1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0 liter from North America
Summary:
Will never die!!!
Faults:
Headliner is falling down.
2 rubber vacuum hoses that control the 4wd system rotted away.$1 to fix.
Uses/leaks about 1 quart of oil every 3000 miles.
Heater will only blow through the defroster regardless of heater switch position.
General Comments:
The best truck I've ever owned.
With the 5 speed manual I usually average over 20mpg.
4.0 liter 6 cylinder has ample power for any situation. I enjoy watching kids in Honda's faces register shock in my rearview mirror.
4wd system has never left me stuck in the snow or hub deep mud.
I bought this Jeep for $500 with almost a quarter million miles on it, thinking I would be lucky to get through the winter with it. It now has close to 285,000 miles on it ans runs and drives as good as a new one.
I managed to find a Laredo that didn't have power windows or door locks, tilt wheel or cruise control. As a result, there's almost nothing left to break down.
A Jeep Cherokee is one of the best buys you can make if you want a smaller size 4x4.I'll be keeping this one for a while because it doesn't seem like its going to die anytime soon.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The ABS systems in the 1990-1991 model Cherokee's have been known for a while to be quirky. Working when they feel like it. It's a shame, these really are awesome Jeeps that will run forever with proper care!
