1989 Jeep Comanche Chief 4.0 I6 from North America
Summary:
The Comanche is a very well build 4x4 truck with above average off road ability and extremely reliab
Faults:
Seats were worn out and replaced
Both front u-joints needed replaced
The alternator needed replaced
The fuel tank was rusted and leaked so that was replaced
The rear brake line leaked and was replaced.
General Comments:
The Comanche has a small cab, but I guess all smaller trucks are about the same
The 4.0 engine in this truck even with over 190k has lots of power
The truck handles well and has good braking
The 4sp automatic works very smooth.
My Comanche is just awesome off road and is practically in stoppable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 89 Comanche pioneer also. At about 98000 miles (in October of 2005!) my clutch master cylinder also went out. To my knowledge this is the only thing to go wrong with this jeep. I was just wondering if a lot of people have had trouble with this particular part on this particular truck. And by the way I agre with everyone on this site about this truck being amazing. Jeep definitely needs to take another shot in the truck market; especially with companies like Honda jumping in.
