Jeep Comanche

The Jeep Comanche (MJ) was a unibody pickup based on the popular XJ Cherokee, produced from 1986 to 1992. It combined the tough, off-road DNA of the Cherokee, including its optional 4.0L inline-6 engine, with the utility of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. As Jeep's last compact pickup truck, its unique construction and direct link to the AMC era make it a distinctive choice for collectors.

Collectors are drawn to the Comanche for its capability and relative rarity. Many were used as work trucks and simply wore out, making clean, rust-free examples hard to find. The combination of the legendary High Output 4.0L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission is particularly desirable. It represents a sweet spot of classic 80s styling, modern-enough reliability, and genuine utility.

The market for the Comanche is appreciating, but it remains an accessible classic. The average sale price hovers around $10,000, showing that enthusiast interest is strong. Top-tier prices reach $20,000 for low-mileage, 4x4 models in excellent condition, while projects can still be found for much less. This shows a growing separation between driver-quality trucks and collector-grade examples.

Based on 43 recent sales, prices range from $2,425 for projects to $20,000 for top-spec examples.
