Starting at $44,640, it pairs a 293 hp Pentastar 3.6L V6 with full-time Quadra-Trac® I 4WD, 6,200 lbs of towing capacity, and a blackout-accented exterior that looks as confident on Flint Hills gravel as it does in a Fort Riley parking lot. It earned a 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK and a 2024 MotorWeek Best Midsize Utility award. How Much Does the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 Cost to Own in Junction City? The Altitude 4x4 carries a base MSRP of $44,640 plus a $1,795 destination charge, putting the out-of-gate figure at $46,435 before taxes, fees, or options. That positions it squarely in the mid-tier of the Grand Cherokee lineup — above the entry Laredo trims and well below the Summit Reserve — giving Junction City buyers a meaningful amount of standard content without paying for luxury appointments they may not need. Feature Altitude 4x4 Base MSRP $44,640 Destination charge $1,795 For shoppers who want to explore available inventory, Valor CDJR currently has a pre-owned Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 in Silver Zynith on the lot — stock number D00286, with 53,389 miles — priced at $29,888. That vehicle carries the same Pentastar 3.6L engine, the same Uconnect 5 with 8.4-inch display, and the same Quadra-Trac® I 4WD system as a new unit, making it a practical option for military families or dual-income households. The Altitude trim's value story is straightforward: you get dark exterior accents, heated front seats, a power driver's seat, wireless charging, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and full-time 4WD — features that typically require add-on packages on competing midsize SUVs like the Ford Explorer or Toyota 4Runner at comparable price points. For a household balancing a Fort Riley schedule with weekend trips to Milford Lake, that combination of daily-driver comfort and genuine capability is a compelling proposition. Value Your Trade-In Rugged Style That Commands Streets and Flint Hills Trails The Altitude 4x4's visual identity is built around contrast. Jeep gives this trim a deliberate dark-accent treatment — black roof rails, black exterior trim around the side windows, and body-color painted front and rear bumpers — that sets it apart from the standard Laredo without requiring buyers to step up to the Overland's chrome-heavy luxury aesthetic. The result is a stance that reads athletic and purposeful, whether you're pulling into a Junction City school parking lot or heading out on a gravel road toward the tallgrass prairie. The exterior rides on 20x8.5-inch gloss black painted aluminum wheels (available as an option) rolling on all-season tires with a 50-series profile and H-speed rating, giving the Altitude a planted, road-confident look. LED headlights — both low and high beam — come standard, along with LED daytime running lights and LED rear lamps, so the Grand Cherokee's signature seven-slot grille face is just as recognizable at dawn as it is at dusk. A roof spoiler and a standard rear window with intermittent wiper round out the exterior package. Five exterior colors are available on the Altitude 4x4: Bright White Clear Coat, Velvet Red Pearl Coat, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Silver Zynith, and Baltic Grey Metallic Clear Coat. The Pearl Coat and Monotone Paint finishes are available as standalone options. Interior seating choices include Global Black Cloth or the upgraded Global Black Capri Leatherette/Suede combination — the latter pairing simulated suede and leatherette surfaces for a premium feel that punches above the trim's price point. If you're considering trading in your current vehicle toward an Altitude 4x4, Valor CDJR makes it easy to get an estimate on your trade-in value before you visit the showroom. Power and Control for Everyday Drives and Weekend Getaways Under the hood, the Altitude 4x4 runs Jeep's proven Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine — a naturally aspirated six-cylinder that produces 293 hp at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Power flows through an 8-speed TorqueFlite® automatic transmission (code 8HP50) with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, giving drivers the option to hold gears manually on steep Flint Hills descents or during trailer-backing maneuvers at a lake ramp. Feature Altitude 4x4 Engine 3.6L Horsepower 293 hp Torque 260 lb-ft Transmission TorqueFlite® Drivetrain All-wheel drive The drivetrain is Quadra-Trac® I, Jeep's full-time automatic 4WD system that distributes torque between the front and rear axles continuously without any driver input required. There's no mode dial to turn, no transfer case lever to engage — the system reads traction conditions and reacts automatically. For a household that transitions from a Junction City commute on a Monday to a gravel road heading toward Tuttle Creek State Park on a Saturday, that seamless transition matters. You simply drive. Suspension is a fully independent multi-link setup at both axles — coil springs front and rear — with front and rear stabilizer bars. That geometry keeps the ride composed on highway stretches between Junction City and Manhattan while still providing enough wheel articulation to handle uneven terrain confidently. Ground clearance is 8.4 inches unladen, with a 20.5-degree approach angle, 19.1-degree breakover angle, and 26.6-degree departure angle — geometry that handles the rolling terrain and river-valley approaches common across Riley County without drama. A standard Start/Stop system helps manage fuel consumption in stop-and-go traffic, and the EPA rates the Altitude 4x4 at 19 mpg city / 26 mpg highway / 22 mpg combined. With a 23-gallon fuel tank, that translates to a calculated range of 506 miles per fill — enough to cover a round trip from Junction City to a Kansas City weekend without a fuel stop each way. Buyers who want to get the purchase process started before arriving at the dealership can submit a quick financing pre-approval online to save time at the desk. Browse New Jeep Inventory Roomy Cabin Comfort for Family Days at Local Lakes Five adults fit comfortably in the Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 — and the numbers back that up. Front headroom measures 39.9 inches, rear headroom is 39.4 inches, and front shoulder room reaches 59.2 inches with 58 inches in the second row. Front legroom is 41.3 inches, and rear passengers get 38.2 inches — enough for adults on a longer drive to Milford Lake without the cramped-knee complaints that plague smaller crossovers. Feature Altitude 4x4 Seating 5 Cargo 37.7 cu ft Curb weight 4,365 lbs Towing 6,200 lbs Payload 1,685 lbs Behind the second row, about 38 cu ft of cargo space handles a weekend's worth of fishing gear, a couple of camp chairs, and a cooler without forcing a game of Tetris at the tailgate. Fold the rear bench flat and that figure expands to about 71 cu ft — enough for a full load of camping supplies for a Tuttle Creek State Park overnight. The loading floor sits at 32.4 inches off the ground, which is a comfortable lift height for heavy gear. Cargo load hooks are standard, and a 12V power outlet in the cargo area keeps a portable cooler or air compressor running. Inside, the standard seating material is Global Black Cloth, though buyers can step up to the Global Black Capri Leatherette/Suede combination for a more premium feel. The driver's seat is fully power-adjustable with five electrical settings including electric height, reach, recline, tilt, and lumbar — a meaningful comfort upgrade for drivers who spend long hours behind the wheel. Both front seats are heated. The front center armrest, rear center armrest, and rear seat center 3-point belt are all standard. The rear bench folds asymmetrically, allowing families to split cargo and passenger needs without fully sacrificing seating. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable, with secondary ventilation controls at the rear passenger position. If you want to add Mopar accessories — roof racks, cargo organizers, or protective mats — Valor CDJR's parts and accessories department can source and install genuine Jeep Mopar components. Seamless Tech for Navigating Campus Roads and Open Prairie The Altitude 4x4 centers its technology package on Uconnect 5 with an 8.4-inch touchscreen mounted in a fixed orientation on the center dashboard. The instrument cluster is a 10.25-inch reconfigurable TFT screen that lets drivers customize the display layout — a practical feature when you want towing data front and center versus fuel economy readouts during a commute. Smartphone integration is wireless for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with no cable required. Both subscriptions are included for an extended period (the data shows 999 months, effectively lifetime). A wireless charging pad is standard, supplemented by 4 USB connections up front and 2 USB charging ports in the rear — so a family of four with devices plugged in simultaneously won't run short. A 12V outlet at the front console and a separate 12V outlet in the cargo area add flexibility for accessories. The system includes a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot via embedded SIM card, with 1 GB of data per month included for the first 3 months — useful for keeping kids connected on a long drive or running navigation data in areas where cell coverage is inconsistent across the Flint Hills. Over-the-air software updates mean the system can receive feature improvements without a dealer visit. Voice control is handled through Amazon Alexa integration, which lets drivers send navigation destinations, play music, or check weather hands-free. The audio system runs through 6 speakers with AM/FM and satellite radio — a 6-month SiriusXM trial is included. Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls keep eyes on the road. The convenience suite also includes Keyless Enter 'n Go™ with push-button start, remote lock/unlock, remote vehicle start, geo-fencing, speed alerts, and vehicle diagnostics — all accessible through Jeep's connected services app for a 12-month included subscription period. Safety Built for Daily Drives and Outdoor Adventures The 2024 Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 earned a 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK — a meaningful credential for families who prioritize occupant protection. The NHTSA awarded it a 5-star overall rating, with 5-star frontal and 5-star side impact scores. The IIHS rated its headlights as Good — the highest possible category — and the side impact test also returned a Good result. The small overlap front driver-side test came back Good as well. The passive safety structure includes 8 total airbags: dual front airbags for driver and passenger, front side airbags, front-and-rear side curtain airbags, and driver and passenger knee airbags. Front seatbelts include pre-tensioners and are height-adjustable for both driver and passenger positions. All three rear seating positions have 3-point belts. A rear occupant alert system reminds the driver to check the back seat before exiting — a genuinely useful feature for parents. LATCH anchor points are standard for child seat installation. On the active safety side, Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus monitors traffic ahead and activates automatic emergency braking from as low as 3 mph, triggering brake lights as a warning to following traffic. The system covers pedestrian and cyclist detection and operates across the full speed range. Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection uses radar to monitor both rear quarters, alerting the driver to vehicles in the blind zone and flagging cross traffic when reversing out of a parking space. Active Lane Management System applies gentle steering correction when the vehicle drifts across lane markings without a turn signal. The braking system is four-wheel ventilated disc with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and a hill holder function that prevents rollback on inclines. Roll stability control and electronic traction control are standard. A trailer stability program monitors sway when towing, automatically applying brakes to individual wheels to bring the trailer back into line — a reassuring feature when hauling a boat trailer on a crosswind day. Breaking Down 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 Pricing and Trims The Altitude 4x4 slots into the Grand Cherokee lineup at the fourth position, above the Laredo A, Laredo, and Laredo X, and below the Altitude X, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. That placement is deliberate: Jeep designed the Altitude to deliver a visually distinctive, sport-dark exterior and a well-equipped interior without the leather-dominated luxury features that push the Limited and above into a different price bracket. At $44,640 base, the Altitude 4x4 includes content that competing midsize SUVs often reserve for higher trims: full-time 4WD, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, wireless charging, heated front seats, a power driver's seat with lumbar, LED headlights front and rear, and the full suite of active safety technology. The two factory packages available for the Altitude are the Trailer Tow Package (which adds trailer towing preparation and automatic rear suspension leveling) and the Mopar Finishing Package (a dealer-installed package that includes front and rear mud flaps). Optional upgrades worth considering include the 20x8.5 Gloss Black Painted Aluminum Wheels for buyers who want to reinforce the Altitude's dark-accent theme, and the Global Black Capri Leatherette/Suede interior upgrade over the standard cloth. Paint choices — Pearl Coat or Monotone Paint — and dealer-installed side steps (available in both Mopar Black and Mopar Bright finishes) round out the personalization options. Buyers who want a sportier entry point should compare the Altitude directly against the Ford Explorer XLT, Toyota 4Runner SR5, and Kia Telluride EX, all of which compete at similar price points but vary significantly in 4WD capability and standard safety content. Apply for Financing Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for Jeep Owners Jeep backs the 2024 Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 with a clear, multi-layer warranty structure. The basic vehicle warranty covers 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty — covering the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components — extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles. Roadside assistance mirrors the powertrain term at 60 months or 60,000 miles, meaning that if the Pentastar V6 or TorqueFlite® transmission requires attention within the first five years, Jeep's manufacturer-backed roadside assistance program has you covered. Paint warranty runs 36 months or 36,000 miles. For a military household rotating through Fort Riley on a two- or three-year assignment, the 3-year basic coverage typically spans the entire ownership window, and the 5-year powertrain warranty provides meaningful protection even for buyers who hold onto vehicles longer. The over-the-air update capability means software-related service visits are often unnecessary — the system updates itself overnight. Valor CDJR's service team is familiar with the Grand Cherokee platform and stocks Mopar-certified parts for routine maintenance and repairs. Keeping up with scheduled oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations is straightforward to manage online — you can book a service appointment directly through the Valor CDJR scheduler without a phone call. Military personnel and their families are encouraged to ask about available service programs when they visit — the team at Valor CDJR values the Fort Riley community and is committed to keeping vehicles road-ready year-round. Schedule Jeep Service Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 Third-party recognition for the 2024 Grand Cherokee is substantive. The model earned the Best Midsize Utility Vehicle — MotorWeek Drivers' Choice Awards (2024), a competition judged on real-world driving performance rather than spec-sheet comparisons. It also received the TOP SAFETY PICK — Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (2024), reflecting strong performance across the IIHS's updated test protocols. Additionally, the Grand Cherokee received the Automotive Loyalty Award — S&P Global Mobility (2024), recognizing that existing Jeep owners are returning to the Grand Cherokee nameplate at a higher rate than competitors can match. Expert reviewers reinforce the data. Edmunds notes that the Grand Cherokee delivers a rare combination of rugged exterior styling, a genuinely upscale interior, and off-road capability that performs on challenging terrain without sacrificing daily-driver comfort. MotorTrend describes it as a compelling midsize SUV package with refined cabin materials, intuitive technology, and smooth highway manners — characteristics that align directly with what Junction City buyers need across a range of daily and weekend uses. Car and Driver observes that the Grand Cherokee balances comfort and real capability in a way few midsize SUVs manage convincingly. Fuel Economy Fuel economy and range by trim Feature Altitude 4x4 MPG 19 city / 26 hwy / 22 combined Frequently Asked Questions from Jeep Shoppers The Altitude 4x4 is rated to tow up to 6,200 lbs with a braked trailer — enough to pull a loaded fishing boat, a small travel trailer, or a utility trailer with equipment. The optional Trailer Tow Package adds trailer towing preparation and automatic rear suspension leveling to help maintain an even stance under load. A standard trailer stability program monitors sway and applies corrective braking automatically. For a family heading to Milford Lake or a veteran couple towing a camper, that capacity covers the vast majority of recreational towing needs. The EPA rates the Altitude 4x4 at 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The 23-gallon tank produces a calculated range of 506 miles per fill. A Start/Stop system helps recover fuel in stop-and-go driving. For a daily commute mixing Junction City surface streets with highway segments, the combined figure is a realistic planning number. Yes — both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard and connect wirelessly, no cable required. The system runs on the Uconnect 5 platform with an 8.4-inch touchscreen. A wireless charging pad, 4 front USB connections, and 2 rear USB charging ports support multiple devices simultaneously. The Altitude 4x4 uses Quadra-Trac® I, Jeep's full-time automatic 4WD system. It requires no driver input — torque is distributed front-to-rear continuously based on traction conditions. There is no part-time mode or manual engagement required. This makes it particularly practical for drivers who encounter variable road surfaces regularly, from wet pavement to gravel ranch roads to light snow.

