Oh but it is a piece of crap.
A "trail-rated" "4x4" whose foundation is a uni-body chassis! Saying its a 4-wheel drive car is one thing, but saying that it is a "trail rated", ready-to-pound-the-ruts 4x4 is definitely another...
I talk to lots of people who own these unibody jeeps (cherokees and grand cherokees mostly) and none of them really like the way jeep has gone. The ones that use them for wheelin' mostly complain about creaking and popping of the actual frame after 4x4ing for a couple years. They simply aren't cut out for it.
The liberty MAY be able to take on other 4x4's when it comes to tackling terrain, but where it fails is having the true quality feel of a 4x4 (heaviness mostly) and in durability.
From experience, I can say that no unibody "4x4" will ever be able to tow out a 3000+ lb log with brute force anytime soon. When you have something to challenge me on that, post some pics.
