completely agree. I'm trading my New Grand Cherokee Summit for a Series 1 Wagoneer, and I am more than happy with all the Series 1 offers! It's perfect, especially with young kids.
Thanks for showing the base trim. They are rare among TH-cam reviewers. The MSRP is about 64K with AWD. but with dealer discounts it is sold for 60K I would add passenger info screen, panoramic sun roof and possibly bigger wheels and a tow package unless it has one already but I fear that would double the price
This will be perfect for the wife... Everyone wants a big V8; 392HP, 404lb feet of torque. Fixed sidesteps for easy entry and enough space for a LARGE family. 👪 Independent front AND rear suspension... She'll feel safe in this; a big upgrade! 😉
Sat in a series 2 at the dealer while servicing my gladiator. Nicest vehicle I’ve ever sat in. the first thing I thought was how amazing it would feel to be able to get one for the wife. Still trying to figure out how to afford one lol
The one thing I love about Jeep is that they don't force you to go up to a Series II/III to get goodies like a 360° cam, real leather, cooled seats/heated rear seats, and other desirable items. Sure the wheels look laughably small on something so large(nothing a 3" lift on 35s won't fix), but for the money, it is one of the best values in the class. The Series II Carbide edition is the sweet spot though.
Exactly!!! You can get the full sunroof system front and rear, completely decked out interior, with the passenger side touch screen and all the bells and whistles that only come on some 80-90k or more Yukon Or top of the line Tahoe… vehicles that are
Companies need to give out base models as press vehicles, this series 1 is definitely the best bang for the buck. I'm sick of hearing dohhh it's overpriced 80k-100k Jeep. This is all the same underpinnings in the 65k range. Just picked up my series 1 two weeks ago, loving it!!!
Just rented one of these from Enterprise. Got us up to south shore lake tahoe but was dead in the water after sitting out in the low 30 degree temps. Wasn't from leaving ignition or lights on either. Battery had to be fully charged after a 5 hour drive right? Even a 5 minute jump start wouldn't revive it. Read that these have a serious electrical drain coming from possibly the entertainment system or something. Had to Lyft 40 miles to get a replacement since it happened on a Sunday, an absolute nightmare when on vacation with kids waiting and snow all around. Sorry, I know its the last thing Jeep fans want to hear but I know after reading other reviews on this model this is not a one-off thing.
This is exactly what I just picked up, didn’t need the air suspension and power folding steps and other crap that will break. Still has cooled seats adaptive cruise without spending 90k
I’m trying to build one today and there is not option for the v8 but it still lets me build without selecting v6. Will they build it with a v8 by default?
Just finished up paperwork and drove her home! She is in a Luxury White shell and just gorgeous! She also has everything I could possibly need, not to mention space, storage and comfort! Welcome to the fam, girly! We'll take good care of you!!
Mine was 68k sticker and was this with adaptive cruise, didn’t get back monitors but who needs them when every kid over 3 has iPads and iPhones these days.
I have been shopping for a series 1 and decided to look at a series 2 to see what goodies justify the price. It was literally the same thing just 20” wheels instead of 18”. I asked the salesman what the difference was and he changed the topic. When I told him it was identical inside to a series 1 he agreed there wasn’t a difference. Just get the Series II badge on the back.
A little misleading. This is a series one but it does have the convenience package giving it the 360 camera, rear sun shades, and a few other big changes.
Don’t buy! I just bought one 2 weeks ago, Having trouble with the wagoneer I 1. Went through the car wash and got to the end of the wash & it stop completely and I could not start it back up for several minutes. This was the second time it cut completely off on me and not start for a few minutes. 2. Today I did not drive it but got in it after work, it would not start, kept telling me to get the key & I had the key pushing the start button. Since I was home I decided to just let the window up and get out of it, the alarm went off & then the drivers window wouldn’t go up and it locked me in for several minutes. This was the second time it did not start. 3. The radio keeps malfunctioning and sometimes after a call comes through it won’t even come back on. Alexa works sometimes & sometimes it does not .
Garbage. Expensive garbage. I gave up on Chrysler crap after 2 durangos and a compass. They all had atrocious running costs from broken everything to gas and normal maintenance. Quality issues in every system. Dealer was horrible…liars and cheats. Paint was trash. $100k for a decked out trash can with a bunch of shiny plastic. Let’s give these models 3 years and see how many black dots CR gives it. I still don’t know who the target audience is? Rich kids under 30? $60-100k? That buys a hell of alot of other much more proven and reliable trucks. Also, I hate electric but this is where cars are going.. what’s this truck get probably 12 mpg, I didn’t look so I don’t know. Give it 7 years and it will be canned.
Who isn’t crap for reliability these days? Even Honda Subaru have issues and the great Toyota has brand new vehicles with that new engine 500 miles and won’t run anymore.
Compared to expedition Tahoe or Yukon? Absolutely not, with gm you don’t get cooled seats without top trims. Even then they don’t work because they are missing a chip that sometimes can be “added later”….
The base model of the Jeep Wagoneer will be good enough for me. It has enough features to fit me just fine.

small wheels better than big

Lol

Does any know why there is liquid dropping at 8:10 ? That does not seem to be water from AC since the engine was not on before that. Thanks.
The byproducts from a combustion engine are CO, CO2, N2 and H2O also known as water.

Wagoneer is a awesome family SUV

It's hard to get excited about this because of Bidens horrible economy and his administration's high gas prices.

Welcome to the fam, girly! We'll take good care of you!!
I'm surprised that the base wagoneer came with leather seats instead of cloth, like other base model SUVs in the segment.
Good enough for me! Better than the Tahoe!
This is my favorite SUV! Amazing job Ben.
Great review on the Jeep wagoneer 2022. Im getting one today:)
If this had standard adaptive cruise, WHICH IT SHOULD, then I’d do it…. You have to add the $3,500 package for it 😤…. so I’m still shopping

series 2 is a series i with the added features as “standard” instead of the 3600 and 2500 optional packages as a series I
$70,000 without a panoramic sunroof?
A little misleading. This is a series one but it does have the convenience package giving it the 360 camera, rear sun shades, and a few other big changes.
Rented a series I from Avis to drive around the Texas triangle and a lot of countryside. It sure was a fun car to drive :)
Does the series 1 Jeep grand come standard with parallel and perpendicular park assist?
I like wagoneer. I love it. Can you make a video compare wagoneer vs Sequioa
@Ben Hardy do those come with ventilated rear seats?
Reliability is suspect as are all Jeeps.

This man loves his Trim
Still to expensive
Depressing Grey or Death Black interior colors from 1990 🤮🤮🤮

Not as good as defender
Different classes
This would swallow a defender with room to spare.
Seen a bunch of defenders broken down..
This one doesn't come with attached flatbed to tow to the shop. And the G-Wagen 4x4² is better than the Defender. See what I did there?😂
@@hellkitty1014 The Wrangler Bronco and the 4 Runner are also better than the Defend... i mean Offender
70k and it looks like a 2010 Honda Pilot
Looks great. Too bad FCA reliability is crap.
Who isn’t crap for reliability these days? Even Honda Subaru have issues and the great Toyota has brand new vehicles with that new engine 500 miles and won’t run anymore.
Talk about overpriced....
How when each of its competitors don't offer this level of options for the same price?
@@hellkitty1014 exactly… if it only had adaptive cruise standard, then it’d be the best value hands down…
Compared to expedition Tahoe or Yukon? Absolutely not, with gm you don’t get cooled seats without top trims. Even then they don’t work because they are missing a chip that sometimes can be “added later”….
