Jeep News: Rumorpile: Jeep Registers Trackhawk

[William Maley]

Since the announcement was made that SRT would be integrated back into Dodge, the question of what would happen to the Chrysler 300 SRT and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT has been up in the air. We've heard that the former would be canceled, while the latter would live on. But how? The folks at Allpar may have the answer.

They report that Chrysler has trademarked 'Trackhawk'. This could be a way for Jeep to link this to their linked with the “Trail Rated” Trailhawk models. Trackhawk could also allow Jeep to build other performance models. This also could also mean that Jeep is doing something completely different with the name (think trim level or a concept).

Nevertheless, we'll be keeping a close eye on this.

Interesting, this at least answers the question about the SRT version.

 

Now we will have the Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk Edition. I can see each SUV version having both TrailHawk and TrackHawk. Could make for some fun times. I like this much better than SRT.
