Driving a sport/utility vehicle on the track was once about as much fun as playing beach volleyball in loafers. No more. After taking the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 around California's Willow Springs Raceway, we can visualize a showroom-stock race series built on this remarkable new SUV.Not only was Jeep's ueber-ute an absolute hoot ripping off laps at Willow, it also scorched most of the competition in the sprints, muscling its way in between Mercedes-Benz's mighty ML55 AMG and Porsche's Cayenne Turbo as one of the quickest sport/utilities we've ever tested. The Grandest of Cherokees recorded a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.8 seconds compared with the Porsche's 5.1, and the Jeep didn't let up, beating the turbo Cayenne to 100 and in the quarter mile, 13.5 seconds at 101.6 mph versus 13.6 at 101.8. It also beat the Cayenne in the slalom and recorded higher lateral gs on the skidpad. Admittedly, the 4800-pound Jeep has a slight weight advantage on the 5000-pound Porsche, but if it works for Lotus, why not for a family car? The Jeep SRT8 is the 11th of the hyperkinetic kids fostered for the Chrysler Group since the Street and Race Technology development center was created in 2002. It's also the first sport/ute and the first Jeep to benefit from SRT's extreme-performance makeover, which begins with massive engine power, here a larger-bore version of the Grand Cherokee's 5.7-liter Hemi (which delivers only 330 horsepower). The 6.1-liter then was extensively tweaked to produce its 420 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, delivered to all four wheels through a special torque converter to an SRT-upgraded five-speed automatic gearbox and then on to the front and rear differentials through a specially designed transfer case. The result is smooth, linear, and thrilling doses of power, accompanied by a soundtrack that only a large-displacement V-8 engine in full tune can compose. SRT methodology insists on track-capable suspension and commanding brakes. As well as its usual tuning to shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings, SRT lowered the ride height an inch, recalibrated the Electronic Stability Program, and fit high-performance 20-inch Goodyear radials on lightweight forged alloys, staggered in size to exploit the rear-biased powertrain. Four-piston Brembo brakes with big, vented rotors provide excellent clamping force at each corner.The superbly balanced chassis, giant contact patches, and aggressively tuned ABS and ESP electronics make willing dance partners to a heavy right foot. For a vehicle so tall, it feels entirely stable in the bends, and the adept driver can use the brakes and throttle as well as the steering in finding the quickest way through the corners. On the way home from the track? Sink back into the comfortable, well-bolstered seats and relax. The SRT8 also is a quiet, compliant cruiser.The Jeep SRT8 may be a utilitarian supercar, but it's not a perfect supercar. The steering felt a bit darty, and the transmission sometimes ignored our request for a downshift. No matter: Perhaps the most astonishing element of the Grand Cherokee's extreme makeover is its $39,995 price. When did supercars, boxy or not, AWD or whatever, become so affordable?

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
