The refreshed 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer just debuted earlier this week, giving the redesigned-for-2025 Ford Expedition another updated rival to contend with. Along with revised exterior styling and the fact that Stellantis opted to ditch the Wagoneer as part of this mid-cycle action, the newest Grand Wagoneer will soon gain an extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain option, too. However, Stellantis seems to be working on another full-size SUV that could also rival the Expedition at some point in the future.
Recently, Stellantis provided us with some details pertaining to is massive planned investments in the company’s U.S. business, at which point the automaker noted that it plans to develop an all-new large SUV with both extended-range EV and ICE engine options. That model will be built at the Warren Truck Assembly plant alongside the Grand Wagoneer starting in 2028, following a $100 million dollar investment in that facility that will also add around 900 new jobs.
As for what this new large SUV might be, it’s possible that Stellantis simply plans on rebadging the Grand Wagoneer, perhaps as a new, more mainstream Dodge variant of that more luxurious model. However, given the fact that the 2026 Grand Wagoneer is priced more closely to the Expedition with a starting price tag of $64,740, it’s also possible that Stellantis may want to create a more luxurious variant set to compete with the Lincoln Navigator, too.
In any event, the Ford Expedition is reportedly in line to get its next update in 2028 in the form of a mid-cycle refresh, too. The large SUV is expected to get some sort of hybrid powertrain option by that point, which has been rumored for years now. It could be an EREV of its own, based on recent comments from CEO Jim Farley himself, who has revealed that the company plans to offer that sort of powertrain in its larger trucks and family-hauling SUVs.
The faulty units may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing a short circuit.
A very cool sort of one-off build.
A quirky car for a quirky race.
