When a Kingston family outgrows a midsize SUV, the next question is usually whether a full-size three-row SUV is worth it, and a used Jeep Wagoneer comes up quickly.


At Jim Thompson Chrysler on Gardiners Road, we are a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealership, so the Wagoneer is one of our own. Stock changes week to week, so this guide does not promise one on the lot; it helps you decide whether a used Wagoneer fits your family and how to buy one well.


It covers the model years, the versions, what to check, and how trade-ins and financing work here, O.A.C.


Key Takeaways


  • A used Jeep Wagoneer is a full-size SUV with a standard third row, and Stellantis Canada lists available seating for up to eight passengers on all 2023 trims.


  • Used Wagoneers come from the 2022 to 2025 model years, and the engine changed along the way, so confirm which one the vehicle carries before you compare two listings.


  • Check the history report, open recalls by VIN, service records, the 4x4 system, and any remaining manufacturer coverage before you sign.


  • You can trade in a vehicle you still owe money on: we request the payout, appraise the vehicle in writing, and put both on one page.


  • Financing is available on new and pre-owned vehicles, O.A.C., and a quick online application gets it started.


Is a Used Jeep Wagoneer in Kingston the Right Full-Size SUV for Your Family?


For a household that fills every seat most weeks, a used Jeep Wagoneer is worth a serious look.


It is a full-size SUV with a standard third row, and Stellantis Canada's 2023 Wagoneer press kit lists available seating for up to eight passengers on all trims.


That makes it a fit for families who use the third row every week, not only for the odd drive home from the rink.


It also suits households that pull a trailer or a boat up to the cottage north of the city, and because the tow rating depends on the exact configuration, ask us to confirm it for the vehicle you choose.


Many buyers come to it after a few years in a smaller three-row SUV, once the kids, the hockey bags, and the dog all need room at the same time.


In a Kingston winter that room earns its keep, with boots, skates, and a stroller riding along on the same trip.


If full-size is more than your family needs, our guide to the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Kingston covers a Jeep many families choose, and our Dodge Durango three-row family SUV guide covers another three-row option we sell.


If you typed used Jeep Wagoneer Kingston into the search bar, start with the model year, because it tells you the most about the vehicle in front of you.

Which Wagoneer Model Years Show Up on the Used Market?


Used Wagoneers come from the 2022 to 2025 model years, and both the name and the engine changed over that time.


Stellantis Canada introduced the 2022 Wagoneer as a premium extension of the Jeep brand, under its own Wagoneer name. Its 2025 fact sheet calls the vehicle the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer, so a used one may be listed either way.


For 2026, Stellantis Canada says the Jeep Grand Wagoneer absorbs the previously available Wagoneer models, and the electric Wagoneer S is a separate model, so this guide stays with the Wagoneer.


2022 Wagoneer


Stellantis Canada's 2022 press kit lists the Wagoneer in Series I, Series II, and Series III trims, with Series I marked as late availability.


The same press kit rates the 2022 Wagoneer's 5.7-litre V-8 at 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque.


2023 Wagoneer and Wagoneer L


For 2023, Stellantis Canada lists the Wagoneer, Wagoneer Series II, and Wagoneer Series III, and the engine depends on the trim.


Its 2023 press kit rates the Wagoneer's 5.7-litre V-8 at 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque, and the Hurricane Twin Turbo six-cylinder in the Series II and Series III at 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque.


Stellantis Canada also introduced an extended Wagoneer L for 2023, and rates its Hurricane Twin Turbo engine at 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque.


The L is the one to look at if the cargo area behind the third row matters as much as the seats.


2024 and 2025 Jeep Wagoneer


Stellantis Canada's 2025 fact sheet lists the Hurricane Twin Turbo six-cylinder as standard on the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer, at 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque.


A 2024 sits between those years, so confirm its engine from the vehicle details or the VIN before you compare it with another listing.


Which Version of the Wagoneer Should You Look For?


Start with the equipment your family will use every day, then look at the trim name.


Stellantis Canada names the versions Wagoneer, Series II, and Series III, with Series I used on early 2022 models, and each step up adds equipment.


Its 2023 press kit also lists a Carbide package with black exterior accents, available only on the Series II.


Equipment varies within a trim, so read the window sticker or the build details for the exact vehicle rather than going by the name on the tailgate.


