Hey I was wondering what are the differences in the two models. Are they the same other than their looks?
The Trailhawk seats are great. Personally, I like them much better than the standard ones. They hold you in place, which is what you want for off-roading (or cornering). Also, the ventilation and heating elements work quite well.Nice I apperciate all of your help. One of the dealers told me the seats are not as good in quality. Is that at all true?
I honestly don't believe there's a "quality" difference, unless you are referring to "qualities" about the seats. The seats in the Trailhawk are more like the SRT seats and the seats in the Overland are different than that. They may feel different. Some folks say that the TrailHawk seats are more supportive in some ways, for example. Sit in both and see what feels better to you.One of the dealers told me the seats are not as good in quality. Is that at all true?
For MY14 your seat foam is:
Laredo/E, Cloth....#2 Foam
Altitude, Suede....#5 Foam
Limited (Std)....#6 Foam
Limited (Lux II)....#1 Foam
Overland....#5 Foam
Summit....#3 Foam
SRT (Suede Perf)....#4 Foam
SRT (Laguna)....#7 Foam
To the best of my knowledge, higher number is firmer as I know for a fact the Overland #5 seats are very firm compared to my #3 Summit seats. So, relatively speaking, SRT's w/ Laguna seats (#7) have rocks for seats and Lux II Limiteds (#1) have squishers and other models/trims fill in between.
Other things like seat material, seat shape, bolster config, seat surface material, vented/non-vented, position, etc.. all affect perceived seat comfort.

I would presume MY15 is identical.
Only the stops are modified based on previous discussion. Same QL otherwise.TH also has a different air bag system for more travel and lift.
With Lux they are full leather, and having just checked one out in person, they are nice! Very premium feeling.Yea at first I didn't like the TH but looking around and finding out that the seats come in full leather I do like the TH more. My dealer was confused though because they don't know how the seats came in full leather with no suede. Personally not a fan on suede for a vehicle like this.
The Overland has Dual Exhausts for both the V6 & the V8Trailhawk also gets you QDII standard, but I believe you can still get that as an option on the Overland. Trailhawk gets you dual exhaust outlets on ALL engines, which is something that you can't get on the Overland.
Agree! Seems like it is nothing more than a super fine micro-fiber cloth... It is not leather and seems very cheap to me. Have an extremely hard time with it in the high end models like the SRT & possibly the Trackhawk. If that is all the Trailhawk had offered, as it did originally, I would not have one. Hate the stuff. Sorry to those that have and like it, but it is not for me.:slapfight:Personally not a fan on suede for a vehicle like this.
Not always. Early 2017 TH's with Lux have the suede inserts. I have one.With Lux they are full leather, and having just checked one out in person, they are nice! Very premium feeling.
