I think they choose the Jeep brand because they can mark them up more and increase their margins. Plus the Jeep Grand Wagoneer that I remember with the wood grain side panels were a bit more higher class than the Chevy Suburban. Having said that I'm not sure what's in the deck of cards for the future of Dodge.- It's about time they introduce these to the market. They should have done it twenty years ago.
- I think the ship has sailed and sales will be disappointing. Wasn't the old Durango marketed as "just as good as a Tahoe?"
- Front end resembles a BMW X5/6/7 and the rear roof line resembles a Rivian R1S.
For the price, I honestly would take a Rivian R1S. - Eager to see them in person. Disappointed there isn’t a long wheel base option. Also hoped they would put the EcoDiesel in it.
Depending on how much smaller than the Expedition MAX it really is, I could see one making its way into my garage. It would make a good boat puller. time2roll wrote:
Very nice.... still rather have a Hummer.
Wouldn't we all.....lol- This is interesting though...
"The Wagoneer is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 that puts out 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque, while the Grand Wagoneer comes equipped with a 6.4-liter V8 that generates 471 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque, according to Jeep. They're capable of towing up to 10,000 lbs."
New engine? High strung 4.7 NA V8 coming out? - That thing is an Escalade/Denali killer!
Beautiful rig....$100k? GULP...
Guess Stellantis thinks they can steal enough high end GM/Ford SUV buyers to make this worthwhile.
And perhaps the discussion about HD suvs IS that everyone wants a light duty suv.
IMO, which isn't worth much, this would be much more impressive if they built a HD version instead on a 2500 chassis. - Interesting that Chrysler chose the Jeep brand for their new full size SUV platform rather than making it a Ram or Dodge product.
