Right now I have Jeep Cherokees (2 x 1987) and am looking to upgrade. I can get a 1994 Cherokee for around $4k if I can find one. I am in Denver area.
Complaints about Cherokee are low power (I drive between 6,000 and 11,000 feet above sea level), not so great mileage (20 mpg on a good day) and poor towing capacity (snowmobile trailer w/2 sleds). Cherokees have about
180-190k miles on them.Chains don't fit well on rear wheels - low fender clearance, low spring clearance (leaf springs).
Engine compartment is tight, cargo capacity is OK. Off-road capability is good.
I am looking for 5-speed manual, maybe a more modern engine (24 valves?) than the straight six in the Cherokee. Cherokee supposedly has 177 HP, newer (HO) engines have 190, I think.
I know little about the Toyotas. Where can I find specs on 1990-1994
4-runners like weight, power, etc.Anyone here have owned both?
Thanks in advance,
Charles.
