The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, produced between 2018 and 2021, is not just an SUV; it's a performance icon that defined an era of American muscle. With its 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 engine delivering 707hp, the Trackhawk set the benchmark for speed and luxury in the SUV segment, achieving an astonishing 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. As production has ceased, this model stands as the last of the V8 Grand Cherokees, making it an instant collector's item.
Heart Wheels invites you to donate your Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, contributing to a cause that celebrates automotive excellence and the community. The Trackhawk's unique heritage as the fastest production SUV of its time creates a narrative of rarity and significance, especially as Stellantis transitions to electrified models.

Known issues by generation
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, while an exceptional vehicle, does have some known issues that potential donors should be aware of. Common concerns include the supercharger snout-bearing failure, particularly in high-mileage vehicles or those that have been over-tuned. Additionally, the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter failures can affect performance and reliability. It's also prudent to check for valve-body wear in the ZF-licensed TorqueFlite 8HP70 automatic transmission, especially in cars subjected to frequent high-stress driving conditions. Documenting service history and ensuring preventative maintenance has been performed is crucial for maintaining the Trackhawk's exceptional value.
Donation value by condition + generation
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk's value is significantly influenced by its collector status, especially now that production has ended. Vehicles in pristine condition and well-documented service history can command prices ranging from $80,000 to over $110,000 at auctions like Bring a Trailer, Mecum, and Barrett-Jackson. The rarity factor is intensified by its last-of-the-V8-Grand-Cherokee position, which strengthens its appeal in the collector market. Factors such as original paint, specific color options like Velocity Yellow or Redline Pearl, and complete maintenance records can further elevate its value, making it an astute investment for collectors.

Donating your Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk to Heart Wheels is a straightforward process.
