Furthermore, the Grand Wagoneer delivers best-in-class towing capability of up to 10,000 lbs., offering both power and comfort in perfect harmony.

The Grand Wagoneer’s interior showcases a level of luxury that sets the benchmark for its segment. Genuine materials such as handcrafted Satin American Walnut wood trim, Palermo leather-trimmed seating with exquisite quilting, and leather-wrapped instrument panels, consoles, and door panels with accent stitching elevate the overall ambiance to a level of opulence rarely seen in its class.
