Laredo 2dr SUV 4WD
Bought it new in 1990 and still own it. New engine at 265,000 miles but the transmission is original. It now has 321,000 and going strong. Originally a Colorado car, we did some SERIOUS 4 wheeling at 11-12,000 feet. We lived 20 miles west of Denver at 7,000 ft. with tons of snow in the winter. NEVER got stuck with this Jeep. Like us, it is retired in Florida. Air conditioning freezes you out . First time it went to the garage for an oil change, there was a note on the windshield; "if you ever want to sell your Jeep, please call......."
This is and update. Jeep now has 322,321 and is reliable as ever. A simple brake job turned into a nightmare until I found a local garage that knew what they were doing. I guess that can happen with any vehicle. The Jeep has hauled furniture, dogs, and now boating supplies without fail. Love my Jeep!
It's now February 2020 and the Jeep has 326,324 mile on it. Still going strong and steers great after a new steering box was put in.
new paint job this spring will make it look like new again.

Got this 1990 Jeep Cherokee (Midsize SUV
4 Dr Laredo Wagon) and it is great! It
has a high 175,000 miles my still
drives like a new SUV. It has the best
automatic transmission (unlike the
transmission used on the round body-
style) according to my mechanic and do
not expect anything major until 250,000
miles. The shape of the body is just
the right size: it's a true MidSize!

Well I love to ride in my Jeep. I have owned the Jeep for 8 years and I love it. Its my baby! I have the 4 door limited and its in great condition with 223000 miles and a lot left to go. I've heard that these Jeeps can get 400,000 miles on them and I believe it. The most problems that I can recall from the 1990 Jeep Cherokee is that there is no radiator cap, you can only put radiator fluid from the reserve and sometimes these things like to run hot but if you keep a good thermostat in it and a good reserve cap on the reserve it will be able to have the pressure that it needs to let the water flow. This is the only major thing that I can see that is really wrong with the Jeeps - I do recommend them.

My family owned our cherokee from when
it was new off the lot. It now has
148k miles. Stock everything. It's
been though a few alternators (due to
mud from offroading), one water pump,
and a starter. The rear main seal
went bad at 140k miles. I started
driving this vehicle when I was 16,
and to be honest, I seriously abused
it. It stood up to everything that
has been thrown at it and still runs
great.
