Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk for BeamNG.drive
The Trackhawk is the kind of machine that shouldn’t work on paper: a two-tonne family SUV with supercar-baiting straight-line speed. This BeamNG.drive build leans into that contradiction with one fully equipped 2018 Trackhawk-style configuration, PBR materials, a strong engine, and aggressive body kit styling. It is made for highway pulls, drag runs, roleplay, screenshots, and simple crash scenarios where you want bulk and pace in the same vehicle.
How it drives
Acceleration is the headline here, and it is genuinely brutal for something this size. From a standing start or out of a corner, feed the throttle in gradually, because dumping full power upsets the rear and wastes the launch. Once moving, it is stable on highways and big test maps, but the weight and ride height are always present: braking distances grow quickly, and sharp steering or late braking makes it feel far less direct than a low sports car. Smooth, measured inputs get the best out of it. Park it next to sedans, hatchbacks, and sports cars, and you can really feel the difference in mass, grip, and crash behavior.
What you get
The single configuration is a deliberate choice — one consistent setup means you can repeat acceleration runs, braking tests, and crash scenarios without juggling variants. PBR materials make the paint, panels, trim, and lights respond well to changing light, and the body kit gives it a meaner street-build stance that fits garage scenes, traffic shots, and cinematic clips. For crash testing, results shift with speed, angle, surface, and impact point, so a low-speed traffic tap looks nothing like a flat-out highway hit.
Installing is simple: drop the .zip straight into your BeamNG.drive mods folder — don’t unzip it — and it appears in the in-game selector. New to mods? Our BeamNG.drive installation guide walks through every step.
🔧 Our Test Notes
Hands-on notes from the CrashMods team
In a catalog where packs brag about 93 or 102 configurations, a mod that ships exactly one feels almost defiant—and here it's the right call. One consistent Trackhawk spec means every acceleration pull, braking test, and crash scenario is repeatable, which makes this one of the better benchmark vehicles we host almost by accident; if you want variants to browse, though, this isn't that mod. The party trick itself defies physics: two tonnes of family SUV with a launch pace that embarrasses sports cars—though the launch wants patience, because dumping everything at once just lights up the rear and wastes the run, so roll the throttle in and let it hook up. And the mass never takes a day off: braking distances balloon from speed, quick direction changes remind you of the ride height, and honestly that contrast is half the fun—park it beside a hatchback, run the same crash in both, and you get a masterclass in what weight does. The PBR paint and body-kit stance photograph means the best way. Tested on BeamNG 0.38.
