- Why did one of the biggest car manufactures in the world cancel their best selling performance vehicle, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT?
Today we will go over all the reasons Jeep/Dodge decided to make the move to cut off one the most loved sport utility vehicles (SUV) the Jeep SRT. The Jeep SRT was first produced in 2006 with the Wk1 body style. As time went on they changed their design to a more family friendly body shape with the wk2 Jeep SRT, and then the facelift version of the Wk2 in 2017.
For 2022 Jeep cut off all production for the Jeep SRT and Jeep Trackhawk for 2022 without any explanation given, will we see a performance Jeep in the future?

The Trackhawk was the last hoorah before everything becomes electric. The same with all the SRT models, the same with Cadillac and their V models. It's annoying because alot of these electric cars won't succeed as much as the high performance cars we have now but, it's the future and people would rather have fuel efficient minivans i guess. 😕
The people? 😂🤣 we definitely didn't have a say-so in that decision lmao! That decision was apparently for climate change and electronic control, invasion of privacy..
Hold onto them. They will actually be appreciating assests. Not many vehicles do that!
Bought a 2015 SRT Red Vapor. Red paint, Black/Red interior with only 39k miles. Only 75 were distributed through the US in 2015 in that color. Excited to see how it will appreciate in the years to come. Good video 👍🏼
ONLY 39K miles???
World is going to crap. This is why used sales are up. I was looking at 2017 SRTs that were going to 50K. Crazy
That's actually not a bad price, considering.
Well I tried, bought a 2018 trackhawk, sold it to the dealer and bought a 2021 had an srt jeep beforehand, I tried to help sales guys, guess my purchases didn’t help enough
I’m so happy I bought a 2021 Trackhawk. Never did I think I would ever pay markup for a car but I did. And I have zero regrets. So far, I have not lost a single race, both from a dig and roll. I’m not saying I’m the fastest out there, but I’m up there. I actually could have bought a Tesla plaid. With the gas and maintenance, the Trackhawk ends up costing more than the plaid in 3 years (for me). But I wanted an suv. And the Tesla SUVs don’t do it for me. I wanted a supercharged v8 as well. The whine is amazing. The exhaust is amazing.
I also have a 2019 raptor supercrew and 2019 5.0 pp1. My favorite vehicle at the moment is the Trackhawk by far. There are days where I burn through an entire tank of gas in one day. I average 8 mpg. Lol. I stay in sport mode and stay driving it fast.
Im jealous! Lol
Must be nice. I'll have to stick with my 2016 black High Altitude that I had the factory chrome deleted on. Still get lots of compliments. Would love to be able to afford the Trackhawk but I also live in an area that gets a good bit of snow in the winter, and the Quadra-Lift air suspension has really come in handy. Still dreaming about the Trackhawk though.
@@BirdsFn4Life nice bro! I’m in Cali, so it’s cool here. Other than u know, it being Cali. Lol. Bro, I’m getting 8 mpg on the hawk cuz I leave it in sport and race every fuckin chance I get. I look for it! I gotta convince people to race me cuz they scared!!! Just beat a hellcat the other day off the line of course. He didn’t want any smoke. I have to talk him into it by insulting his manhood. Bro!! Look at the prices! There is one with 9k miles going for 129k on autotrader. Value done gone the fuck up!! I love this fuckin thing!! I’m tired of coupes. And like Kyle said, 4 doors more whores! I be getting my groove on in the hoe!! Lol!
Wish u the best! I hope you get it one day or whatever else u desire!!
Bro! Went to go drop off doggy at groomer just now. On the way back, I launched it like 4 times. I don’t know what the max is to launch this thing but I’m launching it till I break something
@@joemomma707 Cool, been to Cali once for the Eagles vs Rams game back in 2017. It was nice to enjoy the 80 degree weather in December. Enjoy that beast!
If you ever get a Tesla your gonna be counted at a traitor to us mopar fans just saying 😄
So this means the current srt Jeep will increase in value 💯💯📈📈💪💪
I’m confident they will cook up something for the WL(2 row). The T6 is supposed to be able to easily produce the HP and Torque of the current 5.7.
This is what I’m hearing. SRT nameplate is done forever with Jeep. Like you said there will be performance variants for the new WL platform that will feature a hybrid plug in or the inline 6. And last I heard it will still be badged as a trackhawk with those two versions. Hard to picture a performance version of the new WL platform. Way too boxy for my liking.
