That is awesome! Thanks.

Love the comparison with the Cherokee. I had one and was so disappointed when they were discontinued. Didn't want another car until the Pat came out. Still like the Cherokee, but Pat is a very close second!

not to hijack, but after seeing the much improved 08 Libby, I would consider that as well. Nice rig, and probably closer to the old Cherokee than the Pat.

BigDuke6: The 08 Libby certainly will be a closer fit to the old Cherokee with respect to power - both are 6 cylinders.

Both have their place. I think that the Cherokee fits somewhere just between the two.

Unless I can figure out how to affordably get a v6 turbo diesel engine to fit into a used commander, we will be looking more closely at the Libby.

Great post. Especially for those of us stillinsecure about size.

This weekend I noticed a Patriot parked next to a Scion xB in the parking lot of a grocery store. I was really surpised to see that the two vehicles appeared to be the same height; separately, the xB seems so much more diminutive than the Patriot. I snapped a pic with my phone...

That is unreal, I'd have though that was Photo Shopped. The xB actually looks a fraction taller. Was that a 2 wheel drive Patriot ?

...The xB actually looks a fraction taller...

I think that is just a result of my vantage point when I snapped the pic. I noticed when I was standing off to the side of the xB that the Patriot looked a smidge taller (and vice versa), but when I stood exactly between them they appeared the same height.

...Was that a 2 wheel drive Patriot ?

Nope. It had the "4x4" badge on the back.

Dimensions in blurred format :doh:

 

[jp-ajdayt]

I purchased my '08 Patriot when the transmission died in my '02 Liberty (!?). People thought the Patriot was larger than the Liberty and I finally looked up the information - the Liberty (earlier years, I suppose) is 0.5" longer, 0.25" wider and 5" taller.

Also the 2009 Forester is going to be larger than previous ones.

2 Green Jeeps - Patriot and Cherokee

Thought you might think this was a cool shot of the two:

Also, here are 3 Jeeps that just happened to be parked in a few spaces apart:

Cool, huh?

Great pictures! Thanks.

Those pics nice, you couldn't have planned a better shot much less luck up on it like that.

Since this is the size comparo thread... how about vertical? Just wanted to do a quick hijack and compare goebel1's pat before and after his lift kit install.
