me.
Absolutely love mine would recommend to anyone looking for a SUV and not minding a bit of fuel usage to get one for sure
I second that! Best daily ever if not having to drive long distances (fuel). Just fit a MDS delete kit to mitigate cam/lifter failure - plenty of info on RUclips about 392 hemi cam/lifter failure.
Gotta agree If you can afford the fuel bill this is an epic daily! Huge fun
Oh man , I miss mine badly, I had wheels, suspension, 100 cell cats, borla exhaust, intake, tune. No launch control, just held it at 2500 rpm in track mode. Clocked 4.3 on a flat road with some wheel spin. unreal.
🥵🥵🥵 sounds epic! They go hard I really enjoyed this
I've done 4.3 in my jeep srt too - similar mods (borla + cold air intake). Pretty much unbeatable at a set of traffic lights! It just hooks and goes!
Hey mate why don’t you have one anymore?
@@ohMY03 purchased a Farm. Priorities 😭
I’ve done 4.1 in mine on a cat back exhaust only
You have some really nice cars on your channel Ross Reviews. Can you please please please bring out the Ford FGX Falcon XR6 Sprint and XR8 Sprint comparison next please. You should review the 20’000KM blue VE SS.
To Ross Reviews
From Jordan’s car reviews
All coming soon cheers jordan 👌
Thank you very much. Can’t freaking wait’ I’ll keep my eye open.
To Ross Reviews
From Jordan’s car reviews
Nice ride., guess it's stock as a rock...with some easy mods that thing can do low 4's. Oh and its...Street AND Racing Technology. Good stuff.
I believe they can easily get in the 4s! Crazy fast for 3 ton
I've done 4.3 in my jeep srt with the only mods being a borla exhaust and cold air intake. I get better times without launch control, just release brake 1 second after planting the accelerator.
@@MrHeath1971 yeah launch control on these makes you slower. Full exhaust, tune, intake and a very sedate cam=4.1.
Keeping mine for sure!
Good man
The best sleeper you could own
It’s a beast
Good explanation of those greeny dorks you put them up on a pedestal to what I think of them, Such is Life.
Good review Jono I like to look at them (Jeeps) and hear their exhausts but wouldn't own one I have heard too many sad stories.
Tony
The greenies are watermelon 🍉 communist scum
Jeep reliability is questionable lol but man i love this thing!
@@RossReviewsau 44k Trackhawk has been 100% absolutely flawlessly reliable. Exterior side skirt fasteners came loose. Big deal.
I drove it for 3 days from my dlrshp lent it to me.Man i love it so much!!
WHAT A BEAST! sad to see this not getting a V8 anymore thanks to the Fairies🧚♀:(
Rip V8s
I have owned a 2018 SRT since new
It averages around 19-20 L/100km around town - and that's driving like a nana
The build quality is diabolical - my Mazda 6 which 12 years older is screwed together way, way better than my Jeep
And Jeep charge a premium price to service a product which reality dictates is NOT a premium product (and to buy the thing in the first instance)
But in spite of all the above, it's real fun to drive
I installed a Borla Atak cat-bat exhaust and now it rages under full acceleration
I 'pray' that petrol prices recover to pre-Ukraine conflict prices else it will probably end-up going on the market (fortunately it's not a daily driver so that offsets the expense of running the thing)
Sucks Australia never got Challengers and Chargers, they seem like the perfect fit for Aussie muscle car fans… esp the Charger, b/c of ‘Hey Charger’✌️
It really is stupid how we don’t get them eh
@@RossReviewsau Yah esp. since the Charger/Challenger can be RHD (300 is and it’s mechanically identical)
Hi Johnny...love this Jeep SRT. Imagine having the the ZF 8 Speed auto in your F6 ??...Do you think it would make your F6 faster or slower ??... anyways keep up the great content brother 💯
@Hates Spam Yeah that's true... I hadn't thought of that but it sure rows through the gears quickly and keeps the rpms up high.👍👍
Stinger has the 8 speed, it did the same 0-100 as a XR6T with the 6 speed zf.
