True ( hydro) Blue with No complaints!!
I’ve been a jeep fan for over 10 yrs now. I’ve owned nothing but suvs ...4 so far totaling 450k miles . . My last jeep was an 04 overland (wj) which I kinda still miss..... at was a beast ... powerful and unknowingly quick ( 0-60 6.7 sec) but it was getting old (183k miles and owned it’s for 10 yrs ) and not worth fixing. There wasn’t any way I wasn’t gonna get another suv. Did my research... trailhawk was decided. With 19k miles on it already with both highway and city miles ,it’s still a lovely place to be in and I admire it every time I walk up to it to get in. I haven’t been off road yet but do plan to do so ASAP. I opted for the v6 due to the newness/swift introduction of the turbo 4 without too many tested miles in the jeep. Although it has been tested in Europe thru fiat .... I just wasn’t comfortable. I thoroughly enjoy the trailhawk in all aspects. The look , the color ( hydro blue) and reliability (which I was concerned with before my leasing )handling ( very smooth over bumps , city driving and highway driving, ergonomics, seats , dashboard etc .... simply said it everything works and it’s a more than comfortable environment to be in. It’s slightly more efficient than that monster high output premium gas preferred 4.7 v8 in the overland although not as quick/powerful. It’s fast enough to get you a ticket lol. I especially like the auto stick which I do use often. Like other reviews for the Cherokee the 9 speed transmission can be a little laggy and slow to find the right gear you need to pass but that is solved with the auto stick. I’ve gotten up to 26/27 mpg on highway being very nice to the pedal. My only complaints are 1) it’s a little smaller than I’m use to 2) the gas tank is only 15.8 gallons 3) the gas tank door doesn’t lock ... smh really ?? . Coming from a “ road dawg “ that has over a million miles of driving all sorts of vehicles , I give the trailhawk a thumbs up and It’s a vehicle worth checking into.

2019 Jeep Cherookee Latitude Plus
We ultimately decided to get the Cherokee Latitude Plus edition with the 3.2L VR with the cold weather option. We have had our Cherokee for about 2 months and we absolutely love it. We traded in our 2014 Chevy Equinox and the drive quality is night and day different. Acceleration is very responsive and the own road ride quality is fantastic while minor offroad ride quality is very good as well. The Cherokee has less interior storage space than our old Equinox, but the leg room in the front and back seats are much (much) better. The uConnect system is one of the nicest interfaces we have ever seen on any car we have owned. Last but not least, the overall build quality is very good overall. We have driven 1,001 miles in 2 months with about an even mix of city and hiway driving. So far we have seen a combined 24 MPG, but the best we have seen with city driving is 20.5 MPG and 28 with hiway driving. We simply love our Cherokee and unless Jeep really messes something up we definately see another Jeep in our future. There are a few items we wish we had been aware of including the following. 1. The base model does not come with a spare tire and only has a tire inflation and flat fix kit. You can upgrade to a mini spare tire as an option or you can get a full size tire if you get the tow package or you can order a full size tire after purchase from Jeep as a kit. The spare tire area is actually very cool as you can remove a couple inserts depending on the option (either 2 inserts or 1) to accomidate a full size spare after purchase. 2. If you expect at any time in the future to add a hitch, spend the extra $800 and get the tow option before purchasing. The tow option comes with a larger engine and transmission cooler and includes the rear facia with the tow opening along with the hitch and wiring harness. If you want to add this after purchase you have to order the hitch, wiring harness and facia and together they cost more than $800 and you don't get the larger engine and transmission cooling options. 3. If you want navigation and SiriusXM Guardian you have to get the uConnect with the larger 8.4 inch screen. We are actually glad we did not pay the extra $1499,00 for the larger uConnect system simply because both uConnect options come with Apple and Android Auto and at least with Andriod any ways the navigation is redundant. We use Waze on our phones which works remarkably well and after looking at the uConnect Sirius navigation option we prefer the later as with both Waze and Google Maps the maps are updated more frequently. The only real option we could see to getting the navigation option was the speed warning feature, but we have heard from several people in the Jeep forums that they have had issues with the speed limits not being updated in the nav system so they ended up turning the feature off. Just to be clear the smaller uConnect does have SiriusXM Radio just not the NAV and SiriusXM Guardian. Just do you home work before you purchase as there are several trim levels and options available.

