Finally our local Jeep dealer had a Diesel Liberty in stock. You can tell it is a diesel at ilde from the curb. At a stop sign it seemed sluggish at first until the rpms got up just a bit. Seems to have quite a bit of torque for the size of the engine. Was very pleased with the drivability of the engine trans combo. Thumbs up from me. Now how do I justify trading my 2002 Liberty with 15,000 miles on it for the diesel??