Starting at $59,300, it delivers 305 hp, 6,280 lbs of towing capacity, and a coil-spring 4x4 suspension tuned for trail work — all wrapped in a five-passenger Crew Cab that earns Car and Driver's 10Best and J.D. Power's top initial quality ranking in its class. View Inventory How Much Can the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" Tow and Haul Around Junction City? The 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" is rated to tow 6,280 lbs and carry a payload of 1,668 lbs — enough to pull a loaded fishing boat to Milford Lake or haul a weekend's worth of gear and equipment without breaking a sweat. Those numbers matter to the Junction City buyer who splits time between job sites and lake ramps. The 5'7" short bed measures 67.4 inches long and 66.4 inches wide, with 51 inches between the wheelhouses — a practical space for plywood sheets, ATVs with a ramp, or military field equipment. Bed height from the ground sits at 34.3 inches, making loading manageable without a step stool. The standard cargo volume comes in at about 54 cu ft, giving working owners real room to operate. The truck's curb weight of 5,232 lbs reflects the heavy-duty coil suspension, off-road hardware, and full-frame construction underneath — all contributors to that confident tow rating. Whether you're connecting a boat trailer for a weekend at the lake or loading tools for a commercial job across Geary County, the Rebel's numbers hold up in real use. Feature Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" Seating 5 Cargo 53.9 cu ft Curb weight 5,232 lbs Towing 6,280 lbs Payload 1,668 lbs Buyers who want a capable truck at a different price point can also browse our pre-owned truck inventory at Valor CDJR for additional options. Bold Exterior Styling That Stands Out on Streets and Trails The Rebel's exterior design signals its purpose before you ever turn the key. Black front and rear bumpers, black door mirror caps, and black window trim give the truck an aggressive, blacked-out look that reads as purposeful rather than decorative. The 18-inch alloy wheels — 8 inches wide front and rear — are wrapped in all-terrain tires measuring 10.8 inches wide, a combination that looks at home on gravel roads and city streets alike. LED lighting runs throughout: LED low beams, LED high beams, LED front fog lights, LED side marker lights, and LED rear lights all come standard. A dusk-sensing headlight control means the system adapts automatically as light changes — useful during early-morning commutes or late drives back from Milford Lake. Daytime running lights add additional visibility without driver input. The color palette gives buyers genuine personality. Single-tone options include Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Flame Red Clear Coat, Delmonico Red Pearl Coat, and Hydro Blue Pearl Coat. For those who want to go further, the Rebel also offers two-tone combinations pairing any of several body colors with Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat on the lower body — a look that emphasizes the truck's stance and off-road identity. At 232.9 inches long and 77.6 inches tall, the Rebel commands attention. If you're thinking about upgrading from your current vehicle, get an estimate on your trade-in value to see what it's worth toward a Rebel at Valor CDJR. Power and Performance Tailored for Towing and Local Roads The standard engine in the Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" is a 3.6L six-cylinder paired with Ram's eTorque mild-hybrid system — a 48-volt belt-integrated starter-generator that contributes an additional 90 lb-ft of torque on demand. Combined output is rated at 305 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque, delivered through an automatic 8-speed transmission with gear ratios ranging from 4.71:1 in first gear down to 0.67:1 in eighth — a wide spread that enables both strong off-the-line pull and relaxed highway cruising. The drivetrain is 4x4 with a part-time transfer case that can be engaged manually or set to automatic. A rear differential lock, descent control, and crawl control round out the off-road toolkit — features that matter when navigating the muddy river valleys and soft terrain around Fort Riley after a wet spring. Feature Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" Engine 3.6L Horsepower 305 hp Torque 271 lb-ft Transmission automatic 8-speed Drivetrain All-wheel drive Feature Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" MPG 19 city / 24 hwy / 21 combined At 19 city / 24 hwy / 21 combined MPG, the eTorque system earns its keep on daily commutes. The standard fuel tank holds 26 gallons, giving the Rebel an EPA-calculated range of 546 miles on a full tank — enough to cover a round trip from Junction City to western Kansas without a fuel stop. For buyers who want even more range, a 33-gallon fuel tank is available as a standalone option. For owners who want to keep their Rebel performing at its best, our genuine Ram parts and accessories department at Valor CDJR stocks OEM components and off-road upgrades. Schedule Test Drive Spacious Interior Comfort Designed for Family Trips A stat worth leading with: rear legroom in the Rebel's Crew Cab measures 45.2 inches — more rear legroom than many midsize sedans. That number makes a real difference when you're loading up the family for a long drive across the Flint Hills or heading to the Junction City Freedom Festival with kids in tow. Front headroom comes in at 40.9 inches, rear headroom at 39.8 inches, and shoulder room measures 66 inches front and 65.7 inches rear. Hip room is 63.4 inches at both rows. These are genuinely generous numbers for a full-size truck, and they translate directly to comfort on longer trips. Standard seating configuration is a 2+3 split across the two rows, with electrically adjustable front bucket seats offering five-way power adjustment including power lumbar. The driver's seat adds memory positioning, so returning to your preferred driving position after someone else drives the truck takes one button press rather than manual readjustment. Upholstery starts with cloth/vinyl bucket seats, but buyers can step up to Leather/Vinyl Bucket Seats or Lux Leather Bucket Seats through the available options. The rear seat folds in a split configuration, creating additional cargo-carrying flexibility when you need the space. A full-length floor console provides front-row storage, and the rear seat includes under-seat storage — a practical detail for anyone carrying tools, gear, or family supplies. The cabin includes a rear occupant alert system, illuminated entry, ambient lighting, and front and rear reading lights. Floor covering and floor mats come standard, and alloy-look trim appears on the instrument panel, doors, and center console. The overall cabin feel aligns with what Car and Driver describes as comfort that rivals a premium living room — a point reinforced by the Rebel's coil-spring rear suspension, which smooths out the flat Kansas plains better than a leaf-spring setup ever could. Tech Features That Keep You Connected and In Control The Rebel's standard infotainment setup centers on an 8.4-inch touchscreen with 3D navigation, voice-guided directions, and internet-connected traffic updates included for 60 months. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both supported with effectively unlimited subscription terms — meaning you connect your phone and use your preferred apps without worrying about a subscription clock running out. The standard speaker count is six, but the Rebel Level 1 Equipment Group package upgrades this to a nine-speaker system with a subwoofer and six months of satellite radio. Buyers who want a premium audio experience can go further with the Rebel Level 2 Equipment Group, which brings a harman/kardon 19-speaker system with subwoofer — a meaningful step up for long road trips or anyone who takes their music seriously. Connectivity is genuinely comprehensive. An embedded SIM card provides a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot with 1 GB of data per month included for 3 months — useful for keeping passengers connected or accessing data on a job site. The system supports over-the-air software updates, so the truck's features can improve over time without a dealership visit. Bluetooth, a voice activation system, and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls all come standard. USB charging is thorough: 4 USB ports at the front and 2 at the rear, plus a 12-volt outlet up front and a main power supply outlet. The optional Comfort/Convenience Group adds a wireless charging pad, Remote Proximity Keyless Entry, and a push-button start — conveniences that matter when your hands are full of gear. The optional Technology Group package adds a windshield head-up display and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated rear camera — two features that make a noticeable difference in daily driving awareness. Safety Systems Built to Protect Military Families and Commuters The Rebel's standard collision protection system is called Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, and it activates from as low as 1 mph — meaning it's working in parking lots and slow traffic, not just on the highway. The system includes automatic emergency braking, low-speed front braking, visual and acoustic warnings, and automatic hazard light activation when a hard stop is detected. It also monitors for pedestrians and cyclists, adding a layer of protection in Junction City's urban core. Six airbags are standard: dual intelligent front airbags for driver and passenger, front-row side airbags, and side curtain airbags covering both rows. Front seatbelts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment. All rear seating positions have 3-point belts, and LATCH child seat anchors are fitted for families with young children. Electronic stability control, roll stability control, ABS with four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, brake assist, hill-start assist, and electronic traction control are all standard. Trailer Sway Damping — Ram's integrated trailer stability program — monitors trailer movement and applies selective braking to keep the combination stable, a feature that matters when towing to the lake on a windy Kansas afternoon. The optional Advanced Safety Group package adds Adaptive Cruise Control w/Stop & Go, which maintains a set following distance in highway traffic and can bring the truck to a full stop in congestion — a practical feature for anyone making regular trips between Junction City and Manhattan. Lane departure warning with steering correction is also included in this package. NHTSA awarded the Ram 1500 an overall 5-star safety rating, with a 5-star side impact score and 4-star ratings for frontal crash and rollover. The IIHS awarded a Good rating for side impact, roof strength, small overlap front driver, and rear crash protection. Breaking Down 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" Pricing for Buyers The Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" starts at $59,300 MSRP with a destination charge of $1,995, bringing the as-delivered starting figure to $61,295 before any options are added. Feature Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" Base MSRP $59,300 Destination charge $1,995 That base price includes the full off-road hardware package: all-terrain tires, coil-spring 4x4 suspension, black exterior trim, LED lighting throughout, the 8.4-inch touchscreen, standard safety systems, and the eTorque 3.6L powertrain. Buyers who want to add capability have a meaningful options menu to work through. The Comfort/Convenience Group adds wireless charging, power-folding mirrors with memory, push-button start, Remote Proximity Keyless Entry, heated front and rear seats, and power-adjustable front seats for both driver and passenger. The Rebel Level 1 Equipment Group brings the 12-inch touchscreen, 12-inch digital instrument cluster, satellite radio, and upgraded nine-speaker audio. Stepping to the Rebel Level 2 Equipment Group delivers the 19-speaker harman/kardon system and adds front and rear parking sensors with rear camera. Other meaningful standalone options include the 5.7L HEMI V8 MDS VVT eTorque Engine (rated at 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque), the Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof, the Trailer Tow Group with Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the Advanced Safety Group, Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection, and the Air Suspension, 4-Corner upgrade. The optional Multi-Function Tailgate and Rambox Cargo Management System add genuine utility for buyers who load and unload frequently.

Contact Us Warranty and Maintenance Plans That Support Active Lifestyles Ram backs the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty — solid coverage for a truck that will see regular towing, off-road use, and year-round Kansas weather. Roadside assistance extends to 5 years/100,000 miles, meaning you're covered for the full length of most owners' typical loan terms. The mild-hybrid electrical system and battery carry an extended warranty of 8 years/80,000 miles.

Ram's roadside assistance program provides manufacturer-backed emergency support, including towing to an authorized service center, so you're never left managing a breakdown on your own. Awards, Expert Reviews, and What Industry Leaders Say About the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel The 2024 Ram 1500 earned three significant industry recognitions that shoppers can rely on as independent validation. Car and Driver named it to their 10Best Trucks and SUVs list for 2024 — a distinction that reflects sustained excellence across performance, value, and real-world usability. J.D. Power awarded it Highest Ranked Large Light Duty Pickup in Initial Quality for 2024, a survey-based measure of owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of ownership. Consumer Guide Automotive added a Best Buy Award for 2024, recognizing the combination of capability and value across the Ram 1500 lineup. Expert commentary reinforces the numbers. Car and Driver notes that the Ram 1500 delivers a refined ride comfort in the full-size pickup segment. MotorTrend observes that Ram trucks challenge the idea that pickup trucks need to trade practicality for premium feel — pointing out that the higher-content trims are legitimately premium vehicles, not just work trucks with leather seats. Kelley Blue Book highlights the Ram 1500's comfortable seats, quiet cabin, and confident driving experience as qualities that make it one of the most civilized choices in the full-size class. For a truck that competes directly against the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss, Ford F-150 Tremor, and GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, those independent assessments carry real weight. Frequently Asked Questions from Buyers About the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel Yes. The Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" is rated to tow 6,280 lbs, which covers most fishing boats, personal watercraft trailers, small campers, and utility trailers comfortably. The optional Trailer Tow Group adds Trailer Reverse Steering Control — a system that steers the trailer automatically when you're backing up, which takes significant stress out of maneuvering at a boat ramp or campsite. The standard Trailer Sway Damping system monitors for trailer instability and corrects it automatically, adding confidence on windy Kansas highways. The EPA rates the Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" at 19 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The eTorque mild-hybrid system contributes to those numbers by recovering energy during deceleration and providing torque assist during acceleration, reducing how hard the engine has to work. With the standard 26-gallon fuel tank, the EPA-calculated range is 546 miles per fill-up. Drivers who regularly tow or run in 4WD can expect figures closer to the city estimate. Yes. The Rebel 4x4 Crew Cab 5'7" comes standard with all-wheel drive and a 4WD transfer case that can be operated in automatic mode or manually engaged. It also includes a rear differential lock, hill descent control, and crawl control — a full off-road drivetrain package that handles the flat plains, muddy river valleys, and unpaved back roads of northeast Kansas without requiring any aftermarket upgrades. For most buyers, the Comfort/Convenience Group is a practical option to consider — it adds heated front and rear seats, wireless charging, push-button start, and power-adjustable seats for both front occupants. The Advanced Safety Group brings Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and lane departure correction, which makes highway driving significantly more relaxed. Buyers who tow regularly should look at the Trailer Tow Group for the Trailer Reverse Steering Control feature. The Rebel Level 1 Equipment Group is the right choice for anyone who wants the larger 12-inch touchscreen and upgraded audio. Valor CDJR is located at 1825 Goldenbelt Blvd in Junction City.

