Yep, and it was replaced with the straight six for good reason... well
two good reasons, one being that GM bought the V6 back.

Re: 4.0L vs. 3.7L
If everyone why buys cars knows anything about engines, the Liberty would
sell about 500 units a year. Unfortunately most people buy cars don't
necessarily buy them for what engine it has, unless there is a specific need
(towing, high-speed performance, etc). For the vast majority of people,
whether or not car has seat heaters, 20" factory rims and a DVD player for
the brats is more important than the cylinder arrangement. Sad but true.

Yep. That said, we do own a vehicle with seat heaters and a DVD. But it
doesn't have 20" rims and it has a deisel V-8.
