2005 Jeep - Safety questions - Australia
 

Hi Guys, does anyone know of any safety test reports for the Jeep after
2004? Cherokee here - known as Liberty in US. I can only find some from
2002. I'm interested in purchasing a 2005 Jeep Ltd I have a 5 month old and
am concerned about safety, have heard they can be top heavy and a possible
roll risk.

All 4x4s are a possible roll risk. If you aren't prepared to drive one
slower than you would another vehicle, don't get one.
