qotd what do you want to know about the jeep wagoneer s

I am currently in a hotel room in Southern California -- quite far from the fires, thank you -- preparing to drive the Jeep Wagoneer S tomorrow.

What do you want to know about it?

Please keep in mind that some things are under embargo. That said, I will do my best to pass your questions on to Jeep folk over the next day and a half. If I get good answers, I will reply directly to your comments and/or address them in the first-drive review.

As always, please ask good-faith questions -- no trolly stuff, please.

That said, sound off below.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

How many do they plan to sell annually in this current market?

I might be a day late to posting my question and you may have already done your test drive, but I put in a pre-order for this vehicle so I have 2 actual questions. Im finding it a little hard to believe that something they are calling the launch edition and comes "fully" loaded except for a tow hitch, and the tow hitch option is $995 i believe. Anyway you can shimmy under the vehicle and see if the tow hitch is already there? I dont want to say yes I want a tow hitch and have to pay for it if its already attached. Dealers have told me if I opt for a tow hitch, they will put it on which seems illogical and would make it so I wouldnt be able to drive home with the vehicle the same day so thats why I think its already there.

My second question is, are you able to find out if the vehicles are shipping with the Level 2 Free 2 move home chargers. Ive spoken to a few dealerships already and I have received multiple different answers. Some have said the vehicle ships with it, some have said they are getting them sent to the dealership in a certain quantity stock pile, and others have said I would have to basically order it during/ after purchase. I want to roll out of the dealership with everything on the same day I go to buy it.

Oh and 1 more question. Do the back passenger interior doors have manual door openers if the electric door button fails like the front doors?

Thanks in advance!

TheEndlessEnigma I'm sure the rise in driving infractions in Minnesota has nothing to do with all the learing centers.
Plaincraig 06 PT Cruiser 214k miles. 24MPG with a 50/50 highway city driving. One new radiator was the only thing replaced from failure at 80k.Regular maintenance and new radiator hoses and struts at 100k. Head gasket failed blew out the camshaft seals and the rear seal failed too. Being able to remove the backseats was wonderful. The ride was fine. Took an exit ramp and twice the rated speed and some kid in a Mazda 3Speed rolled down his window and asked what I done to make it handle like that. I said "Its all stock and Walmart tires. I know how to drive not just go fast."
Flashindapan Corey, I increasingly find your installments to be the only reason I check back here from time to time.
SCE to AUX The first couple generations of Prius were maligned by association with a certain stereotype owner. But you can't deny their economy and reliability is the envy of the automobile world. It's rare for an EV to match the TCO of a Prius. From personal experience, the first-gen Nissan Leaf. Yes, they looked like a frog and their batteries degraded, but the car was ultra-reliable, well-built, and smooth driving, and was a good introduction to electric motoring for its time.
DungBeetle62 Mercury Capri. It was never conceived to be an updated Lotus Elan/Brit RWD Roadster with Japanese reliability as the Miata was. If you just treated it as a more fun and airy commute than the Tracer/323 its bones came from - it was pretty quick with the turbo (for the era) and enjoyable. And you still had some Mazda reliability under the skin. Yes, I owned one. But let's just say I'm not perusing Bring a Trailer looking for used examples in decent shape.
