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.

This man's sense of humor is classic military. As a Navy and Air Force vet, this video is amazing. Thank you for your service.

Murphys oil soap for hardwood floors is the best detailing soap for taking off bugs, tar, permanent marker, stickers etc... on automotive paint surfaces. A custom car friend of mine turned me on to this stuff yrs ago.

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.

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.

Thank you for the final pep talk lol because I REALLY wanna buy a Wagoner but online reviews are killing me. I love it more than any vehicle out there, and I test drove it yesterday and it was soo smooth.

Custer State Park does NOT suck, great park. Great hiking trails, beautiful lakes to fish and swim in. Buffalo herds, and mule deer running around. If you just drove around, I can see why you might think that.

Bro, you need your own show. Although I like this vehicle I will probably never get it bcuz I can't afford it, yet I watched the whole video. I truly appreciate you just keeping it real. I can't keep up, I'm still just trying to get nice rims for my Jeep SRT, LOL. Stay real, stay blessed brutha.

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. NYC/Virginia

Love the Wagoneer....floats down the road over bumps and quiet. Steering very easy makes the big SUV feel small. Sits on a 2500 frame so kids and wife are safer while on the road.

This is awesome! Placed an order on the Grand W. Short back and can't wait! We're in the queue line next to build. Happy about your review. Thanks for sharing.

Good information. Glad to see another new video from you.

Nice video and great content on your review on this vehicle and your experience on the road trip. Came across this just now and I was curious on why u where trading it. I myself just purchased a 23 wagoneer 4x2 with the incline 6. So far so good but I am blown away on how comfortable the drive is from driving a ram 5.7 for 6 years. Keep up the great reviews on this outstanding vehicle.

The reason why there aren't guardrails in most western states is because of snow removal. You can't push the snow off the road(s) if there are guardrails.

I was considering a new GW. How well does your truck fit in Your garage?

You’re 100% correct. Topping off is always good policy. We do the same. One never knows when you might get stuck in traffic or end up in an area w/o power.

I'm glad you put this video out as I've been nervous to head out on my long road trip. I've read some horror stories on the Facebook wagoneer pages

Perfect video. I love the Grand Wagoner Absidion. Will be getting it all BLACKED OUT with the tan interior,and all options. Good luck,and the new owner will be getting a well maintained Wagoner .

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. Great video btw

I haven't watched any of your videos in a while, good to hear your voice and hope all is good.

Thank you for educating me as I am looking at purchasing one of the Grand Wagoneer L. I appreciate you

I have an 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with a 5.7 what's a multi-displacement engine and I can also use regular 87 octane gas or 91 and sometimes I use e85 and it still runs great it's how you take care of it and it's paid off too

Listen TY for actually exploring Chicago! I moved there in 2020, being from Wisconsin I knew it was an awesome place to be. He said it, it’s clean!!! I worked in the east coast and lived in Philly for 8 months and lemme tell you it’s day and night! ❤❤❤

Pucker Factor...coal into diamonds 😂😂😂

Looks good. I wish it would have a diesel option. I like my Yukon xl with 3.0 duramax, 28 mpg on freeway

You broke my heart, then mended it with upgrading!!! I'm seriously thinking of the Wagoneer vs the X7!!

Welcome to the Midwest where the bugs fly wild. We only worry about bug removal when I have trouble seeing out of the windshield 😂

i actually don't use built in oil life meter, because i don't want it go off at 90% when i'm on my way somewhere, so i set one of customizable digits to permanently display oil mileage... certainly hope the new full digital cluster did not loose the function the old 7" center displays could provide

I am in the market for a new SUV and you just made my choices harderr, I have been looking at the Lincoln and the GMC now tomorrow I am going to my local Chrysler dealer. So thank very much

Great video, definitely a must watch if planning on getting a Wagoneer

I love watching videos from Fellow Jeep lovers ....great video 😊

Great video. How would you compare it to the 2021 Tahoe and the ford Expeditions?

Really appreciate your review ! Actually own a 2022 ram and looking into one of those with a kid, an other one on the road and a BMD that weights 95 pounds! Got a question. Why 91 with a Hemi? I own a Ram with 5.7 and owned a 6.4 and it can be driven with 87 and 89! For the tires, I always switch OEM ones. The 2023-2024 seems to come with nexen tires. Bf and falken does really nice all terrain tires! You were in the MP? Leo here for 9 years now. Thanks for your service ! And again, really nice and honest review!

You summa...I swear to Jesus!! I'm glad I came across this video. I'm talking my wife into getting a wagoneer as her new vehicle. She will def be watching this. Thank you for such an honest review. Absolutely loved it.

Please share a link to the 2024 Wagoneer. I've only seen info on the 2024 electric version. I can't believe the 2022/2023's Wagoneer Series 3 don't have power fold mirrors as an option. Only available with the Grands. Is that standard in the 2024's? With a vehicle that wide, it should be standard. Thanks!

