How reliable are the 4.0L Jeep Cherokees?

^^^ Yeah all the ones I had 2 made it to 180k (one burnt to the ground due to an electric fire after a few minute long brake stand) and one is still sitting at home with a bad tranny (go figure).

I saw 14-18mpg typically. Maintenance wasn’t too bad since they are fairly common to find parts for. If the transmission goes it’ll be 250-400 depending on where you find one.
