Wow, I forgot all about this thing. Funny, when it first showed up we were are like
Now, I gotta admit, it works. It makes the one it replaced look super dull. |

While it is pretty capable for a CUV, 100% agreed about the "articulation". The Cherokee definitely relies on the computer a ton because it spends very little time with all 4 wheels even having the option of traction. |

Came across a M-plated Tailhawk a month or so ago in Ann Arbor. Exterior is ugly as sin- the red tow hooks remind me of ricers who leave track day recovery points in all the time. Interior is sharp looking and I do like seeing the terrain control trickling down to commonly priced models.

No V6? I'd rather have a RAV.

A fully loaded Trailhawk is close to $40k. That's a few grand more than a fully loaded Forester XT Touring. I'm hesitant to spend that kind of loot on a crossover that may be worth crap in a few years. Especially a new model.
Might be better off with a used Grand Cherokee Limited. Only downside is mpg in GC is 19/24 while Trailhawk is 22/29. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Trim Level Breakdown Prices for the all-new Jeep Cherokee were recently released, highlighting its competitive place in the segment when it goes on sale later this summer. The crossover is similar in size to the Chevrolet Equinox. That makes it larger than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4s of the world, but smaller than midsizers like the Ford Edge and Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's priced similarly to the smaller crossovers as well. Like most new models of any stripe introduced lately, there's a fair amount of standard equipment on base Cherokees. However, base Cherokees will have items like black door handles and side mirrors that could force many to move up a grade. Find out what each trim level delivers for the price below. All prices include a $995 destination fee. *Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x2: $23,990 *Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4: $25,990 Basics: The Sport comes with a 184-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, nine-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch steel wheels, cloth seats, height adjustment, power windows with one-touch down for driver, armrest, cruise control, vanity mirrors with lights and those black door handles and side mirrors. Interior & Tech: A six-speaker stereo is standard along with Chrysler's Uconnect system with a 5-inch touch-screen, Bluetooth connectivity, USB input and SD card reader. Misc: LED running lights in front and taillights in back are also standard. A cargo management system with a tote is an unusual standard item included in base Cherokees. Options: You need to pay extra for a backup camera, 17-inch alloy wheels and Cold Weather or Trailer-tow packages. *Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x2: $25,490 *Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: $27,490 Basics: You get everything from the Sport model plus niceties like body-colored side mirrors and door handles. Roof rails, tinted glass, fog lamps, 17-inch aluminum wheels and a compact spare tire are also lumped into the Latitude grade. Interior & Tech: A leather-wrapped steering wheel and ambient LED interior lighting liven up the interior. Misc: The nifty in-seat storage compartment found in other Chrysler vehicles is also included in the Latitude's fold-flat front passenger seat. Options: More power can be added to the Latitude with the optional 271-hp, 3.2-liter V-6. Other options include an upgraded multimedia system with an 8.4-inch touch-screen and a 506-watt nine-speaker stereo with a subwoofer. A panoramic sunroof and the Cold Weather, Comfort/Convenience and Trailer-tow packages also will cost extra. *Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x2: $28,990 *Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4: $30,990 Basics: The Limited is the high-end version, so standard equipment includes everything from the Latitude plus heated power leather seats, a heated steering wheel, 18-inch aluminum wheels, automatic headlamps and dual-zone climate control. Interior & Tech: Keyless entry and push-button start, 7-inch digital gauge cluster, 8.4-inch touch-screen stereo with six speakers, a backup camera and remote start are a healthy group of features for this amount of money. Misc: Puddle lamps, auto-dim rearview mirror, universal garage door opener and even a cargo net are nice to have, too. Options: The Limited trim's available features are similar to the Latitude's offerings in almost all respects, including the optional 3.2-liter V-6. Navigation can be added to the standard 8.4-inch touch-screen as can the 506-watt nine-speaker stereo with a subwoofer. A panoramic sunroof and Cold Weather, Comfort/Convenience and Trailer-tow packages will still cost extra. Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4x4: $30,490 Basics: The Trailhawk is an off-road trim level that adds equipment to the Latitude list, but not the Limited model. Standard items for off-roading enthusiasts include a 4x4 system, off-road wheel flares, red tow hooks, skid plates, off-road suspension, a 1-inch increase in ride height, heavy-duty engine cooling, hill start assist and hill descent control, 17-inch aluminum wheels with black pockets and all-terrain tires. Interior & Tech: A leather-trimmed cloth interior, 7-inch digital gauge cluster, 8.4-inch touch-screen stereo with six speakers, backup camera and remote start aren't forgotten. Misc: Because the Trailhawk is for off-roading, Jeep revised the front and rear bumpers to allow for more aggressive approach and departure angles of 29.8 and 32.1 degrees, respectively. Total ground clearance is 8.7 inches. Options: Extras are the same as the Limited's offerings with the optional 3.2-liter V-6. Navigation can be added to the standard 8.4-inch touch-screen as can the 506-watt nine-speaker stereo with a subwoofer. A panoramic sunroof and Cold Weather, Comfort/Convenience and Trailer-tow packages will still cost extra. The matte black hood decal you've seen in many photos is also an added extra. And if you like to off-road in style, there's a Leather Interior options package. |

I like it better than the Crosstrek and people around here seem to go gaga over those.

While I do like my XV, my old 89' Cherokee with 4.0 was sold with 400,000 miles on it and still running. It was a damn nice little 4x4. This new fwd-based thing, well, its just sad. I've had way more jeeps than subaru's, but it looks like Jeep are just digging their own grave to me.

Initially I thought it was absolutely horrendous, however a few months later I acutally think it looks pretty good (mostly the TrailHawk).
I've learned to give new cars a few months to sink in before I judge. Especially any exposure in person usually helps. |

This isn't even a Dodge. Its a F*cking Fiat(literally)...... I was very interested in the trailhawk when they announced it until I did the proper research and found that this isn't even close to being a "real jeep". I have to say its so ugly that its awesome looking though.
