Jeep Trailhawk

The Jeep Trailhawk was a mid-size concept sport utility vehicle that Jeep showed at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was built on the platform of the new Wrangler and combined the body-on-frame, four-door Wrangler Unlimited's off-road hardware with an open-air, on-road design, so that it would be a more refined highway cruiser without giving up Jeep's off-road ability. It rode on a 116-inch wheelbase with 22-inch wheels, seated four, and had side windows that retracted fully into the body and glass roof panels that could be removed. Power came from a 3.0 litre Mercedes BlueTec common-rail diesel rated at 215 horsepower, with four-wheel drive and a five-speed automatic. Its designers named it Trailhawk because the grille and headlamps gave it a hawk-like face. The name later became a trim badge on production Jeep models.
