I have the last of the Jeep Cherokee, 2001. It is a Limited with all the options except for trailer tow and upcountry. It has 190K and still going strong. The 2001 Cherokee was the last model produced in the original Jeep factory. This model was in production for 20 years!
My gf absolutely hated her Liberty. So do I. It is not true Jeep.

It is my 1998 Dodge Dakota 4X4 has 256K. The dealer did a free oil and filter change at 1000 miles. At 7500 miles, I switched to the AMSOIL routine. Been running great since. The owner's manual states oil and filter change ever 7500 miles under normal conditions. The truck is my tow truck, boat in the summer and snow machines in the winter. I towed to Lake Champlain and as far South as Lake Norman in NC.

On both vehicles I switched the gear oils and transmission oils to synthetic. The transmission shifts a tad differently and I saw a couple of mpg savings. Since the Jeep was a daily driver I decided to change the oil and filter every 10K.

Both vehicles runs and look great!
