1987 Jeep ComancheReview
Awesomeness!!! — I feel this is one of the most over looked 4x4 truck. It has power, looks, and off road capability unlike most. If you ever have opportunity to buy on jump on it, parts and very easily swapped from jeep xj Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Swing by trail and hit some rock climbs, then head to store she makes great grocery getter Cons: No cons besides I have family of 5 and we can't all fit Looking for a Used Comanche in your area?CarGurus has 3 nationwide Comanche listings and the tools to find you a great deal. |

Jeep - It's A Way Of Life — She's nearly 25 years old which means everything is manual and easy to fix, in five years the only repair was a fuel filter which we changed ourselves. The interior is black leather. Two bucket seats in the front and a bench seat in the back that will fold flat. Fun to drive and very responsive. Warms up fast in the winter, roof comes off in summer. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Fun and maneuverable Cons: Will flip easier than most vehicles. |

My First Car — it wasnt good on gas, and it wasnt a show car, but it was reliable and it stood up to my abuse. performance wise it did alright, had enough torque to take off in 2nd gear, and had a descent top end speed. plus you have to love a stick Pros: it was peppy and fun to drive Cons: it was 2wd, and not very roomy |

1987 Jeep Comanche Dream Truck — There is a few things i love about this small pickup truck. The 4.0 litre straight six that was designed by AMC is a true champ that has ran forever. Another thing i love about the Jeep Comanche is it has the legendary Jeep four wheel drive. Finally the last thing i like besides the awesome custom stereo is the five-speed manual transmission. This truck may not be the prettiest truck you've ever seen but the Jeep Comanche won my heart ever since i saw it. This is the onl small/compact truck i would recommend. Even over the Ford Ranger or the Chevrolet S-10. Highly recommendable. ~Morgan~ Pros: 5-Speed manual trans. 4.0 litre straight 6 Jeep's legendary four-wheel drive Cons: not as fuel efficient as i would hope for but my perfect mileage is 2,000 MPG |

Very Good Truck — This is one of the toughes trucks iv ever driven. I have driven one on and off road. The one I drove was lifted 6in and was sitting on 34in Super Swampers.

1987 Comanche 2wd 5 Speed 4.0 Engine (see Comments) — 1987 2WD 5 speed 4.0 engine. Nice rugged vehicle with good doors, seats and bed. This is a REAL pickup truck, just small. BUT: the cooling system is ridiculous and causes problems. I've been making repairs to make the truck more comfortable but the cab wiring and switches are difficult to access and repair. Fuel mileage is horrible despite good compression and new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, O2 sensors, etc. Addition (2012): -After five years I have to revise my review of the truck. I still think it is rugged, well built and the cutest thing on the road, but the RENIX electronic contol unit (ECU) did me in. The truck became embarrassingly unreliable. We swapped engines with another 87 and played with 3 ECUs to no avail. I researched everything I could on the RENIX and even downloaded the 100+ page factory manual. I finally gave up. The RENIX system can't be diagnosed or adjusted/repaired. The truck now has the engine and automatic tranny out of a 1996 Cherokee. The good news is I still have the truck and OBD II electronics. The bad, REALLY bad, news is that: 1) the conversion had and still has numerous electical problems tying the 96 wiring to the 87 wiring. Perhaps the worst part was the fuel system; I still don't have a working fuel guage. 2) initial fuel mileage dropped to a little over 11 mpg. I now have it up to about 15 mpg at highway speeds. I never got the fun I wanted out of the vehicle and I will never, ever, come close to recouping 30% of what I have invested in the vehicle. I still love to drive it but it is time to say "Adios, amigo." Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) Pros: Rugged , well designed & fun to drive. There are so few around that it always draws attention. Cons: Fuel mileage and wiring; see comments in the review. The turning radius is horrible, equal to a much larger truck. |

Just A Good Little Truck — It is an A to B little truck. It is paid for I owe nothing on it. It is fair on gas, and just a blast to drive. I also got it from my father. Who owned it before me Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: It is paid for Cons: It is not a 4x4 and it is not a sports car |
