The Jeep Comanche was built from 1986 through 1992. It was introduced by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1986, but then AMC and it’s Jeep Division were purchased out by the Chrysler Corporation who started out propagating the mid-sized truck officially in 1987. The fact that Dodge pickup trucks are also Chrysler merchandise made it difficult for the Jeep newcomer to compete with the conventional Dodge line specially the Dodge Dakota which was likewise available in 4 wheel drive. Also, Jeep sales had been declining with the slow death of American Motors Corp. and now it was up to Chrysler to determine what to do with their new division…but exceptionally the Jeep Comanche. The Comanche pickup was built on the successful Jeep Cherokee platform sharing most major drive train and even some body/interior parts. I have always felt that the Comanche truck was a handsome looking pickup, as well as being a good size among the compact and full-sized pickups all around the spectrum of American and Foreign entries. I presently own an primary 1987 Jeep Comanche 4×4 long bed with a 5 spd. popular and the initial of the 4.0 Liter engines. I exhaustively take delight in my truck…and have loved most Jeeps for rather a heap of time now. This truck has a great deal of power and will go anyplace it is pointed…especially in rough driving conditions. My truck is smooth on the highway and handles dirt, rocks, mud, snow and ice as well. There are no power windows, seats or locks anyplace on this workhorse. Chrysler/Jeep has been talking for assorted years now when it comes to building a production pickup to fill the long gap since the Jeep Comanche. In 2005 they came out with the Jeep Gladiator Concept prototype which will knock your socks off. This is one nice looking pickup built on the Wrangler Unlimited platform. In the meantime, while awaiting new Jeep Pickup blood from Chrysler…there are a great deal of nice Comanches still on the road and some are even available to good homes. They may only become rarer with time. So…grab one up…take care of it…and receive pleasure from the Jeep Experience! |