Powered by a twin-turbocharged HEMI® 3L engine producing 510 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, it tows up to 9,450 lbs, seats seven across three rows, and carries about 44 cu ft of cargo — all wrapped in a premium cabin that competes directly with the Cadillac Escalade ESV and Lincoln Navigator L. Explore Inventory How Much Does the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4x4 Cost to Own? The Series II Obsidian 4WD starts at a base MSRP of $107,440, with a destination charge of $2,000, bringing the as-delivered starting price to $109,440. That positions it squarely in the upper tier of full-size luxury SUVs, where it competes against vehicles like the GMC Yukon XL Denali and Infiniti QX80. Feature Series II Obsidian 4WD Base MSRP $107,440 Destination charge $2,000 For buyers researching the total cost of ownership, it helps to think beyond the sticker. The Grand Wagoneer L runs on premium unleaded fuel and returns 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined MPG — reasonable for a nearly 6,700-pound luxury hauler with this level of power. A 30.5-gallon fuel tank delivers a calculated range of 518 miles per fill, which matters on long drives across Kansas. Optional packages — including the Convenience Group III, HD Trailer Tow Group, Rear Seat Video Group I, and Flexible Seating Group — allow buyers to customize the vehicle to their specific needs. Interior trim choices include Global Black Leather, Blue Agave Palermo Leather, and Sea Salt/Black Palermo Leather, while exterior finishes range from monotone to the dramatic Two-Tone Paint Group pairing body colors with High Gloss Black accents. Valor CDJR currently has a pre-owned Grand Wagoneer L Series II available — a Bright White Clearcoat example with Global Black leather and the Quick Order Package 28T Obsidian among its options. Shoppers interested in exploring our pre-owned Grand Wagoneer L inventory can browse current availability and pricing online before visiting the showroom. View Payment Options Exterior Design That Commands Attention At 226.7 inches long, 83.6 inches wide, and 75.6 inches tall, the Grand Wagoneer L is an unmistakably commanding presence. The extended-length body rides on a 130-inch wheelbase — the long-wheelbase designation is not just a number; it translates directly into the generous second- and third-row legroom that makes this SUV genuinely livable for all seven occupants on extended drives. The exterior carries Jeep's signature upright grille and broad hood, updated with full LED lighting across every position — LED projector-beam low beams, LED high beams, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lights, LED side indicators, and LED rear lights. Dusk-sensing automatic headlights and automatic high-beam control mean the lighting system manages itself, so drivers stay focused on the road. The roofline is clean and upright, with chrome-finished roof rails and fixed cross bars that are ready for a cargo carrier or kayak mounts when the family heads toward Milford Lake. Power-retractable side steps deploy automatically when a door opens, easing entry for passengers of all ages — a thoughtful detail that matters when loading up for a full-day outing. Painted front and rear bumpers, painted door mirror caps, and mirror-integrated turn signals give the exterior a cohesive, polished look. The available Two-Tone Paint Group pairs body colors like Baltic Grey Metallic Clear Coat, Midnight Sky, Silver Zynith, and Bright White Clear Coat with High Gloss Black roofs for a striking two-tone effect that turns heads on any street. Twenty-two-inch two-tone alloy wheels on 9-inch-wide rims wrapped in 11.2-inch-wide all-season tires complete the stance. If you're weighing an upgrade from a current vehicle, find out what your trade-in is worth before you visit — it takes just a few minutes and gives you a real number to work with. Power and Control for Flint Hills Roads and Riley County Trails with the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4x4 A 6,685-pound luxury SUV needs a powertrain worthy of the task — and the HEMI® 3L twin-turbocharged inline-six delivers without reservation. With 510 hp at 5,700 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque arriving at 3,500 rpm, this engine produces its full twist low in the rev range, where it matters most for passing on two-lane Kansas highways or pulling a loaded trailer up a rolling Flint Hills grade. Feature Series II Obsidian 4WD Engine 3L Horsepower 510 hp Torque 500 lb-ft Transmission TorqueFlite® Drivetrain All-wheel drive The TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission (code 8HP75) pairs with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a manual mode for moments when you want direct control over gear selection. The transmission includes a mode-select function and operates with full terrain-response integration. The Quadra-Drive® II full-time 4WD system handles all-wheel drive automatically, distributing torque front and rear without driver intervention. A rear electronic limited-slip differential ensures traction when one rear wheel loses grip — valuable on the gravel back roads that connect Riley County farmland to paved highways. The system supports both full-time and part-time 4WD modes, a descent control system for tackling steep terrain, and a terrain type selection that adjusts both the suspension and the traction/stability systems simultaneously. The suspension is fully independent front and rear — a wishbone setup up front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear — with air springs at both ends and automatic self-leveling. An electronic adaptive suspension responds to road conditions and driver inputs in real time, and the driver can select suspension modes to suit the situation. Ground clearance stands at 10 inches unladen, with an approach angle of 25 degrees, a breakover angle of 20.4 degrees, and a departure angle of 21.3 degrees. Car and Driver describes the Grand Wagoneer as "a muscle SUV dressed in a tuxedo, offering impressive acceleration and a refined ride" — a characterization that rings true given the powertrain's breadth of capability. Ready to take one out on Kansas roads? Start your financing pre-approval online to streamline the purchase process before your visit. Schedule Test Drive Cabin Space and Luxury for Family Days and Outings Seven-passenger seating with genuine comfort in all three rows is the Grand Wagoneer L's most compelling family credential. Edmunds notes that the Grand Wagoneer L delivers excellent seat comfort — particularly for third-row passengers — and a cabin that's remarkably well-insulated against road and wind noise. The numbers back that up. Feature Series II Obsidian 4WD Seating 7 Cargo 44.2 cu ft Curb weight 6,685 lbs Towing 9,450 lbs Payload 1,265 lbs The seating configuration is 2+2+3: two front buckets with 12-way power adjustment, memory settings, heating, ventilation, and massage; two second-row captain's chairs with power reclining and power fore/aft adjustment; and a third-row split bench seating three. Front headroom measures 39.3 inches, second-row headroom 38.4 inches, and third-row headroom 38.5 inches — the extended wheelbase keeps the roofline from tapering aggressively, so third-row passengers aren't hunched. Second-row legroom reaches 42.7 inches, while third-row legroom comes in at 36.6 inches — usable for adults on a drive to Tuttle Creek State Park, not just a spot for small children. Cargo behind the third row measures about 44 cu ft — enough for a full load of fishing gear, a cooler, and luggage. Fold the rear seats and that expands to about 89 cu ft. The power-operated tailgate with hands-free release and memory height makes loading and unloading easy when your arms are full. The loading floor sits at 31.9 inches off the ground, and the cargo area is lined with carpet and secured with a load-restraint net. Inside, the cabin features premium leather upholstery throughout, piano black trim on the instrument panel, doors, and center console, and ambient lighting with color selection. A refrigerated center console storage compartment keeps drinks cold on summer drives. The four-zone automatic climate control system gives every row independent temperature control, with rear passengers managing their own settings from dedicated controls. For accessories that personalize or protect the interior, our parts and accessories department carries Jeep-specific options including cargo liners, seat covers, and roof rack accessories. Connected Tech That Keeps Families in Sync The Grand Wagoneer L's technology stack is genuinely impressive in scope and execution. The centerpiece is a 12-inch central touchscreen running Uconnect® 5 with 3D voice-guided navigation, internet-fed traffic updates, and a 6-month traffic subscription included. A separate 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits directly ahead of the driver, fully reconfigurable to display navigation, performance data, or driver assistance status. A second 10.25-inch retractable touchscreen sits below the primary infotainment display for climate and secondary controls, a 10.25-inch passenger-side touchscreen gives the front passenger their own display, and a 10.25-inch rear-center touchscreen serves second-row passengers. A heads-up display projects key information onto the windshield so the driver never looks away from the road. The audio system spans 19 speakers including a subwoofer, with AM/FM, digital radio, and a 6-month satellite radio subscription standard. Steering-wheel-mounted controls keep audio management at the driver's fingertips. Smartphone integration is comprehensive: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard and wireless-capable, with subscription terms subject to availability and plan details. A wireless charging pad sits in the center console. USB connectivity totals 4 ports at the front, 3 at the rear, and 2 at the third row — plus 12V outlets front and rear and a household-style main power supply for devices that need a full AC connection. Uconnect® Access telematics connects via an embedded SIM card with a 3-month, 1 GB/month Wi-Fi hotspot subscription and a 12-month remote services subscription covering remote start, lock/unlock, vehicle locator, geo-fencing, speed alerts, theft alerts, and vehicle diagnostics. Amazon Alexa voice assistant integration is standard, and over-the-air OS updates keep the system current without a dealer visit. Traffic sign recognition rounds out the instrumentation suite, displaying posted speed limits in the cluster. The optional Rear Seat Video Group I package adds connected rear-seat entertainment with 5 additional USB charging ports in the rear, making long drives to weekend destinations genuinely pleasant for passengers in rows two and three. Advanced Safety Built for School Runs and Busy Downtown Streets The Series II Obsidian 4WD carries a thorough standard safety suite that covers both passive protection and active collision avoidance — important for families navigating school zones, military base traffic, and rural highway driving alike. Passive protection starts with 6 airbags: dual front airbags for driver and passenger, front side airbags, knee airbags for both driver and passenger, and side curtain airbags spanning all three rows. Every seating position across all three rows has a dedicated seat belt — front belts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment, and the third-row center position features a 3-point belt. Height-adjustable head restraints are fitted at all three rows, with 2 front, 2 second-row, and 3 third-row units. LATCH/ISOFIX child seat anchors are standard. The active safety system is anchored by Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, which monitors traffic ahead from as low as 3 mph and delivers visual and acoustic warnings before triggering automatic emergency braking. The system activates seat belt pre-tensioners and brake lights as part of its response, and it operates at both low and highway speeds. Active Lane Management — Jeep's lane departure warning system — applies steering corrections when the vehicle drifts without a turn signal. Blind Spot Monitoring watches both rear quarters and alerts the driver to vehicles in the adjacent lanes. Radar-based Rear Cross Traffic detection warns of approaching vehicles when reversing out of a parking spot. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go maintains a set following distance in highway traffic and brings the vehicle to a complete stop in stop-and-go conditions. ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop uses cameras and sensors at the front, rear, and sides to guide parking maneuvers, with automatic braking if the system detects an imminent impact. A Surround View Camera provides a 360-degree overhead view for tight parking situations. Trailer Sway Control monitors trailer oscillation and applies selective braking to stabilize the combination — a meaningful feature when towing a boat trailer toward the lake on a windy Kansas afternoon. Multi-collision braking holds the vehicle after an initial impact to reduce secondary collisions, and an emergency call system connects occupants with emergency services automatically after a severe event. The optional Convenience Group III package adds the Active Driving Assist Level 2 semi-autonomous system — which combines adaptive cruise with active lane centering for hands-on highway driving assistance — plus a night vision camera for detecting pedestrians and animals beyond the reach of the headlights. Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Plans Tailored for Drivers The 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II carries a structured warranty package that provides meaningful long-term ownership confidence. The basic vehicle warranty covers 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles, protecting the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components — the most expensive items to repair — for five full years. Roadside assistance matches the powertrain term at 60 months or 60,000 miles, so Jeep's own roadside support program is available throughout the powertrain coverage period. Feature Series II Obsidian 4WD MPG 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined The fuel economy picture — 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined MPG — reflects the reality of moving a 6,685-pound luxury SUV with 510 hp. For families covering mixed daily driving, the 17 combined figure is a reasonable planning number. The 30.5-gallon tank and 518-mile calculated range mean fewer stops on longer road trips. The engine's cylinder deactivation and start/stop system work quietly in the background to recover efficiency during city driving and at idle. Ownership costs also include the connected services subscriptions bundled with the vehicle: 6 months of satellite radio, 6 months of navigation traffic updates, 3 months of Wi-Fi hotspot service, and 12 months of Uconnect® Access remote services. Over-the-air software updates mean the infotainment and vehicle systems can be improved without a service visit. For scheduled maintenance, Valor CDJR's service team is equipped to handle all Jeep-specific service requirements. Whether it's an oil change, brake inspection, or software update, booking a service appointment online takes just a few minutes and keeps your Grand Wagoneer L running at its best. Ask our team for current service offers when you visit. View Warranty Details Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4x4's Excellence The Grand Wagoneer L has earned recognition from respected industry voices since its introduction. The New England Motor Press Association named it Best Premium Full-Size SUV in 2024 — a direct acknowledgment of its standing against established competitors like the Escalade ESV and Navigator L. The same organization previously recognized the Wagoneer nameplate as Official Winter SUV of the Year in 2023, underscoring its all-weather capability credentials. Press coverage reinforces these accolades. MotorTrend describes stepping into the Grand Wagoneer L as entering "real luxury," pointing to the interior's premium materials, massive passenger space, and cargo room as standout attributes. Edmunds specifically highlights the third-row seat comfort and the cabin's noise isolation as class-competitive strengths. Car and Driver's characterization of the Grand Wagoneer as a "muscle SUV dressed in a tuxedo" captures the vehicle's dual identity — serious performance capability wrapped in a genuinely refined interior. For families and professionals in Junction City who want a vehicle that earns respect from automotive experts and delivers in real-world use, the Grand Wagoneer L's award record is a meaningful signal of consistent quality. Frequently Asked Questions from Riley County Buyers About the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4x4 Yes — and the extended-length body is the key reason. Second-row legroom measures 42.7 inches with captain's chairs that recline and slide electrically. Third-row legroom comes in at 36.6 inches with 38.5 inches of headroom, and the split bench seats three with 3-point belts at every position. The seating configuration is 2+2+3. For families loading up for a day at Tuttle Creek State Park or a drive to a Kansas State game, all seven seats are genuinely usable, not just technically present. The Series II Obsidian 4WD is rated to tow up to 9,450 lbs with a payload capacity of 1,265 lbs. Standard trailer preparation comes on the vehicle, and the optional HD Trailer Tow Group adds a removable tow hook fixture, front recovery hooks, trailer hitch assist, and an integrated trailer brake controller. Trailer Sway Control is standard equipment. That towing rating comfortably handles a large boat, a horse trailer, or a loaded utility trailer for Riley County agricultural use. The EPA-rated figures are 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined MPG on premium unleaded fuel. The 30.5-gallon tank supports a calculated range of 518 miles. Real-world economy will vary based on load, towing, and terrain, but the cylinder deactivation system and start/stop technology help recover efficiency during everyday driving around Junction City and on highway runs. Standard ADAS equipment on the Series II includes Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with automatic emergency braking, Active Lane Management with steering intervention, Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop, a Surround View Camera, Rear Cross Traffic alert with radar, and Trailer Sway Control. The optional Convenience Group III package adds Active Driving Assist Level 2 semi-autonomous highway driving and night vision.

Starting at $49,110, it pairs a 285 hp Pentastar 3.6L V6 with 4,500 lbs of towing capacity and genuine 4WD capability — making it the right truck for Junction City families who tow to Milford Lake on weekends and commute across rolling Kansas plains during the week. No other midsize pickup offers a removable roof alongside this level of desert-validated performance. View Inventory How Well Does the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Handle Off-Road and Daily Driving in Junction City? The Mojave earns its Desert Rated badge with a suspension tuned specifically for high-speed open terrain, which also translates to a noticeably more compliant and comfortable ride on paved roads compared to stiffer off-road setups — a genuine advantage for daily driving around Junction City's mix of highway stretches and gravel back roads. Edmunds notes that the Mojave is tailored for higher-speed off-road driving with reinforced chassis components and a desert-focused suspension tune, making it equally capable on washboard runs and smooth on the commute to Fort Riley. The standard Command-Trac part-time 4WD system with low and high gear ranges gives drivers the confidence to handle the gently rolling plains and river valley terrain surrounding Junction City without hesitation. Whether the road turns to gravel near the Kansas River or you're navigating a muddy trail after a spring rain, the Mojave's 4WD capability and 11.1 inches of ground clearance keep you moving. Fuel economy for a truck of this capability and curb weight is reasonable. The EPA-rated figures for the Mojave are: Feature Mojave MPG 16 city / 23 hwy / 19 combined At 19 combined MPG, the Mojave delivers a calculated range of 418 miles on its 22-gallon fuel tank — enough for a round trip from Junction City to Milford Lake and back several times before a fill-up is needed. Shoppers interested in exploring available Mojave configurations can browse our current new-vehicle inventory to see what's in stock at Valor CDJR. Schedule Test Drive Exterior Styling and Rugged Design Features Tailored for Adventures The Gladiator Mojave carries a design language that is unmistakably Jeep — seven-slot grille, boxy fenders, and a purposeful stance that communicates capability before the engine even starts. On the Mojave specifically, painted front and rear bumpers, black electrically adjustable mirrors, and standard front fog lights give it a polished yet aggressive appearance that fits naturally alongside the historic character of downtown Junction City and the energetic vibe of a college town. The exterior color palette gives buyers meaningful choices. Options include Black Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Firecracker Red Clear Coat, Snazzberry Pearl Coat, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat, Sarge Green Clear Coat, Silver Zynith Clear Coat, and the exclusive Limited Edition Gobi Clear Coat — a desert-inspired sand tone that directly references the Mojave's heritage. The in-stock unit at Valor CDJR wears Silver Zynith Clear Coat, a sharp choice that catches light well on both highway and trail. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels with 7.5-inch-wide rims mount all-terrain tires measuring 11.2 inches wide, giving the Mojave the stance and grip to handle Kansas terrain with authority. Optional LT285/70R17C mud-terrain tires and 17x7.5 Low Gloss Black Polished Aluminum Wheels are available for buyers who want to push deeper into the dirt. The Mojave also supports a range of roof configurations — from a Black 3-Piece Hard Top to a Premium Black Sunrider Soft Top — so open-air driving on a warm Kansas evening is always an option. Shoppers looking at pre-owned options can browse our pre-owned Gladiator listings to find the right color and configuration. 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Powertrain Performance and Towing Capacity for Kansas Terrain A stat that matters most to Junction City families: the Mojave pulls 4,500 lbs — enough to haul a loaded boat trailer to Milford Lake, tow a utility trailer for a weekend project, or transport a pair of ATVs for a Flint Hills trail run. That number comes from a well-sorted powertrain, not an overworked one. Feature Mojave Engine 3.6L Horsepower 285 hp Torque 260 lb-ft Transmission manual 6-speed Drivetrain All-wheel drive The Pentastar 3.6L V6 produces 285 hp at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm, paired standard with a manual 6-speed transmission. For drivers who prefer an automatic, the optional 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission is available — a smooth, wide-ratio unit with gear ratios spanning 4.71:1 in first down to 0.67:1 in eighth, providing both strong off-the-line pull and relaxed highway cruising. The in-stock Silver Zynith unit at Valor CDJR is equipped with this 8-speed automatic. Feature Mojave Seating 5 Curb weight 4,952 lbs Towing 4,500 lbs Payload 1,298 lbs The 1,298 lbs of payload capacity means the Mojave's bed handles real work — camping gear, tools, or equipment for a weekend project. The 4,952 lb curb weight reflects the Mojave's reinforced desert-duty chassis, which includes heavy-duty suspension with gas shocks as standard equipment. The Command-Trac 4WD system with low/high gear ranges adds confident traction on the gravel and rolling terrain surrounding Riley County. If you're ready to move from your current vehicle into a Mojave, Valor CDJR makes it easy to get an estimate on your trade-in before you visit the lot. Interior Comfort and Space in the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave for Families and Outdoor Enthusiasts Five adults fit comfortably in the Gladiator Mojave's crew cab — and the interior dimensions back that claim with real numbers. Front passengers enjoy 41.2 inches of leg room and 42.8 inches of headroom, while rear passengers get 38.3 inches of leg room and a matching 42.8 inches of headroom. Shoulder room measures 55.7 inches front and rear, so three adults across the back seat is a genuine option rather than a compromise. For a family loading up for a day at Tuttle Creek State Park, the split-folding rear bench opens up under-seat storage space in the rear, giving you a place to stow gear you want secured rather than exposed in the bed. Front bucket seats come standard in an upgraded cloth, with leather-trimmed bucket seats and specific leather combinations — including Global Black/Steel Grey Leather and Black/Green Leather — available as options for buyers who want a more refined cabin feel. The in-stock Mojave at Valor CDJR features black leather front seat upholstery, a clean and durable choice for active families. Climate control is handled by a single-zone automatic air conditioning system with touch screen controls and a cabin micro-filter, keeping the interior comfortable regardless of Kansas summer heat. A full-length floor console with front and rear cup holders, illuminated vanity mirrors, and ambient lighting round out the daily-driver comfort picture. Storage under the rear seat adds another practical layer for stowing valuables out of sight. Buyers considering financing their Mojave purchase can get a pre-approval decision online before visiting Valor CDJR, which simplifies the process considerably. Infotainment and Connectivity Features That Enhance the Driving Experience The Mojave's standard Uconnect 4C system centers on an 8.4-inch touchscreen — large enough to navigate clearly while wearing work gloves and responsive enough for quick inputs at a stoplight. The system includes built-in navigation with a 3D display, voice guidance, traffic information, and a traffic subscription, so you always have current routing whether you're heading through downtown Junction City or finding your way across the Flint Hills. Smartphone integration is comprehensive and effectively permanent. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, each included — meaning they function for the life of the vehicle without additional fees. Bluetooth connectivity, a voice activation system, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The audio system is a genuine highlight for a truck in this class. A 9-speaker Alpine system with a subwoofer delivers clear, full-range sound whether you're on a quiet highway stretch or parked at a campsite. AM/FM radio, satellite radio with a 6-month trial subscription, and digital radio round out the audio options. Two front USB charging ports and four rear USB charging ports — six total — mean every passenger stays charged on a long drive. A 7-inch digital instrument cluster display sits in the gauge pod, delivering trip computer data including average fuel economy. Keyless entry, push-button start, and a programmable garage door opener add everyday convenience. For drivers who want to expand the Mojave's capabilities further, Valor CDJR's Mopar parts and accessories department stocks genuine Jeep add-ons including the optional TrailCam integrated off-road camera, wireless Bluetooth speaker, and auxiliary switch group for powering aftermarket accessories. Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies Designed for Kansas Drivers in the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave The Mojave's standard safety foundation is solid for a truck designed to go well beyond paved roads. Four airbags are fitted as standard — dual intelligent front airbags for driver and passenger, plus front side airbags — with pre-tensioning front seatbelts (both height-adjustable) and a 3-point center rear belt covering all three rear seating positions. Height-adjustable head restraints are fitted front (2) and rear (3), and LATCH child seat anchors come standard for families with younger passengers. The braking system runs four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS and a brake assist system that applies additional braking force when the system detects an emergency stop — a meaningful advantage on the flat-to-rolling terrain around Junction City where reaction time matters. Hill holder prevents rollback on inclines, which is useful when stopped on an overpass or a gravel rise. Electronic traction control, roll stability control, and a full stability control system work together to keep the Mojave composed on both paved roads and loose surfaces. The optional Safety Group package adds a rear camera, rear parking sensors, LED brake lights, and Blind-Spot/Rear Cross-Path Detection — a system that monitors the lanes beside and behind the truck and warns the driver of vehicles approaching from the rear quarters. This is particularly useful when towing, where rear visibility is naturally limited. For drivers who want the most comprehensive electronic safety net, the optional Advanced Safety Group adds Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with automatic emergency braking that activates from as low as 3 mph, a brake assist link to the collision system, and automatic high-beam headlight control. The trailer stability program is standard, actively managing sway when towing — a reassuring feature for anyone pulling a loaded boat trailer on a windy Kansas highway. Pricing Breakdown of All 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Trims The 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave carries a starting MSRP of $49,110 — positioning it as Jeep's co-flagship off-road trim alongside the Rubicon, and reflecting the desert-specific engineering, standard 9-speaker Alpine audio, Uconnect 4C navigation, and heavy-duty suspension that come as part of the base configuration. Feature Mojave Base MSRP $49,110 Destination charge $1,595 The destination charge of $1,595 brings the as-delivered starting price to $50,705 before any options are selected.

