2025 Jeep Wagoneer

Is the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer a Good SUV?

"Does it look as cool as, say, a Tahoe or an Expedition? Not a chance, and that's this Jeep's biggest problem. It's especially nondescript from the side and rear, as if its designers ran out of ideas after they finished the front fascia. Otherwise, the Ram 1500-based Wagoneer is chock full of impressive features and capabilities, including unusually decent fuel economy for a beast of this magnitude. It also rides well and accelerates briskly."—Ranked #4 out of 6 Full-Size SUVs

Adding four-wheel drive doesn't help the Wagoneer on the fuel-economy front, but we suppose that's not really the point of a beast like this. Notably, although the EPA considers all 4WD Wagoneers to be equal, there are actually two different 4WD systems, one with low-range gearing (Quadra-Drive II) and the other without (Quadra-Trac I). The latter is the standard version, but you can add the former to even the base Wagoneer 4x4 by selecting the Heavy-Duty Trailer-Tow package.In other words, Quadra-Drive II fortunately isn't an exclusive feature that you have to pay a lot to get.
