Forza Horizon 4: Remembering the SRT Grand Cherokee

With the prize-only Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is only reserved for those who did outstanding results in numerous Cross Country races, it's hard to miss the SRT version of Jeep's award-winning luxury SUV that keeps crossing paths like every Jeep should. As a matter of fact, I haven't kept in touch with this thing since our Southern Europe journey in FH2. But now, I managed to keep in touch with an old friend having managed to cash in those points for this crossover.



To recall, this is based on the 2014MY facelift Grand Cherokee and this model replaces the SRT8 variant. The 470HP HEMI 6.4L V8 engine remains from the old SRT8 but the gearbox's been swapped to an 8-speed automatic for better performance and fuel economy. In addition, the Selec-Track system has been tweaked so when in Track Mode, there's a torque split change to make it more responsive from mid-corner to exit, allowing them to deliver quick lap times on track.



So, after having a quick talk about this car and some flashbacks between me and this Grand Cherokee about the time when I drove it back to the festival, I decided to take it for a spin to see if this macho crossover still has the moves to make it go like Nina Needs To Go. Anyone knows where the nearest restroom is? I really need to go. Oops, there's the flashback!



Job well done. There's nothing else I can say.

Enjoy your new ride.
