Jeep Grand Wagoneers

[talisman]

I'm looking at a 1988 model with the 360. Any pointers? Looks like its in okay shape, a little faded, nice interior. I'm assuming I can expect about 15 mpg? Might see mild offroad use, nothing outrageous. I've had an eye on them for a pretty long time, thinking about for daily use.

kingjason built one few years back, might shoot him a PM.

15mpg...out of a carbureted 360? I bet you'd be lucky to see 10. I get 11 in my FI 360.

Dad had a 79 Wagoneer. Maybe got 10mpg out of it.

8 mpg... I want one sooo bad!

They're awesome looking, but 15mpg is a pipe dream

Well shit.

For an occasional ride, who cares?

I'm looking for something versatile for daily use. Probably going to ditch the 5.0. I've been on the hunt for about 2 months.

Tired of falling down into it?

A bit. I also just don't drive that much. Aside from the trip I just took, I was probably going to have less than 10k on it after a year. Seems like a waste of money. I love it, but as little as it gets used, it's just a silly bill. I want to get some proper equipment so that I can go camping and spend more time in the outdoors, far enough away that 4x4 would come in handy off the beaten path in National Parks. There are a few SUVs that I like but they all get shit milage(old style LR Discovery). I don't really want another Explorer; I've already had 3 of them. Was looking at station wagons for awhile, and gave up on that option. Help me out here guys. Toyota?

A 4runner can't be beat. I'd look for a clean 96-02 version.

Will look. The LRs actually get better milage than I thought. Looks like most people are reporting 18-19. Hell, my 06 V8 Explorer only got about 15.

I'd look at an Lexus LX470. It's a Land Cruiser sans locking diffs (essentially) which means that they're generally cheaper than a comparable LC because the hardcore guys aren't clamoring after them, and the suspension is more comfortable to boot. They'll run forever just like an LC, too.

Yeah, that 360 is a gashog. Would almost be worth finding one in good shape and doing some sort of drivetrain swap...
