The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (2018-2021) stands as a pinnacle of American automotive engineering, boasting the heart of a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8. This SUV not only delivers exhilarating performance – 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds – but also embodies a legacy of muscle car enthusiasm that has captivated generations. As production ended in 2021, the Trackhawk has transitioned into instant-collector status, given its unique position as the only Hellcat-powered SUV, and the last of the V8 Grand Cherokees before the WL-platform ushered in an era of electrification.
In Nebraska, the appreciation for such performance-oriented vehicles is palpable. Trackhawk donations support not just automotive passion but also communities, ensuring that the spirit of American muscle continues to thrive. Our team at Great Plains Autos is committed to honoring your vehicle's legacy while providing you with a seamless donation experience, celebrating the rich history of this extraordinary SUV.

Known issues by generation
The 2018-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is celebrated for its unmatched performance, but potential issues include supercharger snout-bearing pre-failure on high-mileage cars, and MDS (Multi-Displacement System) cylinder deactivation lifter-failure, which has been documented on various Hemi platforms. Owners should ensure recall completions and perform tick tests for lifter concerns. Additionally, the 8-speed TorqueFlite transmission is generally robust, though signs of wear may emerge in high-performance applications. It’s advisable to keep an eye on the Quadra-Trac AWD system and rear axle bearings, especially in vehicles subjected to drag racing.

Factors such as original paint, documented service history, and lack of abuse history significantly enhance value.
