I thought this would be a fun video to do and will have to say I did enjoy thinking through what all I really like about my 2015 KL Trailhawk. A couple things I could have mentioned that I really like are the true 4X4 Low range. It's doesn't use the transmission to just gear it down but actually locks into 4X4. Also the rear locking differential can come in really useful and both of these are things that only the Cherokee Trailhawk, in it's class, has. I also really have fun with the different drive modes. All in all their is a lot to like about the KL Trailhawk.

@dave5176 2 года назад

#1, is gonna be size. Wait, I guess that's #5. Blooper! Anyway we have a 2017, and the size is great, but I'm 6'3" tall, and it's really hard to get into it. We also have a 2006 Liberty, and it's really smaller, but the door opening is way easier for me to get into. One problem was an O ring failure on the oil cooler under the intake on the engine, which I had to fix myself because the mechanics at Jeep didn't let us know about the problem and the warranty ran out. Otherwise, we love our Jeeps.

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

thanks for your review. I just bought a 2017 today. I agree with your 5 likes. I looked at the rubicons and wranglers, wasn't wowed, asked the salesman is that all, anything else? he said I have one more you may like. I liked it a lot, bought it. looking forward to some great rides. wife and I are retired, towing it behind our rv home, hope to take it all to Alaska next year. I liked the balanced combination of luxury/comfort/style and off road ability, think it does well in all areas. and the price was much better than the others. thanks again

@JDS-Dalton 3 года назад

I don't have a cherokee, but I have a competitors crossover that directly competes with the cherokee that a lot of people take off road as well, and I like mine for pretty much the same reasons. Also love getting all the looks from people in wranglers, 4runners, and pickups in general with huge lifts and massive tires while I'm on the same trails as them haha. Just wish mine had a little more power, only got a 4 cylinder, but it works!

@spkuse 3 года назад

I’m 6-2 and fit great in the KL. The only pain is getting in due to the door frame is slanted more. I have to bend down more than say, a Wrangler. The V6 has great power. Put it in Sport Mode and you will really fly. If you have a family I would opt for a Grand Cherokee instead. With my 2 Pugs it is fine for what I need. Comfort, handling, entertainment center are top notch. Only mods I’ve done with mine is a K&N performance air box, an MFC Offroad 2 inch lift kit, and a Magnaflow exhaust. .

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

I agree completely. I sometimes wish I had a Grand Cherokee due to having a family of 5. For now we make it work but eventually it'll be to small for all of us to run around in.

@dano7145 2 года назад

I really enjoyed this video, especially because you have clearly put the Cherokee through its paces over an extended period of time...and in a variety of applications. You've made some excellent points. But with that said, I'm surprised you didn't comment on the Jeep's toughness and reliability, which has to be a big priority for someone like you, who obviously demands a lot from his vehicles. Also, I'm a guy who prefers buying American-made vehicles OR at least those made with extensive amounts of North-American-made parts. A few years ago, Car&Driver Magazine reported that the current-generation Jeep Cherokee contains the highest percentage of North-American parts of ANY vehicle. That would be a HUGE bragging point for me!

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I didn't put reliability as one mainly because I'd want to be closer to 200,000 miles before I give it that stamp. It's been extremely reliable up to this point but that's really kind of my mark for determining overall longterm reliability. I definitely plan on pushing it over that mark. I agree with you on wanting an American made vehicle and move the fact that Jeep is mostly American made. Appreciate your comments and I definitely could have mentioned both.

@TheRogerhill1234 3 года назад

Hey man. Great content! Keep up the good work. On your Falken Wildpeaks are you running E load range? I did the MFC 2” lift on mine recently and still running stock size BFG KO 2’s which are D load rated. I wanted to go up one inch in size to a 245/70r17 and was thinking of the Falkens, which are available in XL or E load. I would prefer the XL because it is much lighter. Have you noticed any wear on the CV’s or other components with the larger and heavier tires?

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

I went with the lighter. I wanted to keep the weight down on mine. So far I have not been disappointed. I haven't noticed any wear on anything yet. I had the tires off and was inspecting it all and didn't see any issues.

I would say the only reason why I can't buy one and how it just can't really be a great SUV, is the hard fact that it is a Fiat....yikes! Iffy build quality, parts and reliability are the biggest fears with anything Fiat. Otherwise I am glad yours has been good to you and hope it continues for years to come. I do like the looks of it and have a great interest in it but, if it were just American made, had a solid rear axle, or at least at a minimum sway bar disconnects, locking diffs, under belly skid plates, and wasn't a Fiat it would be the greatest SUV ever? But no, we all know Jeep won't do that, they just can't give buyers what they really want

I am contemplating between 2022/2023 Cherokee trail hawk or Rav4 xse or Trd offroad 2022/2023 I like the rav4 a lot because they run forever and gas saving, but I don’t think it’s fully capable to go off-road . What tire pressure do you air down the tires, and when to?

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

Yeah I'd say the Trailhawk is more capable especially with the rear locker and a true 4x4 low. But the rav 4 can still do a lot. I air down to 18psi and I do it anytime I get on a trail. Even if its mostly a dirt trail ill air down. It makes a huge differance in the ride quality.

@antoniojimenez7103 2 года назад

Great review. I have 2014 Cherokee Lattitude 4x4 and love it. I do have a question though...I paid of my Cherokee and must admit I am enjoying not having a car payment. I do wish I had more ground clearance. Can I do a suspension lift (say two inches) so I can clear more obstacles as I tend to go off road when doing landscape photography. I invested in some TOYO Open Country II /AT tires that really compliment the 4X4 system on my Cherokee. I am just looking for ground clearance. Or should I bite the bullet and get a Trailhawk? Your advice is appreciated.

