i rented the liberty for a weekend before i got my x. the liberty does have good engine power. but had a alot of body roll side to side when driveing even on smooth roads. in early 2002 they lowered the liberty by 1 inch. the liberty i rented was one of the lowered ones. i took it on some basic trails and the bottom frame was hitting the ground all the time. plus there is no inside cargo room. plus there is no roof rack i cant even put my fishing poles up there no cross bars on the rack. you really wont go wrong with either truck u get.