Loved the video!!! Would you recommend the Grand Wagoneer or just the standard Wagoneer? Thanks again for service ☺️

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.

Hey, a couple things. Our 23 GW IIi came with 22” wheels. The spare is a useless 18”. I never had issues with gas. I drive it almost to empty and at time I got the warning light. I averaged 15mpg over the 11k miles.

you had me at pucker factor lol

Love to hear about your road trip but DAMN 30 minutes just to find out you love it and upgrading 😂😂

This guy took a 6,000 mile road trip with a baby... #turbodadmode

Good video. With my growing family I was looking at either Tahoe or ford expedition and completely left out the wagoneer. Are you glad you went with the wagoneer compared to other large suvs like the expedition or Tahoe? I may need to reconsider the wagoneer especially with he longer version. With your next Wagoneer I would recommend getting the front PPF’d. Would give you peace of mind knowing you can can spray and wipe with some elbow grease and not scratch up the paint. Brave family doing that road trip with a baby !

As a Chicagoian (born and raised), im so glad your visit here changed your worldview on us as a city. It truly is a magnificent city that gets its name drug through the mud by the media. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Were you at the McCormick center by any chance?

I love my wagoneer! I’ve had no issues if anything I’m going to trade it and get the carbide or obsidian because I want black on black everything ! Best suv I’ve owned so far! I got rid of my Tahoe for the wagoneer.

wet down drier sheets in warm water, takes bugs off without scrubbing hard

My 2022 GWIII Drives and steers itself on the highway. Not as impressive as Super Cruise from Cadillac but it does well

Hey man! I just stumbled across your channel. I have a video for you to watch. Auto Auction Rebuilds Grand Wagoneer experience and see how much miles he put in a month. Just saying maybe you would want to watch that idk. Cool video man! Have a great day!

The good old days of going off-road and not worrying about it.

I dont need an SUV that big but if I did the Wagoneer would certainly be at the top of the list

Total click bait title! Still gave a thumbs up, cause that’s how I roll. Good review overall.

So glad Itook time to listen to your video. Heard so much negativity about JEEP. Every car has something wrong with it, thats why we are given warranties. I gonna trade in my JEEP CHEROKEE L fo a WAGONEER, Thanks for the heads up.

You sound like you're a Texan with an east coast accent. 😝 Great review!

Awesome review sir.

Should I get naval federal to finance my grand Cherokee and go for the full loaded one being my last truck I have a ram 1500 warlock 22 last payment coming in December been looking at a road trip truck

I took my 2012 Jeep Liberty across the country without a problem. She had 150,000 miles with a rebuilt transmission. Extra large trunk. Extra clean and in new condition in silver gray! She can tow up to 5,000 lbs. The Jeep Liberty was designed to replace the classic Cherokee. I get about 15 city 🏙️ and 25 highway 🛣️ Whenever l travel 🧳 l keep at least 1/2 tank of gas. While an Uber driver here in Las Vegas traffic l’m lucky to keep a 1/4 of tank of gas. It cost over $100 dollars 💸 to fill the tank. ⛽️😳 I served in the Army Reserves and the US Navy. 🇺🇸 Thanks for your service!

I have U-connect in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, 2022, and my Chrysler 300c Platinum 2019, never a problem. We just bought a new Grand Wagoneer with a 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane inline-six that is outstanding and has the latest U-Connect system. Ours is not the L, it is the Series 3 regular length and I too am sick to death of people telling me Jeep has issues. I have never owned anything but Chrysler vehicles and the only problem I have had is a faulty battery in a 2015 Chrysler 300c, which was replaced under warranty.

Great review!!

Do you have some type of gas discounts? Only premium and only sport mode? How is that feasible in this vehicle?

Good review. I like your neighborhood. We're a military family also - dad was army then airforce. I'm contractor.

Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰

My wife is looking to buy a wagoneer, how important to buy base vs II vs III VS grand wagoneer Thanks for your service

I have a 2022 with the 5.7L and I recently rented a 2023 with the twin tubos and that's the worst thing Jeep did to this vehicle. The new Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneer no longer comes with the Hemi 5.7L or the 6.2L. The average mile I got was 13.5 mpgs on the highway

LOVED you calling out those "brand-nomers"! I hate that crap! They all talk their crap as if their "BRAND" is absolutely flawless and perfect, which is impossible. I've been Mopar my entire life, and all of the good FAR outweighs the little gremlins and annoyances. I'm on my third Powerwagon right now, and it's not my third because I got rid of the previous two because of problems, it's just about upgrading to newer models and getting newer gadgets and gizmo's and features. I really love the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer and I'm sure one of those is in my near future as we have a big family with lots of stuff and we like to travel. I just gotta check the tow capacity and towing reviews for the RV pulling.

