The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (WK2) is not just an SUV; it's a testament to the performance of modern American muscle. Produced between 2018 and 2021, this beast features a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8, delivering an exhilarating 707hp and 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. As the last of the V8 Grand Cherokees before the transition to the WL-platform, Trackhawk models are now considered instant collector's items. Donating your Trackhawk contributes to preserving this legacy and providing thrilling experiences for future generations.
As a limited-production performance vehicle, a clean Trackhawk garners significant attention in collector communities. With the end of its production in 2021, and the shift away from V8 powertrains, the Trackhawk stands as a symbol of an exhilarating era of American automotive history. Your donation helps keep this lineage alive while supporting Island Wheels’ mission in Hawaii, where the spirit of adventure thrives.

Known issues by generation
Typical issues with the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk involve its high-powered 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 engine, particularly concerning the supercharger snout-bearing which can fail on high-mileage vehicles. Additionally, there are known MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter failures, which could impact performance if not addressed. The TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission is robust but susceptible to valve-body wear under heavy use. Owners should document maintenance and any repairs including supercharger-rebuild receipts and MDS-lifter recall completions to maintain collector value.
