Jeep Comanche

Jeep Comanche!

This model truck was designed from 1986 to 1992. In my opinion, this jeep truck was, and still is an awesome vehicle. In it's day the Comanche was the king of the compact pickup. It's style was discontinued because Chrysler already had put most of their time and money into other trucks. If you search on the web today it is very difficult to find anything on the jeep comanche.
