Sexy + Tough = Jeep Comanche on 2040-cars

Now you can own the LEGEND, the Sexy, Tough JEEP COMANCHE. They are so rare that you will have the only one of these classics in town! *1987 Jeep Comanche*
The Jeep Comanche was manufactured only 7 years from 1986 to 1992. It is the heavy duty truck version of the Jeep Cherokee and this one is a rare “classic”. It is a tough, high clearance vehicle that gets great mileage.
I purchased her in March 1999 to fix up for my son and worked on her from 1999 through 2012 as I could. I registered her for road use in June 2012. I’ve just now got her totally renovated and repaired as close to new condition as possible, but must sell her.
This Comanche is the straight 4 cylinder (150 Cubic Inch) standard bed with 2 wheel drive.
Wikipedia reveals that this vehicle was the first to use the new “Unibody” construction that is so widespread today because of the stability and durability. Jeep named the frame for the Comanche as the “Uniframe”. The frame is over 8” deep. That is much deeper than conventional mid-size truck frames. This was the first Jeep to use the new “Quadra-Link” suspension on the front end which gives greater ride comfort and axle articulation when off-road. The Comanche has the longer leaf springs on back which gives better load carrying capacity than the Cherokee without creating a hard ride. It has the Aisin AX=4 (four speed) standard transmission and gets 25 miles per gallon on the highway.
Listed below are the costs of the renovations done to date. I just got her out of the body shop as the final step in the renovation and have only driven her +-200 miles since I’ve had her. Everything is brand new.

Chrysler nets $1.6B income in Q4, Fiat profit up 5%
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
