It's interesting to note that the beginning of the story takes place in 1995. That version of the Cherokee (which is shown in the above picture which supposedly takes place in 1995) wouldn't be around until 1997 |

The people who made this movie goofed on this car |

Yeah, it's an anachronism. This generation, the post face-lifted Jeep Cherokee XJ. Those factory rims didn't come along until 1999 I believe. Still a nice vehicle though, although their dependability in during their last years wasn't as good as Chrysler interfered with too many of the components. Too bad Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) refers to it as a 'car'. It's a Jeep. |

I love this movie but it drives me crazy that it's not the right model year. How hard could it have been to look up? |

Me too Mitchman. I was 16 when I saw that in theaters and it kept bugging me. The only way it could've made sense was if he crashed four years prior to the date of the movie, which would make it '96 and possible that he had an early '97 model (incorrect rims aside). But they specifically set the beginning in 1995 so I knew it was out of place. |

When he stops to deliver the package to Bettina, it turns silver and into an older model, like this one: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/514/1549/38783274001_large.jpg -- Last edit: 2013-05-10 23:19:26 |

Does anyone wonder if insurance was kept on this Jeep through all the years? If not, i feel like his (ex) wife was setting him up for failure as soon as poor Tom Hanks landed on dry land. |

Not sure of the significance of the question, but she kept the vehicle and actively drove it, as evidenced by the removal of the child's seat before he drives off. |

1999 for the roofrack running half the length. |

Roof racks ran half length on all of the 1997-2001 XJ equipped with a sunroof, which this one has. |

Greatest real suv ever. Recently donated my 1998 with 503,365 hard miles on her. I will always miss that death and taxes straight 6 torque and reliability. 22 years of hellish driving conditions and never once did she stumble. My wife hated that I kept it until a giant snow storm hit us in Chicago back in 2011 and her Lexus GX got stuck in a snowbank and when I came in the tape deck equipped XJ she would never even move in the driveway it then became great in her eyes. Even the Toyota 2019 4runner I drive today won't last as long as the xj did, who knows? |

I miss my '98 too. I only had it a few years as by the time I was old enough to own a vehicle, many were rotten in my region. But it was an amazing vehicle, I wish I had found my career a little earlier so maybe I could've saved it. When you say "donate" do you mean, it went to scrap? Or like to a school? That's a great story about how your wife's opinion of it changed. The XJ is a workhorse, of which we will never see the likes of again now that vehicles are glorified iPods. |
