Thanks for your input. Again going to hopefully test drive both engines just might not be in the Trailhawk trim I will eventually order.
Help with options 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite
I'm ordering a 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite within the next 2 weeks. I want lots of options, ventelated/heated seats, sunroof, rock rails, tech group and tow package. On the fence about what engine to get and the stereo. Hoping to get some feedback from you guys.
V6 or turbo 4? Trailhawk will be a daily with some playtime off road maybe a few times a year. Will tow a small camper/dump trailer sometimes but nothing over 4k lbs. Is the V6 a little sluggish, can the more peppy 4cyl handle off road fun and towing?
Standard radio or Nav? Mainly stream music but occasionally might use navigation. Is voice command cool is the Nav radio a must have? Have kids so i guess I might pay for the moble hotspot like once a year, but not necessary. Just want them to think I'm cool! Haha jk.
I live in Arizona so going to pass on the engine block heater.
Going to test drive a few jeeps next week but all they have in my area are base model trailhawks. I have been out of the jeep game since high school (85 CJ7). I miss that jeep! Thanks in advance.

Can you use your phones navigation with CarPlay/Android Auto with both stereo options? I'm sure I can search out some of my questions just using my newby title til it wears off.I certainly respect everything Flybynightcru said, but my 3.2 has been good as gold: on the highway, off road, and towing. I’m not sure you can make a bad choice between those two.
For nav, I’m pretty likely to use my phone through CarPlay, which works great.
There's one in Phx (1.5hr drive) that has everything. MSRP is $44k and they have it listed for $38k. Dealer emailed making it sound like a great deal but we know how that goes.Look around for one on the lot somewhere, you might get lucky and find one at a greatly reduced price from ordering. Elites are kind of rare, but they are out there. Like I said, I got mine for almost $10,000 under sticker, as it was the last 19 on the lot. I got it for basically the same price as the 2020 base model parked right next to it. Search nationwide, and for that kind of saving, you can get it shipped home, and still have saved money rather than doing a factory order. I'm not even sure you can still order a 20??? I think they are building the 21's by now. Good luck. Keep us posted.
