The Jeep Cherokee XJ is an exception. Simplicity and longevity.

Have an 01 - arguably the most complex of the lot, but that's not saying much. Last of the line.

Peeling clearcoat and some rust (Northern WV winters) I've fixed. Original engine and trans going strong somewhere over 200k. One annoying thing is the gauge clusters die, and the odometer data is stored in them, so my replacement has different mileage than actual.

4.0 is an awesome, if heavy, engine. Would have preferred a stick, but can't complain about the automatic - has lasted longer than any other post-2000 vehicle I've owned.

Yep, the AW4 transmission is nearly as legendary as the inline six 4.0.

Happy trails!
