Jeep has always made some solid off-road vehicles. Probably some of the best. The Cherokee, while it may not be the most popular, is still one of the better vehicles that Jeep made.

The 4.0 HO straight six puts out excellent torque and power and can pull the Cherokee through just about anything.

Build quality can be questionable when considering how vulnerable the floors are to rust. Cherokees are notorious for rotted floors and the unibody construction does not help to make this an easy fix. If you pick up a Cherokee with solid floors, however, expect to find that it's one of the most reliable vehicles made. The 4.0 engine will turn 300,000 miles if it's taken care of properly and will outlast the rest of the vehicle.

Gas mileage ranges. With 30 inch MTRs and a 5 speed transmission, I manage to get about 23/24 mpg.

Pros — Reliable, strong vehicle.
Cons — Floors intensely vulnerable to rust.

i drove this car for about 6 months and ended up putting it against a tree on accident. it isn't a bad vehicle if you live out in the country and may need 4wd for snow or something

Pros — 4wd
Cons — when not in 4wd it is really unstable

Owned it for years love it for everything handling braking acceleration, just watch pulling with it as the older they get the rear unirail frame rails get a little weak

Pros — 4 WD
Cons — unirail bodies are weak off road

This vehicle was a good, solid truck. not overly roomy inside but comfortable to drive..
almost car-like. fuel mileage was ok for an SUV but if the fuel tank was low the fuel would
slosh in the tank so bad that during cornering, the fuel pump would not pick up any fuel,
causing engine hesitation. these vehicles are also prone to rust on the body. Only other
issue i had with mine was a driveline imbalance that caused shaking at freeway speeds.
you could remedy this somewhat by putting it in on-demand 4wd.

Pros — engine, acceleration, driving comfort, winter traction, on-demand 4wd feature (allows for
AWD on pavement.)
Cons — fuel tank design, driveline issues, mediocre brakes, small interior
