1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America

Broke the U-Joint on the drive shaft while trying to accelerate.

A seal is leaking around the fuel line to the carburetor resulting in a small trickle of gas to spew out when the gas pedal is depressed.

Replaced brakes at 107000 miles.

Glove compartment latch snapped off.

Leather is badly worn on the seats.

All, but one speaker is blown.

Upholstery is starting to come down severely.

Rear wiper does not work at all.

Fog lights would remain on after switch is turned to "off."

I own a 1991 Grand Wagoneer: Final Edition. The production number for this year is 1,560. It's rare enough to find a GW anyway. I know of 8 other guys in my area who own GW's, but I still have yet to find another 1991. Just about everything on the 1991 is the same as the last few years of the GW line, except for a plaque on the dash that beefs up the value for the vehicle.

It is a beast off-road. With its 4WD and and immense power, it has powered through many four-wheeling trips. Although, I'm usually there to pull out my smaller Jeep companions. I tend to stay in the back letting them take the chance of sinking because it's easier for my 3-ton Jeep to pull out their 1-ton Jeeps than vice-versa.

For it's large engine size (5.9 V8-360 cubic inch) and much to be desired gas economy (11-city; 13-hwy), I was a little upset over it's wimpy 144HP. Then I found what it lacked in speed, it gained in power. With its 280lb-ft torque, it can pull virtually anything! It easily pulled a 2 1/2 ton Chevy sideways in the wet grass; it never even slipped.

Despite some of the problems I've had recently, this is truly a remarkable vehicle!
