Ok, I know that was a cheesy subject line but we could all use some extra cheese from time to time, correct?

I have been reading all I can in regards to a new straight six cylinder engine making it's way to the Grand Wagoneer. If it does:

1. Will it be a supposed high output variant?
2. Will it be PHEV or a conventional gas only setup?
3. If PHEV are we talking 2 electric motors at the rear (one per rear wheel)?
4. If PHEV, will it have up to DC fast charge capability?
5. Will the straight six be available on the 2022 model year?

In addition to the questions above, please reply with any relevant information. Interested to see the GW with the latest tech available (under the hood).

That would be alright by me. Would be all over the inline six PHEV--once they hook it up with Hands-free Active Driving Assist. Obsidian in either gray or black.

Very interesting. Am curious to know--HO as in 525ish HP? And also wonder what the engine only hp might look like on the PHEV. While I'm at it, will PHEV straight 6 be transverse mounted feeding the front wheels with electric motors doing the paddling aft? Or will it be longitudinally mounted? If so, how will the PHEV be applied here? Electric motor per rear wheel (no glorious 3.92 rear end)? Super interested in this vehicle with the straight either way.

I'm not worried about the PHEV approach, I cut my PHEV teeth on my 2017 VOLVO XC90 T8; what an amazing vehicle. A front wheel drive straight 4 with electric motor at the rear wheels. The engine is supercharged (to eliminate low end turbo lag) and turbo-charged (to take care of top-in functions). When it's coasting along the highway, it relies on its unblown abilities to cover.

Gotta say, I am getting a lil' antsy waiting. The Cadillac Escalade is starting to warm up to me more and more.

Ultimate the WS will have three variants of the new 3.0-liter GME-T6... SO, HO, and PHEV. I am just as curious as you.

It would have been nice if they had gone with a 3.5ish instead of the 3.92 rear end. If the 5.7 of the Wagoneer can use a better highway rear than the 6.4 certainly could have. The 2018 Escalade ESV I had came with a 3.23 and even though it was rated at 15-19mpg (if I remember right) I could easily get 27mpg on the highway doing 70mph at 1500rpm. I'm hoping if I slow the Grand Wagoneer down to around 60mph I could/will get 25 or so. Will have to wait and see. Also, the mileage they are getting is with a none broken in engine. That's a guess on my part.

I6 Cummins. That is the ONLY six cylinder I would buy. I am a NON-APOLOGETIC V8 kind of guy. Screw the damned liberal ass CAFE standards! Want one of these real bad, but 6 cyl turbo us a deal killer.

LOL! Couldn’t agree more. Now that we can see all the details on the Hurricane, I’m really glad I got my V8. And seeing that the V8 is going away all together on the GWLs (I think the regular WLs as well?) I’d hurry up and get the V8 now before it’s gone. And what kills me is that it’s all in the name of saving literally an extra mile or two per gallon and not much more - who is buying a six figure SUV and caring about fuel economy? I know I’m not.
