I'm looking at a 99 Cherokee Classic with the V-6. 204k miles. I know the 4 liter is bullet proof. Can anyone offer any insight into the durability of the V-6. It's for my 16 year old daughter. Thanks for your help. Vince

It's actually an inline 6, not a V6, and they're tough as nails. I've got 200K on mine and it runs great. There are people on here with over 300K on their stock motors. The motor will outlast the body, which is known to rust away.

Thanks for your help. I hadn't looked at it yet, he told me it had a V-6 in it. I can probably buy it for less that $3k. Thanks again.

Good engine, decent price, check for rust issues, and tell the current owner is an inline 6, not a V-6.

i have heard people call a inline 4 or a 4 cylinder , a v-4.....what the hack is a v-4 lol

There are a couple of over seas manufacturers that make v-4 motors But in the states they are inline or straight 4 .

yeah, i know right , i just thought it was funny when i heard that

This look like a v6?


Lol, as other people have said its a I6.

Its a good motor, and if taken care of will go past 420,000 (highest Ive seen on here and still going AFAIK)
They will definately outlast the body.

The Aw4 is a good trans too and will last about as long as the motor.

Uhm, guys, AFAIK Jeep did put a V6 into some jeeps didn't they?
