The 1996 Jeep Cherokee is a great 4x4 utility vehicle, as well as a great all-around vehicle. The reason it's good all around is the fact that it's a cheap, beautiful SUV that gets decent gas mileage. Mine has 227,000 currently and is still going strong, with very little maintenance apart from the usual things. One of my favorite things about this vehicle is its maneuverability. It has very small dimensions and very straight edges so you can easily tell where its boundaries are, which aren't really a concern because you're always clear with the Cherokee's insane turning radius. I love this car.

I can absolutely say this is the best vehicle I ever owned. It was the most dependable vehicle. It never left me stranded. It never failed to start. The 4wd was incredible! I used to tell everyone that my jeep Cherokee did everything except climb telephone poles! It did excellent in the winter. It never slid on ice. It did great in muddy fields. I never once got stuck. In fact, there were numerous times that I had to pull big trucks out of the mud that had gotten stuck! The Cherokee is a great vehicle for all kinds of things! I hauled the family around in it. I could fold down the back seat and haul large items with ease. It had a straight six engine in it and could haul a trailer as good as any v8, but for less gas money! I hauled enclosed cargo trailers and smaller camper trailers with ease! So if a person is looking for a vehicle that can not only be used for the family vehicle, but be used for working and haling as well, then this would be the vehicle for them! Hands down the best vehicle ever!