Sucks we won't see a WL body style but I still want a 2017-2018 model SRT.
Im sure they will have some performance variants in the future with that new v6 tt they trying to push since the v8 is pretty much dead too 🤔
Hi man, how is the bonnet(hood) looks with your stain black warp ? Can you send me some photos? Thx
The amg 6.3 haven't been 6 3 liters in awhile ......they are actually 4.0 twin turbo v8s
I thought 63 just meant V8. While 65 meant V12.
@@raymonds7492 high performance v8. The 550 is just regular v8.
The Jeep Dealer near me said they stopped then because it was messing with their overall MPG ratings
Yep… I’ll give you 3 letters: … E…P… A… aside from the fact this organization is comprised of unelected people who use our tax dollars to infringe on the rights, their entire makeup of the regulations they place on vehicle manufacturers makes absolutely zero sense. It requires auto manufacturers to make larger and heavier trucks and suv’s, while keeping the average mpg of them below a certain threshold. Its really nonsensical. They are just one of the many 3 letter organizations that needs to cease to exist.
There are still some new 2021 TH’s on the lot. Some, as in around 5 or so.
Good times, I got a 2014 Cherokee Limited with a Hemi, goes like hell! Love it, gotta have a V8 eh!
Well I have a 2012 SRT8 and can't find a lot of parts for them... that year model
I got a 2019 SRT. I love it!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is the Hellcat Durango not a sports suv
Bro, ur forgetting the fact that they will be hybrids eventually and then strictly EV at some point not a simple inline V6 which means they will probably make GOBES of TQ with the ability to upgrade the Turbo's and be faster than the Trackhawk.
Ppl are just gonna have to get over the loss of the V8 rumble but I dont hear anyone complaining about cars like the RS3 which is a 5 cylinder Turbo and sounds like a super car. Ur blowing the whole "No more V8" out of proportion. And not to mention the TH and the SRT were just poor sellers compared to other Jeep models. They are in business to make money not build something that sounds kool! Really enjoy ur content and enthusiasm!
TrackHawks and SRT keeps were great selling vehicles. Not sure where you're getting your Data
@@Ruphus7 No they weren't they had terrible sales actually
@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK sales were anywhere from 2k-9k since the wk1 SRT was introduced.
It's a trim level. A unique jeep that purist and many folks hate and don't understand. (Performance truck).
Jeep is making a profit if they sell 10 or a 1000. The 10 year old platform has been paid off 3 times over.
With government regulations and EV's , the auto world (V8''s) have almost become a dinosaur over night . Unfortunately
@@Ruphus7 Not happening that fast bro. Shops will be around for the next 100 years modifying ICE vehicles. Just cause EV will be sold doesnt mean all the ppl with ICE cars are gonna have them melted.....
Gas will be expensive but there will be places to get it long after u and I ARE DEAD
Well you have to think, the srt was more expensive, and insurance (maybe even maintenance?) prices are higher
I'm happy with my 2015 SRT
At 72000 Miles my timing chain broke so I replaced it with a Mopar, bored out 500hp
Bro this world is falling apart cars are just being ruined for no reason 🤦🏽♂️
You have to thank the new administration they are the one that want to go with the new green crap!!!!!!
Looks like the 4xe 4 cyl hybrid is already going to replace the 5.7L V8's so it's just a matter of time before hybrid & EV's replace the 6.4's & even the SC'ed Trackhawk's.
You forgot about the durango hellcat and redeye lol
From 2018 to 2020, Jeep SRT sales were 6,000, 4,500 and 2,500. Production numbers aren’t available for 2021 yet. In that same time period, the non performance versions of the Grand Cherokee are consistently in the 200,000s. It’s simple: Jeep isn’t a performance brand anymore. The Trackhawk and the SRT are peanuts compared to what they make off the standard Grand Cherokee. And if you need a 2022 muscle SUV fix, Dodge is still selling the Durango SRT for this year and probably next. Lastly, the Grand Waggoneer can be bought with the 6.4L V8 in all three levels, not just the level 3. We looked at a Level 1 Grand Waggoneer with the 392 engine and went with a Hellcat Durango instead.
Jeep SRT is 70k to start literally only car people buy SRT and trackhawks .
