I absolutely HATE the non trailhawk models, but the trailhawks look pretty good. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the larger lower grill on the street models something just isn't right

Great video and response to both positives and negatives in this vehicle.  I am an avid outdoorsman and currently have a 2004 Tahoe that has never let me down, but am looking for that next great crossover vehicle that will take me and my grandchildren out to those unexplored spaces to camp and fish. If you have a better feel for another vehicle let me know.  I am subscribing and if you've done the review here of that vehicle let me know.  Many Thanks

Is a jeep Cherokee sport 4x4 technically the same as a trailhawk??

[treblemaker]

Did he really just say that the storage in the passenger seat was perfect for a Glock??

[jedknutson]

it is a proven fact it will not go into 9th unless your nearing 100mph....pathetic. with the right ratios I'm certain a 7spd is all we will ever need.

Pure garbage, I lease a Trailhawk it spends more time in service than it does in my driveway. Transmission changed, front axels and tranny mount changed do to wobble in second gear or turning. Usb panel changed, DOA from day 1. Never again will I Drive a Fiat/Jeep! Can't wait for lease to expire.
