The Weekend Warrior Generation
2000-2009

The Liberty infused bold engineering advances like independent front suspension and a new 3.7L V6 to replace the longstanding 4.0L I-6 engine.

The Unlimited was slightly different from the long military TJ-L model, adding five inches of rear overhang but having less space in the mid-body. The Unlimited is unofficially known by fans as the “LJ”.

In 2005, the Jeep Brand introduced the Rubicon Unlimited – it featured the wheelbase of the Unlimited and off-road features of the Rubicon.

Jeep® Brand engineers worked hard to improve on-road refinement by adding a short / long-arm independent front suspension similar to the 2002 Liberty.

The available full-time Quadra-Drive II® 4x4 system featured front and rear limited slip differentials and a center differential-lock which operated in low-range.

The 2006 Commander was the first seven-passenger Trail Rated® Jeep® 4x4. Based on the ‘05 Grand Cherokee platform, the boxy Commander was only slightly longer than the WK (two inches), but a three-inches-higher stepped roofline and stadium-style seating arrangement allowed for an extra row of seats in back.

Basic power-and drivetrain offerings were the same as the Grand Cherokee (WK). As with most Jeep 4x4 models, the Commander carried the Jeep Trail Rated badge. To be Trail Rated, a vehicle must meet performance standards in traction, articulation, ground clearance, maneuverability, and water fording.

The vehicle is front-wheel-drive with a choice of two available electronically controlled 4x4 systems for all-weather use: Freedom-Drive I™, a full-time system for on-road use, or Freedom-Drive II®, that is off-road capable.

In 2017 the Jeep Compass (MK) wound down and laid the path to an all-new Compass (MP) that is an evolution of quality, performance, fuel efficiency and capability.

The vehicle is front-wheel-drive with a choice of two available electronically controlled 4x4 systems for all-weather use: Freedom-Drive I™, a full-time system for on-road use, or Freedom-Drive II®, that is off-road capable.

The Patriot (MK) was extremely popular model that offered numerous adventures over its decade of production.

The 2007 Wrangler’s signature round headlamps, iconic seven-slot grille, solid axles, removable doors, exposed hinges, fold-down windshield, innovative removable and convertible tops all honor Jeep brand heritage while signaling new levels of capability and versatility.

The Wrangler is certified with a Jeep Trail Rated® badge, verifying that the vehicle is able to perform in a variety of challenging off-road conditions identified by five performance categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. In short, the Wrangler is designed to satisfy hardened off-road enthusiasts and luxury SUV drivers alike, with minimal compromise to either extreme.

Wrangler is the ultimate, all-American 4x4 freedom machine – the Jeep® brand’s modern-day descendant of the original, heroic Willys MB.

Building on the successful, original Jeep formula with an all-new frame, exterior and interior design, engine and Safety / Security and convenience features.

For 2011, all Wranglers boast an all-new interior, and Sahara models feature a more premium body-color hardtop. Wrangler Unlimited combines class-leading off-road capability with everyday practicality including room for five adult passengers and the most cargo space ever offered in a Wrangler.

Jeep Brand engineers sought to improve the Liberty vehicle’s on-road refinement and strengthen its off-road abilities. As a result, All-New independent front and five-link suspension systems, along with an all-new available Selec-Trac® II full-time 4x4 system were developed, giving the Liberty refined on-road handling without compromising the vehicles off-road attributes.

In 2011, the Jeep brand celebrates its 70th Anniversary with a special edition of the Jeep Liberty. This unique vehicle is available with unique exterior paint color (Bronze Star Pearl), 70th Anniversary badging, and more.

All-new for 2011 and more than 4 million sales after the first Grand Cherokee, the Jeep® brand improves the formula and delivers the perfect blend of on-road refinement and off-road capability.
