First Drive: 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the wildest vehicle on sale, and with good reason. We live in an era of tremendous horsepower and some might think that the most powerful car out there is some top spec exotic like a Lamborghini. Others might argue that it’s any track focused car, like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The truth is, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the most insane vehicle of them all.

One of the best parts about the Trackhawk is that it looks like a normal Jeep Grand Cherokee. But look a little closer and there are some subtle hints that this isn’t your everyday SUV. Under the hood is a 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V-8 that makes 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft. of torque. Driving the Trackhawk is a remarkable exercise in self-control. You can put the SUV in auto mode and cruise along. On the other hand, you can enable track mode and let the monster out.
