The 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41 is the right choice for buyers who want legendary off-road capability, a military-heritage design, and modern everyday comfort in one capable package. Priced at $54,425 MSRP, this four-door Wrangler pairs a 270-horsepower turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard 4WD, delivering 20 city / 22 highway MPG. It is a confident daily driver and a capable weekend trail machine — a genuine two-for-one for active families and military-connected buyers in Junction City.

How Well Does the 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41 Handle Commutes and Weekend Outdoor Adventures?

Power and Control for Commutes and Weekend Adventures in the 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41
A turbocharged engine in a Wrangler might surprise some buyers who remember older, naturally aspirated Jeep powerplants, but the 2.0L I-4 DOHC Direct Injection Turbocharged engine in the 4-Door Willys 41 is a genuinely strong performer that earns its place under the hood.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L I-4 DOHC Direct Injection Turbo |
| Horsepower | 270 HP |
| Fuel Type | Premium Unleaded |
| Transmission | 8-Speed Automatic (850RE) |
| Drivetrain | Four Wheel Drive |
| Fuel Economy (City) | 20 MPG |
| Fuel Economy (Highway) | 22 MPG |
The 270 horsepower output gives the Wrangler strong throttle response both on the highway and on the trail. Turbocharging also means the engine produces healthy torque at lower RPMs, which translates to confident pulling power when you are navigating a steep embankment or hauling a loaded trailer to Milford Lake. The 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission manages gear changes smoothly, keeping the engine in a productive power range across a wide variety of driving conditions.
The standard Four Wheel Drive system is the heart of the Willys 41's off-road capability. The Selec-Speed Control feature — included on this in-stock unit — functions like a low-speed cruise control for off-road situations, allowing the driver to focus on steering line rather than managing throttle and brakes on technical terrain. That is a meaningful capability upgrade for buyers who plan to take the Wrangler onto actual trails rather than just gravel driveways.
The engine runs on premium unleaded fuel, which is worth factoring into your ownership budget. For buyers who want to personalize their Wrangler's performance hardware further, Valor CDJR's Jeep parts and accessories department carries a broad selection of genuine Jeep components to support upgrades and maintenance.

Stay Connected Between Manhattan's Campus and Local Job Sites with the 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41's Tech Features
Safety Designed Around Family Life and Busy School Zones in the 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41
The 4-Door Willys 41 is equipped with safety and driver-assistance technology that matters in real-world driving situations — the kind of mixed urban and rural environment that Junction City families navigate every day, from school drop-off zones to highway on-ramps to gravel county roads.
The Selec-Speed Control system, while primarily an off-road tool, also demonstrates the vehicle's broader capability to manage traction and speed in low-grip situations — a relevant safety benefit on wet pavement or loose gravel surfaces that are common on rural Kansas roads.
The Rear Window Defroster and Rear Window Wiper/Washer directly support visibility in adverse weather, which is a genuine safety priority during Kansas winters when ice and snow reduce rear sightlines quickly. Keeping the rear glass clear is a simple but meaningful contribution to safe driving in cold-weather conditions.
The 50 State Emissions compliance package confirms the vehicle meets the most stringent emissions standards available in the United States, reflecting Jeep's commitment to responsible engineering across all configurations.
The Integrated Center Stack Radio and Uconnect 5 system's intuitive layout also contributes to driver safety by reducing the time and mental effort required to interact with infotainment controls. A well-designed interface keeps driver attention on the road rather than on the screen — a practical safety benefit that is easy to overlook but genuinely important.
For military families managing busy schedules and driving kids through active school zones and community event traffic, the Wrangler's combination of capable 4WD traction, strong visibility, and driver-focused interior design provides meaningful peace of mind on every drive.

That is a genuinely well-equipped package rather than a stripped-down base build.
For working families and veterans in Riley County balancing an active lifestyle with a practical household budget, the Wrangler's combination of off-road hardware, modern technology, and four-door practicality at this price makes it competitive against rivals like the Ford Bronco and Toyota 4Runner.

