My 91 didn't have headrests. And I know its the original seat cuz it had the build sheet in it.
It was a pioneer. Was there an option for headrests or standard?

Must have been an option. My 91 has headrests and is also a pioneer.

My base 1990 SportTruck had headrests.

1988? What do I win?

My 1991 Sportruck had headrests. Still does, too.

 

No idea on my 89. It had already been converted to buckets when I got it.

My '88 Pioneer did not have headrests.

As a side note, what was AMC thinking in 1984?

 

(shown is an '84 Wagoneer Base with the ultra-rare "Almond" interior color that might just be "Sand" that we're all familiar with. No idea, I've never seen any parts from this interior color in person.

 

In '84, and '84 only - you could get bucket seats without headrests on the Cherokee and basic Wagoneer. If you wanted to not break your neck being rear-ended at parking lot speeds, you had to shell out extra. Mandatory headrests may have been a running change at some point during the 84 model year, as I went back and looked and @eaglescout526 has an 84 Cherokee with headrests.

I change my vote. 1989.

I want to say 91. Wish I still had access to my catalog but my 88 does not have head rests either nor a place to put them. I am certain it was a Chrysler afterthought. 

 

Yes my 84 does indeed have vinyl headrests and not the Renault sport type ones. Had to go look at my pics myself to. God I really want to go work on that thing.

'91 with headrests

My 88 pioneer does not have headrests on the bench.  However the '90 buckets I swapped in have headrests.

1990

I'm sure GJeep is correct.

My neighbor's '89 does not have headrests.

[89 MJ]

My 89 doesn’t. 

[rokinn]

My 1990 base does!

My 90 Pioneer does
