Elk Grove Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram · Grand Wagoneer Research
Same engine, same cabin, same trims. The L adds a foot of length and a lot more room behind the third row. Here is every number that changes between the two, and how to tell which one fits your family and your garage.
| Grand Wagoneer | Grand Wagoneer L | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall length | 216.1 in | 228.1 in |
| Wheelbase | 123.0 in | 130.0 in |
| Body width | 83.6 in | 83.6 in |
| Width with mirrors | 94.0 in | 94.0 in |
| Height at roof rails | 79.8 in | 79.7 in |
| Height at antenna | 77.3 in | 77.3 in |
| Turning diameter | 40.2 ft | 42.2 ft |
| Cargo behind 3rd row | 27.9 cu ft | 42.6 cu ft |
| Fuel tank | 26.5 gal | 30.5 gal |
| Max towing (4x4, 3.92 axle) | 10,000 lb | 9,860 lb |
What doesn't change: the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six (420 hp, 468 lb-ft), the 8-speed automatic, the 4x4 systems, 7-seat standard and 8-seat optional layouts, and the estimated 1,300-lb payload. Jeep's spec sheet lists 70.8 cu ft behind the second row and 116.7 cu ft behind the first row as single figures and does not publish separate, larger numbers for the L, so we don't either.
Seven of the L's extra 12 inches go between the wheels, and the payoff is behind the third row: 42.6 cu ft versus 27.9 cu ft, or nearly 15 cu ft more with every seat in use. Jeep's own marketing quotes a slightly bigger gap; we use the spec sheet figures.
The regular Grand Wagoneer is just over 18 ft long; the L is 19 ft. Both are 94.0 in wide with the mirrors out and stand 79.8 in (regular) or 79.7 in (L) at the roof rails. Before you choose, measure:
Bring your measurements in and we can park both lengths side by side on our Elk Grove lot.
| Configuration (2026) | Grand Wagoneer | Grand Wagoneer L |
|---|---|---|
| 2WD, 3.55 axle | 6,210 lb | 5,960 lb |
| 4x4, 3.55 axle | 6,030 lb | 5,770 lb |
| 4x4, 3.92 axle (Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Pkg) | 10,000 lb | 9,860 lb |
The length makes only a small difference; the axle makes a big one. Both lengths need 4x4 and the 3.92 axle from the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package to reach the top ratings. That package also adds trailer brake control, sway control, trailer light monitoring and a Class IV hitch. Jeep lists 2027 towing at up to 10,000 lb but hasn't published a 2027 table by configuration. See our Grand Wagoneer towing guide for more.
| EPA mpg (city / hwy / combined) | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Wagoneer 2WD | 17 / 24 / 19 | 17 / 22 / 19 |
| Grand Wagoneer L 2WD | 17 / 24 / 19 | 17 / 22 / 19 |
| Grand Wagoneer 4x4 | 17 / 23 / 19 | 17 / 21 / 18 |
| Grand Wagoneer L 4x4 | 16 / 22 / 18 | 16 / 20 / 18 |
With 2WD, the two lengths are rated the same. With 4x4, the L gives up 1 mpg in the city and on the highway. For 2027, both 4x4 models land at 18 mpg combined.
| If you... | Consider |
|---|---|
| Carry six to eight people and their bags on most trips | Grand Wagoneer L |
| Use the third row now and then and fold it the rest of the time | Grand Wagoneer |
| Have a garage that is tight on depth | Grand Wagoneer |
| Tow near 10,000 lb | Grand Wagoneer 4x4 with the 3.92 axle, by a small margin |
| Take long road trips and want fewer fuel stops | Grand Wagoneer L |
Trim choice can steer you too. In 2026, the Upland package was offered on the regular length only. Most 2027 trims are offered in both lengths; ask us to confirm the length for the exact trim you want, and see our 2027 trim level guide.
12 in. The Grand Wagoneer L is 228.1 in long on a 130.0-in wheelbase, versus 216.1 in and 123.0 in for the regular Grand Wagoneer.
Behind the third row, the L has 42.6 cu ft versus 27.9 cu ft, nearly 15 cu ft more. Jeep's spec sheet doesn't list separate L figures behind the first and second rows.
Slightly. With 4x4 and the 3.92 axle, the L is rated at 9,860 lb versus 10,000 lb for the regular model. Without the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, the L is rated at 5,770 to 5,960 lb.
Only with 4x4. The 2027 L 4x4 is EPA-rated at 16 / 20 / 18 mpg versus 17 / 21 / 18 for the regular 4x4. With 2WD, both lengths are rated the same.
30.5 gal, versus 26.5 gal on the regular Grand Wagoneer.
The L is 228.1 in long, 94.0 in wide with mirrors and 79.7 in tall at the roof rails. Measure your garage depth with the door closed and the door opening height before you buy; the regular model is a foot shorter.
Jeep lists third-row legroom at 36.6 in and doesn't publish a different figure for the L. The difference is the cargo area behind the third row.
