1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Start Up, Test Drive, and In Depth Review

[@t.p.i2289]

Me when I see a Lamborghini: 😐 Me when I see a Grand Wagoneer: 😃😃

[@daviddu6297]

100th like!

[@movieeditor5697]

So true

[@man_on_wheelz]

I know it's hard for a lot of people to visualize it but I really do have an appreciation for examining the style and design of an older car, admiring what the engineers and designers created at the time given the technology at hand. Like how the back opens up on this jeep, you put the key in, window rolls down, reach in and open it, that is so cool to me! Very clever! I can't tell you how many shoulders shrugged and eyes rolled when I tried to tell people about all the awesome features I discovered in a 1989 Lincoln Town Car I got to drive. An outdoor thermometer, plush seats, smooth ride, the powered smokers windows, this stuff fascinated me! But of course everyone I told about it was like "ughh who cares, cars today are so much more advanced than this" but that's not the point!!!

[@trevorphilips3230]

Jeep needs to bring back the wagoneer

[@lvtrunks2790]

They are for 2018!

[@TheRussianWookie]

Marcus Wilson yea it looks horrible

[@kingjlinza]

Trevor Philips apparently they are but I think it needs to have the wood trim on the side otherwise it’s just a larger Grand Cherokee

[@bradleyp33]

They made a concept of the Grand Wagoneer.

[@codyzent6471]

@@lvtrunks2790 lmao no. More like 2022

[@DustinB855]

thing is nicer than some modern suvs lol.

[@11094DEREK]

+DustinB855 Better sounding than them too

[@flight2k5]

DustinB855 no. These are actually garbage. Typical 1980s crap quality.

[@rustyshackleford1656]

flight2k5 not true at all these things are tough as hell, very tough and good off road

[@jonesbunny]

flight2k5 like ur moms

[@pdavidwichner4285]

Jeeps a tougher than u think 😐

[@kevinwoodard6571]

Grand Wagoneer is one of my favorite Jeeps of all time! I remember when the Grand Wagoneer was replaced by Grand Cherokee in 1992, as a 1993. Grand Cherokee was great during its first generation, but didn't care much for it after 1998.

[@rialbufames4023]

I had a 98 grand Cherokee Laredo when I lived in South Africa, comfy and that 4.0 sounded amazing

[@Kieryboo]

@@rialbufames4023 I'm the second owner of one just like that and I've still got mine. 309,780 miles on it as of yesterday. :)

[@tuturassure714]

This car is ... incredible ! I love the engine sound !!

[@lonespartan31289]

This is one of my favorite vehicles of all time. damn these things were beasts!

[@hubertwalter1749]

89? looks like out of the freakin 70s.

[@Sawashi32]

Yeah! back then Jeep took the BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche and Range Rover approach and kept the same basic body shape for decades.

[@saabkyle04]

+Hubert Walter More like 1963 haha

[@Davez621]

+Hubert Walter It looks beautiful. I wish these were sold in Australia.

[@RallyLancer95]

Looked like that til 1991

[@brigganthewolf1461]

***** he has no reviews of novas!

[@Tunnelvision2006]

Completely identical to my grandparent's Wagoneer, which was given away to a cousin around the time I bought my first car - a '98 Eclipse. I am Jeep for life now and constantly kicking myself in the butt for not buying their Wagoneer!

[@DonaldV8]

Before there were Escalades and Navigators, there was the Grand Wagoneer.

[@lsxpowered7178]

Donald V8 Exactly! Most people don't realize that this was supposed to be a luxury suv.

[@DonaldV8]

Sorry for my super late reply... But yeah, my guess is that people back then didn't see Jeep as a "luxury brand" like Cadillac or Lincoln.

[@Luxray694]

i always liked the Grand Wagoneers, perfect family vehicle in my opinion.

[@Phannty]

Our profile pics look alike lol

[@Luxray694]

+Insight Phantom that they do

[@dragasoni]

I always liked these as a kid growing up in the 80's and 90's. They're a timeless classic.

[@curtisbeck2796]

This wagoneer was way ahead of its time

[@rgrndu]

Love these older vehicle reviews. More...more!

[@Mannykeri]

dang that's a nice car. More of those 80s cars reviews please!

[@funkymunky]

One of my favorite Jeeps for sure! Absolutely timeless frame and aesthetics!

