I owned a '05 Liberty up until last 7/13/07. I traded down?:icon_rolleyes: Yeah. I hauled that sucker in exchange for a Pat:smiley_thumbs_up:. I did loved the Liberty but had some issues with it, chief among them being that it leaked into the cargo area when it rained heavily and while it was still under warranty the clowns at the dealership could not fix it. I also did not like the fuel efficiency much and that became apparent when the price of gas down here hit around $3/gal. It took me a while to find something with which I could replace the Liberty and then came along the Pat. From the moment I laid eyes on it, I was hooked. When I saw the fuel economy, I fell in love. With the exception of being lower to the ground, it drives similarly to my liberty. I have test driven the Chevy Equinox, Ford Escape, and Saturn Vue. Liberty beat them all and now Patriot beats them too.
For a company that only makes SUVs the Patriot is a slam dunk in my opinion for Jeep. I think there will be more converts and not necessarily from within the Jeep family.
I will be getting the REC radio installed later this week and when It is all done, I will post pix. Just checking in for now.
I read through some of the forums here and really like what I saw so I decided to sign up. This is really a great resource.
