My 96 Cherokee 2 door got crushed in a tree fall. Storm Damage.
Found replacement. A 2006 Liberty Sport 3.7L, Auto, Command Trac 4wd.
New to Liberty world. I understand Jeep added lots of subtle features by 2006. So I have some questions:
1. What exactly is Electronic Stability Program? And it's mystery button on the steering column. Is it appreciated, or is it just a sales tart?
2. Anti-Lock Brakes. OK, the Cherokee had 'em too. And we all disconnected them because they suck. Are they better on the Liberty?
3. What is All-Speed Traction Control (TCS)? Is it hardware? Software? Worth it? Does is resolve real issues, or just take the driver out of the driving experience?
4. And how about four-wheel Brake Traction Control System (BTCS). On most vehicles proper driver skills operating the brake pedal seems to do this just fine. What is wrong with the Liberty that it needs this?
5. Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). Hmmm. Does the Liberty have a hard time keeping it's shiny side up? ERM sounds more like a substitution for basic driver awareness and skill. What does ERM do and how well does it do it?
6. Brake Assist? Is this just marketing gibberish for "power brakes"? Or is it some new gimmick?
OK, so I'm a bit old skool and maybe I should take off the "Trail Rated" badge and put a "Mall Rated" badge on the Liberty.
Take my humor and give me some feedback! Just here trying to learn a thing or two.
Thanks
