    We are buying a used 2022 Wagoneer Series III to tow behind our RV and it’s big enough to tow our Tri-toon boat and selling a 2000 Jeep GC and 2013 Yukon Denali. It will be nice to get rid of 2 cars for 1 dual purpose vehicle. We are excited to have it shipped to us soon. Thank you for your service!

    A few things, just to help if you didn’t know, which you probably already do.
    (1) You have to get the Wagoneer “L” or Grand Wagoneer “L” to get the extended wheelbase.
    (2) you can extend the Jeep’s bumper-to-bumper warranty up to 8 years / 125,000 miles
    (3) The new 3.0L Inline-6 has replaced the 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI engines, and most people agree that it is a better fit for the vehicle since it is smoother, nearly silent, and has way more power, plus marginally better MPG’s. You can get the V8 on the Series 1 variants, but not the Series 2, 3, or Carbide additions. Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L models are only available with the I-6. It is turbo charged.
    (3) Ford offers the best extended b-2-b policy, which covers the vehicle up to 10 years / 175,000 miles. The equivalent vehicle would be the Expedition MAX OR Navigator L, both of which also use turbo charged 6 cylinders.

    • @Japplesnap
      @Japplesnap 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Fun fact: The average engine consumes less than a half gallon of gas idling per hour. So even if you found yourself stuck in traffic for 10 straight hours, you wouldn't even use 5 gallons of gas. And with the typical 3 gallons of reserve capacity, you'd have to get stuck in that 10 hour traffic jam with your low fuel light on to even have any worries at all.

    2010 Jeep Commander 300000 miles no recall no problems for 13 years. First time needed to be towed was in February of 2023 when my water pump went. Would give anything to buy a Wagoneer but way out of my price range. Hope to keep “ Big Red” going for as long as possible. Love my Commander. Oh and my navigator never failed but WAZE has.

    Having a 2023 GW-L S3, I can attest to everything you referenced. The automated functions aren't perfect, of course (none of them in the industry have yet to have full confidence), but it's quite handy. Takes a bit to get used to, with just letting the vehicle completely take over aside from being able to halt itself at a stop light (barring there are no cars in front of you to give itself a signal to slow/stop). However, after being diagnosed with trigger point issues and it impacting use of my hands, being able to lean on the automated features when needed for an assist is great.

    I own the 2023 GW series 3. With 4 kids and the wife we drove it from Colorado to Florida and up the East Coast. Total of 11k miles with one accident. We were rear ended in Florida at a traffic light. So far the damage is estimated at 10k. So not the end of the world. All in all, this inline 6 SUV has been a top notch. Minor complaints that just are not worth mentioning except I do believe that the air circulation could be better. I am also going to trade ours in for the L version. Not that it is necessary for 70% of our driving, but that extra room on our road-trips would be welcomed.

    Hmmm.. You have a Wagoneer which means it has the 5.7L Hemi in there The recommended fuel for the Wagoneer is 89 octane but will run on 87 octane just fine. Premium fuel is not required. So you are incorrect in saying yours needs premium only. The only one that needs premium is the Grand Wagoneer with the 6.4L Hemi, which you do not have.

    • @EastCoastJeepSRT
      @EastCoastJeepSRT  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Octane ratings vary from state to state. Jeep recommends 89 minimum for the 5.7, although it “can” use 87 its not recommended. So technically you call anything under 91 octane “midrange” unless it’s 87 which would be considered “regular”. Not all gas has 10% Ethanol across the country either, and if you’ve ever raced anything in your life you know testing gas will tell you that just because the gas station says it’s “X” doesn’t mean it’s always good. So with the 5.7 I go with 91 minimum, Premium, because the higher octane is recommended. Don’t pull out technical specs here guy. You’re not talking to someone that doesn’t know what he’s talking about. No one says “midrange”. Anything not regular is premium gas. smfh

Just recently they have started to warranty the engine but have not addressed the thermostat which is the problem. Typical Chrysler BS. My diehard Dodge buddy just bought a new Ram with the 6 and got talked into buying a $4000 extended warranty to cover the engine problem that the Dodge Boys should be addressing, not selling warrenties to cover the crap they are producing.

      We did not like the way the Wagoneer looked ascetically in the beginning, but it grew on us. However, after one test drive we were sold. The space, comfort, and amenities it came with beat everything else we looked at. There’s just so much room and driving it feels like you’re sitting in a leather comforter kicked back in your Livingroom on football Sunday. Absolutely love driving it. For me the wk2 platform always looked the best, so when Jeep moved to the new platform I hated the “euro” look and the use of a dial to change gears. I don’t even think about that anymore and have grown to love its look

    Never use chemicals to remove bugs, just high pressurized water. And when possible clean using regular ‘seltzer’ water. ‘Synthetic’ oil change every 7500 miles. I hope you enjoy your Wagoneer because it’s a wonderful vehicle, and so wonderful to take across the country. It feels so safe and secure particularly when driving near 18 wheelers on those long picture perfect highways and byways. We Like stopping at every ‘eatery’ and trying out different foods, Texas has those huge beef ‘bar b q’ ribs, and visiting the amazing roadside hotels and taking pictures of great scenic routes. We’re also thinking about upgrading to the ‘Grand Wagoneer’ and installing a 35 inch flat screen television, and an inflatable bed, and a portable stove, and a tent stored on the roof. Enjoy.

      2. The Wagoneer’s canine handles outside noise incredibly well. It’s very quiet inside.
      3. No dust or wind gets in.
      4. Neither. Don’t know anything about them so I couldn’t give you an honest opinion.

Your cell phone is not using 100% GPS satellite for navigation that why that worked.

    I'm looking at the 2024 Grand Cherokee, just waiting for it to be announced. Currently have a 2016 Cherokee that has been flawless. Just 51000 miles, but other than tires, brakes, oil changes and inspections, nothing else wrong with it to date. Although looking at your interior, wish they would use less black piano pieces on the newer SUVs. You can see all the dust and finger prints. Like to see carbon fiber or even more leather on some of those surfaces.

      The Grand Cherokee has always been the best looking non-luxury SUV. The Wagoneer's exterior is very vanilla and has ZERO charisma. They could've incorporated some of the old Wagoneer features to make it resemble the iconic old Wagoneer shape. Picture John Candy's Wagoneer in "The Great Outdoors" with a modern flare.
