Default '85 Grand Cherokee

what engines came in the '85 grand Cherokee, is it the undesirable V6 and if so, is it really that bad? What about 4 cylinders? also what's the difference in the grand and regular on those old vehicles? Thanks.

'85 would be a Grand Wagoneer.. Wagoneer's (Waggys or FSJ's) would have a V8 or a I6 no V6 in a Grand. Grand Wagoneer's also have full frames.

Is this what your talking about?

Grand Cherokee's didn't come until '93

I I didn't think they had grand Cherokee's then, that's how they listed it in the add. So, can you tell me about the engine possibilities in this vehicle?

Ok that is a Cherokee also known as a XJ..

'85 will be either the 4 cylinder or the 2.8L V6. The 4's not to bad but if it's the V6 pass it up..

Thats not a grand cherokee, and definately not a wagoneer.
Looks like a plain old cherokee to me.
Also, Looks like 85 had the "undesirable" v6. I would wait and get one with a I6...
  • 1984-1985 2.5L (150 CID) I4 carbureted - 105 hp @ 5000 rpm, 132 ft lb torque @ 2800 rpm
  • 1986-1990 2.5L (150 CID) I4 TBI (fuel injected) - 117 hp @ 5000 rpm, 135 ftlb @ 3500 rpm updated in 87-90 to 121hp
  • 1991-2000 2.5L (150 CID) I4 MPI (multi-port injection) - 130 hp @ 5250 rpm, 139 ft lb @ 3250 rpm
  • 1984-1986 GM 2.8L V6 - 115 hp @ 4800 rpm, 145 ft lb @ 2400 rpm
Here is a 85 FSJ Wagoneer, for reference
