1992 Jeep Cherokee Larado review from North America
"Reliable, powerful and a lot of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went around 100,000 miles and that does not seem improbable. some will make it three times farther, but who knows.
Fuel pump went around 110,000 miles. pretty quick replacement.
There are some seals/gaskets behind the engine (can't think of their name) that seem to go. they are behind the engine so it's a lot of labor to have them replaced. the ones on my older Cherokee also went somewhere around 80k miles maybe?
General comments?
The car has a ton of power if you are not hauling cargo or towing. it was faster than my friend's mustang when I first got it (with 55k miles).
I am 6'6" and find the pre-1997 Cherokees to be adequately roomy. I just scoured the area for a 1996 to replace the 1992 one and get the last of this body style.
The car has held up better than anything else I have ever owned. I really considered putting more money into it because it seems like it has a lot of life left in it.
The 4 wheel drive system works great. I use it way more in snow than dirt, but it has never left me stranded. I can go anywhere I want while everyone else is trapped at home.
