1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer 4.0 from North America
Summary:
Quality built truck for the money
Faults:
Cracked exhaust manifold at 105000 miles.
Had trouble with several hydraulic clutch reservoir seals leaking into floor board. Could be the brand was not from Jeep.
All other issues were from normal wear brakes, tires radiator, water pump, clutch, flywheel resurfaced, belt, and tune ups and plenty of oil changes every 3500 miles.
General Comments:
It has been a pleasure owning this truck, plenty of power and a smooth riding truck.
Easy to work on no problem getting parts good gas mileage.
With 337,300 miles motor has never been apart, my plans are to put another motor in it when this one quits.
A deer ran into the right side door 11-19-2006 damage $1630.00 they wanted to total the truck, but truck is in to good of shape adjuster said he would over ride the red flag, so it will be repaired and will paint the whole truck and keep on driving and pass it on to my grandsons.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Can't help commenting on the couch in your truck. Mine has the bench seat too. You're right, it is very comfortable. I don't know what material AMC used for the seat cover, but being porous, it's breathable and tough doesn't begin to describe the material. My truck wasn't babied, but the seat upholstery is as good as new even at 254,000 miles.
I've owned the AMC products. They outsourced many parts obviously using the best of everybody.
