THE ORIGINAL SUV | 1963-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer | Comfy, Cushy, Capable!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The thought of a do-it-all offroad rig usually falls short when it comes to combining capability and luxury with room for six. The one vehicle that did it from 1963 to 1991 is the subject of this episode of Hemmings Tested 4x4; the Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
Built during its lifetime by four different manufacturers, the Grand Cherokee stayed true to capability for its entire run with solid axles front and rear and offered uncommon luxury and passenger space. While it was originally marketed as a station wagon, the Grand Wagoneer replaced the Willys wagon and became the longest-running vehicle of its era.
So whether you are building a capable off-roader, a luxury throwback to drive to Cars & Coffee, or an overlanding adventure vehicle, the Grand Wagoneer checks all of those boxes with retro styling.

Even with this video, people still fail to realize how this was the first luxury and first suv ever.

I HAVE HAD TWO OF THEN.. SHOULD NEVER Have kept one😢
This phrase gets overused, but is truly applicable in this case. These were in a class of their own.
Great video, but one correction - the final series Grand Wagoneers had an NP229 transfer case not the NP208 that was in earlier models.

Of course you would know that! LOL
Whoa that's not quite right, the Willys wagon was way earlier 😊
Those seats could use some help though
i would not call the ride plush with old leafs. i have one and with the 36 year old leafs it is not plush, bought new ones, stock height, and it is better, but not plush. for plush you need linked and soft coils..

@@BigTireGarage depends...the grand wagoneer was about equal in "luxury" as the burban at the time. Think the biggest difference was the grand wagoneer had leather and power seats...other than that, not much else, aside from capability. Jeep was marginally better off road, the burban could tow.

The suburban came out later and first versions weren’t for civilian use. The Jeep “Station Wagon” was the first SUV for civilian use in 1945.
