2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk - “the most capable version ever produced”

[TerryMason]

Jeep is rolling out a Trailhawk version of the Grand Cherokee for 2017, and is targeting offroaders. I thought this part was pretty interesting:

The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk comes standard with an 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system, which has been updated specifically for the Trailhawk to provide information like wheel articulation, suspension height, and which four-wheel-drive mode the vehicle is in.

Sure they will advertise a "more capable" or better version the following years but that jeep with those features is a good start imo.

Not sure any 8.4 reprogramming improves the Grand Cherokee's offroad capability.

It's a 8.4 inch screen that will tell you stuff about your Jeep, like how much articulation you currently have, are you in 4wd, etc. It sounds like more of a distraction than useful information, but still kind of interesting.

Ya i know what it is, the 8.4 in my wife's Grand Cherokee already shows tire articulation and 4wd mode. The 8.4 in my Ram does not.

It looks promising!
