Chrysler says powerplant, minus noise, smell, will be available in 2004 in N. America
The automaker already sells a Liberty overseas, known there as the Cherokee, that is powered by a Mercedes-Benz diesel.

I don't know about a MD deisel but I do know that they use an Italian built, VM Motori diesel overseas. Detroit diesel bought VM while Roger Penske owned the company so it is still a D/C engine.
There are some pics of the engine here:

I have also seen a Durango with a V-6 "Delta" diesel which is also a Detroit Diesel engine.

If it in a MB diesel, they you can be sure that it will be very well made. They have been making excellent diesels for a long time.
2000 Dodge/Cummins Quad Cab. 49,000 miles . BHAF. K&N in the trash. 60 gallon combo tool box/aux tank. 18 mpg average city/hwy. 26 mpg hwy at 70-75 mph.
Sir,
could you please tell all where we can
verify this rumor. Local dealer in Pa
when asked told me no such thing. Of
course the last person on earth I would
believe is a dealer.

Do a "google.com" search using "Jeep Liberty to offer diesel"
You'll get a ton of hits.
This would certainly be easier to deal with versus purchasing an unheard of and unseen Brazilian Crosslander. I will e-mail Chrsyler Canada and see if they are going to do anything here. I have to replace a vehicle and having driven my 6.5 for the last four years I can not stand the thought of having to purchase another gas powered vehicle.

Yeah, but the Liberty is YOU GEE ELL WHY ugly! It looks like a Kia Sportage scaled up 10% or so. At least the Crosslander looks kinda like something The Crocodile Hunter would drive