Not Elite So far
We picked up our 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elite on Wednesday, August 1st. Had to take it back to the dealer on August 3rd for intermittent airbag alerts and dash light illumination along with some other intermittent traction control light gremlins. Service department told us that the they'd probably not be able to provide a loaner/rental for a car that had about 120 miles on it but that it needed to stay with them in the name of safety as the airbags may not deploy if there were to be an accident. Needless to say, that did not go over well. They did end up providing us another Trailhawk Elite after some discussions. The issues had to be taken to the engineers at Chrysler for their "expertise" based on the codes that had been generated and stored. As of last night there is still no resolution with more info to come today. For their sake, I hope the news I get today is better and that I am not the one pulling the info from them as I had to do yesterday. I am stunned that this is from a dealership that I have personally bought four cars from now and referred one or two people that have bought cars there. It looks like maybe a new relationship with a different dealer may be in order if this does not get fixed promptly. We have another dealer that is way closer to my house than the current one. Looks like I may need to familiarize myself with the Ohio lemon law rules but lets hope it does not come to that.

Off Road Prowess w/o giving up On Road Civility
I went in for a Wrangler Rubicon JL but ended up driving away with the 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk. The Cherokee Trailhawk just made more sense for me day to day with just enough off-road capability to venture to my list of remote camping destinations. What sold me was the strong cost value and on-road refinement ..... it comes with a lot of standard features that I wanted i.e. the 8.4" Uconnect with Android Auto, full LED lighting, Low range with a Rear locking diff (which even the base Wranglers do not come with), rails to mount my roof tent. All of the other standard features are just icing all of which I still appreciate. Its just a great all around SUV that is priced right when you factor in the mfr. incentives. Do I still want a JL Rubicon???? Of course! The Wrangler JL Rubicon is the best off-roader but its mission in life comes with some compromises that I just couldn't ignore this time around with it being my only transportation. The Cherokee is extremely quiet and refine with a luxury car like ride and is still off-road capable enough to fit my needs. I ended up selecting the V6 over the Turbo 4 for its smoother & linear pedal modulation off road and history in service plus it just sounds better. No doubt the turbo 4 feels a little quicker but the slight turbo lag is noticeable. Anyone considering a good all around off-road vehicle should definitely look into the 2019 Trailhawk version (the updated model year). I think you will walk away impressed as I did. My only complaint thus far is the transmission calibration. It always wants to shift to a tall gear to maximize fuel economy which I get but c'mon. Its super frustrating especially when you are cruising up and down hills (highway); never in the correct gear to drive smoothly and maintain a certain pace. I end up having to shift manually or put it in Sport mode but a pain never the less.

my midlife crisis vehicle!
i have had my trailhawk elite for 2 months and it has been great. taken it on road trips and the miles melt away. quiet, smooth, and fun. took it camping and proved to be an excellent vehicle for the job. it handled the off road just as advertised,making my mind dream of taking it into even more extreme conditions. for those wondering about traveling with more than one passengers, just got back from a festival that i took 4 adults plus myself driving over 2 hrs each way. everyone was impressed with the ride. i have encountered one hiccup so far that i feel is important to point out. while camping my wife shut the auto liftgate and failed to notice a small nylon strap from our bags was near the latch. it jammed the liftgate quite impressively requiring an emergency trip to a dealer as the interior lights would not turn off and would drain the battery if not running. seems like a problem that should be remedied given what the vehicle is intended to be used for. so rember to pack the back carefully. in all i am highly satisfied with my purchase which i refer to as my mid-life crisis vehicle. i am actually looking forward to the upcoming winter here in Buffalo and that is saying something!
