My wife said the Liberty was "dorky". I think they're both right. I live
in an area of extreme snowfall, and one of the year 'round residents has
one. It can't be all bad.

Re: 2wd wranglers
 

No, the new Unlimited is really easy to get in and out of because it has the
exact same ground clearance as the Grand Cherokee.

Re: 2wd wranglers
 

And, when driven by someone with minimal skills, will go pretty much
anywhere that a 4x4 will except for poor traction or really rough
trails. As 2wd pickup and truck drivers have known for decades.
It if gets too rough for an International with dualies, you are probably
gonna need a cat or tractor anyway.

Re: 2wd wranglers
 

I hardly think a big rig compares to a 2wd pickup/SUV. A full size big rig
has got dual rear axles, with a total of eight rear 40" tires, and generally
the ability to lock both rear axles. This is a far sight from a pickup on
28" tires with only one rear wheel spinning in the mud.