im not sure if it would make a big difference or not... i think in a V8 it would be better maybe.. as the turbo needs longer gearing i feel like to let that boost build! both great boxes
BMW and Mercedes’ also had V8 fast SUVs Mercedes’ had the ML63 in 2007 was quicker than a lambo at the time would love to see a review of one those Big NA v8 one’s
I do like the G63 I might have to try that one soon
I REALLY want of these like badly but I’m still young and can’t afford it rt now I just hope by the time I can afford I can get one for a reasonable price
It’s 50/50 man possibly for a high km 5 spd you can get for cheap later but these later models with low Kms will be going up and up I feel
Beast 🔥🔥i love mine
Epic machines
Me personally I’ve never been a big fan of dodge jeep Chrysler fiat brands and I see SRT’s and dodges everywhere I turn my head I wanted to be different but still doesn’t take away from that nice sounding hemi tho I always love my V8’s
3 T is the maximum allowable weight with people and stuff inside. The kerb weight is 2289kg which is alot.
I may have read it wrong.. 2300’sounds more correct
I know man.But now i can't still afford it.Prolly gonna wait for durango srt inztead
Sensational! I just went and bought one 😂
Good for you! Nice buy
the toughest suvs ever made!
So damn tuff 💪
Fucking love the sound of a Hemi V8. Best V8's in the world, thats what they used to say anyway. Theres a couple i see out my way and I love hearing them purr!
They sound mean 😈
I appreciate youv received this SUV! I Own one! They do have faults - but fark Jesus they are fun to drive!
its an absolute beast eh
Love these cars easiest the maddest suv on the road
Straight up eh! Only the Trackhawk can beat it
As if i get a jeep ad before this too 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 them RUclips algorithms eh
LMAO bro just for that blue haired comment I am subscribing.
Just got the same exact truck this thing is an absolute beast.
Thanks for the sub! Good buy brother
hell yeah!!!!lol
Such a Beautiful Jeep! 🔥 I need one to daily! My lifted Jeep ain’t it haha
They are so damn nice eh
Blue hair muppets got me 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 new sub
Thanks for subbing!
I just had a nightmare I paid $111k for one. I woke up and got on autotrader and the prices are low
111k was that brand new? Track hawks used go for about 130-140 it seems here
Great car, their only issue for me is their crap towing capacity. This for me is why a used merc GL63 is a great buy.
That’s a fair call I didn’t actually look up there rating lol I was more focused on the launch control 🤣
3.5 tonne towing is more than enough @RossReviewsau
Isn’t it funny that the new turbo ford ranger raptor that was raced at heathcote on the weekend ran the same times as that info system said the Jeep did raptor makes a lot less power as well
This is 3 ton remember and NA and much older
What’s with the front bumper I can’t find any for sale with that front end
Love mine but having one here in Chicago is just too dangerous letting mine go 2019 with a wrap beautiful made vehicle no complaints who looking to buy lol.
Don’t sell it brother 🥲 gotta do what you gotta do tho
Love my SRT Jeeps
Awesome vehicle 👌
Ross, awesome review....
I'm tossing up between a VE HSV GTS E1,2 or 3 and the 2012/13 GC SRT.... Your thoughts and which will give me a better resale value
Depends what you want from them.. the HSV in manual would be a better weekender but the SRT is the superior all rounder and both should keep there value no worries
@@RossReviewsau as i have a bad left knee was actually considering an auto for the HSV and not a manual...lol
@@conkolovouris6393 got rid of a vf for a srt. If you have a crook knee, you will appreciate the Jeep's extra height. From a dig, these things are hard to beat.
@@marv9820 thanks pal
I always loved these as well. But hey it's a Jeep it will probably break pretty quickly
Maybe 😅
Naa these things things are solid!
Been owning them from 2012 till this date!
It’s a very strong car!I had a GTS and X5M which is way faster than srt but trust me srt is the strongest car between them!