Three questions sort most families quickly:


  • Do you need the longer Wagoneer L for cargo, or does the regular length suit your garage and your driveway?


  • Which 4x4 system does the vehicle have? Stellantis Canada's 2023 press kit lists Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II.


  • How is the second row set up, and do your car seats fit where you need them?

When you are ready to look, browse our pre-owned SUVs to see what is on the lot, since stock changes.

What Should You Check Before Buying a Used Jeep Wagoneer in Kingston?


Check the history, the recalls, the records, and the exact engine and 4x4 system, in that order.


Here is the list we suggest for any used Wagoneer:


  • The vehicle history report, for past accidents, registration history, and where the vehicle has lived.


  • Open recalls, which you can look up by VIN in Transport Canada's recall database, or ask our service department to check.


  • Service records, especially oil changes and any work on the engine, transmission, and 4x4 system.


  • The engine, confirmed from the vehicle details or the VIN, since it changed by model year and trim.


  • The tires and brakes, and whether a set of winter tires comes with the vehicle.


  • The hitch and wiring, if you plan to tow to the cottage or the boat launch.


  • Any remaining manufacturer coverage, which a Jeep dealer can confirm for that VIN.


In Ontario, a registered dealer has to disclose certain facts about a used vehicle's history in writing, so read that part of the bill of sale before you sign.


We go through the history report and the paperwork with you, and a test drive on Highway 401 and a few city streets tells you the rest.


Once it is yours, our factory-trained service team and Mopar parts look after it under the same roof, and you can read about our Signature Service program before your first visit.

Can You Trade In Your Current Vehicle Toward a Used Jeep Wagoneer in Kingston?


Yes, and it works the same whether your vehicle is paid off or you still owe money on it.


We appraise the vehicle and put the value in writing, based on its condition, kilometers, history, and what the same vehicle sells for in Eastern Ontario right now.


See what your current vehicle is worth online first, so you arrive with a starting point.


Bring the ownership, every key and fob, any service records you have, and your lender's account details if there is a loan.


If there is a loan, with your permission we request the exact payout from your lender and show it beside the appraisal on one page.


When the payout is higher than the appraisal, the difference can sometimes be carried within the new financing, O.A.C., or covered with money down.


Sometimes the better answer is to wait a few months, and we will say so.


We also buy vehicles outright, so you can get an appraisal even if you decide not to buy.

Financing a Used Jeep Wagoneer in Kingston


Financing is available on pre-owned vehicles at Jim Thompson Chrysler, a pre-owned Jeep Wagoneer included, O.A.C.


Approval depends on your application, income, credit, the vehicle, and lender requirements, so we do not promise an outcome before we have seen the file.


Our finance office works with a range of lenders, O.A.C., and explains each option in plain language.


Lenders look at a used vehicle's age and kilometers as part of the application, so ask us how that applies to the Wagoneer you pick.


Pre-approval is available, O.A.C., and it does not commit you to a vehicle. A joint application with a spouse or partner is common and treated as normal.


Bring your driver's licence and a recent pay stub when you come in, and we can finish the application with you at the desk.


Start with our quick online credit application and your file will be moving before you visit, O.A.C.


If you would rather buy new, financing is available on new Jeep vehicles too, O.A.C., and our new vehicle inventory shows what is in stock today.

Why Buy a Used Jeep at Jim Thompson Chrysler Kingston?


Because the Wagoneer is a Jeep and we are a local Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealership on Gardiners Road, the people who sell it and the people who service it work under one roof.


What we do:


  • Put the appraisal, any payout, and the finance options on one page, in plain language.


  • Go through the history report and the paperwork on the vehicle with you before you sign.


  • Check a used Jeep's open recalls and remaining manufacturer coverage by VIN.


  • Take trades of any make, paid off or not.


  • Walk you through the third-row seats, the 4x4 controls, and the cargo area in our lot before you drive away.


  • Offer financing on new and pre-owned vehicles, O.A.C., starting with a quick online application.


Stock changes daily, so call the sales line before you come and we will tell you what is on the lot.

How many people does a used Jeep Wagoneer seat?


Stellantis Canada's 2023 Wagoneer press kit lists a standard third row with available seating for up to eight passengers on all trims.

How do I check recalls on a used Wagoneer?
