Found this place on a Google Search. Main reason for getting a Liberty is I wanted something capable to pull a 5000-lb trailer, and get pretty good gas milage the rest of the time. My driving is 99.9% combined city/hwy paved roads. For off roading I have a CanAm Outlander 650 HO EFI. Trailer is a 2990-GVW, and figured a 5K tow is more then enough to handle my needs trailering to the trails a couple of times a year. Last 3 years I went to Colorado (from Pennsylvania) 1800-1900 miles one way, headed there again this summer. So that will be the real test for the Liberty. I came out of a 2008 F-250 Superduty crew cab long bed 4x4, with the 6.4 liter diesel, economy it wasn't, and was starting to nickel/dime me. Looked at Wrangler Unlimited's, FJ's, Escapes, came home with a 2010 Liberty Sport 4x4. So far mpg have been increasing, just under 3000 miles on it now. MPG's started out mid 17's to now right around 20-mpg's. I had to baby the Ford to get 15-mpg. Jeep came with factory installed tow package which was a must for me. |

Your KK will tow it just fine. Just be sure to turn off the overdrive when towing or it will shift up and down all day. Where are you in PA? I used to live in Meadville. Terry |

Welcome  There are not many jeep forums that can match the KK section that LOST has... As a plus, you should see mileage increase a little more after the 5K mark...... |

Thanks for the welcome. I live in the heart of the anthracite region, Shenandoah. In the news for Police corruption involving a death of an illegal Mexican. |
