Ordered a 2015 Trail Hawk

[Lead Pipe]

So the GF wanted a new car and her's was pretty much a pile of crap when it came off the assembly line (2007 Dodge Caliber w/CVT) so it's no surprise my Escape has held up better despite having twice the miles.

Originally she was looking at a Dart or Avenger but we stumbled across the Trail Hawk. I have always been impressed with these little SUV's and I think they look pretty cool. I know it's love or hate with these things but the TH makes the new Cherokee look badass IMO. After test driving both the V6 and the I4 it was a no brainer.

We ordered a Mango Tango V6 Trail Hawk from Antioch Jeep last Saturday. Should here in 8-12 weeks. We got it for below invoice and traded in the Caliber. I can't wait to hit some trails next spring. Youtube the Trail Hawk, they are pretty capable trail rigs.

Anyways it looks identical to this one.

Sweet Isuzu bro.

Sweet We have one as a long-term tester and they knocked about $3k off the price without even asking. Many of the problems we've encountered have simply been an issue with early production, plus being a four-cylinder We've had numerous transmission flashes and I just updated the Uconnect software that fixed a horrible backup camera.

My Mom shopped this hard. Ended up with an Acura RDX.

Just couldn't get past it is the "same thing" as the 18k junk you see everywhere.

I hope it treats you well. The trans is terrifying. I want to like it but that butter face....

Looks nice. I just cannot get used to that front end though. Especially the headlights.

 

[Spivitz]

Nice purchase, I'm sure you will enjoy it

Complains about previous car being a pile right off the assembly line and buys another car brand new from the same maker....well done.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Because a 2007 and 2015 are comparable.... :rollseyes:

 

[Great White Drake]

That's the best looking version I've seen of that car.

Sweet Isuzu bro.

Dat 7 bar grille doe

 

[School Boy]

I dig it.

3.2 V6 ?

 

[FrenchLicker]

The only downside I think is the interior room, other than that it's great on paper and has potential.

 

[Lead Pipe]

3.2 V6 ?

Yup

It does look neat but I think jeep did the Cherokee name wrong by making it a transverse engine vehicle . But if it does get almost 30 mpg the trade off is ok . Most people don't use suv's off road anyways .

What type of 4x4 option did she get I think there's a few .

the TH package really makes the new cherokee look great. love that color too, congrats!

 

[EmersonHart13]

the TH package really makes the new cherokee look barely tolerable. love that color too, congrats!

Dat pentastar V6 though.

I hate the looks but cant beat a fuel efficient V6 that makes 300hp

its actually a pretty neat 4x4 system... completely FWD (basically a PTO setup for the rear driveshaft that couples and uncouples from the trans) until you lock in 4x4 - then it can send 90% of the power to the rear wheels - has hill decent assist and all the other cool offroad shit!

Nice buy!

Looks awesome!

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

im on the hate said. i love the new grand cherokees though, either way, congrats.

Picked it up last Thursday. It's a cool little truck. Drives awesome, comfortable and has more than enough power. I'd love to try it out at the badlands or Silver Lake dunes next spring. I like it and the lady loved it. Win/win. Start/Stop is gay though. I turn it off every time I drive it.
