In Defense Of The Most Controversial Jeep Ever Made: The 2014-2018 Cherokee (KL)
We all plan ahead right? Despite this very website appearing to be thrown together at the last moment by a team of drunken circus performers, behind the scenes it is somewhat organized. David is planning to return to a feral existence if we add another 200 members in the month of April. Being an autismist, my calendar is organized with a precision that would shame one of Field Marshall Montgomery’s battle plans. Torch’s plans for the day don’t usually extend beyond putting on a pair of pants, but we do have Zoom calls and spreadsheets and other professional tools to keep Matt from aging in dog years. But imagine if you had to think much further ahead. The process of designing a car starts about five years before it hits the showrooms, and it may stay in production with minor changes for ten years.

We woke the neighborhood every time that Hemi snorted to life! Daily driving was done in “Auto” setting, which gave us a 40-percent front/60-percent rear torque split on the four-wheel-drive. But when the itch came to play, I clicked into “Sport,” with 50 percent quicker shifts, a more rearward 35/65 torque split and firmer suspension and steering. Adding all 645 pond-feet of torque through the beefed-up 8-speed automatic saw the Trackhawk rear back and launch ferociously to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.