Awards, Expert Reviews, and Recognition Highlighting the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave's Strengths Third-party recognition for the 2022 Gladiator is consistent and credible. Kelley Blue Book named the Gladiator to its Best Resale Value: Top 10 list for 2022 — a meaningful signal for buyers who care about long-term ownership costs. Vincentric awarded it Best Value in America: Small/Mid-Size Pickup for 2022, and the Specialty Equipment Market Association recognized it as SEMA Mid-Size Truck of the Year for 2022. Expert reviewers have been equally direct. MotorTrend observed that the Gladiator Mojave's desert racing-inspired suspension allows it to go almost anywhere and get there faster than any other Gladiator and most other trucks — high praise that reflects the engineering investment Jeep made in the desert-specific tune. A follow-up MotorTrend evaluation noted that Jeep gives the Gladiator more of what buyers want with the Mojave while taking essentially nothing away in return. Car and Driver described the Gladiator as a legitimate pickup truck and a trail-ready tool simultaneously, while Edmunds noted the Mojave's specialized suspension setup positions it as the ideal choice for buyers who prioritize high-impact desert endurance and open-trail composure. Kelley Blue Book reinforced the Gladiator's unique market position as a pickup with a detachable roof and doors — a distinction that remains true in the midsize segment today. Frequently Asked Questions About Owning a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave The 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave has a towing capacity of 4,500 lbs. That is enough to haul a mid-size boat, a loaded utility trailer, or a pair of ATVs on a tandem trailer. The standard trailer stability program actively manages sway while towing, and the optional Trailer Tow Package adds dedicated trailer towing preparation for buyers who tow regularly. For families heading to Milford Lake or Tuttle Creek State Park on weekends, this capacity comfortably covers most recreational towing needs. Yes. The Mojave comes standard with the Command-Trac part-time 4WD system, which includes both high and low gear ranges. An optional Selec-Trac Full Time 4WD System is also available for buyers who want a system that can remain engaged on mixed surfaces. The standard 4WD system is well-suited to the gravel roads, rolling plains, and occasional muddy conditions found across Riley County and the Flint Hills region. The EPA rates the Mojave at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. With a 22-gallon fuel tank, that works out to a calculated range of 418 miles per fill-up. The engine runs on regular 87-octane unleaded fuel, keeping day-to-day operating costs reasonable for a truck with this level of capability. The Mojave is rated to carry 1,298 lbs of payload in its bed and cabin combined. The bed measures 60.3 inches long, 56.8 inches wide at the rails, and 44.8 inches between the wheelhouses — a short-box configuration that fits in standard parking spaces while still handling full-size gear loads, camping equipment, or materials for a weekend project. Valor CDJR currently has a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave in Silver Zynith Clearcoat with leather seating, the 8-speed automatic, LED Lighting Group, Cold Weather Group, and Uconnect 4C navigation available on the lot at 1825 Goldenbelt Blvd, Junction City. To ask about availability, schedule a test drive, or get answers about specific options, give our team a call at (785) 238-5114 — we are happy to walk you through everything the Mojave offers before you make the drive in. The Mojave is Jeep's Desert Rated trim — the only Gladiator specifically engineered for high-speed open terrain and sand running rather than slow-speed technical rock crawling. Its suspension is tuned for compliance and composure at speed across washboard and whoops, which also makes it more comfortable on paved roads than the stiffer Rubicon setup. Standard equipment includes heavy-duty suspension with gas shocks, a 9-speaker Alpine audio system, Uconnect 4C with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and the full suite of Jeep open-air roof and door options that make it one of the few pickups that can be driven with the top and doors removed.

Direct Answer & Coverage Breakdown When heavy-duty truck owners pull into Valor CDJR in Junction City, KS with severe brake squeal or a trailer brake warning light on the dashboard, the first question they usually ask is simple: “Is this covered under my Ram factory warranty?” The concise, definitive answer is both nuanced and critical for anyone hauling heavy gooseneck livestock trailers, farm machinery, or commercial equipment across Central Kansas. Under the standard Ram 3-Year / 36,000-Mile Basic Limited Warranty, normal wear-and-tear items—specifically brake pads, linings, shoes, and rotor surface friction wear—are covered against defects in material and workmanship for a strictly limited period of 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first). Once your truck passes 12,000 miles or one year from its original in-service date, friction material consumption is classified as routine owner maintenance. If your brake pads wear down to the backing plate due to heavy towing across Riley County or high-mileage highway driving along I-70, replacement costs fall outside factory warranty coverage. Regarding trailer safety checks, trailer hitch mechanical integrity, trailer brake shoe adjustment, and 7-pin trailer wiring diagnostics: these procedures are strictly classified as non-warranty maintenance services. Factory warranty coverage protects solely against manufacturing defects in parts manufactured or installed by Stellantis/Ram. Standard trailer maintenance, trailer side wiring faults, damaged trailer breakaway switches, and pre-trip hitch safety checks are the operational responsibility of the truck owner. However, there is a crucial exception regarding truck-side electronic towing controls. If your 2024 or 2025 Ram 2500 or 3500 experiences a failure within the truck's Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM), the factory trailer tow wiring harness, the 7-pin bumper receptacle, or the trailer light control module due to a factory material or assembly defect, those components are fully covered under the 3/36 Basic Warranty. If you are preparing for agricultural hauling season, stop by our service center or schedule an appointment online using our Service Scheduler to verify your truck's electronic trailer controller performance. Meet Mike Hogg: 20 Years of Heavy-Duty Ram Service Experience in Central Kansas As Service Director at Valor CDJR in Junction City, KS, Mike Hogg brings over 20 years of hands-on technical expertise in diagnosing and maintaining Ram Heavy-Duty powertrain, braking, and towing systems. Throughout his two decades in Central Kansas, Mike has worked directly with local farmers, cattle ranchers, construction contractors, and military families from Fort Riley who rely on their Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks for severe-duty hauling. “In Kansas agriculture and heavy commercial transport, your truck’s braking capacity isn’t just a convenience—it’s your primary safety lifeline,” says Mike. “I’ve seen drivers haul 20,000-pound livestock trailers down steep grades along Highway 18 and K-177 in blistering summer heat and sudden autumn downpours. Understanding where factory warranty ends and proactive maintenance begins is what prevents cataclysmic brake fade and costly roadside breakdowns.” Under Mike’s leadership, Valor CDJR has developed specialized, heavy-duty towing inspection protocols that go far beyond standard quick-lube checklists. His team of factory-certified Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram master technicians evaluates friction shear points, rotor thermal checking, electronic gain signaling, and breakaway voltage systems to keep Kansas drivers safe on every mile of road. Mike Hogg, Service Director at Valor CDJR in Junction City, KS, supervising heavy-duty brake diagnostics. Understanding Ram Factory Warranty Limits on Wear Items vs. Defect Coverage Navigating manufacturer warranty documentation can be frustrating when unexpected repair bills arise. Stellantis establishes distinct boundaries between defect coverage and wear-and-tear maintenance. Understanding these parameters ensures Ram owners are never caught off guard when servicing their vehicles at our Junction City dealership. The 3-Year / 36,000-Mile Basic Limited Warranty protects almost every factory-installed component against material defects or factory assembly mistakes. However, high-friction and high-wear items have shortened coverage windows: • Brake Pads & Linings: Covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles against premature debonding, uneven backing plate cracking, or manufacturing defects. • Brake Rotors & Drums: Covered for 12 months / 12,000 miles for defect-related warpage or casting stress cracks. Wear caused by metal-to-metal pad contact due to neglected pad friction is non-warrantable. • Powertrain Warranty (5-Year / 60,000-Mile or 5-Year / 100,000-Mile Diesel): Covers internal engine, transmission, drivelines, and axle assemblies. It does not cover wheel brake hardware, calipers, rotors, or trailer braking interfaces.

Factory ceramic and semi-metallic friction pads can withstand incredible temperatures, but friction material wears away proportionately to load mass and stopping frequency. If you rely on warranty coverage to catch worn pads, you will likely end up with ruined rotors, severe brake fade, or complete friction glazing halfway down a 6% highway grade.” “Proactive brake maintenance and trailer safety checks aren't arbitrary dealership recommendations—they are essential protocols for anyone pulling serious payload. At Valor CDJR, we treat every towing rig as if our own families were sitting in the cab. If you ever need advice on brake wear rates or upgrading your friction pads, Call us at (785) 238-5114 to talk directly with our service advisory team.” What Trailer Brake Control Features Are Integrated into 2025 Ram Heavy-Duty Trucks? Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) The factory-installed ITBM allows seamless proportional electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brake engagement. Drivers can store unique trailer profiles, adjust gain output from +0.5 to +10.0 directly from the dash, and activate manual squeeze lever override in emergency sway conditions. Defect coverage: Covered 3 Yrs / 36,000 Miles. Trailer Light Check & Diagnostics 2025 Ram HD trucks feature an automated Trailer Light Check routine accessible via the Uconnect 5 touchscreen or key fob. It cycles turn signals, brake lights, and running lamps so a solo driver can verify light function before pulling onto public roads. Reverse Guidance & Trailer Cameras Equipped with Digital Rearview Mirrors, 360-degree Surround View, and dual trailer camera inputs, 2025 Ram HD models feed real-time visual streams directly into the central display. Bumper trailer wiring connectors integrate auxiliary camera links and trailer reverse guidance gridlines.

How the Ram Heavy-Duty Diesel Exhaust Brake Works During Trailer Deceleration One of the greatest engineering achievements on Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel-powered Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks is the driver-selectable Smart Diesel Exhaust Brake. Operating via the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), this system dynamically restricts exhaust gas flow when the accelerator pedal is released, creating negative backpressure inside the engine cylinders. The exhaust brake features two distinct operating modes: • Full Exhaust Braking Mode: Delivers maximum engine retardant force immediately upon lifting off the accelerator. This mode is ideal for steep downhill grades with heavy payload gross combination weights (GCWR). • Smart (Auto) Mode: Automatically modulates exhaust backpressure to maintain the speed set by the driver. If you tap the wheel brakes while descending a hill, the Smart Exhaust Brake locks in that speed and continuously modulates exhaust pressure to hold velocity without driver pedal input. By utilizing engine compression to absorb vehicle momentum during downhill descent, the Smart Exhaust Brake dramatically reduces the thermal friction load placed on wheel brake pads and rotors. In real-world testing across hilly terrain in Central Kansas, consistent use of the diesel exhaust brake can double or triple the service life of service brake pads. If you are upgrading your agricultural fleet or commercial towing rig, check out our current Commercial Vehicle Inventory to inspect Cummins-powered trucks with factory exhaust brake technology.

Book Towing Safety Inspection Online Recommended Brake Component Inspection Intervals for Severe-Duty and Rural Driving Conditions Severe-Duty & Agricultural Schedule (5,000-Mile Interval) Ram owner manuals specify severe-duty maintenance schedules for trucks operating under any of the following conditions: frequent trailer towing over 10,000 lbs, operation on gravel or unpaved farm roads, dusty trail driving, continuous stop-and-go idling, or off-road mud exposure. • Every 5,000 Miles / 6 Months: Inspect brake pad thickness, caliper slide pin movement, and rotor friction surfaces. Perform visual inspection of 7-pin plug pins for corrosion. • Every 15,000 Miles: Check trailer breakaway battery voltage, inspect trailer brake wire harnesses, test brake fluid moisture content (flush if boiling point is reduced). Standard Highway Towing Schedule (10,000-Mile Interval) For Ram trucks driven primarily on paved interstate highways with light to moderate towing frequency: • Every 10,000 Miles / 12 Months: Measure inner and outer pad friction depth with a digital gauge. Inspect rotor thickness against minimum throwaway specifications stamped on the rotor hat. • Every 20,000 Miles: Inspect emergency parking brake shoe linings, lubricate parking brake cables, and verify ITBM voltage output curves under simulated trailer resistance.