2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41 Buyer Questions Answered
The in-stock 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Willys 41 at Valor CDJR is EPA-rated at 20 MPG city and 22 MPG highway. That is a reasonable figure for a body-on-frame, four-door 4WD SUV powered by a 270-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged engine. For buyers commuting between Junction City and local job sites regularly, the highway number is the more relevant figure for fuel budgeting purposes.
Yes. The 4-Door Willys 41 features Jeep's Freedom Panel removable roof system, and the in-stock unit at Valor CDJR includes the Freedom Panel Storage Bag to protect the panels when they are off the vehicle. This is one of the Wrangler's most beloved features — the ability to open up the cabin to fresh Kansas air on a warm evening is something no traditional SUV or crossover can match.
The in-stock unit is equipped with the Uconnect 5 system featuring a 12.3-inch Touchscreen Display, along with Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hot Spot. The Alpine Premium Audio System rounds out the technology package with high-quality sound that performs well even with the roof panels removed.
The four-door configuration gives the Willys 41 genuine family practicality — real rear-seat space, proper rear doors, and cargo room behind the back seat for gear, luggage, and equipment. The Cloth Low-Back Bucket Seats and durable interior materials handle active family life well. For families in Junction City who need a vehicle that handles school runs during the week and outdoor adventures on weekends, the four-door Wrangler is a strong fit.

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4×4 is the strongest choice for Junction City families and military households who need a capable, style-forward midsize SUV with a strong value proposition. 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 4×4 Cost to Own in Junction City?
Rugged Style That Commands Streets and Flint Hills Trails
Power and Control for Everyday Drives and Weekend Getaways
Under the hood, the Altitude 4×4 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 4×4 |
|---|---|
| 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 4×4 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.

Roomy Cabin Comfort for Family Days at Local Lakes
Seamless Tech for Navigating Campus Roads and Open Prairie
Safety Built for Daily Drives and Outdoor Adventures
The 2024 Grand Cherokee Altitude 4×4 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.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for Jeep Owners
Jeep backs the 2024 Grand Cherokee Altitude 4×4 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.

Frequently Asked Questions from Jeep Shoppers
The Altitude 4×4 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 4×4 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 4×4 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.

The 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel 4×4 Crew Cab 5'7" is the right truck for active families and outdoor enthusiasts who want genuine off-road capability without giving up daily comfort. Starting at $59,300, it delivers 305 hp, 6,280 lbs of towing capacity, and a coil-spring 4×4 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.

How Much Can the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel 4×4 Crew Cab 5'7" Tow and Haul Around Junction City?
Bold Exterior Styling That Stands Out on Streets and Trails
Power and Performance Tailored for Towing and Local Roads
Spacious Interior Comfort Designed for Family Trips
Tech Features That Keep You Connected and In Control
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.

Warranty and Maintenance Plans That Support Active Lifestyles
Awards, Expert Reviews, and What Industry Leaders Say About the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel
Frequently Asked Questions from Buyers About the 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel
Yes. The Rebel 4×4 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 4×4 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 4×4 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.

The 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4 is the right choice for families who need genuine seven-passenger luxury, serious towing muscle, and all-weather confidence in a single vehicle. 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.

How Much Does the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4 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.

Exterior Design That Commands Attention
Power and Control for Flint Hills Roads and Riley County Trails with the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4
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.

Cabin Space and Luxury for Family Days and Outings
Connected Tech That Keeps Families in Sync
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.
Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4's Excellence
Frequently Asked Questions from Riley County Buyers About the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4
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.

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave is Jeep's first Desert Rated pickup, purpose-built for high-speed open terrain rather than slow-speed rock crawling. 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.

Exterior Styling and Rugged Design Features Tailored for Adventures
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
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.

Warranty Coverage, Maintenance, and Service Options for 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Owners

The basic vehicle warranty covers 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty — covering the Pentastar engine, transmission, and drivetrain components — extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles. Anti-corrosion protection runs 60 months, and roadside assistance is included for 60 months or 60,000 miles, meaning Jeep's manufacturer-backed roadside coverage travels with you on every trail run and long-distance haul.
| Coverage | Duration | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Basic vehicle | 36 months | 36,000 mi |
| Powertrain | 60 months | 60,000 mi |

Military families and local professionals with busy schedules can book a service appointment online at a time that works around their week, with transparent pricing and no surprises.
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.
