Im new round these parts, and I just wanted to get yalls opinion.

Could anyone provide a good comparision between the 98 Blazer and a 98 Cherokee.

I am interested in going off road and haulin the Doos across the state.

Thanks.

haven't looked into all of the differences, but the thing that has always been a benefit for towing is that Jeep makes a V8 for the Cherokee and Blazer does not.

Yea, but Im talkin about the XJ Not the Grand Cherokee.

A Blazer is an average off roader. Unless you get a ZR-2, they really aren't built to become four wheelers. Cherokees are awesome in the dirt; the major help in that being the solid front axle. The lift kits are cheap, and they're pretty easy to work on. As a bonus, the 4.0 straight six makes more than enough torque to move it, and there are plenty of performance parts to hop it up. :2cents:

Yeah, I agree with "airforceone". But you have to remember. When considering a jeep, your considering a crystler...do you really want to do that? Also, on a serious note, I've none lots of guys who have jeeps not one of them has NOT had a problem. And jeep problems are not cheap to fix.

Cherokees are very good vehicles,I should have purchased that instead of the blazer. I used to work on them at a jeep dealer. Inside the blazer is a much nicer ride!

poo on both

Thats kinda the assumption I had made.
The XJ would be better offroad but a stiffer ride. And the Blazer would be more comfy but not as good 4x4.

How bout stibility @ 80mph pulling two Sea-Doos?
Or any inhernt bs like bad water pumps, rusting out steering boxes, things like that.

I cant say I have heard any really bad things about either of them.

My Blazer is nice at 80mph have not towed yet,but will be pulling2 or 3 dirtbikes soon.
