Damn.. i just found my jeep.! I was wondering about a '14 model trailhawk coming out..

Now that i have a better job starting next month i can afford to get one these bad boys. I love the look! So can't wait for them to start production!

Keep in mind a '14 is going to be more than the '13 when it was full price then add on the $5k for the CRD and I bet sticker is close to that... now anyone that pays sticker either has way too much money or is a fool so...

And you are seriously considering a wk2 trailhawk when you want a raptor ? They have meds for schizophrenia you know ;)

I don't disagree...completely. I will say that the '13 Trailhawk offered both 3.6 and 5.7 engines. I would think the '14 would have similar offerings (including the CRD). Me? I'd opt for the 5.7...and bring my pricing down.

That color, black trim and the wheels goes very well together!!

I agree. That thing looks amazing. The color is not my thing, but in Granite Crystal or Max Steel, perfect.

Think that thing has a lift kit on it to get those wheels under it?

It's not a "lift kit" when it comes that way from the factory...is it higher than the potential production model ? Yes, you can bet it is.

You sure about that?

The Mojave WK had the Superlift in it and several of the Jeeps at SEMA used lift kits from companies like Rocky Road Outfitters.

My point is that as a factory installed item it is oem equipment for all intents and purposes. This is a "concept" car and given that a company has already done the engineering to produce it they used it. If it goes to production using this exact same suspension it is not a "kit" but an optional suspension. Also odds are very good that if it goes to production using it the aftermarket version will no longer be available for purchase as the company that manufactured it will be required to sign a non compete in order to get the deal.

I have to give Jeep massive kudos :thumbsup:

They really are listening to their customers and coming up with some great production concepts. This is one bad ass ride, infact I think it might be too bad ass if there is such a thing. Now all the plain Jane's want white and black. Don't get me wrong, it would look awesome in those colors too, but orange is for those who want to be set apart from a normal GC and feel like they have the meanest and best special edition. That orange really pops and the black accents are an awesome touch.

Well done Jeep and great job by the design team :thumbsup:

RG and the boys watch this forum and watch what we do to our Jeeps! They know exactly what the true enthusiast want. This Jeep and the new SRT hits the nail on the head. You could call these, the altitudes, the vapor and alpine...the JeepGarage editions!

While I think it does look badass, I really don't see what the market is for that. The '13 Trailhawk is perfect for someone like me: someone with a growing family that wants a luxury-type SUV that is still quite capable on mountain trails. While I have no doubt that thing is more than capable on the trails, it's going to ride like a tank on the road. And, I couldn't imagine trying to heft a car seat into it every day.

Honestly, if I were in the market for that type of vehicle, I'd buy a 4 door JK Rubicon.

I'm glad I got mine in '13.

It's just a concept for the Moab show. Production models could end up with 18" wheels just like the 2013 Trailhawk has.

I actually love these Wrangler wheels on this.

What size tire do you think will actually make it through to production models? This does look so amazing, but realistically we could stand to lose a few inches on the tire.

The '13's has 32's, so I think that 33's would easily be reasonable. I'm not sure we could expect to see these 35's in production, but you never know.

I'll repost this because people missed it or ignored it.

From the Jeep Press Release

The 2014 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept – the third Grand Cherokee created for Easter Jeep since 2011 - features 35-inch Mickey Thompson off-road tires on Wrangler Rubicon 17-inch aluminum wheels, enlarged wheel openings with custom fender flares, custom front and rear skid plates, dual rear tow hooks and modified Mopar rock rails.

Custom design cues include a Grand Cherokee SRT hood, SRT front and rear fascias that have been modified for extra ground clearance, a black front grille, a matte black roof and one-off custom roof rails. The body is finished in a vibrant, non-metallic blood-orange hue that also manages to draw attention to the larger wheel openings and off-road tires.

Mopar slush mats and rear cargo liner enhance Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept's interior.

Those wheels are borrowed from the Rubicon. I seriously doubt we will see 35" MT's stock, which they needed to enlarge the wheel wells and change the fenders to fit. A lot of custom bits and pieces on this concept.

Will we see a Trailhawk 2? I believe so. But I expect it to be watered down compared to this concept. I'm still very interested.

This thing has me reaching for my wallet! I think Jeep would be surprised if they put it on the market. But I want the V8 and most of the luxory too.
