Would You Do It Again?

[OleNavyMane]

For the early owners of what appears to be an awesome automobile, would you buy it again if you could go back and choose?

I am so close to pulling the trigger on the GWIII. Keep going back and forth (in my mind) between the Escalade, Navigator and GWIII. I see the comments but wanted to post this in hopes that folks would vote. Just checking the general temperature of the room.

For the no's, I would also be curious if it's due to first year growing pains, or actual comfort/design of the vehicle.

I gave it a maybe. Not because it will not turn out to be an incredibly good car but I've only owned two different brands in the last 30 years and change is hard. I've just never been a jeep guy. My dealer has worked overtime with update after update and the problems seem to be slowly rectified and I'm really starting to enjoy so maybe this will be a keeper.

This sounds encouraging.

Could you please toggle your vote? So far, I see 1 vote for "Heck yeah"

Despite the few hiccups - I'd 100% go again. I'm on #3 (W/III; GW/I; and now a W/III). I am confident all the kinks are worked out of my current model and it continues to be a head turner every where I go. VERY happy and glad to see the Wagoneer badging on the road again after a 20+ year hiatus!

This is the most important metric in my opinion!

I'm still in the camp of waiting to buy one, but hope most of you owners think it'd be worth buying again.

I am the one vote for "Heck yeah". I have only had the GWIII for 2 weeks and so far it is awesome. My lease was up on a 2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label which I really liked but chose the GW because of the design and technology and the Lincoln hadn't changed. I have to say that so far it blows the Lincoln away in almost every area. Most notably in the ride and handling. It is quieter and rides smoother than the Lincoln and the shifting is much smoother. The shifting in the Lincoln was clunky. The active drive assist is fantastic. The advancements in technology over the Lincoln are significant. I looked at the Escalade and the quality of the interior is nowhere near the GW - no center console in the second row?, reminds me of a mini-van. Knock on wood, so far I have had none of the quality control issues that many others on this forum have mentioned.
The only problem is the stitching in a small section of the steering wheel is unraveling. A new steering wheel has been ordered. I know that I haven't had it very long but at this point absolutely no regrets. If my opinion changes over time I will let you know.

Love hearing this, as I figure it's 50/50 my wife will find the GW too big, and I'll give her my GC SR and I'll take the GWIII.

We will get ours back tomorrow (fingers crossed). It's been in the shop since before Thanksgiving. If I knew I could purchase this exact vehicle and it wouldn't have all the problems I've experienced, I'd do it again.

Really happy to read this. I have a GWIII on order and it was between the Grand Wagoneer or a 2022 Navigator Black Label. My outgoing car is an Aviator Black Label, had a Nautilus Black Label before that, and an MKX before that. Was a huge Lincoln fan clearly. Test drove a base model Wagoneer, no air suspension or many options, and it felt much softer and smoother than my Aviator and the Aviator had air suspension; I was blown away. Drove a Navigator right after just for comparison (a 2021) and it was done, I ordered a Grand Wagoneer immediately. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Going to take a little bit of time to get used to no more push button shifting.

I also looked at an Escalade just for S&Gs. Wasn’t crazy about it and the dealer was playing price games. I was actually quoted almost 20k ABOVE sticker on a sport platinum. I LOL’d in their faces and drove right to Jeep.

Currently awaiting a scheduled production date, I can’t wait!!
