The Jeep Comanche, introduced in 1986 as a 1987 model year, was a compact pickup truck produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) and later by Chrysler Corporation. The Comanche was based on the AMC Jeep Cherokee (XJ) platform, sharing its unibody construction, suspension, and powertrains. It was positioned as a more rugged and capable alternative to the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S-10, offering a unique blend of car-like handling and off-road prowess. The Comanche was available in a variety of configurations, including standard cab, extended cab, and various bed lengths, catering to different needs and preferences. While it shared many components with the Cherokee, the Comanche was engineered with a robust frame and suspension, including a Dana 35 rear axle, to handle the demands of hauling cargo and towing trailers.
The 1989 Jeep Comanche, like its predecessors, was offered with a range of powerful and fuel-efficient engines, including the 2.5-liter AMC "Iron Duke" four-cylinder and the 4.0-liter AMC straight-six engine. Both engines were known for their reliability and durability, providing adequate power for most tasks. The 1989 model year saw a minor facelift, with updated styling cues, including revised grille and headlight designs, lending a more contemporary look to the Comanche. Throughout its production run, the Comanche was popular among individuals and businesses seeking a versatile and capable pickup truck. Its rugged build, ample cargo space, and impressive off-road capabilities made it a reliable companion for work, recreation, and everything in between. However, despite its popularity, the Comanche faced stiff competition in the crowded compact pickup truck market and ultimately ceased production in 1992.
