’86 Jeep Comanche: Easy to be a truck. Hard to be a Jeep.
Compare the new two-wheel drive Jeep Comanche to Ford Ranger and Chevy S-10, and you’ll find Comanche has the lowest price tag. And in 4×4, Comanche is the lowest-priced long-bed pickup you can buy.
Up front, a gutsy 117 horse-power 2.5 litre electronic fuel-injected engine is standard. It’s more powerful than the base engine of any other pickup in its class.
Comanche’s 119.9 inch wheel-base is longer than any other long-bed pickup in its class.
Comanche is the only 4×4 pickup built with a choice of two -shift-on-the-fly- four-wheel drive systems.
You’ll find big 15-inch wheels and all-weather radials standard on Comanche, optional on two-wheel drive Ford Ranger and Chevy S-10.
