Inspired by earlier Jeep models, such as its station wagon and utility wagon, the Wagoneer was introduced in 1962. The Wagoneer went through numerous changes over the coming decades, and new editions, such as the Cherokee, were introduced. AMC bought Kaiser-Jeep in 1970 and owned it until 1986 but made few major changes to the Wagoneer line during this period. The Grand Wagoneer was introduced to the line in 1984.
Physical Appearance and Chassis
In 1984, Jeep began using the smaller Cherokee frame for the Wagoneer but kept the old Wagoneer body. This meant that the Grand Wagoneer had a different grille but basically the same body and chassis that the Wagoneer had been using since 1963. This new version of the Wagoneer was also smaller.
Engines and Fuel Economy
The 1984 Grand Wagoneer was available with either a 258-cubic inch, 4.2-liter V6 with an overhead valve (OHV) configuration or a 360-cubic inch, 5.9-liter V8 with an OHV configuration, both with two-barrel carburetors and automatic transmissions. The V6 has a bore and stroke of 3.75 inches by 3.9 inches and a compression ratio of 8.0:1, with a maximum horsepower of 110 at 3,500 RPM and a maximum torque of 195 ft.-lbs. at 2,000 RPM. The V8 has a bore and stroke of 4.08 inches by 3.44 inches and a compression ratio of 8.25:1, with a maximum horsepower ranging between 175 and 195 at 4,000 RPM and a maximum torque between 285 and 295 ft.-lbs. at 2,900 RPM. The V6 has an EPA-estimated mileage rating of 18 miles per gallon in the city and 23 MPG on the highway. The V8 is significantly less fuel efficient, with a rating of 13 MPG in the city and 18 on the highway.
Standard Features
Standard features for the 1984 Grand Wagoneer include an AM/FM stereo, center armrest, roof rack, bright-drip rail overlay, aluminum wheels, a retractable cargo cover, power windows and locks, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, electric windows, bumper guards and a rear-window defogger.
