From the GTA Driveway to the Lake Bernard Dock: Why the Grand Wagoneer is the Definitive Luxury Towing Machine

When your weekend escape involves hauling a substantial boat from southern Ontario to the pristine waters of Lake Bernard, you need a vehicle that delivers uncompromising luxury alongside serious towing capability. The 2025 Grand Wagoneer stands alone as the only SUV that truly masters both roles—offering best-in-class 9,850-pound towing capacity while surrounding you and your passengers in premium comfort for the journey north.

This isn't about choosing between capability and luxury. The Grand Wagoneer eliminates that compromise entirely. With its 540-horsepower Hurricane Twin Turbo engine, advanced Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system, and meticulously crafted interior featuring up to 75 inches of screens, it's engineered for families who refuse to settle when it comes to their weekend adventures in Ontario's cottage country.

Grand Wagoneer Lineup: Premium Performance Across Three Models

Superior Towing Performance

The Grand Wagoneer's 9,850-pound towing capacity isn't just a number—it's the foundation for worry-free adventures with your largest watercraft. The standard 540-horsepower Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6 engine delivers 521 lb-ft of torque specifically tuned for towing performance, while the advanced TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed transmission seamlessly manages power delivery under load.

Whether you're pulling a deep-hull fishing boat or a luxury pontoon, the Grand Wagoneer maintains composed highway cruising from Toronto all the way to Sundridge. The sophisticated powertrain anticipates towing demands, downshifting smoothly on Highway 11's rolling hills while maintaining fuel efficiency that outperforms comparable V-8 engines by up to 15 percent.

• Best-in-class 9,850 lb towing capacity handles the largest recreational boats
• 540 hp Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6 provides 15% better efficiency than V-8 competitors
• Advanced transmission programming optimizes performance specifically for heavy loads
• Integrated trailer brake controller ensures confident stopping with large trailers

Quadra-Drive II 4x4 System: Unmatched Launch Ramp Confidence

Backing a heavy boat trailer down a slippery launch ramp requires absolute traction control—exactly what the Grand Wagoneer's Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system provides. This advanced system features a two-speed transfer case with active low range and rear electronic limited-slip differential, delivering a remarkable 48:1 crawl ratio for precise low-speed maneuvering.

The system automatically transfers torque to whichever wheel has the most grip, whether you're navigating a steep, algae-covered ramp or pulling out with a water-soaked trailer. Combined with Selec-Terrain traction management, the Grand Wagoneer adapts to any launch condition Ontario's lakes can present.

Quadra-Lift Air Suspension: Capability Meets Comfort

The five-mode Quadra-Lift air suspension system transforms the Grand Wagoneer's capability based on your needs. For highway cruising to cottage country, it lowers the vehicle for improved aerodynamics and fuel economy. At the boat launch, it raises to provide up to 10 inches of ground clearance and the precise approach angles needed for trailer maneuvering.

This isn't just about functionality—it's about maintaining passenger comfort throughout your journey. The electronically controlled suspension automatically adjusts damping based on road conditions, ensuring your passengers arrive refreshed whether you're navigating city traffic or cottage country's seasonal roads.

• Five suspension height settings adapt to any driving situation
• Up to 10 inches of ground clearance for challenging terrain
• 24-inch water fording capability handles flooded launch areas
• Electronic semi-active damping maintains comfort across all surfaces

Interior Luxury That Defines the Journey

The Grand Wagoneer's interior elevates every mile of your Ontario adventures. Standard captain's chairs in the second row provide individual comfort zones, while the available McIntosh 1,375-watt audio system with 23 speakers transforms your vehicle into a mobile entertainment sanctuary.

Up to 75 inches of available screen space means passengers can enjoy Amazon Fire TV content during the drive, while the 12-inch reconfigurable center touchscreen handles navigation, climate, and towing functions with split-screen capability. The standard 10.25-inch passenger screen allows your co-pilot to manage navigation or entertainment without interrupting the driver.
