1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer review from North America
"This was an amazing truck in its day"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel pump blew two months ago due to tremendous burn-outs.
The material on the inside of the roof is falling off.
General comments?
Even though this truck is now thirteen it will still blow away most trucks of the same size today. It accelerates well and is solid and strong.
For a small truck it pulls like an ox and even though it is only two wheel drive, it is fairly hard to get stuck in foot deep snow.
The steering is pretty worn and the brakes are becoming a bit spongy.
Other than the fuel pump I have done nearly nothing to this truck in the past three years.
