High-performance SUVs and trucks are quite popular nowadays, so automakers and tuners both strive to keep up with the demand. For today, let us watch an insightful video pitting together two such beasts – a tuned Hennessey Mammoth 1000 TRX and a stock Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Which one will dominate the quarter-mile strip?
Before you hit Play, let us remind you that both come powered by the same 6.2-liter turbocharged V8 by default. The Mammoth makes use of numerous costly upgrades that enable it to slam the wheels with 1,026 PS (1,012 hp / 755 kW) and 1314 Nm (969 lb-ft) of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is tasked with delivering the momentum to the four wheels.
In turn, the Trackhawk looks almost pale in comparison with its 707 PS (697 hp / 520 kW) and 875 Nm (645 lb-ft) of torque. It also goes AWD with an eight-speed auto. On the other hand, it easily beats Hennessey’s beast in terms of weight, tipping the scales at around 2,400 kilos (5,291 lbs) versus 3,200 kg (7,055 lbs).
