Overview & Reviews

A 5.9-liter V8 making 245 horsepower and 345 pound-feet torque powers the Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, making it the mightiest of all Jeeps. With the addition of the 5.9, the putrid Orvis model dies. Two new colors and "next-generation" airbags round out the changes.

• Lightweight unibody construction, excellent on and off-road manners, optional V-8, standard ABS, dual airbags, lots of standard equipment

• Spare tire hogs cargo area, engines hog gas, not as roomy inside as some competitors, price climbs rapidly as options are added

  Brakes etc. - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Robert 2 - August 30 - 1:20 pm

  Rotors and brakes were changed 3 times in the first 20K and thereafter every 30K. Extremely rough ride. Instrument cluster and bezel poorly designed and poor fit. Cat/convertor rattle at idle common to this model at 100K milage. Poorly designed door; weatherstripping results in severe wind noise. Sharp low speed turn results in extremely loud "thunk" from wheels. All the above defects found to be common with several other owners

  Excellent purchase dont regret it - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bravealdie - August 14 - 10:00 am

  I did a lot of research before I bought my vehicle and overall for that body style that was the best year to have purchased one. The only complain I have of this vehicle is that it has a poor fuel consumption. Mechanically this vehicle is very sound, extremely stylish, and very dependable that will provide many fun years off road and on pavement.

  My Jeep - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By slhbanks - July 2 - 11:40 am

  I recently bought my Jeep at the beginning of 2006 and what can I say about it besides it is unstoppable! Theres nothing this Jeep hasnt seen and been through that Im sure that other SUVs couldnt have gone through. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I would buy another if I see another in the near future that I want.

  5.9 Jeep Rocks - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Coop - April 17 - 1:26 pm

  I bought this off a friend who got it new. It has 123,000 miles with no problems. It has a K&N Filter and gets approimately 17-18 on the highway and passing is NO problem as this SUV will fly. Had to put seals in transfer case where drive shaft goes in; dried up. Its only on its 3rd set of tires and they are new. Goes great in any condition. IF only it did not have the road noise/whine on the highway it would be perfect. Do have a strange electrical problem, may be ignition switch but still very reliable.

  Excellent - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ef822 - February 15 - 12:13 pm

  I just bought the car because I have a child and wanted something that was spacious and safe at the same time. I think I have made a great choice in what I chose. The car to me rides so smooth for being a somewhat slender suv. I honestly thought it would be a little bumby and I was pleastly suprised. So far I have only had the car for a few day but I love it. I was also kind of worried about the gas mileage with it being a v8, It actually gets pretty good gas mileage. Overall I would say this is a wonderful car.

  Mommy vehicle - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By mommy - February 2 - 7:23 pm

  I love my jeep. It has been a great car. No problems until 120,000 miles. Had to replace Transmission at 130,000. Brakes now are replaced every other year. Radiator blew at 155,000 and just lost my steering pump. Would buy another. lost the A/C at 125,000 and still problematic.