[@sportsdesigner]

I have a blue 89, in great shape, and it's been converted to fuel injection. a American classic! Thanks for doing the review

[@Sirberye]

I wish I had this. this is so fresh

[@WitchyWhale]

This is definitely a far cry from the junker you did years ago.

[@MPetrie14]

+Ianna Matney No that one was a 1987

[@WitchyWhale]

+HardcoreHockey I'm talking about condition

[@newfoundrooski]

+HardcoreHockey and it was silver coloured in stead of white.

[@IKhanNot]

+Ianna Matney Holy crap you just reminded me of that one. It's amazing how many years people have been subbed to Kyle's channel.

[@isaiahhenry91]

fr

[@IntelligentHorseworldofrandom]

Truly an amazing machine from that great decade! I'd still drive it!

[@FCV0511]

I love seeing classic cars on here; keep up the great work!

[@NESherv]

The 1986-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is the best-looking SUV of all time, in my opinion.

[@hollyobert]

+Saabkyle04 This was so cool to find because we own THIS exact vehicle. It was in Washington in this video but now resides in Missouri. It's also in another blog video on KZbin as well. Very random that this exact same vehicle is in 2 online car blogs and now we own it.

[@davidmeskhi8446]

Was it restored? He has an old video of a Grand Wagoneer just like this one in a junk yard

[@Bossbugg90]

The OG Grand Wagoneer

[@XXMETAL4LIF3XX]

the compass on the ceiling is the best part of these old jeeps! haha

[@TVHouseHistorian]

Grand Wagoneer was all over the suburban landscape in those days. Nearly every other house you drove by in upper-middle class neighborhoods had one of these in their driveway. The rest had Chevy Suburbans it seemed like. You're still the best, Kyle! Love your videos!

[@glengallwas6283]

The Wagoneers biggest impact to the automotive world was cultural. It was the first 4x4 vehicle specifically designed and marketed as a suburbanite/family vehicle

[@YouDontWannaFightMe]

You should make more videos like this. I live about 30 minutes away from where your filming location was. I've even driven on some of those backroads you went on during the test drive!

[@ThatSlowRaceCar]

It's so weird to see the car that brought me to your channel years ago. The first video I watched from you is the clapped-out Grand Wagoneer you tried to start up in the back lot of a dealership. So cool!

[@lman1223]

nice video kyle. one day you should go back to one of the dealerships you went to in the past and do dealership startups

[@1BrownElCamino]

Our local newscaster drives this exact car, and I have always wanted to see a review of the Wagoneer for a long time. I always thought that these were the first "SUV's" ever made. I've always been really fond of these Wagoneers.

[@cobra454tim]

Kyle, my parents had a 78 model in British racing green I loved that Jeep, all the things you pointed on, I still remember as a little kid ! sure wish my dad keep that things now as it was immaculate. I often wonder if she's on the road today, somewhere !!

[@kidsteal]

This guy does excellent reviews 👍

[@mgreenmg4919mg]

Did anybody catch that hood thud when he closed that hood softly....now that's what I call solid steel. Definitely see why it had a $30,000 price tag new...definitely used it's panels and hood since 1963. This Will definitely obliviate a compact car. I'll take all that thick steel, heavy chrome bumpers, and the fully boxed frame over these airbaged tin cans with plastic bumpers anyday. And be sill happy with the avg 13 mpg. 👍

[@MRCOOL2345e]

I remember the one you did yeas ago, this one is on a whole different level.

[@Kujo999]

White exterior, Red interior, 1989. This was exactly what I wanted for a first car and...man am I glad I didn't get it with that AMC 360. I still want one.

[@Terraceview]

I wish you'd do more old cars, Kyle. Especially now you got the connections I hope you would honor us with some true classics. I understand the younger kids don't care, but in the end it is what makes motoring so interesting. Thanks man.

[@whal8y]

A person across from the street where I work has one. Very80's but still looks great. Makes me want to go on a fam vacation to the woods!

[@ThePuffin77]

I've been watching this channel for over 5 years. I am a bit disappointed you no longer do "regular cars", it seems like all you do is exotics now.

[@Thekidsinafrica14]

You must not have viewed his channel in a while then, lately he's been uploading a lot of affordable vehicles.

