Some people make more than 35k per year. Shocker, I know.
What does that have to do with buying a $100,000 vehicle?

had a rental Grand Wagoneer on a business trip not long ago. I have to say, they’re super nice. I really liked it. I mean, I didn’t like it enough to pay $100K for one. That would be stupid.


Same here. Rented one for a vacation to the GC. Very plush ride however I will say at highway speeds it was very bouncy. Of course the roads from Phoenix to Flagstaff suck too.

But no way I pay $100k for any SUV.

Jesus that is horrible, looks like a kit that came from JC Whitney. That may be the worst quality mod on a new ~100k car I have ever seen.




There was/is a company in Texas Performance something that did a gorgeous woody mod and had multiple wood options to choose from.

Why anyone would buy a vehicle other than Toyota is beyond me.


I have a loaded '15 Tundra that I will drive until its dick falls off. I have also owned a half dozen Ford Explorers/Expeditions and liked them all. Fingers crossed on the latest '22 Expedition with the 6cyl and 10 speed trans. I do like the gas mileage and its comfortable as hell even if does sound like a slot car getting up to speed.

I drove that stretch in several different vehicles.
I didn't think the roads sucked at all.

If there was an upgrade available, my Tundra is shite out of luck because Imma get mine first. There is also a joke in here somewhere about the truck being black but....lets leave that one alone.

In fairness, I had a picture to look at on a huge monitor sitting at my desk with nothing else like traffic and a redlight to worry about. However, I am like a Basset Hound on a rabbit when it comes to panel gap mismatches. I could walk around a parked McLaren and 10 minutes later I couldn't tell you what color it was because the only thing I remember is the mismatched panel gaps you can see from space.

Drives me crazy.

The best I've seen are Porsche, Lexus, and BMW.

How are Ferraris?

Where are you getting those numbers from? I see Wagoneers all over the place driven by moms. Seems to be a formidable Yukon XL alternative.


I think the OP was referring to Grand Wagoneers, which are full sized, not the mid sized Wagoneers. But they are still overpriced.

A lot better than they were but they still have panel gap issues, especially on the hood and frunk lid. Being Italian even their robots take smoke/cappuccino/Chainti breaks.

All wagoneers are full sized. Wagoneer L is the longer version (think suburban vs tahoe). Only difference in wagoneer and grand wagoneer is level of options. Frame is the same.

Wagoneer competes with yukon, expedition, etc. Grand is marketed toward Land Rover, escalade, denali crowd.

I saw a grand wagoneer on the road today that looked very nice. I’ll never buy another Chrysler but it looked sweet tbh

To say the Jeep Wagoneer is a bust is an understatement. Currently they sit on a 532 day supply of 2023 Wagoneers. They will be selling 2023 wagoneers well into 2025. I guess that 100k+ sticker price for a jeep product wasn't a good idea. I wouldn't buy one for half that price.


My company rented me a Grand Wagoneer while I was on a business trip in 2022. I had it for five days and wow did I love it. I was highly interested in buying one until I looked into it and saw the price. At that point my interest in buying one evaporated.

ETA: I just realized this is a thread from last year and I posted basically the same thing.