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

Glad you liked it! You definitely have some options. As for lifting it you could go with Hazard Sky, MFC Offroad or Rough Country. Basically the same with little difference. If you want to get the best ride quality with your lift I'd recommend checking out gleaming-alloy.com and check out the Stilettos. I just installed a set and it's been a big improvement over my HS lift.

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

I've seen plenty of latitudes that have been lifted and modified. They seem to do really good. So as for buying a Trailhawk I don't think it's a have to. You do get some added off road goodies but if you aren't doing extreme off roading you shouldn't need it.

You've got a couple options on the lighting issue. You can upgrade the head lights to LED's or add something like pod lights or light bar. The LED's are your best bet. You can get them from MFC offroad. I've heard some of the other options off Amazon can end up throwing an error code. I haven't done anything with my headlights yet but I'll probably eventually add the LED's.

Overall I've heard a mixed bag from people. Some have gone over 200,xxx miles with zero issues and some say they've had nothing but issues. For me I've been happy with the reliability of my Cherokee. 103,xxx miles in now with one repair. Hope that helps.

Great video!, I am thinking about buying a 2017 Trailhawk. What do you think about reliability of the engine and transmission? Have you ever had any problems? Thank you a lot.

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

Thanks! I've got the 2015 and I haven't had any transmission or engine issues. From everything I've heard the 2017's are solid. The main transmission issues were in the 2014 models and early 2015 models. I'm at 111,xxx miles at this point and very happy with mine.

I think my biggest complaint about the KL was the headlights. I have the 2014 Limited. The headlights are way too low and when driving a country highway at night, the lights just don't do as good of a job as my 2012 KK Liberty ( which I also still have and still love).

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

Yeah I totally agree. I prefer the look with the headlights lower but the lights are terrible.

@fisidave 3 года назад

Yep, I'll agree. It's a good look, maybe I just need a light bar ( j/k).

We have the 19 TH, after an accident took out our 14 TH. We also had a 98 XJ with 304,000 miles till it literally rusted out. The TH is my wife's. The 09 KK is our Jeep. The Liberty is an overlooked Jeep. While not off road warriors, we have it the trails in Colorado and UT. Both the TH and Liberty are just solid vehicles. We have owned 5 Jeeps over the last 20 years, but not a Wrangler.

Just bought a 2020 Trail Hawk. Hooking my 1959 Shata Airflyte Camper to it and going across the US to California. Has anyone used thiers pulling a camper?

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

I haven't but I've seen people pulling a lot of different types of trailers with them. Sounds like a fun trip.

@sharonh5399 2 года назад

There is a Trailhawk Facebook Group. Lots pulling small campers. I have a hitch on mine, but haven't pulled anything.

Dependability? Like the video, would like to know how reliable, I've heard negative things about that

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

Mines been great along with most. I think its like most vehicles. The ones that have issues talk loudest if you will. The 14's did have a lot of transmission issues but they fixed that.

@SST11B Год назад

Late comment, but I'm on year five with my KL ('19 bought in '18). The PTU crapped out at 15k miles, warranty repaired and not one issue since. 70k miles now. Been a good rig on and off road.

Great video! Just recently bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk. I'm from St. Louis, MO. Wondering if you could send me in the right direction for a couple of beginner trails and intermediate trails? Thanks in advance!

@MootsKLAdventure 2 года назад

Thanks and congrats! I'd recommend you check out sms Overland Facebook group. I know they run trails closer to you. If you check out some of my trail videos in the Mark Twain playlist those are down by Chadwick. Glade Top trail is a great place to start which is south of Bradleyville.

what is the name of the roof rack? where to buy one?

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

I'm using the Yakima Load Warrior rack. You can buy it on Amazon. I put a link to it in the description of the video if you want to check it out. I have a video on installing the rack as well if you want to check that out. One of my earliest video's so probably not my best stuff.

wheels got up without modification? or is there suspension tuning?

In order to fit that size tire I added the Hazard Sky 2inch lift,, cut back the pinch weld and then heat the front wheel well fender and molded it back. No suspension tuning.

Great video I just bought a 2015 trail hawk with 70,000 miles I was just wondering if you had any transmissions issues I saw that people have issues with that, I didn’t know if that’s something that I should look for in the future?

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

Thanks! I haven't had any transmission issues. Its not the smoothest in the lowest gears but that just seems to be normal for these transmissions. I've heard of people having issues with the 14's mainly. But I'm not any more worried about this transmission than any other vehicle I've owned.

@jims3147 3 года назад

Ok thank you that makes me feel better! Also did you put the decals on the front fenders or did that come factory with the vehicle?

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

I added those. You can get them at several places. I've got an Amazon link in the description to them. I've also seen them on Hazard Sky's website and I think on etsy. I love the way they look.

Hi,I enjoyed ur video...I have a 2018 jeep cherokee trailhawk as well and I love it,I have had it for 3 years and have round 23,000 miles on it,I dont drive much just to work and round town.Have u had any problems with ur rack and pinion? Mine went bad at 21,000 miles(which is a bit upsetting)and I am super easy on my jeep. I have never had it on the trails either,I want to some day.i live in ohio so at least once in the winter time we get quite a bit of snow and it does great in the snow but I have them really aggressive tires on it. Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for the video and u have some cute kids.😀

@MootsKLAdventure 3 года назад

Really appreciate it! Sorry to hear about your rack and pinion issue. I haven't had any problems , knock on wood. I put a lot of miles on it and I've had it on a lot of trails without any issues yet. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I'm pretty fond of our little guys!
