I doubt any of the big dogs would be interested in making stuff for them. Jeep should worry about getting the bugs worked out of the KL before worrying about having aftermarket support.

From reading cherokee club I can see three trans replacements already happening. Someone had their 4x4 system killed by a faulty bcm. Radio issues, leaks, heating issues, no 9th gear, trans not shifting past 7th, etc. It's been interesting watching the problems people are having.

The Trailhawk is more than just an ugly face. Stock to stock it will out wheel a XJ. Modded is a different story but a modded XJ will never see 30mpg or ride as nice. For its intended purpose it does what it should well sans the problems emptypockets mentioned. Which makes me wonder how many of these will be running strong at 200k+ miles?

The mileage numbers boasted on the sticker are BS anyways...those numbers are doled out by the EPA in perfect world conditions and scenarios in a closed lab setting, you will never see that kind of fuel economy, ever, in a car you purchase and drive off the lot. The numbers are inflated to begin with.

My wife's VW gets about exactly what the sticker said it would when she drives it.
