Yes, 9!! I keep up on my engine maintenance and everything! I could have miscalculated it though. I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes but I have a bass system that weighs about 120-130 pounds.
The funny thing is the average highway MPG of the Jeep Cherokee 4.0L in 1992 was 21mpg. Does anyone else find it funny that this is the standard for any V6 today? AMC was way ahead of the curve when they designed this engine, and Chrysler was one step ahead when they bought them out.
Well thats true, but the reason Chrysler dropped this engine for thier V6's early on was because the Inline 6 put off a ton of carbon emissions and couldnt meet the new standards in the united states. That and it was pretty much maxed out as a factory engine for HP and torque in the WJ's.
Its the same thing for the Magnum engines, the 5.2 and 5.9, the new Hemi engine's dont get any better gas mileage, but they do put off a lot less carbon emissions
I have a 1996 Cherokee Sport 2 Door It is the best vehicle I have ever owned! I will never sell it. I give the Jeep Cherokee with the four liter engine 10 Stars!!!
lived in the mid-east and very hot! toy's are ok not the safest rig eather!! land rovers over priced and over-heat!! just the good ol Jeep-Cherokee that keep's on going and going...even with the air-con on all the time!!! very reliable and cheap to own.
@saymikehawkfast. What the hell are you talking about, The Jeep Cherokee Has Been Proven to Reach 400 thousand Milles. Jeep Cherokees Are Very Reliable Just like Every Other Jeep.
Having a Cherokee in Hokkaido RHD is one of the best suv 4x4 we have own. With high KMH and Japan's strict tag law's this thing strong and going clean... very good American truck one of the best thing's from the USA...buy far !,....well built like "camp" Jeeps...lol..luv it
@SunsetSupermanRMB What's your point? We use miles and gallons in the UK, we're not like the rest of Europe. Only think I can see wrong is that I can't get 20 MPG in mine, it's more like 13 MPG :-)
it is so weird seeing the steering wheel on the other side and that interior is the same as mine way weird..lol..but it is an awesome vehicle!!! i love my jeep cherokee
When I visited England a few years ago, I saw some Jeep Cherokees driving around Plymouth. I didn't get a close up view of the jeep, but I know a Jeep Cherokee when I see one, having seen plenty at home in the USA. At first, I thought "now that's weird. I've never seen a Jeep in the UK before, let alone a Right-Hand Drive one." Perhaps the next time I'm able to visit England, I'll be able to take a closer look.
The actuals go back to the 40's Cherokees on the other hand like the 70's then in like 85 86 made this style cherokee. I have me a white one. and idk what you're talking about breaking down. Maintenance goes a long long way.
jeeps never break down?? yea he has never owned a jeep, my jeep has broken down on me many many times. everyone i know that has a jeep has trouble with it. but i love jeeps so i fix it n go on... its a jeep thing...haha
I've always loved the Jeep Cherokee, I've never seen a Right-Hand Drive Jeep Cherokee. I love its looks. I'd prefer to have a Jeep Cherokee than either a Land Rover or a Toyota 4 Runner (Hilux Surf). I love its 4 litre engine. I'd put a diesel engine under the hood, though for better fuel economy.
@Seattlecarnut My dad got one, 4.0 Limited If you'd like to see Cherokee XJ in RHD, there are many XJs in Thai.
My dad and I took XJ out in the wild with just all stock, never winched if unnecessary. It never breakdown if you take care of it properly. Currently it clocked 300k Kilometres.
Being an American, it was pretty funny watching this. I'm not dissing on anyone, it was just comical seeing a Brit actually liking something American.
@nasonguy I can see exactly what youre saying. Not trying to be disrespectful, its just something I think only an American would understand ya know? haha
It's all good man, I didn't take it as disrespect, and I didn't mean any with my comment. It just seems theres always this friendly (sometimes, not so friendly) rivalry between Americans and Brits, so I found it comical to see a British guy praising an American vehicle so much. They guys on Top Gear would never do that, haha.
@nasonguy lol mate, i am a brit i love/adore american girls esp their teeth when they apply them gently around something. yankee chicks rock. you might of beat us in revolutionary wars, but we still pilfer your women lol. on another note i have a jeep very well made car not as good as landrover disco offroad, but better made and nicer to drive. wish we had your gas prices though.
