I have not seen yet a vehicle that i would like to buy to replace my Liberty. I use it for daily driver when I was working for a company, now i am semi retired and working only from home, I use it for towing a trailer when my youngest daougthers in college in St. Louis, Missouri, I use it for offroad treks two or three times a year, before the pandemic, and for long distance traveling on highways, I have family in Charlotte, NC, Royal Oaks, MI, Colorado Springs, CO, Miami, FL, Toronto Canada, Walla Walla, WA, and before that in Enterprise, OR, and have it on the sand in the Atlantic, and in the Pacific. My wife, me, the luggage and a cooler for rest areas lunches, 25 to 30 mpg and cruising speeds up to 80 MPH where permitted. My son in law in Charlotte installed air lockers at front and rear differentials, full length skid panels and custom made side rock bar guards. No lifts because of the heavy use on highways. This Feb 27 will be 17 years for me with it. 262,500 plus miles now hope to get to 400K miles. Mayor repairs; the engine at 90K under factory warranty because was using oil at a rate of 1 qt in 200 miles, and replaced the transmission 4 years ago. Mayor booboo, filler with gasoline at a BP station because of the different color of the dispenser nozzle (green for gas and black for diesel). It is the vehicle that have given me almost the most pleasure to own, with the exception of my '69 TR-6.
