The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, produced from 2018 to 2021, stands as an emblem of modern American muscle. With its supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 engine producing 707 horsepower, it earned the title of the fastest production SUV of its era. As a proud resident of Lexington, donating your Trackhawk not only supports Bluegrass Wheels but also contributes to preserving a unique piece of automotive history. Each donation plays a vital role in maintaining the legacy of vehicles that have ascended into instant collector status.
As the WK2-platform Grand Cherokee transitioned to the 2022 WL-platform, the last of the V8 Grand Cherokees marks a significant milestone. This rarity, along with its performance pedigree, has positioned the Trackhawk as a sought-after collector's item. We invite you to donate your Trackhawk and ensure its legacy is cherished within our community and beyond.

Known issues by generation
While the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a high-performance marvel, potential donors should be aware of common issues that can arise with the 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8. Notably, the supercharger's snout bearing may exhibit pre-failure symptoms, particularly in high mileage or over-tuned vehicles. MDS lifter failures have been documented, so it's crucial to verify recall completion and perform a tick test prior to donation. Additionally, signs of wear in the TorqueFlite 8HP70 automatic transmission and Quadra-Trac AWD system should be assessed. Overall, preventive maintenance and thorough documentation of service history greatly enhance the value and reliability of your Trackhawk.