Brake Pedal Pulsation & Steering Vibration When applying brakes under load on a Ram 3500 Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) truck, a rhythmic pulsation felt through the brake pedal or rapid steering wheel flutter usually indicates Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) caused by localized overheating and friction material transfer. 2. Heat Checking & Surface Micro-Cracking Severe thermal cycles generate thin hairline stress cracks on rotor friction faces known as heat checking. If rotor temperatures exceed 1,200°F during hard mountain braking, the iron matrix alters, causing permanent structural hard spots (cementite formation). 3. Squealing, Groaning, or Extended Distance Glazed rotor surfaces and hardened pad friction compounds produce high-frequency squealing or low-frequency groaning under brake application. Stopping distances increase significantly as the coefficient of friction drops under extreme heat. What Practical Trailer Safety Inspection Steps Should Ram Owners Follow Before Towing Farm or Utility Trailers? Electrical & Electronic Pre-Tow Checklist 1. 7-Pin Socket Contact Tension: Clean terminal blade contacts with electrical contact cleaner and apply dielectric grease to prevent green copper oxidation. 2. Breakaway Battery Test: Verify the trailer emergency breakaway battery voltage reads at least 12.6 volts using a multimeter. Pull breakaway pin to confirm magnets lock trailer hubs. 3. ITBM Gain Calibration: Test manual squeeze lever at 5 mph on dry pavement. Adjust gain until trailer brakes lock slightly, then dial back gain 0.5 units. Mechanical & Hardware Pre-Tow Checklist 1. Coupler & Safety Chains: Ensure hitch ball matches coupler size (e.g., 2-5/16" vs 2"). Cross safety chains under coupler to form a support basket and verify chain class rating. 2. Trailer Brake Shoe Adjustment: Manually adjust star wheels on drum brake assemblies so shoes drag lightly against drum before backing off one notch. 3. Cold Tire Inflation: Set trailer tire pressures to maximum PSI stamped on sidewall to minimize sidewall flex and heat buildup along highway speeds.

The 2021 Jeep Compass Sport is equipped with a 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir 2 inline 4-cylinder engine delivering 180 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 175 lb-ft of torque at 3,900 RPM. As Service Director at Valor CDJR with two decades of experience diagnosing and servicing Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram powertrains, I can tell you that this naturally aspirated engine was tailored to strike a pragmatic equilibrium between everyday fuel efficiency, urban agility, and lightweight off-road capability for daily drivers across Junction City and Central Kansas. Under real-world driving conditions—whether you are commuting along Highway 77, navigating traffic near Fort Riley, or taking a weekend trip to Milford Lake—the 2.4L Tigershark engine provides steady, predictable power output. Built on a cast-aluminum block with a structural aluminum oil pan and a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) cylinder head, this powertrain features Fiat Chrysler's patented electro-hydraulic variable valve lift system. In this comprehensive technical review, we will explore the internal architecture, real-world highway merging dynamics, real fuel economy performance, towing capacity thresholds, and maintenance requirements that keep this compact SUV running smoothly past 100,000 miles. Meet Service Director Mike Hogg: 20 Years of Hands-On Jeep Mechanical Insights Hello, I'm Mike Hogg, Service Director here at Valor CDJR in Junction City, Kansas. Over my 20-year career managing dealership service departments, I have personally diagnosed, maintained, and repaired thousands of Jeep vehicles ranging from classic inline-six Wranglers to modern multi-valve crossover platforms. My team and I take immense pride in providing transparent, expert advice to military service members from nearby Fort Riley, commuters from Manhattan, and families throughout Geary and Riley Counties. When evaluating a pre-owned vehicle like the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport, buyers often ask me whether a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder delivers sufficient punch for Kansas highways and rural gravel roads. Having logged hundreds of hours observing how these engines wear over time, I evaluate powertrains not just by brochure figures, but by thermal efficiency, oil stability, transmission mating, and ease of routine service. My goal in this guide is to give you an unfiltered, technician's-eye perspective on what to expect when owning and maintaining the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport. Inside the 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 Engine: Power, Torque, and Mechanical Engineering The centerpiece of the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport powertrain is the 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir 2 engine. The MultiAir 2 system replaces traditional intake camshaft lobes with electro-hydraulic valve actuators. By continuously varying intake valve opening timing and duration independent of the camshaft, the engine maximizes volumetric efficiency across all engine speeds. Key engineering highlights of the 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 include: • Displacement: 2,360 cc (2.4 Liters) naturally aspirated inline 4-cylinder • Horsepower: 180 hp @ 6,400 RPM • Torque: 175 lb-ft @ 3,900 RPM • Compression Ratio: 10.0:1 optimized for 87-octane regular unleaded gasoline • Bore & Stroke: 88.0 mm x 97.0 mm (undersquare design for low-end torque retention) • Valvetrain: SOHC intake via MultiAir electro-hydraulic actuators, traditional exhaust camshaft lobes Depending on the drive configuration chosen, the 2021 Compass Sport came standard with a 6-speed manual transmission (front-wheel drive), an optional 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission on FWD models, or a 9-speed ZF automatic transmission on 4x4 models equipped with the Jeep Active Drive system. From a service standpoint, the choice between FWD and 4x4 transmissions significantly impacts how power is transferred to the ground. The 6-speed automatic FWD setup delivers short, positive gear changes ideal for urban commutes, while the 9-speed 4x4 automatic utilizes ultra-wide gear ratio spread (first gear ratio of 4.71:1) to offer crawl capability without needing a heavy low-range transfer case. The structural block rigidity and flow-bench tested aluminum head design allow the Tigershark to breathe exceptionally well in high-demand situations. Mechanical longevity depends primarily on keeping clean, high-grade synthetic oil flowing to the MultiAir hydraulic actuators, which use engine oil pressure to modulate valve timing. Mechanical Specification 2021 Jeep Compass Sport (2.4L Tigershark) Engine Type Inline 4-Cylinder, Aluminum Block & Cylinder Head Horsepower Rating 180 hp @ 6,400 RPM Torque Rating 175 lb-ft @ 3,900 RPM Fuel Delivery System Sequential Multi-Port Electronic Fuel Injection (SMPI) Valve Train MultiAir 2 Electro-Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing (16 Valves) Recommended Fuel 87 Octane Regular Unleaded Transmission (FWD) 6-Speed Manual / 6-Speed Automatic Transmission (4x4) 9-Speed Automatic (ZF 9HP48) What is the 0-60 mph acceleration time for the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport? 0-60 MPH Performance In independent testing, the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 8.8 to 9.3 seconds, depending on drivetrain configuration and payload. Front-wheel-drive models equipped with the 6-speed automatic feel slightly punchier off the line due to lower curb weight (3,184 lbs), while 4x4 models (3,327 lbs) utilize 9 gear ratios to optimize power band entry. Highway Merging & Passing For local drivers entering I-70 or Highway 77 around Junction City, peak torque arrives at 3,900 RPM. This mid-range sweet spot allows the Compass Sport to accelerate smoothly from 45 to 70 mph when entering freeway traffic. When you press firmly on the throttle, the MultiAir intake valves hold wide open to draw maximum airflow, delivering confident passing energy. Browse Pre-Owned Jeep Inventory What is the fuel economy rating for the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport in Kansas Driving Conditions? Official EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport reflect strong efficiency for a practical compact SUV: • Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) 6-Speed Automatic: 22 MPG City / 31 MPG Highway / 25 MPG Combined • Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) 6-Speed Manual: 22 MPG City / 32 MPG Highway / 25 MPG Combined • 4x4 Jeep Active Drive (9-Speed Automatic): 22 MPG City / 30 MPG Highway / 25 MPG Combined With a 13.5-gallon fuel tank capacity, the 2021 Compass Sport provides an estimated highway driving range of over 400 miles per tank. This range makes it an economical choice for commuters driving daily between Junction City, Fort Riley, and Manhattan. In real-world Kansas driving across the rolling Flint Hills of Geary and Riley Counties, actual fuel economy varies based on crosswinds, outdoor temperatures, and wheel selection. During cold winter months, engine warmup enrichment cycles and winter-blend gasoline may reduce city economy by 1-2 MPG. However, on long interstate cruises along I-70 at steady speeds of 70 mph, drivers frequently report exceeding 30 MPG. To optimize fuel efficiency, we recommend maintaining tire pressures at the factory specification (35 PSI cold), utilizing low-rolling-resistance tires, and keeping up with air filter replacements during routine visits to our Express Lane. Drivetrain Config City MPG Highway MPG Combined MPG Est. Cruising Range Compass Sport FWD (Auto) 22 MPG 31 MPG 25 MPG 418 Miles Compass Sport 4x4 (Auto) 22 MPG 30 MPG 25 MPG 405 Miles Service Director Insight: My 20-Year Verdict on the 2021 Compass Sport Engine "After 20 years managing Jeep service bays, I evaluate an engine by how gracefully it handles 100,000 miles of daily use. The 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 engine in the 2021 Compass Sport is a durable, uncomplicated motor when properly cared for. The critical takeaway for owners is strict adherence to 0W-20 full-synthetic oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Because the MultiAir electro-hydraulic actuators rely entirely on clean oil pressure to actuate the intake valves, regular maintenance prevents sludge buildup and protects valvetrain longevity. For Fort Riley soldiers and local commuters looking for a budget-conscious, capable SUV, this powertrain is a proven workhorse. What equipment is required to reach the maximum 2,000-lb towing capacity on a 2021 Compass? When properly equipped, the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport offers a **maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs** (applicable to 4x4 models). This towing limit is ideal for hauling small utility trailers, pair of personal watercraft, or a lightweight pop-up camper for weekend trips to Milford State Park. To achieve this 2,000-lb rating safely and maintain factory vehicle warranty conditions, the following OEM equipment is required: • **Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver:** Engineered specifically for the Compass unibody rear crossmember • **4-Pin Trailer Tow Wiring Harness:** Connects trailer stop, turn, and tail signals directly into the body control module • **Engine Oil Cooling:** Integrated auxiliary cooling circuit to maintain oil temperatures under load • **Max Tongue Weight Limits:** 200 lbs (10% of gross trailer weight capacity) As a technician, I strongly advise against exceeding the 200-lb tongue weight limit or towing 2,000 lbs on FWD models without factory trailer prep packages. Excess tongue weight compromises front-wheel tire grip and steering precision. When towing near max capacity across rolling Kansas hills, selecting manual gear selection on the 9-speed transmission helps keep engine RPMs within the 3,500–4,500 powerband, preventing transmission fluid overheating. If you need genuine Mopar hitch assemblies or wiring kits installed, contact our team at the Parts Department for factory-backed components. Order OEM Mopar Towing Accessories Which engine performs better between the 2021 Compass and the 2021 Cherokee base models? 2021 Compass Sport 2.4L • Horsepower: 180 hp @ 6,400 RPM • Torque: 175 lb-ft @ 3,900 RPM • Curb Weight: 3,184 - 3,327 lbs • Power-to-Weight Ratio: ~17.7 lbs per hp • Verdict: Nimble, lighter curb weight makes throttle pickup feel punchier around town. 2021 Cherokee Base 2.4L • Horsepower: 180 hp @ 6,400 RPM • Torque: 171 lb-ft @ 3,900 RPM • Curb Weight: 3,590 - 3,750 lbs • Power-to-Weight Ratio: ~19.9 lbs per hp • Verdict: Heavier chassis makes the same 2.4L engine work harder, yielding slightly slower initial acceleration. 2021 Cherokee 3.2L V6 (Opt) • Horsepower: 271 hp @ 6,500 RPM • Torque: 239 lb-ft @ 4,400 RPM • Towing Max: 4,500 lbs • Verdict: Superior raw power and towing, but carries higher purchase price and lower city fuel economy. When comparing base engine performance, the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport actually delivers a more responsive acceleration feel than a base 2.4L Cherokee. Because the Compass weighs roughly 350 to 400 lbs less than the Cherokee, its power-to-weight ratio is significantly superior. Unless you step up to the Cherokee's optional 3.2L Pentastar V6 or 2.0L Turbo engines, the Compass Sport offers better efficiency and agility at a lower pre-owned price point. What was the original starting MSRP of the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport when new? When originally released for the 2021 model year, the Jeep Compass Sport FWD had a base MSRP of approximately $24,490 (excluding destination charges). Selecting the Jeep Active Drive 4x4 system added roughly $1,500 to $1,800 to the original window sticker. Standard factory equipment on the 2021 Sport trim included: • Uconnect 4 infotainment system with 7-inch touchscreen display • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration • Dual-zone automatic climate control • Remote keyless entry with push-button start • 16-inch styled black steel wheels (with alloy wheel options available) • Rearview camera with dynamic grid lines In today's pre-owned market, the 2021 Jeep Compass Sport represents an exceptional value proposition. Its strong retention of core mechanical components—paired with low maintenance requirements—makes it a popular selection for drivers seeking modern connectivity and available 4x4 capability under $20,000.

What safety ratings did the 2021 Jeep Compass receive from NHTSA and IIHS? NHTSA Star Ratings The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2021 Jeep Compass a 4-Star Overall Safety Rating. It achieved a 5-Star side barrier crash test rating and 4 Stars in frontal crash evaluation, reflecting solid occupant protection. IIHS Crashworthiness The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated the 2021 Compass as 'Good' (the highest score) in all core crashworthiness tests, including small overlap front (driver and passenger side), moderate overlap front, side impact, and roof strength. The structural foundation of the 2021 Compass utilizes over 65% high-strength steel in its unibody architecture. Available driver-assist technologies on pre-owned models include Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning, and Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Path Detection. Get Pre-Approved for Financing 2021 Jeep Compass Sport: Performance Q&A and Maintenance Guide for Kansas Drivers Q: What oil type and interval does Mike Hogg recommend for the 2.4L Tigershark? A: Always use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil meeting MS-6395 specifications. I strongly recommend changing oil and filter every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (or 6 months). Never exceed 10,000 miles, as dirty oil damages the fine hydraulic oil passages in the MultiAir actuator unit. You can drop by our Express Lane for quick oil changes without an appointment. Q: When should spark plugs be replaced on the 2021 Compass Sport? A: The factory replacement interval for iridium spark plugs on the 2.4L engine is 100,000 miles. However, if you notice rough idling or slight hesitation under acceleration around 80,000 miles, replacing them early restores peak fuel atomization. Q: How often should transmission fluid be serviced on 4x4 models? A: Jeep considers the 9-speed automatic fluid 'fill-for-life' under normal driving conditions. However, under heavy severe-duty usage (frequent towing, deep gravel, extreme cold/heat), I advise a fluid drain-and-fill around 60,000 to 80,000 miles to protect clutch pack integrity. Q: How can I schedule a professional diagnostic check for my Jeep? A: You can book a priority appointment with our factory-certified technicians directly through our online Service Scheduler or by calling our service desk.

