I think the only difference is the upgraded lockable rear axle and that is $500 and a non-option on non-Trailhawks.

$10k of options :O

Looks like the 17s are the only option for the Trailhawk.

This is what I would go with. I included the satellite radio, cold weather package, and the back-up camera. I like the true blue color (damned if I have a silver car like everyone else on the road.)



Price comes out to $25,325, which is cheaper than I thought.

Here's Mine. $36K and some change before tax. Anvil is nice but the roommate already has Anvil as a Wrangler so I will go with Granite.

For some reason some of the options were initially missing from the Configurator. Now that I have it working my price rose to an even $39K. LOL ;)



And the loaded options :p

Alright just built my Cherokee Trailhawk and i have to say i was a little disappointed with the color options. Red, Blue or like seven shades of black. Would of gone for a nice forest green if available.

Personally i think the trailhawk should have its own range of high impact colours not available on the other Cherokee trim levels. Besides Mango Tango which isnt even available in the configer FYI

Anyways heres my boy, clocks in at $38,850:
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Automotive design Sport utility vehicle


And the options list, cold weather pack will come in HANDY around here.
Text Font Vehicle Logo Car


Honestly the Trailhawk is nice but at almost $40k I may wait for the SRT. But seeing as there is no confirmation of an SRT coming...

The SRT will probably start at 40k and end up being 45k+ after the options :dodgy:

It has 2 colors n/a on other trims:

Eco Green and Mango Tango.

Unfortunately they are late availability. So it may be a while before they are "order-able."

No. For some reason the last options Tab took a while to load and I thought it meant no options. I do like how my almost similar vehicle is a bit more than yours though. Colorado tax more than likely - they know they will sell here. ;)

Maybe, but I am working with that 8.875% New York sales tax. Luckily the Trailhawk should be pretty standout in Brooklyn, most folks in my neighborhood arent the Cherokee types. I'm half anticipating a petition circulating my street demanding I debadge the cherokee becasue its name offends all the beastly white fellas.

Old vs New

I guess this will come up. I think a stock TH will out perform a stock older model.
If you take a 4x4 Latitude and dress it up you save several grand over a TH. The TH looks better IMHO but if you are a mall crawler or a flat terrain dweller you can get a very capable four wheel system for less.

Higher Bob, Higher!

I need to stop running the configurator.

Somehow I have managed to get the price higher and not lower. :angel:

A loaded Trailhawk in my zip is projected at $41,195.

Maybe a 2013 GC Trailhawk but there are no 2014 GC Trailhawks currently. If I were to go to GC they have me by the balls because I would go Diesel which is a 4500 up-sell plus a mandatory package with the diesels including collision avoidance for another 1600 or so.
 
#25 ·
Gc th

yeah a diesel gets in the mid 50s quick.

Yes 2013 GC THs. There are still quite a few out there.

Funny thing is that the TH concept is not working on the GC (my perception but there have been a dozen or so on lots in Florida for a long time).

It will probably work with the Cherokee because of the more aggressive stance and it is coming as an immediately available model with the launch.

I have a Garmin Oregon 400t with lifetime Maps as well. I skipped the NAV as I trust the garmin more than the built-in. Plus it gives me details (topographic maps and trails) that the built in system does not have. I may go back and have the dealer put in the NAV after a few months.

I think you don't have to have the dealer update the built-in Nav. That said, the update costs $150 and comes out every 1-2 years. The build-in Nav looks very nice, but the update process is still out of the dark ages. From some research, it appears that the auto industry is aware of this problem but is moving slowly.

I'm looking at Garmin standalone Navs. Garmin uses a different update process for it's latest Navs. Every few months they publish updates to the software and maps. For example, the nüvi® 3597LMTHD has lifetime free updates for the maps. It looks like there are several ways to do it, but essentially it involves installing an app on your PC or Mac, downloading the maps and/or software to your computer, and then connecting device to the computer. Simple, fast, and free.

Another advantage of this approach is that you can download libraries of POIs or create your own. Once downloaded or created, they can be uploaded to your Nav.

Each approach has its pluses and minuses and I'd prefer a built-in Nav, but I don't like the idea of out of date maps. And it's pretty static. AFAIK, there is no PC/Mac app that can be used to change or add to your built-in Nav.

I've posted about this on other forums and so far no one has been able to provide information that contradicts my findings.

Dan.
Yeah, $150 is ridiculous. All they do is stick a disc in the cd player then hit upgrade in the service menu.

If I were a Realtor or some other road runner I'd look for the best system and it keep it updated.
Since I just tool around and go on vacation every now and then, I don't worry about getting updates very often.
Lifetime map updates on some hand held models is nice.
Yeah depending where you live, if it's a booming town/city with development going on you'll want the updates being a realtor. Otherwise you'll be lost and driving in circles.
