01 / Tables

Cherokee dimensions and capacities by model year

Length, width and height are the maker’s overall figures (width without mirrors). The wheelbase is the distance between the axles, the turning circle the curb-to-curb diameter, and a pickup’s bed figures are measured inside the box. Capacities are the fuel tank the maker prints and the seats it fits. Figures in US units; model years printed the same share one table, and a package that changes a figure gets its own row.
