Cherokee overheats in 2WD but not 4WD?

I am looking for a RHD and test drove one today. The owner drives it in 4WD but I test drove it in 2WD and it overheated to 260 and died in less than 20 miles. He said it hasn't overheated like this before. This vehicle will be used for mail delivery so I don't plan on paying extra for the gas for 4WD unless needed. Does this make any sense to anyone? I don't own a jeep so not that familiar. It's a 1995 and was imported from Japan about 5 yrs ago. Thanks
