    Default 2014 Jeep TrailHawk ?

    Hey guys, any educated input on the Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk? Thinking of getting one! Please pardon me if this has already been a discussion on the forums but I did search for it.....and Im a Newbie! Thinking of getting the 3.2 V6 winter package and Uconnect? Your input is much appreciated!

    Just looked it up, 9 speed auto tranny sounds interesting, looks comfy. With that said, I see nothing "trail" about it. Personally the only real Jeep still produced is the Wrangler. I suppose it depends on your intended use, if you are just seeking a smooth comfy DD it may be perfect, but I wouldn't take that where I take my Tacoma. Sorry no educated response from me, only opinion.

    Thanks for the feed back Hurley, Jeep does clarify it as "TrailRated"...but with better mpg with the 9 speed. I wont be doing any hardcore climbing with it.....but I could if I wanted to : )

    You do realize "TrailRated" is nothing more than marketing, right?

    As long as you're not doing anything more than a dirt road to the trail head your ok, but if you're gonna wheel, get a wrangler.

    Well I hope it can do a little more than a dirt road to the trail head but we will see! Not looking for a Wrangler as this will also be my travel vehicle....I grew up In Wyoming and travel there often!

    I've seen Outbacks do some decent trails but I still wouldn't expect much out of this new Cherokee. Personally if I was going to get a new SUV, I'd get something that was proven. An Xterra or 4Runner come to mind. They could handle decent trails and still do very well on the highway. Your highway mileage won't be 31 but you also won't be driving a giant penis.

    But if it's a TrailRated Giant penis is it ok?

    Only if you saved the coin and bought the badges online. I might have a couple badges somewhere around here from my Liberty if he wants them. Hell, my Liberty did better offroad than the new Cherokee will.

    Justify a giant penis anyway you feel necessary. Lol. I'm biased though. I can't believe they badged that thing as a Cherokee.
