What do you get when you cross pollinate the rugged bones of the JeepWrangler Unlimited with the road handling refinement of the premium Jeep Grand Cherokee? Well, attendees of the 2007 Detroit Auto Show got a glimpse of what Chrysler's “stork” delivered with the unveiling of the Jeep Trailhawk concept.

Jeep's long lasting heritage started in World War II, where agile four-wheel drive vehicles were used for reconnaissance and other various army duties that required rugged capabilities. Although still used in military applications today, the more widespread function of the atypical Jeep is for recreational off-road excursions or for weekend trips to the campsite.

So where does the four-door Trailhawk concept fit within the Jeep family? As eluded to earlier this concept is built on the Wrangler platform, allowing the body on frame Trailhawk to fill the gap between the off-road oriented Wrangler and the more civilized Grand Cherokee. We see a production Trailhawk, if produced, marketed against the likes of Toyota's FJ Cruiser, Nissan's Xterra, and even Land Rover's LR3.

Though ready

and able to tackle the back country, the Trailhawk is no slouch on the asphalt. Powered by a 3.0-liter V6 Bluetec diesel that generates a respectable 215 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 376 lb-ft of torque between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm, the Trailhawk can propel its 3,900 lb body from zero to 60 in about 9 seconds, and a quarter mile in 15.7 seconds. Mated to a five-speed automatic, the 4-wheel drive Trailhawk rests on a solid axle with four bar links up front, while the rear solid axle is connected with five links. Sporting 22-inch, five spoke wheels wrapped in specially designed low profile 305/45R tires, the Trailhawk should be able to tackle the best and worst of road conditions with comfort and ease. It certainly looks like it could go anywhere.