I’d love one. But everyone I speak to tells me to steer clear. They sound and look great, but sounds like they all have a lot of issues? Not concerned about fuel. But would you suggest this would be a poor choice for a daily driven dad wagon? Haha
Jeep has its problems in terms of electrics.. but I’d consider buying one of these
dang this is lowkey my dream car and i wanted to start saving and try to buy it a year out of high school (2 years)... do yall think a 2018 JGC srt will still be under 40k in about 2 years
I think for a 5 speed you can pick one up quite cheap then.. but for a later model with low kms I fear these are only going to go up in price in the next couple years
The sound is brutal, only a V8.
So good 😮💨🥵
if youre in the area you should review my SRT 6.4L swapped ram 1500....13s 1/4miles on 35s :D
Where are you located?
@@RossReviewsau Newcastle NSW
Ford Mustang still being produced with 5 litre naturally aspirated V8
Thank you Ford!!!
Pretty much are last saviour 🥲
Dropping 2 cylinders and adding on 2 turbos isn't gonna save the planet, it's already too late so might as well go out with a bang, 426 HEMI supercharger in EVERYTHING, I mean LEESSS FRIGGIN GOOOOOO!!
The logic of the blue haired muppets is not even fathomable.. they have about as much brain power as a wet sock 🧦
It weighs 2.3 tonne, not ‘just under 3 tonne’. And yes, I have one. In Velvet Red 😎.
I think I miss read its fully capable weight
Did yall get the hellcat durago, the demond charger , the hellphant swap witch the shops here swap into 300s
No we didn’t get the Durango.. only the track hawk and the TRX
I have one and I tell the kids every time I over take a Roadtrain a baby dolphin dies
😂🤣🤣🤣 take that greenies
I love these cars! I may lean to the left politically but I’m definitely not a left wing blue haired muppet! I’m a car guy and I love my v8s. Awesome review mate!
We don't need to defend ourselves against people who just have silly statements with no understanding. The EV issue is pushed by big oil and gas to avoid people looking at the real emissions issues.
Totally agree with you. Nothing wrong with electric cars but much much prefer internal combustion. Just wish it was more the free market that decides if we should push for electric cars rather than government policies
Could you please make a video about how to keep safe from police when we want to race or go fast or have fun on cars like a tips to not been under arrest
Just did go check it out
@@RossReviewsau sorry but i didn’t understand you mean go out or far from peoples and suburbs or you mean you will do a vid for that ?
Definitely RIP to the V8 a what a shame.
Bloody left wing greenies!
Love this review what a beast of a car. Never late in a big V8
Your never late in this beast that’s for sure eh
Did 0-60 in 4.2secs in my 2017 Jeep SRT
I believe it
Lol, love it, ive got a 6.1 insane
Great motor 😮💨
they fucked up more by changing the body style of the grand cherokee shit looks horrible now
Srt8 was fire 🔥 I don’t mind this look either tho
And SUVs are the reason the Falcons and Commodores were killed, people stopped buying them and bought piece of crap V6 grand Cherokees and Klugers instead.
Kluger has a very decent V6.
@@mvnorsel6354 if you like shit sounding engine's in a crappy suv
SUVs are crap 99% but these I can stand behind.. 6.4L V8 😈 I wish we still had our Aussie cars tho 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Even worse, those people who thought Falcodores were big buy the stupid dual cabs, Land Cruisers or even Chinese cars 🤮
Excalty why I have two... both me and my wife have 1 each fell in love with them from day 1 both purchased from new an 2013 srt8 hemi and an 2020 srt8 supercharged track...... if u guess who drives what ill send u an srt8 hat we get custom made free!! 🤷
that's the way mate! lucky man to have a wife like that! let me guess she's riding the supercharged one! haha
I believe the 2023 track hawk still has the 707 hp hellcat motor .
Let’s pray brother!
When are they going to stop putting these V8s in them?
It’s a shame the automotive industry is going through such a great transition and I never got to buy my dream car smh
“Great” I wouldn’t use that word to describe the transition.. it’s sad to see these amazing machines die off one by one
@@RossReviewsau i meant it as in "big" and it sure is
Just why!! Other motor manufacturers are still making big engine SUV'S so why has the decision been made not to build anymore Jeep Track Hawks or SRT'S.
