^ Keep in mind, a Dakota weighs more than your Liberty. A 4.7 with the same tranny in a 99 - 04 Grand Cherokee is rated to tow 6500lbs with 4wd, 6700 with 2wd. And yeah, the vehicle itself is probably somewhat limiting in the rating too.

Dave - I didn't realize there was that big a difference between an auto with a lockup TC and a stick in terms of efficiency at cruise. Maybe I should pursue that T56 swap I've been contemplating...
