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

  Best Year - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dale - February 7 - 4:47 am

  The style and reliability are the best in the market. You must get the 4.0 and you should get 500 Thousand miles plus. The real reason they quit making the 4.0 was it will not die..Updated 12/16. Still driving it. Will not die so I put New Tires on it and probably couldnt get a New one this reliable.

  Overall Good Car - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By GDenton - January 11 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car for my son and I have had almost no problems with it. We bought the car when it had 87K miles on it and have only had minor wheel alignment problems. It gets great gas mileage for its size; 34 mi/ gal. I think this car is worth looking into.

  Ultimate Jeep: The 5.9 - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jeep King 5.9 - December 5 - 10:00 am

  I searched for over a year for a 5.9 and it was well worth the wait. For the length I have owned it the only thing which went wrong was that I had to replace the ball-bearings. My dad loves my seats more than his Navigator and it is a head turner. A friend said it drove better than his moms lexus. I wouldnt trade it for anything.

  5.9 a keeper!! - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By acarson - October 6 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 5.9 a year and a half ago and have been living high ever since. It has been pure bliss. Just hearing it roar to life still sends chills up my spine. The power is always there, the comfort is unsurpassed and I love the looks that I still get in a 5 year old vehicle. I have had no problems whatsoever. I realize that before its all said and done I will probably have to replace something, but the enjoyment I have had up till now will make it all worth while! Did I mention the way it sounds...?

  Best car ive ever owned - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By tethsojh - August 10 - 1:23 am

  I bought this car in Jan 06. Traded in a 04 Mazda 6 for it. I had always wanted a Grand Cherokee and the dealership obviously gave me a great deal considering i was trading down. In the 4+ years ive had it ive had very little problems. Just went on a 3000 mile trip from Iowa to Florida, Georgia, etc; and had zero issues. And thats with 175,000 miles on the odometer! I consistently get 21 mpg on the highway and 17-18 around town. Four-wheel drive is superb. Always goes in, and doesnt clunk of stick like some other older suvs do. Have taken it thru lots of off road places, crossed rivers, and gone thru 3 feet of snow without getting stuck. I would definitely recommend this car.

  Just bought another one! - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By HTB - June 16 - 2:16 pm

  I do admit, I joke about my Jeep being a POC. But to be fair, I got my first last year (2WD) from a dirtbag liar, and it had never been serviced aside from oil- the battery was 13 years old!! Now that Ive seen to the old and rotting Engine bay, the car is a gem. Still rock solid engine and transmission. Got it with 170K and Ive put over 40K on it in the past year. The car was overpriced for what I was getting, but the interior was spotless. The speakers still sound really nice with classic 80s playing. The seats are in a lot better condition than my SOs 07 saturn. I love this car so much Ive bought another. This one is a 4WD, and in rougher shape due to leather seats and a busted front light but Im ready to get it just as nice as mine currently is. I wouldnt ever trade my Jeep for another. If you want to buy a JGC Laredo, just make sure you focus on a few things: Is the PCM in good shape? How does it sound on the test drive? What do the hoses look like? And lastly, if the interior is good, then youre golden.

  1998 Jeep Gr Ch Limited Rocks - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By redbeard2k1 - August 11 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is easily the most comfortable I have ever had. For an SUV, it handles like a car, rides like one as well. The power options are plentiful and well placed. The power seats are comfy, and easy to adjust.

  I love my Jeep! - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By litgrl - July 6 - 2:00 am

  I was a little leary of buying a used car, but I have had nothing but great experiences with my Jeep Cherokee. I love the way it handles on the road, the space my family has when traveling, and the extras it has. The only downs I have experienced are not great gas mileage, and it is a little too boxy for me (making it hard to dry when hand- washing it). Other than that, I love this vehicle!