Ikr the politics around this I’m sure is the answer, emissions or something I’m sure 💀
I subscribed when you made fun of liberals. Love it! This and the track hawk are my favorites. I have a jeep Grand Cherokee overland and absolutely love it. Can't wait to upgrade!
🤣 glad you enjoyed that comment brother
I have a 6.0 ls Monte Carlo ss cam and heads and we eat srt’s for breakfast😂
I’d be surprised off the line but look at the size of these too
Didn’t if you heard they are making a performance jeep for 2024
Not with a V8 tho
Nice
👌
Were they successful though? I think ML63's etc sell more. Probably less electrical issues too.
Definitely nothing like that on the road beside x5m's and the gle63s and g63s....
I think they were very successful! Been in production since 2006.. lots on the road.
Love your political rant. Made me love this channel even more!! America, F yeah! HAHA
Unfortunately the new Charger etc are electric 😡 so hope the TT V6 Petrol is correct. At least we have some people making cars great again
Cheers Lawrence 🤣 I’m a petrol head, pisses me off we are loosing all the great engines.. let’s hope the twin turbo 6 is still good
Im so confused with whats a hellcat, scat, redeye etc..
Trim levels / engines
if it's auto I'm not interested.
get a manual.
Manual SUV? Lol the paddle shift is nice tho
Is this a trackhwark
lol America reminded me of The other guys lol
hows the fuel economy
18-20 L/100km around town...12-13 highway
Marvs comment is spot on
What fuel economy? 🤣
I wonder if it's the same engine as the trackhawk...slap a supercharger on it !!
And leave the internals stock, risky business 😬.
Different engine.
The 6.4ltr doesn't take well to boost - the rings sit too high on the piston. Forge the bottom end and boost away! The 6.4ltr is also prone to cam/lifter failure - fit a MDS delete kit before that happens. How do I know all of this - been there done that LOL
It’s a different engine I believe but man it’s one hell of a unicorn that trackhawk 🥵😈😫

392 Hemis are 🍋 lemons
Here in Australia the importer Jerp FCA now Stellantis have side stepped most warranty claims since 2014, leaving 90+% of owners with an 18kAUD or 13kUSD repair bill:
Piston ring lan fail.
Cam fail.
Lifter fail.
Mds fail.
Oil pump fail need larger volume for this motor.
Valve stem seal fail.
Plastic coolant line fails
Engine mount fails.
Oil in the inlet manifold fail.
Runs too hot radiators fail short life.
Fuel consumption is one of the worst on the road if not the worst.
All the electronics and yet the valve train fail rarely shows up as a problem code, some cars engines blow up.
Here in Australia parts are 3 x the price of what they should be, the government got involved at one point.
We love our Hemis in Australia but there life & reliability is that of a Russian car from the 1960s
I'd be real happy driving that thing around & bloody fast seeing how heavy she is amazing & what do you reckon mate everything is tough in Merica lol & yes the blue haired climate freaks are destroying the world the dogs,fantastic review cheers Johnny.
Haha knew you would appreciate the blue haired cry baby’s comment 🤣
Let’s go Brandon. 😁😁😁

It has a horrible note is sounds like its constipated and needs to Shart....
I like em.. you can always put an exhaust on
It’s a shame they are junk
I don’t think so.. tho 99% of jeep is
Amazing vehicle, but it sure does have a target on it for degenerate thieves.
Definitely I’m the states

@@neon697 sad.. shame you guys didnt get the ford falcons, there better then holdens 🤣
I own one of these there great when everything is working fine but there extremely unreliable cars
It’s still a Jeep lol
i have a 2012 with a bored out Mopar crate engine to 500hp, timing change broke on my orig engine at 74k miles, fuck Jeep/dodge
Gotta pay to play
Honestly ,i don't get the purpose of these cars.
You can't track them.
And you can't take them off road.
I appreciate what they are,.but it doesn't make sense.
Drive one and you will feel it 😎💪
if it ain't a trackhawk idc
This is still damn good but TH is the 🐐
