Just got mine this weekend! The reviews don't do this thing justice, it's a beast! Who cares about gas mileage? Go buy a Prius and stay the hell out of my way...
Between the lowered ride height and performance tires, I wouldn't off-road the SRT. Oh I had plenty of runs, I think I did it more than most, 5-6 times. I just didn't check to see if the mic was working. I also had an awesome shot of the nose but didn't realize the GoPro had gone into still photo mode. Fail. If I didn't work so cheaply, I'd fire me.
This thing fucking SMASHES, i'm pretty impressed.
Didn't know Tiger Woods took a career change.
Next car for sure!! Love my 2012 mustang 5.0 but road trips are a pain w that lil car! This thing is sweet!!!!
SRT has different performance tires. Standard JGCs get on/off road tires (don't recall the brand). High-end Summit and Overland models get all-season tires on 20-inch wheels (Laredo and Limited get 17-18 inch wheels). Hope that helps.
You know you make most of your fans within the first few minutes of the video! Great starts, and really enjoy you videos. Thanks!
very good job tom, keep them coming please
Got my 2014 Jeep SRT a couple weeks ago...A fantastic suv! Love it! Well done Jeep!
Probably fine, with snow tires. I doubt the performance Pirelli treads will be very sticky.
It's coming very soon
What a great review and great recovery! You should have told them you need to make the run again. ;-) It is gratifying to see us turn out such great vehicles and watch your fair reviews. I wonder how much Costco TP it would hold in the back and if this is as agile off road?
Hey Tom, your best part of heading to Austin (I bet your trip to the Circuit of Americas F1 track is the highlight), no evil twin!
I love the way you dealt with the failed GoPro mic haha
Awesome Review , Mr. Tom ^_^ Informative and so cool !! I hope U can review 2014 Chevrolet Impala 2LTZ. I'm waiting for that :)
Hey Tom, great to have you back again! Awesome video. Where is your evil twin though?
One of the problems with it is an incredible amount of tire noise entering the cabin. The tire size (295/45/20) is extremely rare and only comes as a run-flat now by Pirelli.
Thanks a lot! I was asking myself that same question.
Better have deep pockets. This bad boy loves to RINK!!!
Finally a video! Tom its been too long
We have this car and love it. Roomy, great value, averaging 14L/100 which isn't too bad because we live in a hilly area. We did 0-100 in 4.4s :) Seats are amazingly comfy with lumbar support for passenger- not many cars have this.
About the Eco Booster. How much gas does it take when its on?
Amazing video!
When given lemons...

you make a high performance jeep v8
Hello TH, I have noticed your comments on most SRT reviews re chipped wheels. Do you drive on gravel roads or maybe bump your wheels into kerbs? I cant find any other owners with chipped wheels.
DID it come with manual trans I don't think so.
excellent reviewer....I subbed
this car looks exciting.
Love this Car
I love the new Grand Cherokees
i prefer the jeep srt8 over the x5m and the cayenne any day

That's ridiculous, X5M and Cayenne is More Reliable than this Off Roader. In terms of Quality and luxury, is the BMW and Porsche. But this car is really a good looking ride which can make anyone buy it.

+Raul Madrid They Cayenne is a dog compared to the SRT. You'd have to spend $50k more on a Turbo S to beat the Jeep, and that's stripped Cayenne vs a loaded SRT.
Love my overland, but not writing off getting this for the wife (myself)

Well if you want a fast SUV that's faster then this jeep look at the ml63 AMG 550 horsepower and top speed 200 mph or 250mph, even comfort and sport mode and lowers its suspension by the touch of a button. My family owns one its GREAT.
Also add Mercedes ML AMG to the comparison list.
Also, add Mercedes ML63 AMG to the list with BMW X5 M & Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
Can't wait for the jeeps new diesel to be offered in the ram 1500. It's about time they brought diesels to American jeeps
I love it
Jeep, Bi Coastal Radio, and Disney together again.
4:36. Few many of those???
These things are fucking insane
quien mela regala?
I want one :(
And gas mileage is better then any suv! Well once in eco mode

Important too: Cars equipped with the very toxic 1234 yf refrigerant in the climate control system are impossible to sale here in Germany at the moment, Many new US Cars have this.. :- (
6.4L geesh!!! that MPG is abysmal..
Lol no.. the gmc typhoon was the fastes suv in the 90's and the gmc cyclone was the fastes light weight pick up
Is that Tiger Woods?
They do..... and Americans aren't big on diesel because it's 30-50 cents more a gallon.
For all the rich history of Chrysler and Jeep, future sales will be difficult here in Germany for Fiats very bad reputation... The Company is trying to sale Chrysler cars with a Lancia label here, no good idea! The only cars i saw was a Fairmont SUV and a dealer 200 Lancia model in the last 6 month! It seems that Jeep is knocked out by Range Rover here in Europe! and of course the domestic tribal Audi BMW Merc are leading..and btw only one US Car dealer in Munich!
1:53 Since 1941 :D
All the gts is is ground affects.. the gt is the fast one
bmw rules in the suv area
My 2012 srt8 jeep all rims are chipping and they will not fix! $60,000 Really? The 2014 and 2015 all (8 speed Transmissions) are going out! RUN RUN RUN
How much is it?

