[@Cleaning_Hero]

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.

[@degenerate83]

Way more power with an inline ? More opinion on that I think

[@scottstrang1583]

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.

[@Japplesnap]

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.

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. Great video btw

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.

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]

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

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!

[@franktank9573]

I won’t hold my breath, my 21 Durango hellcat is still needing rebooting daily and the wagoneer needs rebooted every few weeks. My 21 ram has been perfect

[@sheldonduffy9442]

Describing your off-road trip on the one way trail with a drop off is how I felt driving on the million dollar highway out of Ouray, CO heading to Silverton, CO. It was horrifying. Knowing we would have to drive our RV on that road when we left to go to Pagosa Springs we drove around 100 miles out of the way to avoid it.

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

That Million dollar Highway is why we stopped in Telluride lol. That’s roads no joke at night

[@RazorThinRazor]

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!

[@jordbjor1]

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

That six cylinder has major problems with overheating. Chrysler has used it for 4 years in the Jeep and did nothing about the problem. Now they they are putting it in the Ram. 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. Plus don't forget the ECU problems they aren't fixing either.

[@Cocora22]

I sthis the V8 engine? I'd love to hear what you think about that engine and compare to the new V6 . I just saw the Car Care Nut review the Grand Wagoneer and was very positive but he reviewed the V6 turbo charged. I am kind of looking at a 2023 series 3 Grand wagoneer. I did test drive one last year but I'm just all over the place on what to buy, if anything. Sort of waiting also on the updated 2025 GMC Denali Ultimate. Nice review, I was kind of waiting on the negative as to why uyou were dumping it so I was surprised. My hubbie is also retired Army MP!!

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

This is the 5.7L HEMI and it’s perfect for the size of this vehicle. More than enough power for this Jeep. We were only getting rid of it to upgrade it to the larger version

[@AlanHouse]

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

[@Picturesforbloxfruits]

I have a question about the truck. I was wondering if you have ever towed anything with it

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

@@Picturesforbloxfruits I have not. Sorry

[@bryanwilkinson5408]

The car will run on 87 without any issues, This is with the Hurricane engine, inilne 6 cylinder with twin turbo, all it does is back the timing off. Uconnect is how the bluetooth connects to your phone. The in car navigation requires real satellite coverage in order for that to work. Your cell phone is not using 100% GPS satellite for navigation that why that worked.

[@cashmoreoctober1973]

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?

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

Has never done that. Wonder what’s causing it

[@cashmoreoctober1973]

@@EastCoastJeepSRT not sure but it is surely aggravating 😂

[@connellyoff-roadadventure3265]

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

Thanks for your service. Live a blessed life. Can we see some vacation videos? How was Yellowstone. 😊

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

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

[@tonybyus563]

Just seen your video for the first time no it's been out for a while we bought the wagoneer when it first came out we love it been on many trips with it been the best vehicle that we have bought and ate a long time thinking about trading up this year 2025 see what they got but I have all the vehicles similar to this I find this to be the one of the best

[@hildablanco1591]

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

[@varg1814]

Awesome review sir.

[@christinaherren]

Hey, the rental didnt say anything about premium. What happens if i use regular?

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

Nothing. Completely fine. Literally not gonna see any issues. I can’t edit the video, but was incorrect about what octane to use. Use 87.

[@Japplesnap]

I'm now on my 3rd Jeep in a row and zero uconnect issues with any of them. We also have an Acura that does have plenty of infotainment issues.

[@AaronHitson]

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

[@islandjazz788]

Please explain how you will trade this in after 1 year without getting financially abused? Or does money not factor into your decision?

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

We paid for it. We don’t have a loan on it.

[@islandjazz788]

Very good news that you’re not upside down in a note. Thanks for taking time to make the review and to reply to my comment.

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

@@islandjazz788 Anytime. I try to respond as much as possible. It gets overwhelming sometimes

[@djdigital3806]

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!

[@UnknownCharacter-n9v]

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'

[@darrint2350]

Please explain what the level of gas in your tank has to do with the engine life?

[@coreybryant2415]

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

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

We had one. Loved it. Had to get rid of it after a year due to an electrical issue they couldn’t fix

[@33bradh]

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.

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

She will LOVE it!

[@OquendoHector333]

Is there any news on the new Wagoneer?

[@ttvills]

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

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

Longer base for the extra room

[@Cornbread-gi6kt]

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

[@hawkeye2k164]

I wish the Wagoneer would’ve got the EcoDiesel, with a 30 gallon tank for at least 2-3 years before discontinuing it.

[@rjs49ers]

Hell no! The ecodiesel was a bust

[@kbrunner85]

Was this leased or bought? I'm currently renting a 24 grand wagoneer and am really thinking of trading my pickup for it or the wagoneer if it has the same features

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

Bought. She had a 21 Durango that turned out to be a lemon so we traded that one in and bought this

You didn't show where you stowed the Snap-on roller tool chest or the hydraulic car lift.

Loved your video parked at your house I wanted to know if you can fit the Wagoneer in your garage.

[@EastCoastJeepSRT]

Yes, it fits. Tight squeeze but she does fit in there
