The transmission went while towing a travel trailer in the mountains. That sucked, but it was repaired pretty cheap all things considered. The back window was a constant pain. I had to rebuild the rear brake slave cylinders. I also had to replace the spark wires. Other than that I had no problems. Not bad considering the mileage on the truck when I bought it.
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer was a great four wheel drive. It had a big V8 which loved gasoline too much. But the vehicle rode smooth, powerful, and was very capable in almost any conditions. When I sold the Wagoneer I bought a Land Cruizer. I wasn't as happy with the LC as I was with the Wagoneer.
Mine came with leather seats that were the most comfortable that I have ever ridden in to this day. The steering was light and the ergonomics were perfect. If I had had any sense at all I would never have sold that truck.
Boy, tell me about the fuel mileage.. I had one for a while with the 360 2 bbl, I was lucky to get 12mpg in the city.
Yes, the big engines to take a lot of fuel, but if you play off-road with it, it has its advantages. I had a 6 cylinder in my off-road machine, and it just never had enough power. It couln't make through deeper mud pits. I got tired of it and I bought a Grand Wagoneer with a 360 V8. WOW! Big difference. It powered through everything.
