Overview & Reviews

With the redesigned Jeep Cherokee's debut pushed back until the summer of 2001 as a 2002 model, the current model will remain in place for the 2001 model year with minor changes. The 4.0-liter PowerTech inline-six engine is standard equipment in all 2001 Cherokees, with the 2.5-liter inline four, along with the SE trim, dropped. The previous Limited trim is also dropped, with the former Classic trim now labeled Limited. All 2001 Cherokees offer child seat tethers as standard equipment.

• Powerful engine, affordable, extremely capable off-road.

• Boxy styling, small rear seat, difficult entry/exit.

  Not bad - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  By Big Mac - March 7 - 7:36 pm

  My 2001 Jeep Cherokee works just fine. I have a slight shimmy at 50 MPH but that may because of some bad wheels. I needed to have my AC rebuilt (70k) and I needed an expensive brake job (60k). The power steering sprung a leak ($400 at 60k). Besides that, its OK.

  Great Jeep - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  By Jeep Lover - February 19 - 11:10 pm

  I bought my Jeep on 2004. This is awesome. No major maintenance except normal wear and tear. The engine is awesome. I have 128,000 mile on it so far. Looks like my coolant is leaking but these things are fixable. The bottom line is Engine which is awesome. I love Inline 6. This is a little monster in the snow. I am not kidding. Its a part time 4 wheel drive. when it snows, put it to 4 wheel and there you go, you will fly leaving all the cars and SUVs behind.

  great little truck - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  By qsplimited - November 12 - 5:16 pm

  This is about the most practical and best built, simple and tough vehicle I have ever owned. It has been through a lot of tough torture at Lake Meade and handles the desert like a champ. On our second weekend at the lake we were unpleasantly stuck about 5 miles from a road and had to be towed up a cliff by cable to get out. After a short bath and a new ball joint she was beautiful as always. The look with the chrome wheel skins is great and they are quickly replaced if scratched or lost for only $25.00 The paint is very rich and the truck still looks brand new at 50,000 miles. I highly recommend to used buyers; remember though it is a truck based vehicle from the 80s. Dont expect a race car.

  Nothing else like it - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  By Kyle V - September 11 - 11:46 am

  I bought my XJ almost a year ago. After selling my 88 F250(needed cash) and GMC 2500(horrible truck!). I have put 35,000+ on the truck in under a year I drive about 45 minutes to work everyday. I also take the truck off roading dozens of times a month for hours at a time. It has a 4.5 inch RC lift and handles better off road then my friends vehicles by far a wrangler, bronco and samurai. Ive put it through hell and back and never been stuck or had any maintenance issues. Im 19 years old and I plan to keep it forever. It turns my 31 inch tires with all the added weight from the new heavy duty leaf springs and coil I installed. LOVE IT

  Great Car - 2001 Jeep Cherokee

  I really enjoy driving my Jeep. It accelerates smoothly and feels like a car on the open highway. The handling and performance is very good and the Classic style is very nice.

  The best vehicle ever built - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  By FBHSswimmer2006 - August 28 - 3:43 am

  I love my Cherokee. I fell in love with it the second that I saw it on the dealership lot. I surf so its a lot fun to drive, especially on the beach. It can take anything that I throw at it and what I need it to do. It is the best vehicle that I have ever had. Im gonna keep it until it dies, even with todays gas prices. Chrysler needs to bring this Jeep back and sell it again.

  Horrible in Wet Weather - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  By ShouldveBought4x4 - June 9 - 2:00 am

  I have the 2WD model and its UNSAFE on any kind of wet pavement - in snow, rain, or even if someons watering their lawn. If the road is wet, I have to be VERY careful about applying the brakes or making a turn. Its too light in the back and fishtails even at very low speeds. Forget about driving it in any kind of snow/ice. I wish Id bought the base 4x4 instead of the 2WD Limited, but living in Dallas I didnt think Id use 4x4. It also has an annoyingly LOUD humming / vibration when idling in cold weather, and its very noisy on the road.
