Hello,
I am in the Market for a new car. I have owned a toyota tacoma for some time now, and it has been a great truck. Its time to move on. I am thinking of jumping into an SUV. I really like the Cherokee XJ. My mom had one when we were kids and I remember it being a great vehicle on and off road, completely stock. After doing some research, there seem to be some rumors of one that has a diesel engine. Does anybody have any facts or opinions about this.

Thanks so much

 

What country are you in?

 

2.5L diesel was only sold overseas, anything you find in North America is going to be an import

 

jeep cherokees are some of the best vehicles ever built

dont let that toyota go if you dont have tho

as much as i dont like imports....those things go forever

jeeps cherokees do to tho....rumors of 300k miles are out there


there was a 2.5 made, im not sure of what years tho....

I think they were strictly sent over seas.....

Europe has alot of turbo diesel cars, the usa car makes think americans wont buy diesel cars b/c they stink (as in fumes)

i for one would be for a jeep with a 2.5 or similiar motor that got 25+ mpg

 

i saw an 89 on the recycler website that had a diesel in it, some older woman was selling it and wanted $900 i called my uncle who agreed to front me the cash when i checked the next day it was sold :'{ they are out there i'm not sure on the year but if i wanted to remember i think it was 89

 

Thanks for all the speedy answers.
Unfortunately, I have to let my Taco go. It's a single cab, and I am starting a family. Yeah I am in U.S.A, when I was doing some research about the XJ's I came across the 2.5, it said sold. I figured I was ask about them and see what came up. What is the best years for the XJ's 4x4? Does anybody know anything about the Cherokee wagoneer XJ?

Thanks again

 

Personally, if I was looking for reliabilty (family car) I would pick a stock 96-99

 

I would look for one with airbags (97 plus) if the family was riding in it, and put the kid in the middle back seat. Average-ish crash ratings with airbags.
