1988 Jeep Comanche Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is a solidly built piece of history. Extremely durable light truck. Getting harder to find. Great on and off road performance. Ample braking and acceleration. Everyone that has driven it has had a blast drive it on and off road.

The truck is great on gas. Ir performs on and off road really good just stock. It never needs major repairs. It looks great and even now being over 20 years old it still looks great and has almost no rust. It is a blast to drive on and off road. The only bad thing about it is you cant find new tail lights for it once broken. So dont break a tail light

Keep in mind this is an old truck. The 4.0 6cyl engine is bullet proof, if you take care of it it will last you about 500k, of course it depends on the shape that you get it, interior is decent, pretty basic totally 80s retro, transmission is reliable, however most of us will have to spend money to upgrade a bunch of stuff. It is a pretty good fixer upper unless you buy one for 12k.

Performance is more than adequate, handles very good for a lifted vehicke, and still tows plenty. Build quality is excellent, but don't get the 5 speed til 1990, also opt for the 4.0, you'll be glad you did. Appearance is 80's obviously, yet plenty modern enough. Mileage is the only place it really suffers, between 12 and 16 average. Maintenance is cheap and they are fairly cheap and easy to modify. It is alot of fun to drive, both on and off road.

Awesome Truck! Awesome acceleration for a jeep/little truck. 5spd was great! light rear end made it fun! Any old jeep had unmatched quality, but also it was handled with care. Good appearance, lines were great, but the paint was a little faded... who cares! WICKED FUN to drive!

Had the 2wd version, and even at that it would go through anything!! It LOVED the snow and was responsive to both throttle control and steering! It was the sport version, with a quality sound system and road noise sound proofing. It was not built with extended cab and I am sure that is the only reason it did not take off.

Its an overall awesome truck. A good daily driver and a good off roader. Not much maintenance need other than minor things. Gas mileage is around 10MPG. Its alot of fun to drive being a little bigger than most. Being able to take it off road and use it for a work truck is a great advantage.

These are great trucks compared to what Ford,Chevy put out. But they do run a high expense for repairs/parts
