There’s a unique spirit that lives within every Jeep. It’s a call to adventure, a promise of freedom, and the inherent capability to go where other vehicles turn back. It’s for the weekend explorers, the avid campers, and those who believe the best roads are the ones unpaved. The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is the ultimate expression of this philosophy—a sophisticated SUV for the city on Friday, and a rugged, “Trail Rated” explorer for the outback on Saturday.
It is with this deep respect for capability that we announce the arrival of a truly special vehicle at our yard: a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, finished in a stunning Red Otane Pearlcoat.

Let’s gear up and explore the exceptional, trail-ready components this 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk has to offer.
The Heart of Capability: 3.2L Pentastar V6 and Active Drive Lock
The soul of any Jeep is its powertrain, and the Trailhawk is blessed with a formidable combination. Under the bonnet lies the proven 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine, a workhorse known for its smooth power delivery and robust reliability. It’s the perfect engine for highway cruising, but has the torque needed for challenging climbs. The low-kilometre engine from this 2020 model is a confirmed runner, in excellent health and ready to be the new heart of another Cherokee. For anyone facing the astronomical cost of a dealer engine replacement, this genuine, low-mileage V6 from WA Auto Parts is the ultimate solution.
Mated to the engine is the advanced 9-speed automatic transmission, tested by our technicians for smooth, reliable operation. But the true magic lies in the 4×4 system. This isn’t a standard all-wheel-drive setup; this is the Jeep Active Drive Lock system. This is what earns the Trailhawk its coveted “Trail Rated” badge. It includes a two-speed Power Transfer Unit (PTU) with a genuine low-range gear ratio for incredible torque multiplication and crawling control. Crucially, it also features a mechanical locking rear differential. For the uninitiated, this forces both rear wheels to turn at the same speed, providing uncompromising traction in slippery, loose, or uneven terrain.
Sourcing a complete Active Drive Lock system—the PTU, rear drive module with locker, and associated electronics—is incredibly rare. It represents the holy grail for an owner of a lower-spec Cherokee looking for a massive capability upgrade, or for a custom off-road buggy builder. This is your chance to acquire a complete, tested, top-tier Jeep 4×4 system.
Trail Rated Hardware: The Armour and Attitude of a Trailhawk
What truly separates the Trailhawk from other Cherokees is its factory-fitted off-road gear. These aren’t just cosmetic additions; they are functional, engineered components designed for serious trail work.
- 1-Inch Factory Lift Suspension: The Trailhawk sits higher than its siblings, thanks to a unique, factory-engineered 1-inch suspension lift. We have the complete set of Trail-Rated struts, shocks, and springs that provide this increased ground clearance and wheel articulation. This is the perfect OEM+ upgrade, offering enhanced capability without the compromises of an aftermarket lift kit.
- Heavy-Duty Skid Plates: Any serious off-roader knows that protecting your vehicle’s vitals is paramount. This Trailhawk is equipped with a full set of factory steel skid plates, providing robust armour for the front suspension, transmission, fuel tank, and transfer case. They are the shield that protects your investment from rocks, logs, and unforgiving terrain.
- Signature Red Recovery Hooks: The two prominent red tow hooks on the front and one on the rear are not just for show. They are fully rated, chassis-mounted recovery points, essential for safe vehicle recovery if you or a friend gets stuck on the trail.
- 17-Inch Off-Road Wheels: The vehicle comes with its set of unique 17-inch Trailhawk off-road alloy wheels, designed for durability and wrapped in quality all-terrain tyres. This wheel and tyre package is ready to hit the dirt.
The Command Centre: Trail-Ready Tech and Comfort
Inside, the Trailhawk blends rugged purpose with modern technology and comfort. The entire interior is infused with the spirit of adventure.
- Uconnect 8.4 with Off-Road Pages: The nerve centre of the cabin is the large 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. It features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but its killer feature is the “Off-Road Pages” app. This displays real-time data on drivetrain status, wheel articulation, suspension height, and accessory gauges—all the information an engaged off-road driver needs. This fully tested unit is available now.
- Trailhawk Interior: The cabin is fitted with beautiful black leather seats featuring the distinctive Trailhawk logo and signature red accent stitching. The front seats are both heated and ventilated for ultimate comfort in any WA climate.
- Driver Information Display: The instrument cluster features a 7-inch full-colour screen that can be customized to show a huge range of vehicle and trip information, keeping the driver fully informed.
Purposeful Design: Body and Lighting
Even the exterior panels of the Trailhawk are unique. The front and rear bumpers are specifically designed to provide more aggressive approach and departure angles, allowing the vehicle to tackle steeper obstacles without making contact. We also have the full set of premium LED bi-function projector headlamps and LED taillights, which provide brilliant illumination and a modern, distinctive look.
