Per-month can dip as the horizon lengthens - a major service lands in one year and then averages out across all the months after it. The left column is what you actually spend.
Beyond the schedule, the first big-ticket item this Grand Wagoneer L is known for is Electrical / infotainment module faults from about 0 miles ($300-$3,000). It is a range, not a certainty - but it is the number to have in your head at the dealership.
Operator notes
Long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer, 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane HO. Timing CHAIN. Oil 10k synthetic / 5k severe. Same watch-items as Grand Wagoneer, amplified by added length/weight on suspension and brakes.
When the smart money sells
Keeping it yourself, there is no cutoff - the table above runs to fifteen years. On fleet math, where a car has to keep earning, a gas Grand Wagoneer L retires around 95,000 miles - but the exit window opens earlier here: inside the Electrical / infotainment module faults risk window ($300-$3,000). Carlyle's garage tracks this per car, against your actual odometer.
Cost ranges are typical US independent-shop estimates and vary by region and condition. Modeling, not mechanic advice - always confirm against your car's service records.
