A Passive Renegade Workhorse
While the Trailhawk has capability, it's best use is suburban and not for urban or rural living. Engine appears to run hot but according to gages, it is normal. The transmission is noisy and sluggish on shifting and acceleration. Gas milage is only fair. Cargo capacity is very limited. The full size spare tire is a excellent attribute. GPS option and Sirius radio option are recommended. Backup lights are of poor illumination and higher intensity of LED lights throughout the vehicle, including interior,are recommended.

I've owned many jeeps and Jags, Porsches, etc...
I bought a 2017 Renegade Desertawk. The Deserthawk isn't on the Jeep menu with Edmunds. So I am reviewing the Trailhawk mostly the same but the Deserthawk has a few more features. I prefered. The rene will crawl rocks, take you to town, cruise the highway, work, riding desert sand dunes or getting dirty in mud. I sold my Rubicon it was not comfortable enough and the confort features were missing. That's the true rugged. In the rene I have it all. I can rock crawl on weekends to the beats premium sound. it rides nice. Turning is tight. Take off the roof panels enjoy the sun. I have the touch screen for navigation, media, everything. Lots of room in cargo area in back. Back seats fold down makes for great interior space. This for me replaced the wonderful Jeep Liberty. Fewer downsides, gas mileage isn't great. I'm getting on average 17 to the gallon. The engine is peppy. I don't feel low power but when I hard accelerate it sucks gas. Stay off the pedal more and fuel consumption about 20. It's heavy and my tires are on the larger side adds weight. We love Jeeps because of the incredible range to build our own design. The real gem is affordable fun!! These are catching on sort went unnoticed. I suspect costs could go up on used. There are rene clubs on facebook for support and share. Jeep is a culture with cool people of all ages. The Jeep brand is a social community.

Never buy another Jeep!!!
At the time of purchase the sales guy told me this Jeep was GREAT on gas because i drive 50 plus miles a day i need something good on gas! This can’t be further from the truth!! Not only do i have to fill up twice a week, my family and I took our first road trip 950 miles and we had to stop and fill up at least 24 times!!! I can’t even begin to tell you how much time we wasted doing this. Per the specs on this car we are supposed to get a out 32 miles a gallon, we were lucky to even get 18 (and we just had a system upgrade because it was shifting hard). I am truly sadden that i am stuck with this thing
