  • Genuinely capable off-road on Quadra-Lift
  • Big interior

Weaknesses

  • Air suspension reliability is poor
  • TIPM module failures persistent
  • Below-segment reliability ratings
  • Fuel economy on V8s is bad

Notable tech

  • Mercedes-derived chassis (DaimlerChrysler legacy)
  • Quadra-Lift air suspension
  • Bilstein adaptive dampers (SRT)
  • Trackhawk: 707bhp Hellcat V8 in an SUV

Common issues

  • Air suspension compressor failure
  • TIPM electrical gremlins
  • Pentastar rocker arm failure (2011-2013)