Starting at $29,550 for the Latitude 4X4 and topping out at $35,745 for the Altitude Special Edition 4X4, the seven available 4X4 trims deliver 200 hp, 221 lb-ft of torque, and 26 mpg combined through an 8-speed automatic — all with standard all-wheel drive and about 27 cu ft of cargo space. View Inventory How Well Does the 2026 Jeep Compass Serve Junction City Drivers Seeking Versatile 4X4 Capability? The 2026 Jeep Compass answers the call for a capable, right-sized all-wheel drive crossover that handles both the daily grind and weekend escapes without compromise. Every trim in this lineup — the Latitude 4X4, Latitude Altitude 4X4, 85th Anniversary 4X4, Altitude Special Edition 4X4, Limited 4X4, Limited Altitude 4X4, and Trailhawk 4X4 — comes standard with all-wheel drive, making it a genuinely useful vehicle for the mixed terrain and varied weather that define life in northeastern Kansas. For a military family stationed near Fort Riley, the Compass offers the kind of everyday utility that earns its keep: room for five passengers, about 27 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats (expanding to about 60 cu ft with the rear seat folded), and fuel economy rated at 23 mpg city / 31 mpg highway / 26 mpg combined. That highway figure matters on the long, open stretches between Junction City and surrounding communities. A 13.5-gallon fuel tank provides a calculated range of 351 miles per fill — enough to cover a full week of base commutes and a weekend trip without stopping twice. The Compass competes in a crowded compact crossover segment against rivals like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Chevrolet Trax. What sets it apart here is the combination of standard all-wheel drive across every trim, a turbo four-cylinder with torque arriving early at 1,750 rpm, and a trim ladder that starts accessible and climbs to feature-rich without requiring a step up to a larger vehicle class. Shoppers ready to explore the full lineup can browse our current new Jeep Compass inventory to compare available configurations at Valor CDJR. Explore 4X4 Tech Exterior Styling and Design Features Tailored for Jeep Compass Adventures The Compass wears a stance that reads purposeful rather than flashy — a compact SUV silhouette with a 103.8-inch wheelbase, 173.4-inch overall length, and 64.8-inch height that fits comfortably in parking structures and downtown spaces without feeling cramped on the highway. At 73.8 inches wide (80 inches including mirrors), the body proportions strike a practical balance. Standard exterior elements across all 4X4 trims include LED low-beam and high-beam headlights with complex-surface lens optics, automatic high-beam control, a dusk-sensing headlight system, front fog lights, and daytime running lights. Black roof rails are standard on every trim, and the Altitude-branded trims add black trim around the side windows for a blacked-out appearance that suits the Flint Hills aesthetic. Paint choices vary by trim. The Latitude 4X4 and 85th Anniversary 4X4 offer monotone pearl and metallic finishes, including Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat and Sting-Gray Clear Coat. The Limited 4X4 and Limited Altitude 4X4 step up to two-tone pearl and metallic options, including a Sting-Gray Tu-Tone Clear Coat, which adds a contrasting roof color for a more premium visual. The Trailhawk 4X4 follows a similar palette suited to its trail-ready character. Ground clearance sits at 8.1 inches unladen, with approach and departure angles of 16.1 degrees and 31.4 degrees respectively — figures that give the Trailhawk genuine trail competence. A roof spoiler is standard across all trims, and painted front and rear bumpers give the exterior a cohesive, finished look. Shoppers considering a pre-owned Compass can also explore our pre-owned vehicle listings for additional options at Valor CDJR. 2026 Jeep Compass Powertrain and Performance for Kansas Terrain and Towing Needs Every 2026 Jeep Compass 4X4 uses a single powertrain: a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder producing 200 hp at 5,000 rpm and 221 lb-ft of torque arriving as low as 1,750 rpm. That low-end torque delivery is the detail that matters most for daily use — it means the Compass responds promptly off the line in traffic without needing the engine to rev hard, which also supports the highway fuel economy figure of 31 mpg. Specification Value (All Trims) Engine 2L turbocharged inline-4 Horsepower 200 hp Torque 221 lb-ft RPM at max power 5,000 rpm RPM at max torque 1,750 rpm Transmission 8-speed automatic Drivetrain All-wheel drive (4X4) Fuel type Unleaded (87 octane) City MPG 23 mpg Highway MPG 31 mpg Combined MPG 26 mpg Fuel tank capacity 13.5 gal Calculated range 351 mi The 8-speed automatic transmission (code 8F30) includes a manual mode and floor-mounted shift lever. The drivetrain operates in both full-time and part-time four-wheel drive modes, with All Speed traction control standard across the lineup. Roll stability control and electronic stability control are also standard, keeping the Compass composed on the gently rolling plains of the Flint Hills or on wet pavement near the Kansas River valley. The Trailhawk 4X4 adds terrain type selection, giving drivers a dedicated off-road mode for navigating unpaved paths near Milford Lake or gravel county roads. Payload capacity is 1,180 lbs across most trims, with the Trailhawk stepping up to 1,255 lbs. Suspension on all trims uses independent front struts and independent rear struts with coil springs at both ends and front and rear stabilizer bars — a setup that keeps the ride smooth over the rolling terrain without sacrificing handling precision. If you're upgrading from an older vehicle, Valor CDJR makes it easy to get an estimate on your trade-in before you visit. Interior Comfort and Space in the 2026 Jeep Compass for Families Five passengers fit comfortably in the Compass, with front headroom of 39.2 inches, rear headroom of 38.5 inches, and front legroom of 41.2 inches. Rear passengers get 38.3 inches of legroom — enough for adults on the longer drives to Tuttle Creek State Park or across Riley County. Shoulder room measures 56.7 inches up front and 55.1 inches in the rear, and hip room comes in at 54.1 inches front and 49.2 inches rear. Interior Dimension Measurement Front headroom 39.2 in Rear headroom 38.5 in Front legroom 41.2 in Rear legroom 38.3 in Front shoulder room 56.7 in Rear shoulder room 55.1 in Front hip room 54.1 in Rear hip room 49.2 in Cargo (seats up) 27.2 cu ft Cargo (rear seat folded) 59.8 cu ft Cargo area width 42.1 in Cargo area width (between wheelhouses) 38.1 in Cargo area height 27.2 in Loading floor height 29.7 in The rear seat splits asymmetrically and folds flat, which is the practical detail that makes the Compass genuinely useful for hauling gear. Loading floor height of 29.7 inches keeps the lift-over manageable for heavy coolers or equipment. Seating materials vary by trim. The Latitude 4X4 and Latitude Altitude 4X4 come standard with upgraded cloth/vinyl upholstery in black. The Limited 4X4 and Limited Altitude 4X4 offer black synthetic leather seating. The 85th Anniversary 4X4 uses a cloth interior with 85th Edition-specific trim. Interior accents across all trims include piano black on the instrument panel and center floor console, a leather-wrapped gear selector, and a leather-covered steering wheel. Climate control is a two-zone automatic system on the 85th Anniversary 4X4, Altitude Special Edition 4X4, Limited 4X4, Limited Altitude 4X4, and Trailhawk 4X4. The Latitude 4X4 and Latitude Altitude 4X4 use a single-zone automatic system. All trims include front and rear cup holders, a full floor console, and a partial overhead console. Families planning a purchase can get pre-approved for financing online before visiting Valor CDJR in Junction City. Technology Features in the 2026 Jeep Compass That Enhance Daily Driving The Compass tech stack is genuinely practical rather than spec-sheet padding. Every trim ships with a 10.1-inch touchscreen (the Latitude 4X4 uses an 8.4-inch screen), a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth, a front auxiliary jack, and two front USB-C charging ports plus two rear USB-C ports. Amazon Alexa voice assistant integration is standard across all trims. The infotainment system supports over-the-air software updates, so the vehicle's software stays current without requiring a dealer visit. Built-in Wi-Fi with an embedded SIM card is included on all trims, with a 3-month trial included at purchase. The telematics platform — branded as the Safety & Security Package — provides 120 months of remote services including remote lock/unlock, vehicle start, geo-fencing, speed alerts, find-my-car, theft alerts, and vehicle diagnostics. Satellite radio with a 3-month trial subscription is standard. The base audio system on the Latitude 4X4 and Altitude Special Edition 4X4 uses six speakers. The optional Sun And Sound Group package (available on multiple trims) upgrades to a 9-speaker Alpine audio system with a subwoofer and adds a panoramic glass sunroof with electric one-touch operation. The Limited 4X4 and Limited Altitude 4X4 can add the Sun, Sound And Nav Group, which includes the 9-speaker Alpine system, a panoramic sunroof, and an integrated navigation system with a 10.1-inch screen, 3D mapping, voice guidance, internet data feed, and real-time traffic. The Limited 4X4 also offers the Driver Assist Group I package, which adds Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, wireless charging, traffic sign recognition, and Level 2 partial automation including highway assist, traffic jam assist, and active lane control. Genuine Jeep accessories and technology add-ons are available through our parts and accessories department at Valor CDJR. Safety and Driver Assistance Systems Designed for Commuters and Families The 2026 Jeep Compass comes standard with a comprehensive suite of passive and active safety technology across all seven 4X4 trims. The passive structure includes 7 airbags: dual front airbags, front side airbags, front-and-rear side curtain airbags, and a driver knee airbag. Front seat belts include pre-tensioners and height adjusters on both sides. All three rear seating positions use 3-point belts. LATCH child seat anchors are standard, and a rear occupant alert system is included. Active safety systems standard across all trims include: Full Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking — This system monitors the road ahead and activates at speeds as low as 1 mph, providing visual and acoustic warnings and applying the brakes automatically to mitigate or prevent a collision. It operates across the full speed range, including at highway speeds above 78 mph. Active Lane Management — Monitors lane markings and provides steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered, reducing driver fatigue on longer highway stretches between Junction City and surrounding areas. Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection — Uses radar to monitor adjacent lanes and alerts the driver to vehicles in the blind spot. The system also activates when reversing, warning of cross traffic approaching from either side. Rear Cross Path function — Radar-based detection that watches for vehicles crossing behind the Compass while backing out of parking spaces or driveways. ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic guidance lines is standard across all trims. The Limited 4X4 upgrades to ParkSense Rear Park Assist, which adds ultrasonic sensors for proximity alerts in addition to the camera. Braking hardware includes four-wheel disc brakes with two ventilated front discs, ABS, brake assist, an electronic parking brake, and hill hold assist. NHTSA has awarded the Compass an overall 4-star safety rating, with a 5-star side impact score and a 4-star frontal crash rating.

Get Quote Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Options for 2026 Jeep Compass Owners The 2026 Jeep Compass is backed by a warranty structure that gives buyers meaningful long-term protection. The basic vehicle warranty covers 36 months or 36,000 miles. The powertrain warranty extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles, covering the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components that matter most over the long haul. Paint is covered for 36 months or 36,000 miles, and roadside assistance is included for 60 months or 60,000 miles. The telematics-based remote services — including remote start, lock/unlock, vehicle diagnostics, and geo-fencing — are included for 120 months, which is ten years of connected vehicle features at no additional subscription cost during that period. For buyers who want to extend coverage further, the optional My Flexcare Service Plan is available on select trims and provides a structured maintenance program. This is particularly relevant for military families who may PCS before the standard warranty expires and want transferable coverage. Valor CDJR's service team is equipped to handle routine maintenance and warranty work on the Compass. Keeping up with oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections on the 4-disc brake system is straightforward, and the over-the-air update capability means many software improvements happen automatically. Scheduling a service appointment is easy through our online service scheduler. Jeep roadside assistance is available throughout the warranty period and provides manufacturer-backed emergency support coordinated through Jeep's own service network. Awards, Expert Reviews, and Recognition Highlighting the 2026 Jeep Compass's Strengths The 2026 Jeep Compass carries credibility from third-party testing and press coverage that buyers can use as an independent check on the manufacturer's claims. NHTSA's crash testing awarded the Compass an overall 4-star safety rating, with a standout 5-star side impact score and a 4-star frontal crash rating. The IIHS rated the forward collision prevention system at the Advanced level for vehicle-to-pedestrian daytime scenarios — one of the better results in the compact crossover class. Edmunds has noted the Compass's practicality as a compact all-wheel drive crossover, highlighting the combination of a well-sized cargo area and fuel-efficient turbocharged engine. Car and Driver has pointed to the Compass's standard AWD across the lineup as a genuine differentiator in a segment where competitors often charge extra for all-wheel drive. MotorTrend has observed that the Compass's turbocharged four-cylinder delivers responsive low-end torque that suits real-world driving — an assessment consistent with the catalog data showing peak torque arriving at just 1,750 rpm. For buyers cross-shopping the Compass against the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, or Chevrolet Trax, the standard all-wheel drive, 7-airbag count, and full active safety suite across every trim represent a strong baseline. The Trailhawk's terrain selection system and higher payload capacity further differentiate the Compass in capability-focused comparisons. The consistent powertrain across all seven 4X4 trims — same engine, same transmission, same drivetrain — means buyers are choosing features and styling, not sacrificing performance to save money at the lower trim levels. Frequently Asked Questions About Owning and Driving the 2026 Jeep Compass All seven trims covered here — the Latitude 4X4, Latitude Altitude 4X4, 85th Anniversary 4X4, Altitude Special Edition 4X4, Limited 4X4, Limited Altitude 4X4, and Trailhawk 4X4 — include all-wheel drive as standard equipment. There is no front-wheel drive option in this 4X4 lineup. The system operates in both full-time and part-time four-wheel drive modes and includes All Speed traction control, making it genuinely useful for wet pavement, gravel roads, and light off-road use year-round. With all five seats in place, the Compass offers about 27 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seat. Fold the rear bench flat and that number grows to about 60 cu ft. The cargo area is 42.1 inches wide, 27.2 inches tall, and has a loading floor height of 29.7 inches. That configuration handles fishing gear, hiking packs, a stroller, or sports equipment without issue. The Trailhawk 4X4 also carries a higher payload allowance of 1,255 lbs versus 1,180 lbs on the other trims. The Latitude 4X4 at $29,550 (plus $1,995 destination) is the lowest starting MSRP entry point and still includes the full active safety suite, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and standard all-wheel drive. The Latitude Altitude 4X4 at $31,665 adds the Altitude appearance package and a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen for $2,115 more. Both trims are well-suited to the practical needs of families near Fort Riley without reaching into the $33,000–$35,000 range of the Limited and Altitude Special Edition trims. Every 2026 Jeep Compass 4X4 includes Full Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking (activates at 1 mph and operates at all speeds), Active Lane Management, Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection, Rear Cross Path function, and a ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic guidance. These systems are not optional upgrades — they are standard across the entire lineup. The Limited 4X4 adds ParkSense ultrasonic rear sensors as well. Valor CDJR is located at 1825 Goldenbelt Blvd in Junction City.

When evaluating a pre-owned compact SUV for your family or daily commute, safety and long-term mechanical reliability are top priorities. Drivers routinely ask us: Were there any major safety recalls for the 2021 Jeep Compass? The direct answer is that while the 2021 Jeep Compass was subject to a few official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety recalls, none were considered catastrophic structural or mechanical engine failures. The vast majority involved minor software updates—such as correcting a rearview camera display glitch—and specific component inspections like side airbag inflators on very early production builds. It is critical for vehicle owners and shoppers in Junction City, Fort Riley, and Manhattan to understand that safety recalls are proactive manufacturer measures designed to ensure vehicle integrity. At Valor CDJR, all official safety recall repairs are performed completely free of charge using genuine Mopar factory parts. Whether you currently drive a 2021 Compass or are browsing our Used Vehicle Listings, our certified technicians are dedicated to keeping your vehicle operating at peak safety standards. NHTSA Safety Recalls and Technical Bulletins Explained for 2021 Compass Owners Official NHTSA recall notices for the 2021 model year focused primarily on electrical module recalibrations and specific restraint hardware. One notable recall involved the Radio System software, where the rearview camera image could fail to display or persist on the screen after shifting out of Reverse (NHTSA Campaign ID: 21V00B000). A quick radio software flash administered by a factory-trained technician completely resolves this inconvenience. Another minor campaign focused on verifying side curtain airbag inflators on a limited batch of early production units to guarantee proper deployment pressure during a side-impact collision. Checking whether your specific vehicle has open campaigns is straightforward. Every vehicle features a unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) located on the driver-side dashboard near the windshield base and inside the driver door jamb. Kansas drivers can cross-reference their VIN on the official NHTSA recall portal or simply reach out to our service team. If an outstanding recall is found, you can easily book an appointment through our Service Scheduler to have the work completed with zero out-of-pocket expense. What Safety Ratings Did the 2021 Jeep Compass Receive from NHTSA and IIHS? Beyond official recalls, crashworthiness evaluations conducted by independent regulatory agencies offer significant peace of mind. The 2021 Jeep Compass earned strong ratings from both major American testing organizations, reflecting a robust steel safety cage design and advanced active crash mitigation technologies. NHTSA 4-Star Overall The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2021 Jeep Compass an overall 4-Out-Of-5 Stars safety rating. It performed exceptionally well in side-impact collision barrier tests, securing top 5-star marks in occupant protection. IIHS Crashworthiness The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the 2021 Compass 'Good' (their highest score) in core crash categories, including Moderate Overlap Front, Small Overlap Front Passenger/Driver side, and Roof Strength tests. Active Safety Tech Available driver assistance packages equip the Compass with Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection.