[@MrCarguy2]

+ThePuffin77 gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8

[@ThePuffin77]

Nombre What does that mean? I am seriously saddened by his lack of "regular cars".

[@MrCarguy2]

ThePuffin77 If with regular we understand cars that are common therefore cheap, then we would agree that a 30 years old jeep wagoneer, is, currently, a regular car, as you can buy one decent for 5k and there's plenty of them, on the market.

[@ThePuffin77]

Nombre The only ones I see are around 35k. It is rare to see them here.

[@Hunksta_Cartoons]

My favorite Jeep is the Grand Wagoneer! (1981 model, they're SO unique!)

[@adishtnid6094]

The 1989 Grand Jeep Wagoneer is my dream car. I wish I had one.

[@sebasGST45]

The technology in 1989, amazing

[@OLDS98]

You know Jeep is going to bring the Grand Wagoneer back. They have been working on it too. This vehicle is what inspired the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. I did like your information you included as well. Thank you for doing this review and locating this vehicle SAAB Kyle.

[@FNCXPunk]

Skylar White anyone?

[@planedudea380]

+FidgetMyMidget I just finished watching the series today

[@VT-fg9uo]

Hahaha I was thinking of breaking bad when I saw this

[@newfoundrooski]

+Vincent Tellone You're thinking about the Pontiac Aztek

[@VT-fg9uo]

Skyler drove a red Grand Wagoneer until season 5. That was Walter that drove the Aztek

[@thatclappedk24accord41]

Kyle this is awesome! I remember watching the one in the junk yard years ago! Love the old videos just as much as the new ones!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

You threw a curve with this one! Glad you still post a great variety of new cars and classic cars.

[@JuanJose-cf8ps]

That looks extremely comfortable!!!!!! And nice and cozy for those cold weather days! Wish they still made big American cars like this or at the very least with nice big bench seats!

[@CarCommercialsofthePast]

I've been waiting for you to review a Grand Wagoneer for a long while, thanks for the upload Kyle!

[@gosportjamie]

Wow, what a corker, I didn't realise the Grand Wagoneer was introduced in 62. 29 years in production almost unchanged must be some kind of record surely. Whoever bags this one is a lucky person, I bet if they look after it and keep it in this sort of condition they won't lose a single cent in value. And that V8 burble...

[@newfoundrooski]

Remembering the 1987 Grand Wagoneer Junker video from several years back!

[@aa-jp7ck]

i have to correct my steering on my zj to the left in order to go straight just like this guys doing. this is also a near perfectly done review

[@MrBigisBack87]

Can't wait for the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer, the legend will be back.

[@JustAnotherDronePilot]

I haven't watched your videos in years. Nice to see you're still making them, Kyle. :)

[@bradleyp33]

When the Grand Wagoneer ended it became the Grand Cherokee. It was the end of an era for the Grand Wagoneer. You'll see how similar the 90's Grand Cherokee looked to the Grand Wagoneer, the headlights, the body shape, the roof racks, etc.

[@alexmattsson2090]

So glad you did this video!!!! Nice to see a Grand Wagoneer in such great condition.

[@intuitive7274]

THE ULTIMATE AND 1ST BIG SUV

[@artardFTW]

I just picked up an 89 Cherokee & the wagoneer looks so much better. that front end is way more attractive it looks like it was built in the mid 70's

[@rockinchimp]

Remember seeing this in the movie What About Bob?

[@davidnelson3873]

Thank you very much for doing the review on the Grand Wagoneer. It has always been one of my favorites. Great review!

[@bailey111700]

you should review one of the tri-five chevy belair's. I would say one of mine but they are both not stock and one is in the middle of a restoration. 1957 was the most iconic year for the belair. we have a 55' and a 57' bel air hard top.

[@jamelmoore4356]

I always loved these! And it's awesome to know that FCA may be reviving the Wagoneer as a future Range Rover competitor!!!

[@playtolearning787]

I had an 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer much like the one featured here. It was a cool truck.

[@243wayne1]

Had one of these... Very capable and comfortable vehicle.

[@whiteliketar]

Why do these vehicles seems so beautiful , so real - as if nothing matters in the world once you drive off .

[@claytonccrider]

looks a lot like Skylar's Jeep from Breaking Bad.

