Priced: 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Starts at $87k | Edmunds
What’s Under the Hood?
While Jeep insists that the Grand Wagoneer and its lesser sibling are built on a unique platform, we can’t help but notice that they share a lot of hardware with their not-so-distant cousin, the Ram 1500 pickup truck. The regular Wagoneer gets a 5.7-liter V8 paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, just like the Ram, while the Grand Wagoneer comes standard with a 6.4-liter V8 that puts out 471 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque, easily topping the regular Wagoneer’s 392 hp and 404 lb-ft.
The Grand Wagoneer’s standard integrated Class IV trailer hitch can handle up to 9,860 pounds, while the standard Wagoneer can tow as much as 10,000 pounds. These are class-leading numbers right out of the gate.
While the 6.4-liter V8 is the only Grand Wagoneer engine we know about so far, there are a number of possibilities for the future. Glancing at the Dodge-Jeep-Ram portfolio, we’re thinking that a diesel V6, a plug-in hybrid and maybe even a Grand Wagoneer Hellcat could be in the pipeline. Okay, maybe that last one is wishful thinking, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
