    Generations [ ]

    The Willys and Kaiser years [ ]

    The original Wagoneer was a full-size, body-on-frame vehicle which shared its architecture with the Jeep Gladiator panel truck with windowless sides behind the doors and double «barn doors» in the rear instead of the usual tailgate and roll-down rear window.

    Early Wagoneers were powered by Willys’ new «Tornado» 1963-1964 [ ]

    In early 1963, Willys Motors changed its name to Kaiser Jeep Corporation . This was to associate Jeep in the public consciousness with Kaiser’s family of companies, said company president Steven Girard. Early Wagoneers were powered by Willys’ new 140 hp (104 kW) «Tornado» 1965-1966 [ ]

    

    For 1965, the Wagoneer, together with the Gladiator pickup truck, was available with the 250 hp (186 kW) 327 cu in (5.4 L) AMC V8 engine, which proved a popular option. In 1966, the Tornado engine was replaced by American Motors’ 232 cu in (3.8 L) OHV inline six. According to the automotive press this engine was smooth, powerful, reliable and easily-maintained.

    1966 also saw the introduction of the more luxurious Super Wagoneer, initially with a higher-performance 270 hp (201 kW) version of the AMC V8, fitted with a four-barrel carburetor. With comfort and convenience features not found on other vehicles of its type at the time — e.g. push-button radio, seven-position tilt steering wheel, ceiling courtesy lights, air conditioning, power tailgate, power brakes, power steering, and console-shifted 1967-1971 [ ]

    Two-wheel drive models, which the four-wheel-drives had outsold from the beginning, were discontinued after the 1967 model year, and at the end of 1968 the slow-selling two-door versions were also discontinued. For 1968 through 1971 Wagoneers were powered by Buick ’s 350 cu in (5.7 L) 230 hp (172 kW) Dauntless V8. The Buick made less horsepower than the previous AMC V8 (230 hp vs. 250), but more The AMC years [ ]

    

    In early 1970 American Motors acquired Jeep and set about refining and upgrading the range. AMC also improved manufacturing efficiency and lowered costs by incorporating shared components such as engines. Reducing AMC V8, and later the 401 cu in (6.6 L) was made available. The innovative Quadra-Trac full-time four-wheel-drive system, which broadened the appeal of Jeep products to people who wanted four-wheel-drive traction without the inconvenience of a manual-shift transfer case and manual Cherokee. This replaced the Jeepster Commando, whose sales had not met expectations despite an extensive 1972 revamp. The Cherokee appealed to a younger market than the Wagoneer, which was regarded more as a family SUV. There were few styling changes during this time. However after introducing the Cherokee, AMC began to move the Wagoneer upmarket, culminating in the 1978 Wagoneer Limited, which brought critical acclaim and high demand from a new market segment. The Limited, more luxuriously equipped than the earlier Super Wagoneer, offered air conditioning, power-adjustable seats, power door locks, power windows, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, leather upholstery, plush carpeting and “wood grain” trim on the body sides. Even though the US$10,500 suggested retail price was in luxury Cadillac territory, the Limited’s high-level specification attracted buyers and sales were strong. With the V8s the primary choice among Wagoneer buyers, the 258 cu in (4.2 L) six-cylinder engine was dropped in the 1970s, only to return as an option when Jeep sales – particularly of the high-volume Cherokee – were hit by the 1979 fuel crisis. (The Wagoneer continued to sell relatively well.) When reintroduced, the engine came with manual transmission as standard equipment, but in 1983 automatic transmission with “Selec-Trac” four-wheel drive became standard. With this combination the Wagoneer achieved EPA fuel-consumption estimates of 18 mpg-US (13 L/100 km/22 mpg-imp) city and 25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km/30 mpg-imp) highway – outstanding for a full-size SUV. [4] This allowed the company to advertise good fuel mileage, although the more powerful 360 V8 remained popular with certain buyers despite its greater thirst for fuel.

    XJ Wagoneer and Cherokee [ ]

    

    Main article: Jeep Cherokee (XJ)

    The Wagoneer and Cherokee names were applied to the new, much-smaller and more fuel-efficient XJ platform in 1984, but high demand prompted the company to keep the old SJ-body Wagoneer in production.

    The full-sized Wagoneer Limited was renamed the Grand Wagoneer.

    In mid-1984, Jeep introduced a less expensive version of the large «Grand» named the Wagoneer Custom. It did not have the simulated woodgrain exterior. Wheels were steel with hubcaps, and standard equipment was pared down. It had part-time four-wheel drive. Despite its lower price (US$15,995, about $3,000 less than the Grand), sales were poor.

    The Grand Wagoneer remained «the gold standard of the SUV market» and it would continue in one version using the old SJ-body «for 1985 and beyond». [5]

    The Chrysler years [ ]

    

    Despite its advancing age the Grand Wagoneer remained popular. Instrument panel, grille, and taillamps were redesigned for 1986, followed by minor revision to the woodgrained sides in 1987, the year that ownership of the company passed to Chrysler Corporation . Chrysler largely left the Grand Wagoneer alone, and even continued to build the Grand Wagoneer with the carbureted AMC V8 instead of its own (and, arguably, more modern) fuel-injected V8s. Year-to-year changes were minimal; Chrysler added new features such as an overhead console taken from Chrysler’s popular End of the line [ ]

    The final 1,560 SJ Grand Wagoneers were produced in the 1991 model year. Some had an optional «Final Edition»

    

    badge on the dashboard. There have been (4) documented 1992 Grand Wagoneers, making these the most rare.

    Grand Wagoneer parts, service and accessories are still available from various suppliers.

    ZJ Grand Wagoneer [ ]

    

    For 1993 Chrysler prepared the Jeep Grand Cherokee (originally designed by AMC) to replace both the discontinued flagship model and the smaller Cherokee. It had been delayed following Chrysler’s purchase of AMC so Chrysler could redesign its hot-selling minivans for 1991.

    However the Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer were still popular. Chrysler decided that the Cherokee could be kept viable with minor updates, whereas the cost of updating the Grand Wagoneer would be too great.

    Replacing the full-size Grand Wagoneer with a vehicle that was intended to retain the model’s loyal buyers, Chrysler introduced the compact Grand Wagoneer ZJ in 1993. It was based on the new Grand Cherokee.

    Powered by Chrysler’s 220 hp (164 kW) 318 cu in (5.2 L) «Magnum» V8, th ZJ had model-specific faux woodgrain trim , model-specific, extra-padded leather seating and extra sound-deadening all standard. Jeep’s 4wd «Quadra-trac» system was also standard. But it was smaller, offered less interior space, and lacked the familiar road presence of the original. Despite excellent reviews from many publications, sales did not warrant a return of the Wagoneer for the 1994 model year. It was discontinued after the single 1993 model year.

    Worldwide [ ]

    In Finland, starting in the late-1970s, Wagoneers were usually sold with a Valmet 411 Diesel engine (4.4 Litres Max. power 82 hp (61 kW) DIN at 2200 rpm, torque 306 N·m (226 ft·lbf) DIN at 1460 rpm ). Typical mileage with this engine was around 29 mpg-US (8.11 L/100 km/34.83 mpg-imp) and if a turbo was installed by the owner, mileage improved even more 8 L/100 km (35.31 mpg-imp/29.40 mpg-US).

    Competition [ ]

    The Wagoneer was occasionally used in rallying , mainly in the United States. Wagoneers placed first and second in the first-ever running of the Possible revival [ ]

    Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne announced at the January 2011 North American International Auto Show held in Detroit, that the Grand Wagoneer name will be revived for an «upper-scale» 7-seat SUV to be introduced January 2013.