I always top off too, many of my friends use to make fun of me for always having a full tank in both my vehicles, and YES, it's a Military thing. II served in the USN. Learned a lot being in the service. Its the right thing to keep your vehicles topped off at all times, because you never know when you must get up and get out of dodge in a hurry.

Man, you may know your vehicles, but you sure don't know your bugs in spite of the fact that you're a former soldier. Lol And thank you for your service. By the way, that was the dragonfly that was stuck in your grill just saying. Keep up the great work !

So your trading it in for the wagoneer L? Grand or just regular one? 6.4 or the hurricane motor?

I like the dodge Durango R/T what do you feel about them good or not the all wheel drive ones

You got a new subscriber. Nice video

Which year and model this car ?

Great video good information 👌

Was behind a new Grand Wagoner painted in black with chrome shinny wheels and trim while waiting in line to get my hamburger at Carls Jr. I am in my baby Promaster City van. One: that big Jeep is really big! Two: it’s a beautiful really good looking Jeep. Did I mention it was really big?

like to get one to tow my airstream. dealers don't order the hd tow package so no new or used, like the light color int , when I tow drive for a hour, stop, top off it ease the pain if you are on empty and have to fill up

Grand Wagoneer S3 Obsidian owner here! Totally get what you mean with the Uconnect… very buggy. Actually had the entire screen replaced because it was so slow. I’ve had my share of issues with it… 7 service appointments for random issues not including the 3 recalls YTD. Don’t regret buying it in the slightest love the 6.4. What’s your reasoning for not liking the 6.4?

New follower here. I enjoyed your video. I have a 2023 grand cherokee and its got 10000 miles. The starter gets stuck sometimes when I push the button. Did your wagoneer do this?

Me USAF 1984-90 had just topped off at Baker summit, got back on the 15 heading to Vegas from So Cal 2mi up the 15 sadly a multicar fatality accident had occurred, sat on the 15 freeway in 110 degree heat for 4 hours, I was good. Kept my water bottles for you know what else millitary training teaches us about disposing of our bio waste and the enemy not being able to follow a waste trail. Thanks for the great review. Will you be happy with the new straight Twin turbo in line 6?

Thx for the video

Hi handsome. Great channel and car review. A couple of questions: 1st , Im 46 years old , do you recommend joining the army for 2 or 4 years? 2nd , how did your cabin handle the outside noises? 3rd was the cabin sealed from dust and wind ? 4th would you consider getting a 2024 Lexus GX 550 Luxury + or the GX overtrail + ?

Never had a issue with my uconnect. Had screen delamination, but never a glitch with software. If I was going to king size my suv, I'd probably after towards Cadillac. But Durango is big enough for my needs and I still get to keep my SRT driving experience.

Oh and by the way, dont worry about uconnect. There was a huge improvement between my 19 ram and my actual 22. They’ll fix it up!

Nice video!! Will your next one be longer base or just reconfigured in the inside, personally I like the vehicle!!

So your upgrading to the Wagoneer L with the new hurricane engine as well. If you ever have to reset the radio hood the power and tuner button for a few seconds.

So did you trade it in yet? Looking forward to seeing a review on the new one. 😊

A 2500 Dodge pickup crew cab extended frame with a ARE shell and a Cummins will do 18 per gallon on freeway and towing is 18 thousand pounds

I have 17k miles on my Grand Wagonner. Once you experience the drivers cooler, you will never go back. 😁

Aye Ron.. good to see you. I have a suggestion for you... Put a air ride kit on the vehicle lol

only thing i want to say after a great review like this is.. topping off isnt great for the car itself though. I was taught in winter you fill it at the half way mark, summer you wait until you get down to 20% to preserve the cars life span. I understand your reasoning and it makes sense but im not sure that should be 'the norm'

As a Chevrolet guy, I’m strongly considering a Wagoneer. What’s your opinion to take me over the hump?

Great story. Love it

Thanks!

Please consider PPF to the front of your vehicle. Hurt watching how many bugs and rock chips on the front of the truck. On our trips for family of 5 we needed to add Thule trailer hitch for added room inside, way better! We have a 22 Yukon. Nice vid Sir!

19.2 average is not bad at all for such a big SUV.

He is actually admiring vehicle, i hv Honda pilot gives 18 milage with 280 HP, and this big bull gives 20 ! It can lower self ! Don’t like looks but big comfy vehicle

One car company I have had several cars from that has never had any problems is Hyundai. The new palisade is super nice too.

Quick trick for bugs when you travel. On a freshly cleaned car apply paste wax to the front end and don't wipe it off, at the end of the day wipe it off and reapply the next day.

I use cheap gas in mine it has the 5.7 notice no difference. Didn’t even realize it said to use premium.

I miss hearing "you think that you are fast? You're not fast".

Great video

We enjoy our 23 GC with a new baby we will be looking at the wagoneer maybe with the in-line turbo 6

i like and watched your channel but now different question: where did you buy your cap and t-shirt?
