Positive Review
own a 1992 Jeep Cherokee with 176k on the odometer. Routine maintenance..for it being 20 years old had to replace the following within this year: radiator, water pump, oil pan gasket, overhaul brake system, drive belt..runs strong, reliable..however, gas mileage is limited to 21 mpg on hwy going 55-60 mph..follow maintenance schedule and you will have a car for a very long time..i know of people who have way more miles that I have..so reliability speaks for itself..you cannot go wrong with the inline 6 engine..love this jeep.
Critical Review
I owned two of these a 95 and 96 which are the best years for the Cherokee. Before was too many cooling/engine issues and after too much weight and watered down performance. Great strong engine and responsive but suspension made for off road. Interior is wannabe but functional. This is a tough rig but really made to be upgraded for some offroad rather than a cruiser in town.

Have had my 94 cherokee since 2004. It has 327,000 miles on her. Maybe another 327,000 miles? Been a great vehicle. Keep up the maintenance on it. It'll treat you right..
The week after I ordered my '94 Cherokee Sport 4-door Jeep and other brands under the parent company announced a new 7yr 70Kmi Power-Tran warranty. Had heard nothing but praise for the 4.0L which proved to be true & why I had 4 of them, each with over 150Kmi, just getting broken in. Had same person purchase each of my Jeep Cherokee's.
will go almost anywhere, easy to work on
high mileage, leaks and rust
rust over exhaust, bad suspension, motor is really reliable and so is the transmission, body rust and mileage
Reasons to love it: 1) You can go pretty much anywhere unlike most modern SUVs. Drove up an icy hill where AWD modern crossovers were unable to go up with just 4HI and all-season tires. Use it as my vehicle to the ski mountains 2) Surprisingly nimble for a vehicle with solid axles and rear leaf springs. Handles and grips better than my 2019 4Runner but it still feels like a truck. But I personally enjoy the old truck feeling 2) I think it's one of the most good-looking SUVs to have been built 3) Love the simplistic interior 4) It's a pretty small vehicle. It's shorter in length than a 2022 honda civic. It's easy to find a parallel parking spot 5) Great platform for offroading 6) The XJ is famous for being reliable as long as it's been maintained. I haven't had any issues with it after replacing maintenance items (gaskets, seals, fluids, u-joints, brakes, bushings, shocks, ball joints) 7) Great visibility 8) The 4.0L has 190 hp and 235 ft-lb which isn't a lot but a stock XJ will typically weigh around 3100 lbs so the XJ gets moving pretty easily Things that are not so great: 1) Terrible gas mileage if you have the 4.0L Incline 6. Expect to range from 13-20 miles per gallon depending on how you drive. It's obvious the XJ isn't aerodynamic. When you let off the gas, you can feel the drag physically slowing down the car. 2) Although the steering is quite direct when cornering when you're going in a straight line the steering wheel has quite a bit of dead play. This is because it uses a steering box and not a steering rack. 3) Things to watch out for: a) Although the 4.0L is reliable, they like to leak oil, typically the oil filter adapter and rear main seal on these vehicles will be leaking and if you're not handy, it'll be expensive. b) The cooling system will keep the Engine at 210F in 110F weather while in traffic on the condition the cooling system is maintained. If it's not maintained, the engines can overheat in slow traffic with weather as cold as 60F c) Rust is commonly found on these cars. It's hard to find one without rust on the wheel wells, floors, or trunk floor. If there's a lot of rust on the frame rails, it's not worth fixing. d) if the front suspension has not been maintained, it's possible to experience death wobble while driving at speeds higher than 45 mph. It happens in any front solid axle vehicle with a non-maintained front suspension. I've never personally experienced it and I drive consistently at speeds of 85 mph but my XJ is well-kept. 4) Rear legroom could be better but I've managed to fit my 6'7" friend in the rear
Rugged, reliable, strong drivetrain and powertran
Needed additional gear or 2.

Toughest, most versatile, most loyal-hardcore following, customizable as heck. MPG is not a disappointment. WON’T QUIT! My Jeep is a rebel and has saved my butt more than once.
