01

Luxury before the category was settled

An available automatic transmission and independent front suspension option made the early Wagoneer unlike the stark 4x4 competition.

02

Corporate eras changed around it

Willys, Kaiser, AMC, and Chrysler all sold versions of the same core body.

03

The modern revival is separate

The modern WS Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer reuse names and positioning, not the original SJ architecture.
