#11 of 39 Towing U-Haul Trailers by jeepgirl05 Jan 21, 2008 (4:42 pm)
I have a 05 diesel Liberty, am moving from MT to CO in April or May. I'll be pulling a uhaul trailer, thinkin about a 5x10 cu.ft. The place where I'll be getting the trailer from, says I will have to drive Jeep in 4wd all the way there. Will I really have to do this? I've never used it to pull anything before.

Replying to: jeepgirl05 (Jan 21, 2008 4:42 pm) I'm not sure who told you that, but that's an incorrect statement. If you notice in Jeep literature, your towing capacity is GREATER in 2 wheel drive vs. 4 wheel drive. I found this out as I was going to tow 5000 pounds in an '07 Grand Cherokee last year. I was advised by my dealership that 2 wheel drive (which is what I had) was going to benefit me more because I had greater towing capacity. Why it works out that way, I'm not sure as I'm new to Jeeps and won't have a 4 wheel drive model until my next Jeep, but I trust the dealer more than the guy down at U-Haul in this particular situation.
#13 of 39 Caribou1 is right: by siberia Jan 29, 2008 (5:11 am)
Caribou1 is right about towing in AWD to add stability under a variety of conditions. When I tow in the hilly curvy Ozarks I always tow in AWD to distribute the load to two differentials instead of one. If you do a lot of highway towing at higher speeds you will find that running in 2WD will get the rear differential quite a lot hotter than when towing in AWD because in 2WD only the rear differential carries the load.   When your transfer case is in AWD the setup is virtually the same as most of the older Grand Cherokees that only had AWD for towing and normal driving.
#14 of 39 Wiring Kit for my 07 Jeep Liberty.... by orlyzz Feb 24, 2008 (5:46 pm)
I just recently purchased and installed a tow hitch for my Liberty. I also order an plug in wiring kit ....I went under the rear bumper to look for the male plug connector as so I could plug into the the wiring kit (which has a female adapter)...but there was nothing to plug into? Can anyone give me advice to where or what I need to do to hook up the tow wiring with out cutting into the wiring harness itself?   Thanks...   Orly.

Replying to: orlyzz (Feb 24, 2008 5:46 pm) I once read there is a pre-cabled harness with wires and connectors for relays (?) inside the truck, under the left plastic cover of the trunk. Just make sure you don't confuse the plus wire from the battery with the plus from the "accessories".

Replying to: orlyzz (Feb 24, 2008 5:46 pm) What kind of wiring harness did you buy? What is the brand or part number? Once I get that I can help you.   Thanks Paul

Replying to: fmk (Feb 15, 2007 10:03 am) I live in Edmonton, I paid $400.00 to install a controller on my 2005 Liberty the dealer told me a Chev pickup would cost $90.00 but something about the Liberty uses up many hundreds of dollars worth of Labour
#18 of 39 2005 Jeep Liberty by walt05liberty Feb 26, 2008 (5:28 pm)
Does anyone know where I can purchase a front bumper (replace original) and the approximate cost ? 2005 Liberty Sport 3.7 litre 6 speed manual Replies to this message: lipid (Feb 27, 2008 6:24 am)

Replying to: walt05liberty (Feb 26, 2008 5:28 pm) I'm not certain exactly what you are looking for. Do you want a factory replacement? And if so, just the plastic cover? It is about $125 at the dealer for the 2006 model.   If you are looking for a 'real' bumper, then you may have some difficulty. I've searched all over and only found one. It is a heavy steel bumper for off-road use. Cost about $900. You probably would have to do some cutting and welding to install it.