[@lewiscordell80]

Looks awesome on the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This was a body style for this Jeep Grand Wagoneer from 1963-1992, and while the grille is from 1986-1992. The inside is very nice no junk or anything. They don't make the old school Grand Wagoneer no more after 1992 the production series was ended since early to middle of 1992.

[@sam97yt]

skyler white ;)

[@Daniel28021991]

Beautiful classic Jeep.

[@DaRealRoachDoggJr]

This car right here is so valuable today

[@DrewsLair]

a treat for sure the junker video years ago was just a tease!

[@alexporsche100]

Thanks for this review! I really love the style of this car!

[@RallyLancer95]

This is the kind of stuff I love. Keep it up man!

[@gr8vivin]

this jeep looks like the 'Ranger' from SanAn..!! brings back memories when driven it throughout the nevada desert..!!

[@carwhiz90]

Actually the ranger was based on the chevy k5 blazer. The perennial and huntley both closely resemble it

[@redwolf48845]

Nice to see another great classic car review!

[@yorkshire_tea_innit8097]

She's a beaut. Look at that timing belt. It's just right there, easy as pie to fix. I recently changed the timing belt on my Renault Megane and I damn near had to take the engine out.

[@dvddmc]

nice to see an old vehicle again

[@davidmeskhi8446]

It reminds me of the 87 Wagoneer you did, it was just like this one

[@JGW-81]

nice 89 looks just like my 91 but a diff colour

[@oldshumi]

ahhhh..good old fashioned saabkyle04

[@ciociesiobhan680]

Really digging the new style, nice work!

[@SuperJfritz]

That is the best sound system that I have ever heard from stereo that was not turned on. Makes me wonder what else he has been slipping by me for the last year or so i have been watching. I do love the videos...just not a fan of the smoke and mirrors.

[@lucasberto7329]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CAR OF ALL TIMES ITS BETTER THAN A FERRARI FF ITS BETTER THAN AN SCLASS AND A GTS I HOPE I GET THIS CAR FOR MY FIRST CAR IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@ncurc9766]

the things got so much character and was built for comfort, what a unique vehicle, not like the junk crossovers we have to drive today

[@محمدالعراقي-ب9ش8ل]

Sound is awesome for this car

[@w8fg]

Thats one beautiful JEEP! I want!

[@treywigfalltw]

I wouldn't mind owning this. It's very retro.

[@bmwmsport11]

These are the coolest jeeps ever(besides a hemi swapped wrangler)

[@brian6779]

I hope Jeep can produce something nice like what they did before, it was luxurious!

[@lukoradulic5340]

Goosebumps brought me here.

[@bradharris4932]

I've recently purchased an 88 grand jeep wagoneer, I love it! Needs some TLC but gladly welcome the restoration, it'll be worth it. Whats a good group to join up with fellow waggies?

[@Tuppoo94]

5.9 liter V8? That should be good for a big car like this! Wait... 144 hp and 280 lb-ft? At least it gets somewhat decent fuel mileage, right? NOPE, 12 MPG in the city and 16 on the highway. Man, cars have come a long way in 27 years.

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Gorgeous example!

[@aaron.hudacky]

Great review... modest, informative, and accurate, as usual. Thank you.

[@HIMI2003]

I love how the car shakes when he rev it😍

[@JoshBrinson]

Love the Grand Wagoneer.

[@charleshardy6483]

This made me remember when you use to do your dealership cold starts :D. Ahh good times 😁

[@6StacksOnFeastEUW]

Kyle I love your vids, but maybe you should get stand-alone microphone and add the audio to video later, that would kill a lot of background noises :-) Anyways great vehicle!

[@ChevyBM]

those things are beautiful! I want one really bad!

[@klaudijav9164]

This vehicle sounds terrific!!

[@gracelumalessil1569]

Nice vlog Kyle, at least this gonna be a detailed in-depth review I would give to my son and his wife but, this unit is a rare unit in our country Indonesia especially in our city Jakarta though it doesn't mean we wouldn't find this unit in barn-find condition, wish us luck buddy. 🙏

[@TheWallyjp]

I have to say i love these things. Around here (new england) they are almost all rusted away.... it is a shame really. Your driving me crazy... white was my favorite color of these also, i just think they looked stunning in white.

[@HoschtonBoy]

My second most favorite auto.
