Jeep has a long history of producing legendary vehicles. The Wrangler, the Cherokee, and the Gladiator are all names with decades of history behind them. However, there is one storied name that has been absent from the Jeep lineup since 1991. The iconic Wagoneer was Jeep’s family-friendly full-size SUV from its introduction in 1963 until it left production nearly three decades later. However, this popular model is now back and better than ever in the shape of the 2022 Wagoneer. This fully-redesigned take on the classic Jeep model promises to provide the same comfort and capability, updated to include modern styling and luxury features. In fact, this model is being released as a premium extension of the Jeep brand.
With the traditional body on frame construction giving it the rugged strength needed to stand up to the rigors of the trail, the full-size 2022 Wagoneer is set to revitalize a shrinking segment of the industry and take on established models like the Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Ford Explorer. Three rows of seats, lots of cargo space, and solid tow ratings make this new luxury SUV a winner for busy families and hardcore adventures alike. However, the new Wagoneer also pushes new boundaries with its modernized design and plenty of cutting-edge technology to keep you and your passengers safe and entertained wherever you go.

The 2022 Wagoneer is a traditional full-size SUV. What does that mean? It means that the Wagoneer uses a rugged body on frame construction rather than the car-like unibody construction found on most modern vehicles. That not only gives the Wagoneer greater strength and resiliency, but it also helps give it a high tow rating of up to 10,000 pounds. As a full-size SUV, the Wagoneer offers more interior space than even the new three-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Together, these features make the Wagoneer an unbeatable combination of reliability and versatility that virtually any driver will appreciate.
The backbone of the new Wagoneer is a tough solid-steel frame based on the frame of the Ram 1500 full-size pickup truck. The Ram 1500 is an incredibly popular and capable truck, so the frame is a great starting point for building a worthy successor to the Jeep Wagoneer of the past. However, the designers of the Wagoneer have made some modifications to the frame to better fit with an SUV. The most obvious of these is a switch to an independent rear suspension.
Although a solid rear axle is a prized feature among hardcore off-road enthusiasts and part of what makes the Jeep Wrangler so legendary, the independent rear suspension offers many benefits. These include a lower cargo load floor and more legroom for rear-seat passengers. An independent rear suspension also does a better job of absorbing impacts and providing a comfortable ride on all types of terrain.
The 2022 Wagoneer is larger than any Jeep model built, towering over even the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L. However, it is also larger than competing full-size models from other manufacturers. Compared to the current market-leading Chevy Tahoe, the Wagoneer has a longer wheelbase and greater overall length. This gives you more usable room without having to opt for an extended-length version. No matter how much space you need to fit your family, friends, pets, gear, and more, the Wagoneer has you covered.
The 2022 Wagoneer should not be confused with the 2022 Grand Wagoneer. The Grand Wagoneer is not a larger version of the Wagoneer. It is the same size as the base Wagoneer but offers a more upscale design and additional premium features.

When it comes to power and performance, the new 2022 Wagoneer is a traditional full-size SUV, and under the hood you will find a standard 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine shared with the Grand Cherokee. However, this capable and reliable engine comes with a unique twist for the Wagoneer - the addition of the eTorque mild hybrid system that is also found on the Wrangler’s V6. This setup uses a small electric motor attached to the battery that provides additional low-end torque and a small boost to fuel economy, which helps this large vehicle achieve its remarkable performance. Of course, the Wagoneer also brings Jeep’s unique level of off-road performance to what is increasingly considered a boring type of family vehicle.
Many of Jeep’s SUV models are known for offering surprisingly good towing for their size, and the new 2022 Wagoneer, while an extension of the Jeep brand, is no exception. While it is not uncommon to see a full-size SUV being used to pull a boat or trailer, the Wagoneer takes SUV towing to new heights with its impressive maximum towing rating of no less than 10,000 pounds. For comparison, the 2021 Chevy Tahoe tops out at 8,400 pounds and even the mighty 2021 Ford Expedition is only rated to haul 9,300 pounds. This best-in-class towing rating is partially made possible by the Jeep eTorque system, which provides a torque boost when getting started.
The Wagoneer may be a comfortable family vehicle that can fit your kids and their friends in its three rows of seats, but it wouldn’t be a true SUV if it couldn’t hold its own on the trail. The solid body on frame construction is a key element in providing the 2022 Wagoneer with the strength to hold up to whatever you might encounter out in the wild. However, the designers of the Wagoneer have also included its highly capable 4x4 systems, providing you with the traction you need to safely and confidently handle rain, ice, and mud. When you slip behind the wheel of this full-size SUV, you will know that you can go anywhere without fear, thanks to the reliable performance that only a true SUV can deliver.

The 2022 Wagoneer is the resurrection of a classic name, but it has been reimagined with all the most modern features available. Inside of this comfortable and capable vehicle, you will discover everything you and your passengers need to stay connected and entertained when out on the road. The Wagoneer also incorporates all of Jeep’s most cutting-edge driver assistance features, helping you to stay safe wherever you go.
With a cabin boasting large screens and high-quality speakers, the new Wagoneer offers a premium infotainment experience for all of its passengers. Whether you enjoy listening to audiobooks, streaming music via your smartphone, or tuning in to one of the hundreds of channels available through SiriusXM satellite radio, the Wagoneer will keep you entertained as you drive. All of these features and more are accessed through the large central touchscreen and the intuitive Uconnect infotainment system. A mix of steering wheel-mounted buttons and responsive voice commands make it even easier to select the entertainment that you want without taking your eyes off the road.
The 2022 Wagoneer’s infotainment system is not limited to entertainment alone. You can also enjoy full smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a variety of other modern apps and technologies. Smartphone integration not only allows you to play music and stream other content through the Wagoneer’s infotainment system, but it also allows you to access other valuable features. For instance, even without available built-in navigation, you can display directions and navigation details from your smartphone to your SUV’s infotainment screen. Further, you can take advantage of additions like a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot and even Amazon Alexa, making the 2022 Wagoneer one of the most convenient vehicles on the road.
