Have you noticed how compact your KK is?!

Have you noticed how compact your KK is?! I amazed how it fits in the small parking spaces we have today (in all dimensions--on streets and on parking lots), and how well it turns around on crowded/narrower streets. Its size also enables me to fit more stuff in my 2-car garage, while still leaving space for my 90s Grand Cherokee, 3 motorcycles, and my fold-up 3-motorcycle trailer, gardening and handyman stuff, etc, etc.

To me, it turns out that features that serve the KK Liberty reasonably well off road also serve it well in the city!

Your observations/comments, etc?

The KK is mildly longer than the KJ and I think they are both great for passenger comfort given their small footprint!

I have to parallel park everyday at work, so I appreciate its small size and ease of parking.

Last week I drove a Chevy Tahoe as a rental vehicle, that thing felt like I was driving a schoolbus and it was a PITA to park anywhere.

Yes, I've talked with several non-owners and they have mainly said things like "How big that Liberty is!", etc. I think the sort of taller profile look gives an illusion that the KK is longer and wider than it actually is.

i like the slightly bigger size than the kj. but i can still park it unlike some 1/2 ton pick-ups.

what i like about the kk compared to the kj is the huge improvement in the ride quality and the more refined interior.

both have the 3.7L but the kk's 3.7L is so much smoother also.

People are always surprised at the tight turning radius of my KJ. Really compact for parking and turning around in a driveway or cul de sac

Out performs similarly equipped JKU being shorter, narrower, tighter turning radius, and $10K cheaper.

There are so many features/benefits of the KJ/KK Liberties that don't go noticed by the casual observer. People are constantly floored at how well my KJ drives on the highway on the way to trails - and then how well it performs off-road. Right up there with a lot of the Wranglers we see and it dusts the FJ Cruisers and others like them.

Then on the way to get a sandwich afterwards we turn into a parking spot that their Honda Civic couldn't get into without putting it in reverse and back forward again - my turning radius is better than theirs! :icon_biggrin:

I always thought it was the other way around

I parked in a "Compact Only" spot the other day and really didn't have any trouble. Width was a little close, but the Jeep was easily short enough to fit in the space with no problems at all.
