2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk at Akins Dodge Chrysler Jeep

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk ushers into 2018 a 6.2L engine with a top speed of 180 mph and that goes a 1/4 mile in 11.6 seconds at 116 mph! Partnered up to a special-tuned TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, it is basically an unstoppable force-- if it weren't for the largest Brembo brakes in a Jeep so far! The 2018 Trackhawk seats up to five people and will be instantly recognizable by the "Trackhawk" badge on liftgate. The 645 lb.-ft. of torque and 707-horsepower engine was derived from the well-known Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's engine, but Jeep engineers took great pains to match the Trackhawk models correlating parts up to that level! The Trackhawk gets two of its own exclusive colors: Rhino and Redline 2, and shares the other seven with the other models of the Grand Cherokee. This is a vehicle that easily competes equally in excitement and capability-- Let's check it out further here!

What are some features besides the amazing powertrain?

This vehicle has a distinctive 4-tip exhaust on the back, and up front, there is an air-channeling redesigned fascia. It brings a racing-derived cabin into the mix, as well as a Gloss Black rear valance, twenty-inch titanium wheels, wheel flares, SRT-tuned electric rack & pinion steering, and paddle shifters on a flat-bottom 3-spoke steering wheel. Overall cargo volume gets up to 68.3 cu.-ft. and that means the nineteen-speaker Harman Kardon high-fidelity sound system will sound great, even with the purchasable dual-pane panoramic sunroof open. A Trackhawk-exclusive Performance Pages shows up and assists the driver with real-time information and read-outs. Don't miss the Signature Leather Interior Package in all Black (optional Black/Dark Ruby Red), or any of the other standalone options on premium levels, like the available dual-screen rear-seat entertainment center with Blu-ray, and Trackhawk-badged Berber floormats!

How is the Trackhawk model redesigned to bring power and speed reliably to the driver?

There are numerous reasons why that happens! Starting with the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, shifting into and out of gears is made very smooth. The transmission also works hard to provide a new high-torque capability and simultaneously has an accelerated shift response. The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk then employs a supercharged 6.2-L V8 with 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. Mentionable here is the standard Launch Control which aligns the transmission, engine, driveline, and suspension for predictable straight-line acceleration. A 2,380cc per revolution supercharger with an integrated electronic bypass valve is one of many enhancements that Jeep has installed to maintain the Trackhawk models power, as well as 1-way clutch de-coupler, and special-coated twin-screw rotors. The cast-iron engine has cold water jackets in the middle of the cylinders, augmented forged-alloy pistons, high-temp rated steel-alloy exhaust valves (up to 1,652 Fahrenheit), and a forged-steel crankshaft with induction-hardened bearing surfaces (up to 1,600 psi). This adds up to quite the engine, but, even better, a capable supporting cast for the star of the show. Continuing that theme are the double high-flow & multi-mode fuel pumps, a high-capacity oil/air heat exchanger, and Trackhawk-only transmission programming. A beefed-up rear drive shaft meets up with a new, rugged rear axle and in the new transfer case, a wider chain works in tandem with forged steel chain sprockets to further deliver durability.

Is it comfortable as well as capable?

There is a Quadra-Trac 4WD system within the Trackhawk for excellence in the traction category. A Bilstein adaptive dampening suspension makes its welcome appearance, and there is a new four-point axle mounting schematic for spreading the weight out evenly. Towing capacity weighs in at an excellent 7,200 pounds of pulling power! With a 60-0 mph braking performance of 114 feet, you will notice how well the largest front brakes yet (15.75") put into a Jeep vehicle work! The full-time 4WD Trackhawk model's Selec-Track system specifically has five drive modes: Sport, Snow, Track, Auto, & Tow. This system folds in a Custom component too, which further correlates the systems together. These Modes easily bring comfort and capable choices to the driver, and the suspension is such a high-grade that the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is starting from a great place regardless!
