I own both a Cherokee and the model Liberty that replaced it. It's dubious whether or not the added height solved that rear door entry. That almost needs an extra long hinge to allow it to open out further, and even then the trim would still probably get in the way. I just wish it got the I6 instead of that V6. Good V6, just doesn't communicate its power very well. That independent front. Even though I don't like how it feels on the road at all. And the non serviceable sealed bearings are annoying. And the sealed upper ball joints. It did kind of set the standard for most modern trucks and heavier SUVs. Since it's not too much of a fatty with a relatively good wheel base you could generally get around off road pretty well stock. That's the thing about Chrysler's engineering which I appreciate. They were quite good at picking fairly modern technologies to go with. When the parts bin dries up. The revised Liberty and Nitro adds two inches to the wheel base. Actually looks like they lowered it a half inch too. It's debatable whether it had a significant increase there. Probably doesn't make much of a difference now these days when they replaced it with the Cherokee SUV in '13. Admittedly having seen a few videos of people throwing those rentals into at questionable rock climbing situations* I do tend to give those a pass on the "trail worthiness". *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prEa-xSYHo0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prEa-xSYHo0
