The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a monumental chapter in American automotive history, celebrated for its roaring 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 and remarkable speed, achieving 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. From 2018 to 2021, this single-generation powerhouse represented the zenith of the WK2 platform before the transition to the WL-generation, which abandoned its iconic V8 for electrification. In Knoxville, donating a Trackhawk not only contributes to the preservation of a modern muscle icon but also supports the ongoing narrative of automotive enthusiasm in our community.
This production-ended model, known for its instant-collector status, stands as a reminder of a time when raw power and performance ruled the roads. As we see the finality of V8 configurations in the era of electrification, the Trackhawk's rarity and significance only amplify, making your donation an act of homage to the golden age of American muscle. Join us in keeping this legacy alive as we honor the engineering marvel that is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

Known issues by generation
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, while a remarkable vehicle, is not without its challenges. Known issues may include pre-failure of the 2.4L IHI supercharger snout-bearing on high-mileage vehicles, which can be costly to rebuild. The reliability of the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifters is also a concern, necessitating recall verification and tick-test before donation. Additionally, the ZF-licensed TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission is generally reliable, but may experience wear at high-mileage tuned cars, particularly under the stress of launch control. Regular maintenance and documentation of these components are crucial for preserving the value and performance of your Trackhawk.
