Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / August 2005=SKINNY= Jeep Liberty 4x4
Happy holidays! Need a little skinny on a Jeep Liberty 4x4 V6. I run a guide service in which I trailer a driftboat. The boat and trailer weight about 600 pounds. I log about 8,000 miles on the road from April through November. I've been using a Dodge 2WD pickup truck with a V6 for the past eight years and it's been fine. I need the V6 since I go up a lot of hills with the trailer. The only hitch with the truck and is that it's a squeeze to have three adults in the front of the cab. If anyone can be good points - and bad - about this SUV I'd like to hear about it. Looking at the numbers - it comes in at about 23k for V6 / Auto. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Happy holidays to you and yours... E. The Liberty is OK save for being a little girly, IMHO. I think you'd be better off with a Cherokee Classic. It's got a little more oomph to get you up those hills, plenty of space, and if it still has the 4.0 liter, it's a tried and true motor. My 89 Cherokee with the 4.0 gets about 19mpg freeway.

If you look at the underbelly of the Liberty and compare to say a toyota corolla and a cherokee you'll notice many similarities to the corolla, and almost none to a cherokee. nuff said. luni > The Liberty is OK save for being a little girly, IMHO.

Liberty is not such a great car - I regret getting mine. I am upside down - depreciates FAST!! And they replaced the Cherokee with this loser? : Liberty is not such a great car - I regret getting mine. I am upside down : - depreciates FAST!! If your not stuck on Jeep you may want to look at the Nissan Xterra, I've had one since new in 2000, I've just replaced the brakes at 91,000 kilometers but that's all I've done (except for new tires at 80,000K) I've never been stuck or had the vehicle fail to start. Plenty of room nd lots of pulling power. J >Happy holidays! > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >Happy holidays to you and yours... >E. At Jeep Jambouree the liberty was one the impressed me the least, useless, more SUV then off road vehicle. > If your not stuck on Jeep you may want to look at the Nissan Xterra, > I've had one since new in 2000, I've just replaced the brakes at [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>Happy holidays to you and yours... >>E. |
