Default 5.2 engine

Going to trade for a 1994 jeep Cherokee with 86,000 miles, was wondering if there are any issues with these engines?

It feels like a lot more than a 15hp difference when compared to the 5.9l engine and gets identical mileage.
With 3.55 gears in the axles and larger than 30" tires these things are slugs, with 4.10 gears they're fine.
