The 5.9 Limited was mostly aimed towards consumers who were also luxury car owners, and required a larger vehicle, such as an SUV, but did not want to give up the luxury features that their current vehicles offered. This was one of the only performance luxury SUV's available in the 1990s. Even though it was a high-performance SUV, the 5.9 Limited gave up none of the Grand Cherokee ZJ's off-road capabilities or features On Aug-25-14 at 07:47:45 PDT, seller added the following information: Matching full size spare with leather cover and cargo pull shade are included with the truck as is the orig owners manual and case.