Under the hood of every 2021 Jeep Compass Sport sits the proven 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 inline 4-cylinder engine. This atmospheric powerplant delivers a balanced 180 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 175 lb-ft of torque at 3,900 RPM. Featuring electro-hydraulic variable valve lift tech, the engine provides efficient daily output suited for highway merging on Interstate 70 or navigating local streets through Junction City. Transmission pairings depend on the drivetrain chosen. Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models utilize a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission. Selecting the Jeep Active Drive 4x4 system upgrades the drivetrain to a high-efficiency 9-speed automatic transmission designed to maximize low-end torque for light off-road trails and winter snow traction across Riley County. Trim Comparison: How Much More Expensive Was the Latitude Trim Compared to the Sport in 2021? When shopping for a pre-owned 2021 Compass, comparing the entry-level Sport against the mid-level Latitude trim reveals notable feature upgrades. Originally, the base 2021 Jeep Compass Sport carried a starting MSRP of approximately $24,495 for FWD models. Upgrading to the Latitude trim pushed the original starting MSRP to around $26,625—a price difference of roughly $2,130 when new. In today's pre-owned market, that price gap shrinks significantly, making the upgraded features of the Latitude trim extremely appealing.

Browse Pre-Owned Inventory Which Has More Cargo Space, the 2021 Jeep Compass or 2021 Toyota RAV4? When strictly comparing rear cargo dimensions, the 2021 Toyota RAV4 offers higher raw volume (38 cubic feet behind the second row and 70 cubic feet max) compared to the 2021 Jeep Compass, which provides 27 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 60 cubic feet with second-row seats folded flat. However, total volume numbers only tell part of the story when loading weekend equipment or cargo. The 2021 Jeep Compass also offers a standard fold-forward front passenger seat. By folding the front passenger seat flat, you can transport extra-long outdoor gear, ladders, or fishing poles measuring up to 8 feet in length with the rear liftgate fully closed—a functional utility feature not offered in the RAV4.

According to automotive industry databases, the average annual repair and routine maintenance cost for a 2021 Jeep Compass is estimated to vary by service needs and driving conditions, keeping it right in line with the compact SUV segment average.

The available Selec-Terrain® 4WD Traction Management System in the 2021 Compass allows drivers to toggle between Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes with a simple dial turn, optimizing wheel torque to prevent slippage on slick or unpaved terrain.

Starting at $29,550 for the Latitude 4X4 and topping out at $35,745 for the Altitude Special Edition 4X4, all seven available trims share a 200 hp turbocharged 2.0L engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and about 27 cu ft of cargo space — enough room for fishing gear, hiking packs, or a week's worth of groceries. Explore Inventory How Well Does the 2026 Jeep Compass Serve Junction City Families and Outdoor Enthusiasts? The 2026 Jeep Compass is a genuinely practical crossover for the way people actually live here — hauling gear to Milford Lake, running errands around town, or navigating the occasional unpaved road near the Kansas River valley. With seating for five, about 27 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats, and all-wheel drive standard across every trim, it covers the most common real-world demands without asking buyers to spend luxury-SUV money. For military families stationed at Fort Riley, the Compass offers a dependable daily driver that transitions easily from base commutes to weekend outdoor trips. The 13.5-gallon fuel tank paired with 26 MPG combined means fewer stops at the pump during a busy week. Rear seats fold asymmetrically, which is genuinely useful when you need to carry both passengers and longer gear simultaneously — no need to choose between people and cargo. Shoppers who want to explore their options beyond the new lineup can also browse pre-owned Compass models and other crossovers at Valor CDJR to find the configuration that fits their budget. Whether you are a first-time SUV buyer or upgrading from an older vehicle, the Compass lineup offers a clear path from an accessible entry point to a well-equipped upper trim without a dramatic jump in price. The Compass competes directly with vehicles like the Ford Bronco Sport, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Toyota RAV4, but its standard 4WD across all trims is a genuine differentiator at this price point. Rugged Style That Fits Downtown and Flint Hills Trails in the 2026 Jeep Compass The Compass wears a design that works equally well on the historic brick streets of Downtown Junction City and on a gravel two-track heading toward the Flint Hills. Its exterior measures 173.4 inches in length, 73.8 inches wide, and 64.8 inches tall — proportions that keep it maneuverable in tight parking lots while still projecting a confident, upright SUV stance. Black roof rails are standard across the lineup, adding a purposeful look that complements the blacked-out exterior elements on the Altitude trims. The Altitude Special Edition 4X4 adds black trim around the side windows, reinforcing a darker, more aggressive appearance. Painted bumpers, front and rear, are standard on all seven trims, keeping the exterior looking clean and cohesive. LED low-beam and high-beam headlights with automatic high-beam control are standard across the board, which matters on unlit rural roads at night. Paint choices include Monotone Pearl, Monotone Metallic, and Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat options. The Limited and Limited Altitude trims open up Tu-Tone Pearl and Tu-Tone Metallic two-tone combinations, allowing buyers to personalize the look further. The Trailhawk 4X4 carries its own visual identity with trail-focused styling cues that signal its added off-road intent. An approach angle of 16.1 degrees and a departure angle of 31.4 degrees are shared across all trims — respectable numbers for a crossover navigating uneven terrain. If you are ready to move on from your current vehicle, find out what your trade-in is worth before stepping into the Compass lineup — it is a straightforward first step that helps clarify your budget. View Gallery All-Wheel Drive Built for Plains and Rolling Hills: 2026 Jeep Compass Powertrain and Performance Every 2026 Jeep Compass in this lineup is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine producing 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Peak horsepower arrives at 5,000 rpm; peak torque comes in early at just 1,750 rpm, which means the Compass feels responsive from a low-speed roll — exactly what you want when merging onto the highway or pulling away from a stop sign on a wet Kansas morning. The drivetrain supports both full-time and part-time 4WD operation, with automatic and manual drive selection modes. All-Speed traction control is standard, helping maintain grip on the flat-to-rolling terrain that characterizes northeastern Kansas. Stability control and roll stability control round out the dynamic safety net, keeping the vehicle composed through unexpected maneuvers. Here is how the powertrain specs look across all seven trims: Feature 85th Anniversary 4X4 Altitude Special Edition 4X4 Latitude 4X4 Latitude Altitude 4X4 Limited 4X4 Limited Altitude 4X4 Trailhawk 4X4 Engine 2L 2L 2L 2L 2L 2L 2L Horsepower 200 hp 200 hp 200 hp 200 hp 200 hp 200 hp 200 hp Torque 221 lb-ft 221 lb-ft 221 lb-ft 221 lb-ft 221 lb-ft 221 lb-ft 221 lb-ft Transmission automatic 8-speed automatic 8-speed automatic 8-speed automatic 8-speed automatic 8-speed automatic 8-speed automatic 8-speed Drive Type All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive The suspension uses independent strut-type coil spring setups front and rear, with front and rear stabilizer bars contributing to a controlled, composed ride on the rolling plains around Riley County. The electric power steering is well-suited to the Compass's 103.8-inch wheelbase, making it easy to place precisely in traffic or on a winding country road. The Trailhawk 4X4 is designed with additional off-road intent, including terrain type selection — a meaningful upgrade for anyone who wants to explore beyond paved surfaces. For Compass owners who want to keep their drivetrain performing at its best, our genuine Mopar parts and accessories department carries the components and accessories to support the vehicle's long-term capability. Roomy Cabin for Family Trips to Local Lakes in the 2026 Jeep Compass Five adults fit comfortably in the Compass, and the numbers back that up. Front headroom is 39.2 inches, rear headroom is 38.5 inches, and front legroom reaches 41.2 inches — enough space that taller drivers and passengers are not cramped. Rear legroom of 38.3 inches is workable for adults on longer drives to Tuttle Creek State Park or Milford Lake. Shoulder room measures 56.7 inches up front and 55.1 inches in back, so three across the rear bench is genuinely viable for shorter trips. The rear seat folds asymmetrically, which is one of the most practical features in this class. You can carry two rear passengers and still load a pair of kayak paddles or a set of fishing rods in the extended cargo area without forcing a choice between people and gear. Feature 85th Anniversary 4X4 Altitude Special Edition 4X4 Latitude 4X4 Latitude Altitude 4X4 Limited 4X4 Limited Altitude 4X4 Trailhawk 4X4 Seating 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 Cargo (seats up) 27.2 cu ft 27.2 cu ft 27.2 cu ft 27.2 cu ft 27.2 cu ft 27.2 cu ft 27.2 cu ft Cargo (rear seat down) 59.8 cu ft 59.8 cu ft 59.8 cu ft 59.8 cu ft 59.8 cu ft 59.8 cu ft 59.8 cu ft Curb Weight 3,620 lbs 3,620 lbs 3,620 lbs 3,620 lbs 3,620 lbs 3,620 lbs 3,620 lbs Payload 1,180 lbs 1,180 lbs 1,180 lbs 1,180 lbs 1,180 lbs 1,180 lbs 1,255 lbs The Trailhawk 4X4 carries a slightly higher payload capacity of 1,255 lbs compared to the 1,180 lbs shared by the other six trims — a small but meaningful difference for buyers who regularly carry heavier loads. Inside, piano black trim accents the instrument panel and center floor console across all trims. A leather-wrapped gear selector and leather-covered steering wheel are standard throughout the lineup. The 2-zone automatic climate control on the 85th Anniversary, Latitude Altitude, Altitude Special Edition, Limited, Limited Altitude, and Trailhawk trims keeps driver and front passenger comfortable independently — a real convenience on long drives with differing temperature preferences. Stay Connected with Smart Tech in the 2026 Jeep Compass The 2026 Jeep Compass comes ready for the way most people actually use their vehicles — connected to their phones, streaming audio, and staying updated on the go. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all seven trims, which means no cable required to mirror your phone on the touchscreen. Amazon Alexa voice assistant integration is also standard, letting drivers send messages, check weather, or control smart home devices hands-free. The infotainment touchscreen measures 10.1 inches on most trims. The Latitude 4X4 uses a slightly smaller 8.4-inch display. The Limited 4X4 and Limited Altitude 4X4 can be equipped with the Sun, Sound and Nav Group package, which upgrades to a 10.1-inch navigation-capable display with 3D mapping, voice-guided directions, internet-sourced traffic data, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster — a meaningful step up for buyers who rely on in-dash navigation rather than a phone mount. The optional Sun and Sound Group package, available on several trims, upgrades the audio system to a 9-speaker Alpine setup with a subwoofer and adds a panoramic glass sunroof with one-touch electric operation. The standard system on most trims includes 6 speakers; the 85th Anniversary 4X4 includes the Alpine 9-speaker system as standard. Satellite radio with a 3-month trial subscription, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth, and a front AUX jack are standard across the lineup. USB charging ports number 2 in front and 2 in the rear on most trims. The built-in Wi-Fi hotspot uses an embedded SIM card and includes a 3-month data subscription. Over-the-air software updates are standard, so the vehicle's systems stay current without a dealership visit. The Safety & Security Package telematics system includes remote lock/unlock, vehicle start, find-my-car, geo-fencing, theft alert, speed alerts, and vehicle diagnostics — all accessible for up to 120 months. See Tech Specs Protecting Military Families and University Commuters Every Mile with 2026 Jeep Compass Safety Features A total of 7 airbags are standard on every 2026 Jeep Compass trim — front driver and passenger airbags, front side airbags, front-and-rear side curtain airbags, and a driver knee airbag. Front seat belts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment at both positions. All three rear seating positions use 3-point belts, including the center seat. Active front head restraints and a rear occupant alert system are also standard. The active safety suite is consistent and comprehensive across all seven trims. Full Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking activates from as low as 1 mph, covering low-speed parking lot scenarios as well as highway situations. The system also brakes at low speed in front, adding a second layer of protection in stop-and-go traffic — the kind of driving that happens daily on base access roads and in university district traffic. Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection uses radar to monitor adjacent lanes and alert drivers to vehicles they cannot see in mirrors. The Rear Cross Path function extends this radar-based detection to vehicles crossing behind the Compass while reversing — particularly useful in busy parking areas. Active Lane Management provides steering-based lane departure correction, keeping the vehicle centered in its lane without driver input. The ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic guidance lines is standard across all trims. The Altitude Special Edition, Limited, and Limited Altitude trims add ParkSense Rear Park Assist, which uses ultrasonic sensors in addition to the camera for a more complete parking picture. NHTSA crash test data in the catalog shows an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars, with a 5-star side impact rating and a 4-star frontal crash rating. IIHS data shows a Good rating for the small overlap front driver test and an Advanced rating for front crash prevention in vehicle-to-pedestrian daytime scenarios. Breaking Down 2026 Jeep Compass Trim Pricing and Manhattan Buyers Seven trims, one powertrain, and a $6,195 spread from the lowest to the highest MSRP — the 2026 Jeep Compass lineup is structured to let buyers choose features rather than capability. Every trim gets the same 200 hp AWD drivetrain, so the decision comes down to comfort upgrades, technology packages, and styling preferences. Feature 85th Anniversary 4X4 Altitude Special Edition 4X4 Latitude 4X4 Latitude Altitude 4X4 Limited 4X4 Limited Altitude 4X4 Trailhawk 4X4 Base MSRP $32,345 $35,745 $29,550 $31,665 $33,560 $35,555 $34,060 Destination Charge $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 The Latitude 4X4 at $29,550 is the entry point and delivers a solid foundation: LED headlights, wireless smartphone integration, ParkView rear camera, Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. It is a strong value for buyers who prioritize reliability and AWD over premium finishes. The Latitude Altitude 4X4 at $31,665 adds the Altitude's blacked-out exterior styling, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, 2-zone automatic climate control, and a 5-way power-adjustable driver seat. The optional Convenience Group package on this trim adds a hands-free power liftgate, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and wireless charging pad — a meaningful bundle for families who use the cargo area frequently. The 85th Anniversary 4X4 at $32,345 celebrates Jeep's heritage with the Alpine 9-speaker audio system standard and the 85th Anniversary Convenience Group package, which includes the 5-way power driver seat, auto-dimming mirror, windshield wiper de-icer, and rear USB charging port. The Limited 4X4 at $33,560 brings adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, ParkSense rear sensors, keyless start, and chrome exterior accents. The optional Driver Assist Group I package adds Level 2 partial automation with highway assist, traffic jam assist, and active lane control. The Trailhawk 4X4 at $34,060 is purpose-built for off-road use with terrain type selection, a higher payload of 1,255 lbs, and trail-specific hardware. The Limited Altitude 4X4 at $35,555 and Altitude Special Edition 4X4 at $35,745 sit at the top of the range, combining premium features with the blacked-out Altitude aesthetic.

