Comanche

The Jeep Comanche MJ is a pickup truck variant of the Cherokee compact SUV. It was manufactured and marketed by Jeep for model years 1986-1992. It came in rear-wheel (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) models. As well as two cargo bed lengths: six-foot (1.83 meters) and seven-foot (2.13 meters).

In the mid-1980s, the demand for compact trucks rose. To compete with Japanese competitors, AMC and Chrysler planned to launch their own compact pickups. AMC was financially struggling but had a popular line of Jeeps, and the introduction of a compact Jeep pickup truck in the fall of 1985 was expected to help.
