Jeep provided a night in a hotel so Ars could attend the Wagoneer S first drive. Ars does not accept paid editorial content.

On sale now, the first Wagoneers are 2024 "Launch Edition" models snazzed to a $71,995 price point inclusive of a $1795 destination charge. But buyers who don't like Bright White paint with a black roof will be dinged an additional $595 for any of the other five colors.