My jeep has outlived 3 of my 4 cars, I like it. I would have got a Disco, but they're so expensive, and I don't think it'll get 35mpg on the highway. My 4.0liter jeep will though, and it only cost me $2k.
I don't care about gas prices, I drive a motorcycle (dual sport) every day, I get 60mpg all day long.
@nasonguy well everywhere around the world....people with level minds like anything that works, and just so happens the Cherokee for whatever reason works!
Jeep was only built really good when AMC owned the name.. The cherokee's early wranglers, and the last of the line ZJ Grand Cherokee's were the only ones built really well... Once Chrysler bought them out and started making them in 99 the quality went down a lot.
I used to also own a couple Saturns, they were the same way, good thoroughbred vehicles with well thought out, hollistic designes. That is, until GM stuck their nose in stuff and started mucking things up. I love my '98 Jeep Cherokee, and my '97 Saturn SC2. Good American vehicles.
Yea of course Chysler bought Jeep when AMC was getting ready to make the ZJ in 92. So tech the ZJ's are chrysler vehicles, but they were made from AMC materials and designs thats why they were so good. The 99 and up tho is all Chrysler and i hear nothing but expensive repairs on those vehicles.
Same with the Saturn thing, the last 10 or so years Saturn has been really crappy, known for problems its one reason IMO they got rid of it not just because of the econemy
these are the original suv jeep 4x4er's and the best! had one for 5years in saudi arabia put 200K miles on it in the saudi heat! with no problem, a/c every thing worked! fine rig, then hav 2001 in uk, and again no prob, with now 250K miles just tires brakes and fluids, best 4x4 by far!!
My 93 Cherokee country has 285,000K and runs like a top... I keep it in immaculate condition and the thing looks brand new... Very happy with this vehicle.. That guy in the video must be awful smart ;)
my grand dad still has an 1988. Still runs fine with way over 100k on it.. His is a base model though, no leather or fancy things. Plastic seats and no wood plastic on the dash board.
Sounds like, mine, except I have a Sport. Love the 4.0L Engine, Only thing that went wrong with it was the door hinge broke off, but $12.50 later it was welded back on.
It's funny you say that but guess what? I got good news for you my friend. Well, I don't think it's much help anyways but cherokees with manual transmissions have a shift indicator light to let you know when to shift. It's located in the "info. Panel" next to the gauges. It's an arrow pointing up.
yeah, i saw the shift indicator, but mine is completely out of whack and blinks on and off even when I just shifted and all the way through the gear -.-
I got my license a few months ago. My parents have pretty much given me their '96 4.0 Liter in line 6 Cherokee Sport. They don't like it. I love the thing, although I still like to drive my dad's 5 speed miata na when I can.
I'v got the 1996 country edition 4.0 litre in line 6 engine with over 400,000 km on it and it runs like a champ just gotta do more exhaust work this year cause the manifold has a hole where its leaking
Im going to be buying a 99 Cherokee Sport, the only problem i can fin with it is the fact that i have to push the brake pedle close to 3/4th of the way down to get any response from the brakes, would anyone know any problems that might be causing this? and its got new brakes and has been bleed twice
Thanks but the problem was sorted out, its now in my drive way lol ive got it as my background for my channel, its sunburst orange, i really love the thing, they should bring it back in all honesty
i have a jeep exactly like this one 1991 4.0 litre just comming up to 300,000 k. doors are a bit rusted and needs suspension in the back but a great vehicle and the 4wheel drive works awsome.i little bit to fix then its off the bush...woo hoo
well seeing as how everyones leaving thier signature so to speak by saying what they have... i got a 94 cherokee 4.0 with 182,000K and still runs strong. everything on it works exept AC (it's either the condenser or leaking somewhere else... I blame it on my dad>:I ) and the driver's side front fork broke(again... my father) and before i got my hands on it he used 10W-40 on it, not good. now i'm just using high milege 10W-30 with engine restore(highly recomemded) KandN oil filter
I got a 98 Cherokee almost identical to this one but with more updated interior. It's an awesome tool. It's fast, has really good on road driving manners, is exceptional offroad, the engine is super smooth and has bags of torque, transmission is equally as smooth. Very good spec, full leather and elec pack. It's an absolute joy to drive and the 4wd has got me out of the sh*t a few times this winter. The best 4x4xfar!