Damn I thought they were gonna do a 2022 srt one last yime
Hey, i enjoy your vids.. 2022 jeep changed from the old Mercedes’ platform, to Alfa Romeo Stelio platform. Thus all the good stuff, SSB.. steering, suspension and brakes needed for crazy cool stuff, are not made, and with electric suv doing 0-60mph, in 2.3 seconds, my guess would be they are not going to bother starting up more lines to fit a dying horse. I’m with you tho.. i have 2021 trailhawk with 5.7. Not near the fun of a track hawk, or srt. But has the old fashioned v8 growl.
Hey thanks. That definitely makes sense, I bet we’ll see some cool models in the future, do you think trackhawks will be classics?
@@HellcatGuy absolutely they will be!! I’m thinking about the time most are going to electric, people will be hoarding them. I expect to get %20 more when I trade my trail hawk, in 5-6 years because of the v8. They will get more and more rare.. track hawks will be like gold in a few years. They didn’t make many of them, that, with the ones crashed or scrapped, will only increase the value of them.
So your Saying Never Ever Get Rid of your SRT or Trackhawks because they will be Classics and worth money in 25 years?
Dawg imma just it myself lmao 🤣
100k to not get 11s at the strip is a Big no no for the Mopar fam it got to heavy. And they all look alike in the wk2 world
Trackhawk canceled too
Jeep has the rubicon 392
Guarantee they are going to be making more but with the 500hp twin turbo i6 engine. Wait on it.
As you speak Cadillac has introduced the Escalade V with over 700 + hp so there is still an American muscle SUV and since you said yourself you like the Escalade sport just get the V.
Yea but that’s way more expensive. Cadillacs cost more to insure and maintain, in fact it’s about 60k-70k more than what new trackhawks sold for.
i would have rather them retire the 63 nameplate in glory than stuff a trumpet in it they also better not stuff a v6 in a car and call it a hellcat
I definitely agree
Y’all seem to forget that the SCOTUS is actually trying to limit the EPA on a lot of emissions , you need fossil fuel in order to charge your weak ass battery packs 😂 I don’t think the V8 will go anywhere tbh
Ok AMG got ride of the big 6.3L V8 a long time ago and went with the 4.0 bi-turbo, Wife has a 2017 C63s and since AMG dumped the V8 we are not trading that in anytime soon. But when we go out to eat we take the 21 Jeep SRT.
How about Dodge Durango SRT ? Not muscle SUV ?
Not sure if anyone remembers or not but FCA was bought out and its now Stellantis. They clearly are making the performance division strictly Dodge and Jeep will just be now your wranglers, Grand Cherokees Wagoneer etc. If you want performance then go to Dodge, thats why the Durango SRT is still there as that body style wont stop till MY2024. Dont be surprised if you see a Durango Super Stock version as well since both the trackhawk and SRT are now gone from the Jeep lineup that freed up some emissions compliances issues they had and may possibly do a last Horrahh for the Durango in the form of a redeye or super stock version. Dont be surprised if it happens. Dodge wont go down without a last Final BOOM!!
C63 hasn't had a 6.3l in years lol
I have a video leaking what that new inline 6 engine looks like from Chrysler it’s confirmed they are putting it in the wagoneer for now
This is the same dude saying don't buy the 2021...wait for the 2022 srt 😂😂😂
Sad that when I turn 21 all of theses amazing cars are not being made anymore and is turning electric
They are going heavy towards the luxury Wagoneer
You’re forgetting about the RT Durango and the hellcat Durango those are SUV muscle cars
Jeep SRT in LA is crazy $$high
Explain please
A 5.7 with low range works better for me
2011 started the WK2.
bruh you say the mercedes is going to an inline six and the clip says four cylinder 😅
Even worse, it is a 2.0 4 cylinder. The worst joke mercedes ever made
2006-2010
So sad....
Did you quit RUclips?
Durango Hellcat is performance SUV
What the ss trail blazer
HELLCAT THEFTS !
True, but the challenger and charger hellcat is still being made until 2023
You’re 100% right P. E.
Sorry but the new Style Grand Cherokee looks like 💩
Agreed
Roblox ah cars fr. Wish they stayed wit the hawk look a bit more
Jeep doesn't want to build any more gas guzzlers like yours. 4XE's are the future.
Because we have a green new deal Tyranical goverment, and hold on ,all of our loved muscle cars with v8s will soon be cancelled
ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ
My guess is simple. They don't sell many 80 grand high horsepower suvs. Duh. Our country is fucked, gas is going through the roof.
Sold my 2015 SRT for 55k 🤌🏾
How many miles if you don’t mind asking
