Wagoneer Power and Handling
Underneath the hood of the 2022 Wagoneer comes a 5.7-liter V8 engine that supplies 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque, allowing drivers to haul up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. Mild-hybrid technology is used by the V8 engine to maximize fuel efficiency and performance. The Wagoneer's engine is linked to the trusted TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission that powers the rear wheels. Meanwhile, three legendary 4x4 systems are available: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II. Each powertrain provides different levels of capability, allowing customers to choose how much traction and all-terrain ability suit their needs.