Jeep Cherokee is awesome alright. I got my mom's old one, just broke 350,000 miles on it. I swapped the engine because it had low compression, but it still ran fine.
91 cherokee limited around 230,000 km. Runs great and i love it, Only things ive had to replace in the time i owned it are the tires and the transfer case seals(tires where like 8 year old wal-mart brands). 31/10.5/15 kumho's on it now. And ya the gas millage kind of sucks...
my dad had a 01 cherokee 4.0 with 27k miles on it and i know its no ferrari but has more power than we expected now it has 120k and nothing has gone wrong all that has been replaced is oil and tires it has never broken down and drives like new basicly
I had a 2000 black Cherokee sport. It looked way different than that, and the inside was much, much nicer. I loved my Jeep so much. The horsepower and torque sucked you into the seat and the 4x4 was amazing. I went to work one day and snow was touching the bottom of the undercarriage and I did not have one problem!!!
i own two a 93 that i have like 200k on and my 01 *last year made* with almost 90k my 93 is worn out beet up and is every year from 84-96 miss matched parts and been wrecked 3 time but still runs drives and has new tires my 01 is stock from the factory and is great both 4 door white, 2x4 and have the same option on each. i love my jeeps even the same style of wheels.... i love my jeeps
I can argue with that point. My Comanche has the same engine and transmission as this Cherokee, mine has 245,000 miles on it and still runs like a brand new truck. My Cherokee has 179,000 miles on her and still goes strong.
I have the same 4.0 I-6 engine..But mine's in an 04' Grand Cherokee(actually 5 more hp). I hope I can expect the same longevity that the Cherokee's had.
Nice to see a presenter on Top Gear not arrogantly bash an American-made car for once. And the fact that it is the Cherokee (My car of choice) this guy is giving positive marks to makes this clip only better.
Have a 1987 Pioneer Cherokee with the D44 in the rear with 128K on it 5 speed 4x4 and it has been beaten the CRAP out of and still put about $450 into it completely and it is ready for almost anything :) Ready for another 200k miles or more!
I just got a 2000 cherokee sport with 100,000 miles. My 1st car to learn with. Had it for about 6 months and had only a little bit of trouble with an anti freeze leak. Now im good and have no other trouble. Im told that these motors with giv me an easy 250,000 thousand miles. I figured drive it till it dies. then get myself an 06 wrangler cuz i hate the the 07's and up.
My DAD'S has 172,000 miles on his Cherokee Sport just last week. It was only in the shop twice and that was for the accident and when very large bird broke the windshild.
I have a 97 sport 4.0 fucking badass truck, thing blows little civics away on the street with that engine, can offroad the hell out of it, fucking thing is all steel no stupid plastic bumpers with foam in them, and the thing lasts, i have 140000 miles on this bitch and its finally getting a little screwy with the tranny but thats an easy fixing for a mechanic
The jeep is the european model. i realize it is not the spec of the 97 cherokee however they had only begun importing the cherokees to europe a few years before this episode of topgear was recorded which was in 1997. and im sorry i dont know the name of the song. However i love jeeps.
I love it!!. my dad use to have a 87 jeep cherokee pioneer. I personally love the steering wheel and the dash board. of the 1984-1996 models. I want one of the Cherokee Briarwoods mmm fake wood paneling lol
first of all that is not a 97 jeep cherokee, in 97 they made major reformations.. such as changing the interior and rear driveshaft as well as the exterior body, that looks to ba about a 91-93. it has the same interior as my 91, which i have 31" tires on a 3" lift, and i only managed to get it stuck once so far (on purpose) they are the most durable mid sized SUV you can buy.
hey how does a 1992 jeep laredo with 130k (mint) for 600 bucks sound, cause thats my first car, and my moms bf has connections with dealers so yea... its origonally in that condition worth $ 3,000 $ and im getting it for $2,400 cheaper. :)
XJ Cherokee has been around since 1984 - 2001. The design is so good that it is currently being produced in China almost unaltered except for some cosmetics on the front. I just bought myself a 98 XJ - the possibilities are endless.

