@extremedrivr Jeep being a sister brand to Fiat and Renault is pretty much where the same spot they were in during the first half of the 1980s. People forget that the Eagle, Cherokee XJ and Grand Cherokee were developed under the Fiat-Renault/AMC Alliance. The unibody came from a Fiat Fiorino pickup and all Jeeps manufactured between 1985-1986 were technically built by Renault. This isn't their first rodeo together.

I love the old Wagoneers, body designed by Brooks Stevens, they were produced for about 30 years with little changes. Very practical. My dad bought one new in late 66 and last year gave it to me, over 300,000 miles on it. I grew up in that car. I had a beat up 73, a 78, and84 Grand. Now have two 67's and a rolling 70. Practical and stylish, not the most fuel efficient. I remember when gas prices went up in the 70's and 80's at times the small CJ's held their value but good used Wagoneers could be gotten cheap. I sold my 84 Grand, in fairly good shape with new tires for $800 several years back. During Obama's cash for clunkers I saw in a news report, someone draining the oil and pouring something into the engine of a nice Grand Wagoneer to lock it up before sending it to the crusher. Sickening. Look what they fetch today in good shape!

I think we put something like 200,000 on it before selling it in 1987 and replacing it with a new Ford Ranger pickup. The body was really going by then, but the guy who bought it still got another few thousand miles out of it.

The Tall Deck AMC 360 got around 18mpg highway/13 city. Average should've been 15-16mpg. Of course, if you ran Premium gas per AMC's recommendation, you could add another couple of miles per gallon, but most people ran Regular and bitched about the poor fuel economy. I had a solid average of 21 mpg from Austin, TX to El Sobrante, CA doing 65mph on the interstate pulling a trailer with two Honda motorcycles. That was on 93 and 91 octane Texaco, and minimal air conditioning. Driving like a maniac in stop and go city driving with the A/C on full blast and 87 octane, I'd get about 12 mpg.

FYI the gear grinding is normal in those transfer cases. Also, if it happened to have the owner's manual you should have read the shifting instructions where it says to be rolling 2-3mph shift transmission to neutral then shift to low range or vice versa. Most vehicles you have to be at a dead stop, not so with the Jeep Transfer Cases back then. Hmm, 13 city 18 highway. That's what my 2008 Toyota Tundra 4x4 5.7L truck got. Goes to show the new stuff isn't any better. I'd love a Jeep Grand Wagoneer if I can find one in good enough condition without an astronomical price. Found one last year for $7500 and it looked like nobody ever used it for anything, can't remember the mileage on it but it looked brand new inside and out...whoever owned it took excellent care of it. That 360 V8 is a great engine, and it certainly can get the Grand Wagoneer moving pretty quickly...imagine that same engine in the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee...the only year Jeep offered the Grand Cherokee with the 360 :(.

Kieran Curtis. You're 100% correct. Chrysler has ruined Jeep, but I think Renault would have done the same thing to Jeep if it still owned AMC currently - the Cherokee would be based on the Mégane and not the Alfa Romeo Giuliettia in this case.

The 258 was a great motor, and so was the 4.0L, which was an outgrowth of the 2.5L AMC 4, which was also used by Chrysler.

These Jeeps had an inline six, not a V6 as they said in the video, big difference.

The most quantiful good investment on the car market. Don't expect to be able to buy a Subaru Forester for $3k and resell it for $20k after repainting it.

Because they're reliable, they were built to work, and built to last unlike the garbage being built today, and they were still being built by AMC before Chrysler took over and destroyed the Jeep brand.

There is on of these sitting in the new car showroom of a Chrysler dealer in my area, and the funny thing is, the Grand Wagon is getting twice the looks by people than the crap that Chrysler is selling today.
