Before Liberty could wear the Jeep® nameplate, it had to walk the walk. That's why we put it through the original test used on Jeep military vehicles, including 15,000 off-highway miles and validation on the famed Rubicon trail. Combine that with the Toledo North Assembly Plant's high standards for research, planning, development, and production, and now we're talkin' the talk!

The 210-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 (left) allows Liberty to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The 2.8L Common-Rail Diesel (CRD) (right) boasts 160 horsepower and provides up to 32% better fuel efficiency compared to gasoline engines.†

Legendary 4WD Systems
Part-time Command-Trac® (398KB) and the available full-time Selec-Trac® (423KB) four-wheel-drive systems deliver confident capability, making Liberty one of the few in its class to offer a true low-range mode.
Jeep Jamborees  
The available Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential distributes up to 100 percent of available torque to the rear wheel with the most traction, giving you added security in inclement weather.
Ample Ground Clearance
Bring on the terrain. The water-fording capabilities of Liberty get you through wet off-highway trails or flooded underpasses. And at curb weight, Liberty delivers an impressive 9.4 inches of ground clearance, 37-degree approach angle, a 31.5-degree departure angle and a breakover angle of 21.8 degrees.
Rack-And-Pinion Steering
The precise rack-and-pinion steering system is Jeep-engineered to maintain off-highway ruggedness while retaining its fun-to-drive quality. Effort, feel, and response are tuned to give the driver accurate control and positive feedback on any terrain.
Powerful Pull  
When properly equipped, Jeep Liberty can tow up to 5,000 pounds. That means you can haul your boat to the water or pull your living room to your new digs without breaking a sweat.
Independent Front Suspension
The Jeep-engineered coil spring independent front suspension on Liberty combines excellent overall ride, handling, and precise steering control with Rubicon-tested capabilities. Professional driver. Do not try this yourself.
