"Just empty every pocket" but for a different reason 🤣 Iacocca had the business savvy to see what was good with his newly-acquired AMC and keep that, while letting the rest fade into oblivion. Since it's inception Americans have loved Jeep and probably always will, as even in these luxury-biased models Jeep symbolizes our rugged, independent spirit 🤠 Perhaps the best part he got was the 4L inline 6, a legendary engine for rugged longevity, easy servicing, and enough torque to climb a tree if you could get enough traction. When they began cheapening things they didn't have the sense to leave this engine alone, so new plastic parts like valve covers began failing and the need to meet ever-tightening emissions and mileage standards meant more frequent and more expensive repairs were needed. Eventually it simply couldn't go on- the government wouldn't let it ☹ And a new America was emerging where the wealthier folks eschewed the Cadillacs and Lincolns previously seen as a sign of success for something with more leanness and less fat. European cars were making their mark, but many people here still wanted to buy American, and this gave them that opportunity with style and class. It was also creating a permanent rift between hardcore Jeep off-roaders and those seeking Jeep's luxury and image instead. I can introduce you to dozens of folks who will tell you "That ain't a real Jeep" and bore you to tears explaining why. I'm prone to side with them regardless of how successful these cars were for they were cars, not anything like traditional Jeeps. The people who bought these wanted the image, not the lifestyle. I'll bet you can think of where something like that happened to an even larger degree with two less wheels involved 😛 Once again another well-done episode with enough depth to satisfy all but the purists and fanbois, and I'm looking forward to the sequel even if they ain't real Jeeps 🙃
Everyone who had the misfortune of owning later a 4.0L with a cracked head or a broken piston will disagree about that engine. It was good early on but by the time the WJ came out mopar had turned the old inline six into an unreliable under-powered turd.
If you were not alive at the time i dont think you can appreciate what it was like when this suv was new. It was crazy to be in a Jeep this fancy. The rich kids at my school had them. When i sat in one i knew why. They were awesome. Suburbans didnt feel as special inside. This was a Jeep that made you feel like a king.
I’m 19 and my dad gave me a 2004 WJ inline 6. I love it and I put about 7k miles on it since February 6th when I got my license. It started with 208,181 miles and now has 215k. I love it
I remember going with my mom to buy her '95 JGC Laredo. She had always wanted a Cherokee and then the Grand came out in '93 and it was her dream car. She had it for 12 years and almost 250k miles. That AMC/Jeep 4.0L is legendary for a reason! It had an insane amount of play in the steering, but so did the Explorer from that era. It was a great car, although it started having electrical issues near the end. I think the '99-'04 is the best looking Jeep they've ever made. The dark blue Limited with the chrome 5-spoke alloys is peak JGC! My mom has owned two Explorers and a CX-9 since, but she swears the Jeep will always be her favorite. Edit: The '05-'10 felt like something from a different (cheap and unpleasant) planet! My sister had a '07 Laredo and a coworker had a '09 Limited. They were crap.
The 1st generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is still my favorite. The Grand Cherokee(along with the 1st generation Ford Explorer) were groundbreaking because they started the SUV boom, which still exists today, whether car enthusiasts like it or not. I was a 90's teen, and the Grand Cherokee was everywhere. It wasn't just popular with outdoor enthusiasts, it was popular with everyone, including single women, upper middle class families, and yuppies. You should do a video on the 1st three generations of the Ford Explorer as well, because, like I said, that vehicle, along with the Grand Cherokee, pretty much made SUV's popular with the masses.
Oh yes...The Explorers time is coming. They were even more everywhere than the Grand Cherokees LOL. Both came out at the perfect time to take advantage of the 90s SUV boom.