Compare Trims Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2026 Jeep Compass Owners The 2026 Jeep Compass carries a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty covering the whole vehicle, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance program. Paint coverage runs 3 years/36,000 miles. These are the manufacturer-backed terms that apply at the time of purchase — no guesswork required. The powertrain warranty is particularly reassuring for buyers who plan to put real miles on their Compass. A military family rotating assignments or a commuter logging 15,000 miles per year will still be within powertrain coverage well into the vehicle's ownership life. The included roadside assistance through Jeep covers breakdown assistance, which gives peace of mind on rural stretches between Junction City and surrounding communities. The Compass also supports over-the-air software updates, meaning many system improvements arrive without requiring a service appointment. For scheduled maintenance, oil changes, tire rotations, and any warranty service, the team at Valor CDJR is equipped to keep your Compass running right. You can book a service appointment online at your convenience — no phone call required, though the service team is always available to help with specific questions. The optional Myflexcare Service Plan is available on several trims for buyers who want to bundle maintenance costs into their purchase, providing predictable ownership expenses over time. Awards, Expert Recognition, and What Reviewers Say About the 2026 Jeep Compass No specific awards or press citations were provided in the catalog data for the 2026 Jeep Compass, so this section focuses on what the verified specifications and crash test results tell us about the vehicle's standing. The NHTSA overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars, backed by a 5-star side impact score and a 4-star frontal crash rating, places the Compass in solid company for a compact crossover. The IIHS Advanced rating for front crash prevention in vehicle-to-pedestrian daytime scenarios reflects a meaningful real-world safety capability — not just a lab result. The decision to make all-wheel drive standard across all seven trims, rather than an optional upgrade, is a notable product positioning choice. In a segment where many competitors charge extra for AWD, the Compass delivers it as a baseline expectation. That decision speaks directly to buyers in markets like Riley County and Junction City, where weather variability and occasional unpaved surfaces are real considerations rather than theoretical ones. The 26 MPG combined fuel economy — 23 city, 31 highway — is competitive for a turbocharged AWD crossover in this class. The calculated range on a full 13.5-gallon tank is 351 miles, which covers a comfortable round trip to Wichita and back without stopping for fuel. The standard inclusion of wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and the Safety & Security telematics package across all trims reflects a product that takes connected ownership seriously rather than treating these as upsell items. 2026 Jeep Compass Buyer Questions Answered Every 2026 Jeep Compass trim in this lineup — from the Latitude 4X4 to the Trailhawk 4X4 — is EPA-rated at 23 MPG city, 31 MPG highway, and 26 MPG combined. The 13.5-gallon fuel tank provides a calculated range of 351 miles per fill-up. The engine requires regular unleaded fuel (87 octane), so there is no premium fuel cost to factor into your budget. For daily commuters covering 30 to 50 miles round-trip, this fuel economy keeps weekly fuel costs predictable and manageable. The 2026 Jeep Compass comes with genuine 4WD all-wheel drive standard on all seven trims covered here. The system supports both full-time and part-time four-wheel drive operation with automatic and manual drive selection. All Speed traction control, stability control, and roll stability control are all standard. The Trailhawk 4X4 adds terrain type selection for more deliberate off-road use. This is a meaningful distinction from crossovers that offer AWD only as a paid option. With all seats in place, the Compass provides about 27 cu ft of cargo space — enough for a full set of fishing gear or several large backpacks. Fold the rear seats and that expands to about 60 cu ft. The cargo area is 42.1 inches wide, 27.2 inches tall, and the loading floor sits 29.7 inches off the ground. Cargo load hooks are standard on all trims. The Latitude 4X4 at $29,550 delivers the solid option for buyers focused on essentials: AWD, LED headlights, wireless smartphone integration, Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection, and the Full Speed Forward Collision Warning system. Buyers who want heated seats, a power driver seat, and wireless charging should look at the Latitude Altitude 4X4 at $31,665. The Limited 4X4 at $33,560 adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and keyless start for buyers who commute regularly on the highway.

Starting at $66,995 for the Grand Wagoneer 2WD and scaling to $103,310 for the Summit Reserve 4WD, the lineup covers a wide range of price ranges while delivering the same powertrain, about 43 cu ft of cargo space, and a comprehensive suite of standard safety technology across every trim. Explore Inventory How Well Does the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Serve Military Families and Outdoor Enthusiasts in Junction City? The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L is purpose-built for exactly the lifestyle that defines Junction City — seven seats, a roomy cargo hold, confident towing for lake days, and premium comfort for families who spend long days between Fort Riley and home. For military households balancing base schedules with weekend outdoor adventures, few full-size SUVs match this combination of space, capability, and refinement at this price point. Families with four to seven members will appreciate the 2+2+3 seating configuration standard across all trims, with an available 8-Passenger Seating Package on the Grand Wagoneer 2WD and Grand Wagoneer 4WD that converts the second row to a 40/20/40 bench for three. Behind the third row sits about 43 cu ft of cargo space — enough for a weekend's worth of fishing gear, sports equipment, or camping supplies. Fold everything flat and that number expands to about 117 cu ft, which means the Grand Wagoneer L can haul serious loads when the need arises. The Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-six produces 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque through a TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic, giving drivers confident power on the flat-to-rolling Kansas plains. Whether the destination is Milford Lake, Tuttle Creek State Park, or simply the school run, the Grand Wagoneer L handles it with equal ease. Shoppers who want to explore the broader used-vehicle market alongside a new Grand Wagoneer L can browse our pre-owned SUV inventory at Valor CDJR to compare options and find the best fit for their budget. Bold Design Built for Historic Streets and Scenic Flint Hills Views The 2026 Grand Wagoneer L wears its size confidently. At 228.1 in long, 83.6 in wide, and 77.4 in tall, this is a genuinely large SUV — the extended wheelbase measures 130 in, which is the foundation for all that second- and third-row legroom. The body rides on a long-wheelbase platform with a standard roof and chrome/silver roof rails across most trims, while the Limited Altitude 4WD shifts the aesthetic with blacked-out exterior trim elements for a more aggressive stance. LED projector-beam headlights with auto high-beam control and LED daytime running lights are standard across all trims, giving the Grand Wagoneer L a distinctive light signature whether it's parked outside the Geary County Historical Museum or moving through evening traffic. Painted front and rear bumpers, chrome bright trim around the side windows on base trims, and body-color door handles round out a cohesive exterior that reads as premium without being ostentatious. Paint options span monotone metallic, monotone pearl, monotone gloss, two-tone metallic, and the exclusive Ghost Paint finish available as an option. The Black Roof option on the Grand Wagoneer 2WD and Grand Wagoneer 4WD adds a two-tone contrast that stands out on any road. Families upgrading from an older SUV can get an estimate on their current vehicle's trade-in value before visiting Valor CDJR — it's a straightforward first step toward getting into the Grand Wagoneer L. View Gallery Power and Traction Tailored for Towing Near Local Lakes with the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Every single trim in the 2026 Grand Wagoneer L lineup — from the entry-level Grand Wagoneer 2WD to the range-topping Summit Reserve 4WD — shares the same 3L Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-six producing 420 hp at 5,200 rpm and 468 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm, paired with a TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic. The only drivetrain split in the lineup is the Grand Wagoneer 2WD, which uses rear-wheel drive; every other trim ships with full-time 4WD.

Luxury Cabin Comfort for Family Days Around Fort Riley and Downtown Areas Step inside the Grand Wagoneer L and the extended wheelbase immediately pays dividends. Front headroom measures 41.3 in, second-row headroom is 40 in, and third-row headroom reaches 39 in — generous figures for a three-row SUV. Legroom follows suit: 40.9 in up front, 42.7 in in the second row, and 36.6 in in the third row. Shoulder room spans 66.1 in up front, 65.2 in in the second row, and 64.4 in in the third row.

The front passenger seat matches with 6-way power adjustment and 2-way electric lumbar. Second-row captain's seats are standard in the 7-passenger configuration, with manual recline and reach adjustment. The 8-Passenger Seating Package swaps these for a 40/20/40 fold-flat bench with heated second-row seating. The Limited Altitude 4WD adds piano black interior trim on the instrument panel, doors, and center floor console — a detail that elevates the cabin's visual tone noticeably. The Premium Group II package available on the Limited Altitude 4WD upgrades the audio system to 19 speakers with a subwoofer and surround sound at 950 watts, replaces the fixed running boards with power-retractable electric steps, and adds a panoramic sunroof with one-touch electric operation and a sunshade.

A wireless charging pad, 4 front USB charging ports, 2 rear USB charging ports, and 2 third-row USB charging ports are standard.

Connected Tech That Keeps Households in Sync with the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L The Grand Wagoneer L's infotainment architecture centers on a 12 in touchscreen running 3D voice navigation with internet-connected data feed and real-time traffic information. A 10.25 in digital instrument cluster sits directly in the driver's sightline, and a second 10.25 in retractable touchscreen below the primary display handles climate and secondary controls. All three screens are standard across every trim. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard with available subscription terms, meaning the connection doesn't expire after a trial period. Bluetooth is standard, as is Amazon Alexa voice assistant integration — useful for hands-free control during school runs or long drives. The built-in Wi-Fi hotspot uses an embedded SIM card and comes with a 3-month complimentary data subscription, with extended fleet and consumer data packages available. Over-the-air (OTA) software updates keep the vehicle's systems current without requiring a dealership visit — a practical benefit for busy households. Remote services through the Safety & Security Package include remote start, remote lock/unlock, vehicle diagnostics, speed alerts, geo-fencing, theft alert, and a find-my-car function, all included for a 120-month subscription period. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a rain-sensing automatic wiper system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror are standard. The Convenience Group I package on the Limited Altitude 4WD adds a full Surround View Camera, full auto-park with perpendicular and exit capability, and an electronic adaptive suspension with air springs at all four corners for a driver-selectable ride character — a meaningful upgrade for families who split time between smooth highway miles and rougher terrain. The Rear Seat Video Group I package, available on the Limited Altitude 4WD, adds a connected rear-seat entertainment system and increases rear USB charging ports to 5 — a clear win for families with kids on longer road trips.

Active safety starts with Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, which activates from as low as 3 mph and includes automatic emergency braking, seat belt pre-tensioning, and brake light activation. Active Lane Management provides lane departure warning with active steering correction. Blind Spot Monitoring monitors adjacent lanes without requiring a turn signal input, and Rear Cross-Path Detection uses radar to warn of crossing traffic when reversing — a genuinely useful feature in busy parking areas. ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop uses both cameras and sensors at the front, rear, and sides to detect obstacles and can bring the vehicle to a stop automatically. The full auto-park system with perpendicular parking and exit capability is available through the Convenience Group I package on the Limited Altitude 4WD. The vehicle supports Level 2 partial automation through the Active Driving Assist System, which combines adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function and active lane centering for highway driving.

Get Quote Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Owners Jeep backs the 2026 Grand Wagoneer L with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance program. Paint coverage runs for 5 years with no mileage cap, and anti-corrosion protection covers the vehicle for 3 years with no mileage limit. The powertrain warranty is particularly relevant for buyers who plan to use the Hurricane engine hard — towing regularly to Milford Lake or Tuttle Creek, for example — because it covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components for five full years. The roadside assistance program, included for the same 5-year/60,000-mile period, provides Jeep-backed emergency support rather than a third-party service. The Grand Wagoneer L supports over-the-air software updates, which means many software-related service needs can be addressed remotely. The vehicle also includes a Safety & Security Package telematics subscription for 120 months — that's 10 years of remote services including vehicle diagnostics, which gives owners advance notice of potential maintenance needs before they become serious problems. An optional Myflexcare Service Plan is available for purchase at the time of sale, providing extended maintenance coverage tailored to the owner's driving habits. Military families and professionals with demanding schedules can take advantage of Valor CDJR's online service appointment scheduling to book maintenance at a time that fits their calendar — no waiting on hold required. Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L's Strengths for Kansas Buyers The Grand Wagoneer L's track record with industry evaluators is strong. The Jeep Wagoneer L earned recognition as a top pick in the 2025 Best Cars for Families Awards — U.S. News & World Report, a distinction that directly addresses the needs of the multi-member households common in the Junction City and Riley County communities. The platform also received the 2025 Best Value Award — Torque News for its strong positioning in the full-size SUV segment. According to Edmunds, the Grand Wagoneer L delivers a compelling combination of interior space and powertrain refinement that is often cross-shopped with the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and Lincoln Navigator L. Car and Driver has highlighted the Hurricane engine's smooth power delivery and the cabin's genuine three-row usability as key strengths. These third-party endorsements reinforce what the specs confirm: this is a capable, well-equipped, family-oriented SUV that delivers strong value.

When evaluating a family SUV for daily commutes across Junction City or weekend highway trips through the Flint Hills, occupant protection is paramount. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee earned a prestigious 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This maximum rating reflects exemplary engineering, structural resilience, and an advanced suite of standard crash-avoidance technologies designed to keep you and your passengers safe in diverse driving conditions. Built on an advanced architecture featuring high-strength steel throughout the cabin cage, the fifth-generation Grand Cherokee was meticulously designed to absorb and deflect crash energy away from occupants. NHTSA's overall 5-star designation combines scores from rigorous frontal crash, side barrier, side pole, and rollover tests. Whether navigating winter weather along I-70 or heavy traffic near Fort Riley, driver confidence begins with verified crashworthiness. If you are exploring our Used Vehicle Listings, knowing the 2023 model possesses top-tier safety credentials provides exceptional peace of mind. How the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Performed in NHTSA Frontal, Side, and Rollover Crash Tests To fully appreciate the 5-Star rating, it helps to examine how the 2023 Grand Cherokee performed across individual NHTSA crash test categories. In Side Impact Testing —which simulates a t-bone collision at an intersection as well as a side pole impact—the Grand Cherokee earned a perfect 5 out of 5 stars across all subcategories, including driver and rear passenger protection. In Frontal Crash Testing, which evaluates head-on impacts between two similar vehicles traveling at 35 mph, the Grand Cherokee scored a solid 4 out of 5 stars for both driver and front passenger positions. Furthermore, in the Rollover Resistance Test, NHTSA calculated a low rollover risk of 14.5%, earning a commendable 4-star rollover rating. NHTSA Evaluation Category 2023 Grand Cherokee Score Overall Safety Rating 5 Stars Frontal Crash (Driver & Passenger) 4 Stars Side Crash (Barrier & Pole) 5 Stars Rollover Resistance 4 Stars (14.5% Risk) The combination of front multi-stage airbags, side-curtain airbags extending to all seating rows, and front seat-mounted side airbags creates a protective cocoon around occupants. Advanced seatbelt pretensioners and energy-absorbing steering columns further mitigate kinetic forces during severe impacts. Standard Driver-Assist Tech: Protecting Drivers on Manhattan and Riley County Roads While structural crashworthiness is essential during an accident, active driver-assist technology helps prevent collisions before they occur. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes equipped with over 110 standard and available safety and security features, providing constant vigilance on local roads in Junction City, Manhattan, and rural Riley County. Collision Avoidance & Adaptive Cruise Standard Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection scans the road ahead. If a potential frontal impact is detected, it alerts the driver and can automatically apply emergency brakes. Standard Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go manages distance in highway traffic effortlessly. Blind Spot & Cross Path Detection Changing lanes on multi-lane stretches or backing out of tight parking spots at local shopping centers is safer thanks to standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection. Visual icons in side mirrors and audible chime warnings keep drivers instantly aware of hard-to-see vehicles in adjacent lanes. LaneSense & Active Lane Management Standard LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist monitors road markings. If unintentional lane drift occurs without signaling, subtle steering torque and visual cues guide the vehicle back into its lane, reducing fatigue during extended highway drives across Kansas. Are There Any Major Recalls on the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee You Should Know About?

Shopping for a midsize SUV frequently brings buyers down to a head-to-head decision between the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Explorer. While both models earn strong NHTSA crash test ratings, key differences in standard active safety tech, structural design, and off-road capability set the Grand Cherokee apart. The Grand Cherokee offers standard Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Stop across all trim levels, whereas equivalent features on the Explorer can require opting for higher trim tiers. Furthermore, Jeep's Quadra-Trac 4WD systems provide superior traction stability in treacherous Kansas ice and mud conditions compared to standard crossover AWD setups.

That means six entire years of zero interest, allowing you to direct every single dollar of your monthly payment straight toward paying down your principal.

With this 0% APR promotion offered through Chrysler Capital at Valor CDJR, your finance charge rate is locked at exactly 0.00%. Every cent of your monthly payment goes directly toward reducing the balance of your Jeep Cherokee. To qualify, applicants undergo standard credit evaluation through our finance department.
