Found an excerpt from the 2002 Jeep Liberty Service Manual – the engine section for the 3.7L versionJeep LibertyImage via Wikipedia

I don’t think it is a problem for me to post this (I hope not and will pull it if it turns out not to be ok to post sections from Jeep Liberty service manuals.) I guess if Chrysler goes ahead and simplifies their product line by removing duplicates AND they make the Liberty go away (which I don’t think they would) in favour of the Dodge Nitro, then the service manual wouldn’t matter too much!

2002 Jeep Liberty 3.7L Engine service manual

 

This Jeep commercial was recorded in Boston in 2007. It shows a Jeep Liberty driving along on a nice country highway, a male ‘voice over’ comes on and starts to describe the Jeep, suddenly in mid-sentence, the Jeep Liberty on the screen makes a sharp right hand turn, and goes off-road, the announcer is left without anything to say (a bit incredulous actually) and the camera continues on the road without the Jeep Liberty.

Then just as suddenly as it swerved off the road, it came back on in a cloud of dust. The announcer then picks up where he left off, gets a sentence out and then the Jeep swerves off road again, this time the announcer kind of gices an ‘awe man, can you believe this’ type of comment and then they end it.

 

Geeky guy walks into gas station and grabs a gas tank….then the Jeep commercial flashes to different new optional features (ie speaker in the tailgate)…then it flashes back to the geeky guy and the gas tank, he is huddling at the slurpy machine filling the Jerry can with slurpy – then he walks out and they say ‘Jeep Patriot – 30MPG’ …hmm, not a very imaginitive ad….

 

This is that nice and smooth (and very funny!) Jeep Liberty Commercial where the Liberty is driving down a forested road and collects different animals that all sing ‘rock me gently’ – pay attention to the wolf!

 

With Chrysler’s financial woes of late, it got me wondering if Chrysler shouldn’t just ditch all the Jeep vehicles but the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and a Liberty/Patriot type vehicle.

There are already plans to scrap the Commander and the Compass, Liberty and Patriot all seem to take up the same space. It’s almost like they are competing against themselves.

I think that it would behoove Chrysler to whittle their lineup down to just three SUVs. A lineup of just the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and a Liberty-esque vehicle would significantly reduce costs and simplify consumer choice.
