Losing the stick in the base S trim won't make us weep, we suspect no one was buying it, anyway. We're just glad the GLI gets to keep it. The other big news is that the price tag for a base S is now $21,995 before destination and delivery fees. That's cheaper than an automatic S is now, and cheaper than a stick-shift 2024 S after D and D.

The history of the Jeep Wagoneer is a little strange. Since it first hit the market for the 1963 model year, it has gone through a lot of evolution. For six decades, Jeep has utilized that name to mean different things, shifting between being its own model of SUV and being a high-level trim for a different SUV like the Grand Cherokee. The company firmly reestablished the Wagoneer as its own vehicle once again for the 2022 model year, and with the electric Wagoneer S reportedly on the way in the fall of 2024, it seems like Jeep has finally committed to this SUV after it being just a branding tactic at certain points in its history.

The Tesla Cybertruck drives really well for a pickup, holding its line nicely through corners, which it takes with remarkable ease and agility for something as heavy and tall as it is.
