The Jeep Wagoneer established its position as a historic SUV model in 1962 for the 1963 model year before it continued manufacturing through various stages until 1991. Ever since its inception the original Wagoneer gained authenticity through its cutting-edge four-wheel-drive capabilities that combined seamlessly with automatic transmission to function both for family highway use and off-roading adventures throughout its initial run. The XJ-based compact Wagoneer maintained Jeep's quality benchmarks and gained popularity by offering elegance through its unique upright wood paneling from 1983 to 1990. Married together by an eight-speed automatic transmission system the Jeep Wagoneer's modern model features a WS platform and a 5.7L V8 engine generating 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque. The durable engine construction of the Jeep Wagoneer enables maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds when equipped with necessary towing components. Standard four-wheel-drive equipment exists fully implemented yet owners can buy from three advanced four-wheel-drive systems which provide improved traction control options. The Wagoneer provides ground clearance of 8 inches from its suspension system but customers can access 10 inches through the optional Quadra-Lift air suspension. The basic off-road features like proper approach and departure angles are missing from the Jeep Wagoneer due to its intended use in touring and recreational off-road activities rather than competitive racing. Upkeep of a Jeep Wagoneer demands original equipment manufacturer parts to guarantee exact performance along with reliability features according to Jeep's technical requirements.
