The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (WK2), produced from 2018 to 2021, represents the pinnacle of American performance SUVs. With its 707hp 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8, it achieved a remarkable 0-60 time in just 3.5 seconds, earning its title as the fastest production SUV of its era. As production has ceased, the Trackhawk has transformed into an instant collector's item—symbolizing the end of an era of V8 performance in the Grand Cherokee lineage. At OceanState Donor, we celebrate this iconic vehicle's legacy and invite you to donate your Trackhawk to support our initiatives in Rhode Island.
Owning a Trackhawk is not just about horsepower; it's about being part of a modern American muscle heritage. The Trackhawk's unique position as the only Hellcat-powered SUV and its performance pedigree ensures its future as a sought-after classic. As the automotive landscape shifts towards electrification, models like the Trackhawk are becoming increasingly rare, leading to their appreciating value and collector status. By donating your Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, you're not only making a charitable contribution but also preserving a piece of automotive history.

Known issues by generation
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, while a marvel of engineering, comes with specific known issues that potential donors should be aware of. The 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 can face challenges such as supercharger snout bearing pre-failure and MDS lifter failures, especially in high-mileage vehicles. It's crucial to verify the completion of any recalls related to these lifters and perform a tick test prior to donation. Additionally, the ZF-licensed TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission is generally robust but may experience valve-body wear under high-stress scenarios. Given the Trackhawk's performance capabilities, maintaining its engine and transmission components is essential for preserving its collector value.
Donation value by condition + generation
As a member of the modern American muscle lineage, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk's value trajectory is influenced by its production-ended rarity. Clean, low-mileage examples can command prices upwards of $80-110k at auction venues like Bring a Trailer and Barrett-Jackson. The significance of its supercharged Hemi V8 and last-of-the-line status before the shift to electrification further enhances its appeal to collectors. Documentation of preventative maintenance—including supercharger rebuild receipts and MDS lifter recall confirmations—will be critical in securing a strong valuation for your vehicle. Original paint and well-preserved models are particularly sought after, making them prime candidates for collectors.
