Okay, take it easy on me , the other day I had the wife`s pt cruiser at the dealers for some warranty work and I was talking to a sells man who like me loves diesels and I was talking about getting rid of the pt cruiser pretty soon, but I wanted something with a diesel engine , you know another superduty or excurrsion, and he said in november jeep was coming out with 2.8L crd engine in the liberty`s. I thought that was pretty cool!! Both of our parents retired from chrysler so I`m into both brands , (ford and chrysler). Sorry if this is old news! Hopefully more diesel will be coming our way! The 2.8L is a mercedes engine.

 

Yes defintly check it out, the disels are pretty much the best when it comes to emmisions, torqe, and mileage, and yes this is very old news I heard about it 2 years ago.

 

Sorry for post something thats old news!! I have a 4 and 3 yr old and everything is new to me . They seam to take up most of our time.Thanks for your imput!

 

Before you go nutty on the diesel, check into the safety ratings on those things. Remember, you have small children who will ride in there!

 

I would test drive the diesel jeep and then make a conculsion. Europe has a whole bunch of disels and there pretty torqey.

 

I hope that some of those many hidden Diesels are meant for Ford cars aswell as the smaller trucks/SUV's

 

I can tell you from my mother owning a liberty that it is a very nice vehicle. She's leasing hers and before that she leased a cherokee sport. She loves this thing, and is pretty hard on it. Even the 3.7 V6 gets good gas mileage, and is peppy for that thing. As far as safety, I never looked at the ratings, but overally its a great Jeep. Now that there making a diesel version, it makes it even nicer-more torque, better mileage,and the ease of modifying a diesel engine for short money.

 

I`ve heard alot of good thing about them! I searched and the 2003 model was awarded the governments 5 star safty rating. I have not found any ratiing for the 05 yet? My wife like the size of the liberty. I want a 2002 or 2003 excursion with the 7.3L psd! She drives a 2002 pt cruiser now , and sometimes drives my 2002 f250 psd. She would drive it more buy she afraid of messing it up! Got to love those diesels!!!!!