Too bad Jeep cheats people by adding without the buyers knowledge "secure etch silent guard security system" at a cost of $399.. We stated we did not want any extras but they did it anyway..ours was done while we were signing the papers.. Jeep has been sued in at least 2 states for this practice.. $399 for a quick chemical etch. Dust from it came off on my hand when I touched it. The Service(I did not want) is only good for 3 years so I'm stuck with etched glass as long as I own the car. Honda did something like this in the 90's with Proloc system.. Car dealers are whores

Pirellis all around and a Kumho for a spare? Come on....
Well, ran my 2011 BMW X5 50i with Dinan stage 2 tune against a new GC SRT and left it for dead in 5 runs till the dejected driver tapped out. You don't need an X5M to be faster than this Dodge product. It looked pretty nice though.

Rofl!! My '14 Jeep SRT would leave your X5 in the dust, I'd race you from a dig, roll w/e you want fool, I have raced the 160k Cayenne and beat it by a full car, an X5M can't touch my SRT

You raced your X5 dinan stage 2 against a stock Jeep SRT, try racing a modded one that would be more of a fair race, I wouldn't brag about beating a stock suv when I'm running a heavily modded one, I'm 85k into my Jeep SRT but It can make the 160k cayenne look very very bad, how bout you try racing a modded 1st gen Jeep SRT?? You have no chance against one of those

This Vehicle is not JUST a Drag Strip "Weapon"!!! It's a: ALL Weather, All Roads(even Off Road, if you're not FOOLISH), High Capacity, Tow a decent sized Trailer of Toys, reasonably Luxurious, Seats a Family of Five, Grand Touring MASTERPIECE!!! That just happens to be Capable of Blowing the Doors off of Average "Sports" Cars!!! And do ALL OF THAT at 50%-75% of the COST of EVERY Reasonable Contender!!!! ps, $45,000-$75,000 buys a LOT of: Insurance, Fuel, Tires, Servicing, Repairs, Road Trips, Upgrades, Track Time, Food, Housing, ect... HELL, it buys a Fu*king College Education!!!!! Besides, Hundreds of other Reviews have EXACTLY the Data that you want.... "Justify the Price"?? Really???

It's a great all seasons tarmac sporty SUV but I can't believe they plagiarized Audi's A8 gear selector so shamelessly. What's happening to creativity these days >.>
4500 can you say collector car.
This review blows.. the jeep srt8 has been the fastest fsctory suv since it came out
People bye this car for fun and speed not fucking gas milege if u care about gas milege than go buy a focus or fusion or 200

No mechanical complaints, but I did buy an extended warranty. Without it, it does have a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty in the USA, and bumper to bumper for 3 years/36K miles without the extended warranty. I'm thinking of adding a Catch Can also in hopes of prolonging engine life. BTW, I got 4.3 seconds 0-60 last week. Love it! I drove 2000 miles so far. From one long trip, my overall MPG was 18. But for 200 or so miles of staying within 70-75 MPH, I averaged 23. For around town fill ups, I've averaged 12-14 MPG. But it's worth it! Fun to drive, and the UConnect is ridiculously awesome. Voice recognition has been great! I Just say 'navigate to xxx main st., Los Angeles, CA', and the navigation is done! This is what ALL car entertainment systems should strive to be. 19-speaker system: unreal!!! Actually one small complaint with the bluetooth audio streaming, but I have to test with other phones. With a Galaxy Note 2, the bluetooth streaming stops for a second or so every once in a while. One time, it did this every minute. But that might be my phone, so I need to test with another phone. Things I don't like: - thinking I have to pay $20/month after 1 year to keep the UConnect Access. - stuff slipping around in trunk, so I got a net - traffic in navigation relies on Sirius XM, which isn't as accurate, and will require a subscription after first year. Be nice to have a free Sigalert app and have it integrated into the navigation.

Why do Americans say,...."probably could care less.."? Isn't the correct term,"couldn't care less"?
you actually mentioned the cayenne and this jeep in the same sentence? the cherokee can't even hold a candle to the cayenne!
What's the deal with the cheap, tacky plastic tabs pieces beneath the headlights? This looks horrible and totally out of place on $60,000 + premium SUV. Chrysler/Fiat/Jeep should have created headlamps that integrate with the front grille trim like the 2014 Grand Cherokee base models! Exterior wise, the 2012 - 2013 Jeep SRT versions look much better IMO.
A Porsche Cayenne GTS would smoke this..
looks like a car not a jeep
