Jeep replied to our information request 2 hours after this video was posted. So here are the verified facts (ignore what they say on their web site, and what you read in other articles.) The Trailhawk does in fact have Quadra-Drive II. The ONLY difference between Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II is that the latter has an electronic limited slip differential. They are otherwise identical. So our reference to QTII with an auto-locker basically describes the current version of QD II. The auto-locker engages in Rock mode.

I love how you explain things, and the editing is spot on with each demonstration. Excellent videos. I honestly didn't know Jeeps were this capable until this video. Best of all, you explain things as they are intended to work with a sprinkle of tasteful opinion.

The anti-fatigue factor of adaptive cruise and lane centering is underrated.

13:30 "you can see living creatures BEFORE you hit them." Well, that's a load off. Always nice to look those critters in the eye before you show them who's boss! (I know he didn't mean it that way, but I still had to back it up and laughed a bit...)

[erwinandfire]

With dealer markups these days pricing is definitely "only a guideline."

Great review! I'll never hit trails as hard as you with my Hybrid Maverick but still look forward to your videos every week

[JCintheBCC]

I appreciate this format of review without overly rehearsed demonstrations: The infotainment is glitchy? Mention it. The 4x4 system is confusing to operate? Show it. The digital dash is weirdly laid-out and not intuitive? Show the confusion. If it's not intuitive to someone like you, with experience on lots of systems in lots of cars, it will confuse most people. Good to know. Keep it up!

Thank you for not getting tired to explain AWD/4WD etc!

When Jeep first showed the redesign, I wasn't that big a fan. But this trailhawk, this I can get behind and I think it looks great!

[rondail]

The 2022 Cherokee Trailhawk is very nice. 2-Row!!! Nice in and out. I like the infotainment is integrated into the dash, not on stay out tombstone.

Nice color combo. I’m glad Trailhawks are keeping the newer SUVs off-road capable.

What an awesome review! I drove one today ( in 2024) and buying this. Loved the comfort from every day city to off road. For snow in the PNW, I’m ready!

Towing capacity is 6200lbs with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and 7200 (or 7400lbs) with the 5.7L HEMI V8.

The WK2 trail hawk is still my favorite looking version, but the interior here is very nice indeed.

[mikemetz]

Really appreciate your expertise and these long form videos. The level of detail is exactly what potential buyers need.

thankyou for testdriving literally every car im looking at

[Rahmane]

I just drove my 2017 grand cherokee overland from fort riley kansas military base to the bronx new york, and it was nothing but reliable i can just imagine the newer models 🔥

So, the Trailhawk has Quadra-Drive 2, which is essentially the Quadra-Trac 2 but with an ELSD. the ELSD is different because it acts as a traditional LSD but can also transfer up to 100% of the torque to either wheel. It’s all automatic, except for shifting into 4LO.

[anthonywarren]

The Trailhawk is by far the best looking trim option on the new GC generation. I wish you could option for the Nappa leather on the seats on the Trailhawk like you could on the WK2 platform. Seems silly Jeep doesn't allow for that anymore, at least currently.

Love these videos As we all learn, not only from what these vehicles are capable of, but also what to do in any situation. That is, from a driver's perspective.. Thanks Ryan.