My Aunt loved the ZJ. She had four, an Orvis edition, TSI, a Grand Wagoneer, and a Limited. She daily drove the Limited and kept the others in storage but occasionally drove them. I remember those cars fondly. My Dad bought a new 2002 WJ, a Limited with the v8. According to him it was a money pit and he traded it in after a year on a Mercedes ML320 which he kept until last year when it was totaled in a hail storm
What I have read is that AMC had enough money to develop a new vehicle platform or a new engine. Not both at the same time. They chose to develop the XJ Cherokee first and buy engines from GM. Later after merging with Renault, the 4.0L was developed which was really just a modernization of the old 232/258 inline six adapted to use Renault electronic fuel injection (there was never a carburated 4.0L). Emissions, fuel economy, and safety regulations ended the viability of the old pushrod inline six. (longitudinally mounted inline motors are a hinderance for passing the offset left IIHS crash test) Hindsight is 20/20 but if AMC would have abandoned their car line in 1980 and instead spent that money to develop a fuel injected 4.0L and release it with the launch of the XJ & YJ, AMC [Jeep] may have survived into the 90's. They would have three solid models: XJ (Cherokee), ZJ (Grand Cherokee), YJ (Wrangler). The XJ being unibody could have also been used to introduce a new car model. Imagine instead of the old Hornet based AMC Eagle that they had produced a modern XJ based independent front suspension AWD car with fuel injection! edit: If AMC would have dumped all the legacy 70's garbage this revamped AMC/Jeep lineup would have been world class in 1990: - YJ Wrangler 2.5L/4.0L - XJ 2 door Cherokee 2.5L/4.0L - XJ 4 door Cherokee 4.0L - XJ Based 2 door hatchback car 2.5L/4.0L (name it Jeepster?) - XJ Based 4 door hatchback car 2.5L/4.0L - XJ Based AMX 4.7L - MJ Comanche 4.0L/4.7L - ZJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L/4.7L (The 4.7L OHC would have been possible this early. Ford released their modular 4.6L in 1990 and the DOHC version in 1993)
@@TheRetarp I remember driving a Cherokee with the GM 2.8L V6. It was so underpowered that it hardly warranted upgrading from the AMC 2.5L. The 4.0L was a game changer.
@@TheRetarp I just remembered that a friend’s mom had a GMC S15 Jimmy with the 2.8. She traded it for a ‘85 Accord and thought it was a muscle car in comparison. The early-mid 80s was a sad time for horsepower.
Doubled the subscribers! Congratulations to you. Manual Ford Aerostar guy here. Had to comment. The entire 90's line of Grand Cherokees were hot garbage, and so awesome. My friend's rich mom refused to drive anything other than Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 versions for a decade. The Mr. drove 911's and Merc S500s and the like, he thought these Jeeps were trash and hated them. BUT, Mrs. won every time. The compromise was that Mr. would trade them in every 3-6 months for a new color or better engine, etc. I absolutely loved the Orvis Edition they had for almost an entire year! Her mom drove us home from school in middle school and I looked forward to riding in it every day. I loved this generation of Jeeps. Sad it's over.
Buddy had a Gen 1 that led me to buy a Gen 2. I convinced a friend to buy a Gen 3 and the daughter bought a Gen 4. And We currently have a Gen 5 Summit 4XE so you can say we love them.
My dad used to have a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 V8 when I was a kid, as a replacement for his old Vauxhall Frontera. It had possibly the most comfortable seats of any car I've ever sat in - however, I use the term 'car' loosely here, since it was actually closer to a giant sofa with a big engine and four wheels attached to it. I remember the day we went to pick it up back in July 2010, and from the moment 10-year-old me sat in it for the first time, I was in heaven as the seats were just oh-so-comfy, and I felt myself almost sinking into them with just how soft and comfortable they were, they were more like comfy armchairs than actual seats! 👌 We even went on a caravan holiday to Great Yarmouth in it the following month in August 2010, and it made light work of hauling our caravan and all our luggage to our campsite, even if it was a tremendous gas hog and went though petrol like there was nowt tomorrow, though it did make a nice noise which we called the 'V8 roar'.
the grand Cherokees (ESPECIALLY the first gen) always just reeked of Dodge styling. They kept telling me that Jeep was the daddy but every time I looked at it, I knew in my heart it was the bastard child of the Dodge Caravan.
