Just traded my '15 Jeep GC SRT for a new TH yesterday. My '15 ran well... put a 5psi Magnuson blower on it with headers... did a best 0-60 of 3.6 in good air (40^F). Stock it was 4.3 in same conditions, so I was pleased with the performance. Never had any issues in 9000 miles, but I just absolutely love the platform so much, I sought to make a deal on a TH.
Found a local dealer who was not afraid of my vehicle, and they were selling their THs for $5k off sticker, so I took it over and got it done.
Mine is Billet Silver (this is my DD, so the silver helps ease of cleaning) and relatively lower optioned... black wheels (a must for me), HK audio and pano roof. I would like to add the Towing Pkg at some point. My kids are grown so no DVD system is necessary for me, and I'm more than content with the base seats.
I swapped over my WeatherTech floormats and rear cargo mat... significantly helps reduce wear on the stock mats and floorboards, but I'm just picky, I guess.
Today I did my first mod and de-badged everything on the sides of the truck. Kept the rear tailgate badge, but I don't know how long I will keep that. I really don't like a lot of badges, but that's just a personal thing.
So far, I'm very pleased with the truck. It is everything my SRT was, and then some, and that is a good thing. Even though I'm only at 100 miles, I did one 0-60 romp in Auto and hit 3.5 seconds and it is 85^F here today, so it is definitely quicker/faster than my low-boosted '15. I'll take it easy til 500 miles moving forward. I like the transmission programming (part-throttle shift logic) better in the TH than my '15 SRT. Other than that, the steering feels the same, and the brakes are a little grippier even at low-speed... could just be a different pedal feel, I don't know.
I do like the center gauge in the driver's gauge cluster... got the speedo in the center of the tach. Looks good, easy to read, and the important stuff is right there. The 180^ speedo on the left is just silly...impossible to truly read accurately, especially since it is 0-200mph. LOL.
Probably my only real "complaint" is the yellow calipers. I really like the red better. With all the brake dust these things make, the red was actually easier to keep clean. These yellow ones after 100 miles are already starting to turn grey/brown. The yellow may grow on me. We will see.
Mine came with the All-Season Pirelli tires (not sure if there is an option), and I will be interested to see how long they last. I drive 90% city, so they will wear quicker than if I did more highway driving. However, my '15 came with 3-season Pirellis and they were almost gone at 9200 miles, and I rotated them religiously, and don't feel like I beat on my vehicles. They are just super soft, I know that.
I'm a mod-aholic, but can't see doing anything to void the warranty on this vehicle, and it is stupid fast for something so large. :smile2:
