I like videos like this, fun to see what stuff that isn’t on the top end can do sometimes!

I am 84 years of age and own a 2018 Trailhawk. It is difficult for me to get into the bigger SUV’s and dedicated 4-wheelers. But for me and my normal off-roading this vehicle is perfect. Took a trip to Yellowstone Park last weekend and averaged 30.6 mpg, then it dropped to 30.3. I go where I want to go and this thing does what I want it to. It has more road noise than I would like but I can live with that! Great review!

I have a 2019 KL Cherokee Trailhawk. I was out off-roading with other KL Trailhawks and we had a Renegade TH that joined us. That lil' spud went everywhere we did with no problem, and even had an easier time in some places because it was smaller. We all gave it more Respect after that trip!

[husshardan]

Really impressive, and it still looks great after all these years. Does not look dated at all. Crazy that it has more ground clearance and underbody protection than the new Toyota LandCruiser.

110k on my 2017 and no issues, removable my sky panels, full skid plates, decent 1st gear, mid 20’s mpg.

I was the only one on the road in this thing in harsh winters getting it. It was a horribly misunderstood and under appreciated vehicle. The torque management with a 1.5 inch lift and bigger than the stock traihawk tires made this thing the most capable subcompact vehicle of its time. Once you stop comparing it to a Wrangler is when it shines.

TFLs original Renegade videos are what actually pushed me to go pick up my '16 Trailhawk. The addition of a 1.5" lift and it goes basically anywhere other than rock crawling. It's very interesting seeing them revisit it with Tommy. It's a more than capable off-roader and has been reliable so far.

People trash talk this but I feel it was a great vehicle for taking off the beaten path and it’s a shame Jeep has done away with it. Off road angles are up there with a Wrangler

[yissibiiyte]

Arguably the most off-road worthy compact crossover ever made. It is definitely worthy of the Jeep badge.

8:45 I agree with you, Tommy. The problem with Subaru is the CVT transmission. The Jeep Renegade proves that a vehicle with a non-CVT trans. & proper gearing is far superior for off-roading even with a small engine.

My cousin owns one and he bragged that he could haul his 3 kids around safely, while not worrying too much about getting stuck. Guess it depends on the driver's needs

I'm impressed by this Renegade Trailhawk. Seems pretty capable.

Most trails are not even a challenge for a wrangler. Just a drive in the park. But with the renegade you have to work for it so you get a challenge. I have a power wagon and most times it’s just boring. It just crawls over everything. I also have a Compass Trailhawk and I have much more fun doing trails with it cause it’s a challenge. Took it up Imogene in Colorado no problem. Ophir pass no problem. Much more fun doing trails with something that makes you work a little for it.
Makes that Jeep badge a little sweeter!😂

I bought my 2018 Renegade Trailhawk brand-new. Still have it and I love it. I’ve had it off-road in the mountains here in West Virginia. It’s deceivingly tough.

[ojbarberena]

You need to do the same trail in a 2024 compass

[thedefinitive]

The Fiat Panda is actually a decently capable off roader from what I've seen and I've seen these Renegades tackle similar stuff to some Subarus. Especially with the tiny turbo engine, it's a pretty compelling package if you want a "Jeep" without having to live with a JEEP!

[spyder]

This would have been a good opportunity to put it up against a Bronco Sport Badlands.

[MultiPurposeReviewer]

It was never intended to compete with the Wrangler (why would it?). It was designed to be a compact, efficient, affordable vehicle that could comfortable carry a full family while also holding its own off road. It did all of those things right from the start (I remember when it first came out, the price started with a 1, and the fuel economy started with a 3), and this entire video is you describing elements of it that helped it do all those things, and how it does them well. Like you said, once you look at it through the right lens, it's actually quite a good car. It's always been in the top 2 or 3 cars that I would buy myself.

[TJYK]

I love these trailhawk videos. Coming from someone who wheels a TJ wrangler, i would love one of these to take on some trails and just have fun.
CALL IT THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER!

[katobb]

It's already doing better than the new Tacoma! 😂
