The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is an all new model that is set to replace the outgoing Liberty SUV. The Trailhawk model is a Trailrated and Off-Road Capable Superstar featuring a ton of 4WD upgrades and goodies. The Cherokee is powered by a 3.2 liter V-6 engine that makes 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft. of torque. The transmission is a 9-speed automatic. But the real fun begins where the drivetrain and suspension is concerned.http://www.autobytel.com/jeep/cherokee/2014/The 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has a unique geometry suspension because of its heavy off-road articulation. There are 3 different 4WD systems on the Trailhawk are called Active Drive I, Active Drive II, and Active Drive Lock. Upfront on the differential there is a 2-speed and a single-speed take off unit while out back there is a 2-speed differential with a locker which you will find exclusively on the Trailhawk.The Cherokee Trailhawk has an almost 50:1 crawl ratio with the low-speed gearing. This 4x4 will literally crawl through anything thanks to the confident powertrain and excellent ground clearance. The Tailhawk is unlike anything else in the competing segment thanks to many off-road capable systems like the ability to completely disconnect the axels both front and rear.See More Car Videoshttp://www.autobytel.com/car-videos/Join Our Facebook Pagehttp://www.facebook.com/autobytel
