The 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is the highly specialized, off-road-focused trim of Jeeps popular compact SUV. While most compact crossovers are designed strictly for pavement, the Trailhawk is built to handle rugged terrain while maintaining comfortable on-road manners. It carries Jeep's prestigious "Trail Rated" badge, certifying its capability in traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording.
Off-Road Capability & Hardware
The Trailhawk distinguishes itself from standard Cherokees with heavy-duty mechanical and structural upgrades engineered for the trail:
Jeep Active Drive Lock: Features an advanced 4WD system with a 2-speed power transfer unit, a low range for crawling, and a locking rear differential for maximum traction in extreme conditions.
Selec-Terrain System: Allows the driver to dial in settings for different surfaces: Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud, and an exclusive Rock Mode.
Selec-Speed Control: Acts as low-speed off-road cruise control, managing throttle and braking while descending or ascending steep terrain so the driver can focus entirely on steering.
Off-Road Architecture: Built with an extra 1 inch of suspension lift (providing 8.7 inches of ground clearance), heavy-duty skid plates to protect the underbody, and signature dual front and single rear red tow hooks.
Tires: Rides on 17-inch painted diamond-cut aluminum wheels wrapped in rugged all-terrain tires.
Performance & Powertrain
The 2021 Trailhawk comes standard with Jeep's robust V6 engine, offering strong towing capacity and reliable power delivery:
Engine: 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine.
Output: 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque.
Transmission: 9-speed automatic transmission.
Towing Capacity: Standard capability allows for up to 2,000 lbs, but jumps to a class-leading 4,500 lbs when equipped with the available Trailer Tow Group.
Fuel Economy: EPA-estimated 18 mpg city / 24 mpg highway.
Trailhawk Cabin & Technology
The interior balances a rugged aesthetic with modern, easy-to-clean premium convenience:
Seating: Standard cloth and premium vinyl seats accented with unique Trailhawk red contrast stitching and embroidered logos. (An upgraded full-leather option is also available).
Infotainment: Features the highly praised Uconnect 4 system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and integrated voice command.
Comfort: Includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated front seats.
Safety & Driver Assistance
For the 2021 model year, Jeep made several key safety features standard across the entire Cherokee lineup, including the Trailhawk:
Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection
Rain-sensing windshield wipers
Clean CARFAX.

Amazing SUV
by Andrew on 5/10/2026 3:22:22 AM
We have owned this vehicle since it had 40,000 miles on the vehicle we were the second owners. It was leased prior to us buying it and now it currently has $150,000 miles. The only thing that has been replaced other than regular maintenance was the thermostat housing unit. Other than that, this vehicle has been the most reliable vehicle we have ever owned. - 5.0

Absolutely love the V6. Has all the bells and whistles. Plenty of room and easy to handle. Have had mine for over 3 years with absolutely no problems.