I got my license a few months ago. My parents have pretty much given me their '96 4.0 Liter in line 6 Cherokee Sport. They don't like it. I love the thing, although I still like to drive my dad's 5 speed miata na when I can.

Im going to be buying a 99 Cherokee Sport, the only problem i can fin with it is the fact that i have to push the brake pedle close to 3/4th of the way down to get any response from the brakes, would anyone know any problems that might be causing this? and its got new brakes and has been bleed twice
Charger3091 2 years ago
That's just the brakes, you will probably need new pads, I would get new rotors as well. It sounds like they are worn.

i have a jeep exactly like this one 1991 4.0 litre just comming up to 300,000 k. doors are a bit rusted and needs suspension in the back but a great vehicle and the 4wheel drive works awsome.i little bit to fix then its off the bush...woo hoo
baldguy100 2 years ago
well seeing as how everyones leaving thier signature so to speak by saying what they have... i got a 94 cherokee 4.0 with 182,000K and still runs strong. everything on it works exept AC (it's either the condenser or leaking somewhere else... I blame it on my dad>:I ) and the driver's side front fork broke(again... my father) and before i got my hands on it he used 10W-40 on it, not good. now i'm just using high milege 10W-30 with engine restore(highly recomemded) KandN oil filter

I got a 98 Cherokee almost identical to this one but with more updated interior. It's an awesome tool. It's fast, has really good on road driving manners, is exceptional offroad, the engine is super smooth and has bags of torque, transmission is equally as smooth. Very good spec, full leather and elec pack. It's an absolute joy to drive and the 4wd has got me out of the sh*t a few times this winter. The best 4x4xfar!

Jeep Cherokee is awesome alright. I got my mom's old one, just broke 350,000 miles on it. I swapped the engine because it had low compression, but it still ran fine.

I had a 2000 black Cherokee sport. It looked way different than that, and the inside was much, much nicer. I loved my Jeep so much. The horsepower and torque sucked you into the seat and the 4x4 was amazing. I went to work one day and snow was touching the bottom of the undercarriage and I did not have one problem!!!

I can argue with that point. My Comanche has the same engine and transmission as this Cherokee, mine has 245,000 miles on it and still runs like a brand new truck. My Cherokee has 179,000 miles on her and still goes strong.

I just got a 2000 cherokee sport with 100,000 miles. My 1st car to learn with. Had it for about 6 months and had only a little bit of trouble with an anti freeze leak. Now im good and have no other trouble. Im told that these motors with giv me an easy 250,000 thousand miles. I figured drive it till it dies. then get myself an 06 wrangler cuz i hate the the 07's and up.

first of all that is not a 97 jeep cherokee, in 97 they made major reformations.. such as changing the interior and rear driveshaft as well as the exterior body, that looks to ba about a 91-93. it has the same interior as my 91, which i have 31" tires on a 3" lift, and i only managed to get it stuck once so far (on purpose) they are the most durable mid sized SUV you can buy.
