Puente Hills Jeep – Why the 2026 Jeep Compass Trailhawk® Fits Weekend Life around Whittier, CA

Trail-ready confidence meets weekday practicality in the 2026 Jeep® Compass Trailhawk®—a compact SUV that’s equally at home on a rutted service road or a downtown curbside pickup. It anchors the Compass lineup’s off-road bona fides with the Jeep® Active Drive Low 4×4 System and a 20:1 crawl ratio that helps you ease over loose rock and rut transitions with careful throttle control. Standard Falken® WILDPEAK® All-Terrain Tires add surefooted grip and puncture resistance, while Hill Descent Control manages braking on steep declines so you can concentrate on line choice. When the dirt ends and the drive back to Whittier begins, heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the quiet composure of its high-strength body structure bring you back to a calm, connected headspace.

Technology isn’t an afterthought—it’s a daily companion in the 2026 Compass Trailhawk®. Uconnect® 5 runs on a crisp 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® support and Android Auto™ compatibility; add the available 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display to curate trail telemetry, navigation prompts, and driver-assist status in one glanceable panel. Safety and driver assistance remain top of mind, with seven airbags and available Active Driving Assist providing an added layer of support on longer freeway stints. And because weekend plans don’t always travel light, the Compass offers an unsurpassed-in-class standard 2,000-lb towing capacity to haul a small utility trailer, plus a cargo hold that expands to 59.8 cu ft with the second row folded for bulky camping gear or bikes.

• Trail hardware that matters: Jeep® Active Drive Low 4×4 with a 20:1 crawl ratio, Hill Descent Control, and Selec-Terrain® with an exclusive Rock mode.
• Grip where it counts: Standard Falken® WILDPEAK® All-Terrain Tires for traction and durability on mixed terrain.
• Everyday comfort: Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard for year-round usability.
• Intuitive connectivity: Uconnect® 5 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and available 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display.
• Capability you can use: Up to 2,000 lbs of towing and flexible cargo volume for real-life hauling.

Curious which features you’ll appreciate most if you split time between pavement and path? For many shoppers, the confidence from standard 4×4, a full-size spare tire, and under-tread durability from the WILDPEAK® setup are decisive. Others value how quickly the Selec-Terrain® system adapts to changing surfaces or how well the available Active Driving Assist reduces fatigue on longer drives home after a day out. The Trailhawk® makes these decisions easier by packaging the right capability, then layering in technology that remains easy to use and easy to live with.

Puente Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is serving Whittier, Covina, and Pomona with a thoughtful, guided approach to the Trailhawk®—from walkarounds that compare systems like Selec-Terrain® and Jeep® Active Drive Low 4×4 to personalized test loops that show how Hill Descent Control feels in real time. Bring your questions about accessories, recovery gear, or how to configure the digital displays for trail days—we’ll help you set it up once, and enjoy it every day thereafter.
